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. Follow the President's Daily Brief on Apple, Spotify or wherever you listen.

Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, July 28, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. The Fauci diary. New York surge begins, suspect wanted and Uncle Herschel comes out on top. It's all coming up. Then Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. First, Rand Paul has released Tony Foushee's diary. It's a funny sentence, but it's true. Among other things, Anthony Foushee lied about the coronavirus's fatality rate, telling the public it was two to two and a half percent, but privately recording in his diary that it was more like 0.2%. He also documented the advice he gave to the mayor of New York City and the governor of California on closing schools, restaurants and bars. But then publicly has said he didn't make those recommendations. He also wrote in his journal in January of 2020 that the virus did not start at the wet market but was amplified there. Conflicting what he said. Months later, border czar Tom Holman announced that the New York ice surge has begun. He announced plans for this last month, but he gave no timeline for launching it. Well, here we are, he told Governor Hochul, you're going to see more ICE agents than you've ever seen in New York City. And it's coming this after the Democrat controlled state legislature passed more sanctuary state laws. Holman said, I'm keeping my promise. We're going to send more ICE agents to New York because you took away the efficiencies of safer arrests at county jails. Homan said this operation may be in place for more than a month. The shooting in Seattle at that food festival this weekend, one suspect is in custody, a 15 year old boy. Three people are dead, several wounded. Another 19 year old man, believed to be an associate of the teenager in custody was among those killed. There might be a third possible suspect. They were shooting at each other. It appears to be gang related. Among Those injured, a 2 year old boy, a 23 year old man and a 39 year old woman. They were all hospitalized. The man and woman have been discharged. The two year old is in satisfactory condition. Still today, the Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Messino, she's out finally. Presumably she will be replaced with a person who does not hate Cracker Barrel and and their customers and everything it stands for. This is the woman who oversaw the complete rebrand of Cracker Barrel, even getting rid of Uncle Herschel. The stock price of Cracker Barrel under her reign went down so much the brand lost almost a billion dollars of market cap. Here's to Uncle Herschel fighting for his legacy. And here's to the new guy.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on this Tuesday. Writing in the Wall Street Journal, Hallman Jenkins says that Americans need a place where they can get the truth. Well yeah, but where might that be? Not by listening to the political parties. No way. They are true seekers. Spin and self advancement all day, every day. Newspapers? No many are going out of business because they're boring as well as deceitful. Tough combo TV news. Come on. They have found fiscal magic by giving audiences exactly what they want to hear. True or not. I took note of liberal Tom Hanks mocking Ms. Whatever. Thanks for some straight shooting, Tom. Do you think social media delivers the truth? It does not. The game plan there is slash and burn. The Internet assassins understand it's cash for clicks and gutter sniping delivers the clicks. Mr. Jenkins held up. Journalist Katie Couric is a truth teller. But when I tried to book her for the no spin news talk about the CBS chaos, she ran and hid somewhere in mid Manhattan. Note for Hallman, in order to report the truth, you actually have to stand up and state it. The media collapse has badly damaged the USA, no question. And that is the truth. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You you can reach me bill@billoriley.com bill o'reilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail Doyle and I'm going to withhold his last name because I don't want to make fun of Doyle, but I'm going to have to. Doyle, you're forcing me to make fun of you. I heard Trump is considering sending ground troops or using tactical nuclear weapons in Iran. Is this true? Bill, not only is it not true, but the fact that you would ask the question then cast doubt upon your ability to gather information. What I would like you to do now, remember I did you a favor and didn't use your last name, is to tell me where you heard that. How did you get that into your mind? It's absurd. Who told you that? Doyle. I can deal with those people. Then it's just crazy. I mean, you sit there. I know. Sit in front of that computer or that phone and the most insane stuff comes out and people believe it. Michael Saunders, Canton, Michigan. I bought the 250 hats for my foursome for a benefit golf outing. We were highly complimented and I bragged I got them from Bill O'Reilly. I would send a few pictures if I knew how. Hey, Michael, you and I just bonded. I can't, I can't figure out the stupid. I got 80,000 things on my phone that I could press and something would happen. I have no idea. But anyway, we appreciate it. The hats are a big hit. If we get the hats, throw them on up, please, because we are starting to ramp up our new production facility and we want you to have these hats for the rest of the summer, early fall. They are the best hats you will ever buy. In a moment, something you might not know. Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not no. The average American consumes 3,000 calories every day. Most popular meals according to Grubhub, pizza, pasta tacos, hamburgers. The typical family of four spends about $100 each week on groceries, mostly on breakfast and dinner. Around the world, a person's diet varies from country to country. Here are a few examples. In Russia, when you wake up, the day begins with pickled eggs and porridge. Many folks in Moscow enjoy a light lunch. Dinner features beet soup, roasted meat, vegetables, vodka, of course. For the Japanese, it's about fish. Day begins with steamed mackerel. A seafood broth is served for lunch. At dinner, folks in the land of the rising sun eat tuna with horseradish. Chinese start the morning with congee, a traditional gruel made from overcooked rice. In the evening, residents there enjoy roast pork with steamed vegetables. In India, it's about spice. Typical meal consists of stewed protein flatbread and more than 25 herbs including curry, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon. Folks in Mumbai also enjoy the heat. The Indians cook with the hottest peppers in the world. Some dishes feature Ghost Chili. It's 200 times spicier than the jalapeno. To South Africa, where the country boasts cuisines from England, Africa, Holland, Belgium, France. Typical breakfast includes bread, coffee, pastries. For dinner, it's all about the braai, the traditional barbecue consisting of pork, lamb, beef slow cooked over an open flame. And here's something else you might not know even if you're hungry. One of the strangest breakfast items in the world can be found in the UK Folks in England, Ireland, Scotland enjoy black pudding. The circular sausage is made from kidneys, barley, intestines, fat and that special ingredient, pig's blood. Whoa. Somebody please pass the pancakes back after this.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment
