Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, July 7, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Platinum accusations, Mitch McConnell missing Trump accounts open and a disappointing finale. It's all coming up then. Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Maine's Democrat senate candidate Graham Platner fed facing new allegations that he broke into a woman's home and sexually assaulted her. The woman is now 41 years old. She told Politico that she and Platner had an on and off relationship in 2021. But then he entered her rural main home uninvited one night while intoxicated. And Platner forced, quote, forced himself on her while she repeatedly told him to stop. In a video on Twitter, Platner said any accusation of non consensual behavior is categorically false. But Platner's campaign canceled all events over the weekend. A few reporters are saying that Mitch McConnell is in bad shape in the hospital, really bad shape. He was admitted on June 14. It has been confirmed that that morning emergency responders performed CPR on an unconscious individual undergoing cardiac arrest at the senator's Washington address. But a spokesperson did not disclose any information, any reason for the hospitalization or any details about his condition. McConnell is 84. He's the longest serving Senate leader in U.S. history. And he serving out his final term, which ends in January. The Trump administration has officially launched the Trump accounts. Over 6 million accounts have been created. Over 1.4 million newborns have received the $1,000 federal contribution. This is available to children born between January 1, 2025 and December 31, 2028. In order to open an account, you parents have to fill out an IRS form 4547. That's right. Trump number 45 and 47. So IRS form 4547. But don't be discouraged. By filling out a government form, TrumpACounts.gov made it right. Really, really easy. And pretty much anyone can contribute to the account. Grandparents, employers, even some nonprofits. The president rang the New York Stock Exchange bell from the Oval Office, first time that's ever happened to kick off the Trump accounts. Disappointing finale for America in the World Cup. Our worst game so far against Our best opponent. 4 to 1 loss with a late Belgium goal. But we just couldn't get anything going. We should be proud of our team though. It'll be a fun road for the next four years until the next World Cup. We got a great future. The team still remaining today's Argentina and Egypt and Switzerland versus Colombia. That's to get the final quarter final spot. Belgium will play Spain, France against Morocco and Norway versus England. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by Faith. The great Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

It's easy to figure out why many members of the Trump administration continue to give access to Fox News. It's well watched by conservatives and generous to the president's men and women. Social media outlets will soon pass FNC's reach, but it will remain a comfort zone for the right. Nothing wrong with that when you consider that the other television news outfits are are all committed left. The Trump administration is the most press accessible in history. Unlike many Democrats who boycott opposing points of view, it speaks with the leftist media. I guess the Trumpsters hope to persuade Long shot. And you can imagine President Biden speaking with the opposition. Very rarely happen. Getting specific. I don't understand the Jake Tapper thing. CNN loathes Mr. Trump and Tapper is right on board with that. He is deeply enmeshed in the gotcha game, so why bother with him? I'm not getting this at all. I do respect politicians and pundits that mix it up. That is a rapidly shrinking group. But I don't believe in rewarding contrived, deceitful behavior. Both parties should engage the opposition. Just be honest about your agenda. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com billoriley.com, name in town. If you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Bob, actor, la you keep referring to the Democratic Party as the Democratic Party. Why? There's nothing democratic about it, in my opinion. Well, Bob, if you want to rewrite history, that's up to you. But when the Democratic Party was founded, okay, Thomas Jefferson, it was the Democratic Party. So I mean, I don't inject politics into this. It's history. MAUREEN Great column, Bill. Many people believe their rights come from the government, not from God. How sad is that? My column, God vs. Communism, just posted yesterday Sunday. We'll be read it. And you know, if you have younger people, you got they don't know. That's why I wrote the column. You guys say, look, this is like a five minute read here and you'll learn a lot. A lot of times they don't care to learn. But what are you going to do? David Carve in Lumberton, New Jersey, just watched the Scaramou interview, one of the most interviews yet. What great insight to the world of politics and a great follow up to Victor Davis Hanson. I can't wait to see what you have on next. Neither can I. Decisions sometimes are made at the last minute. But we're doing, as I said, really well with that, thanks to you. But it's free. Come on, let's get out. Let's go. Avis Engel, Medford, Oregon the clip of the Bidens is absolutely bizarre. Yes, it was. Was. Got no coverage. They're not going to touch Joe and Jill. In a moment. Something you might not know now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. The summer season is officially underway and for millions of Americans, that means a ticket to see live music. Some of the most popular tours this year feature aging rockers.

The group is performing without their original drummer, Neil Peart, who died in 2020. 74 year old John Mellencamp back on the road. Unlike previous concerts, a singer is promising to perform his biggest hits. Jack and Diane, Pink House's Small Town Hurts so good Bruce Springsteen. Currently touring the USA and Europe, the Boss recently made headlines for bashing President Trump while performing in England. Folks in South America can see Alice Cooper and his band, the Hollywood vampires. The 78 year old is famous for his horror antics including makeup, leather whip and the appearance of a ten foot python. Beach boy Mike Love, still singing at age 85. You can see him and the boys at 40 concerts this summer. The oldest rocker, Ringo Starr, The Beatle turns 86 this July. And here's something else you might not know.
