Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, July 8, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. NATO in Turkey, oh, excuse me, Turkey, a building buckling. Him too. And Walmart cutting prices. It's all coming up. And Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the president is at the NATO summit held in Turkey and he said he will consider allowing Turkey to buy American F35 fighter jets. The president said we have a better relationship with Turkey and Turkey has been in many ways much more loyal than other countries that we think would be loyal. So it's certainly something we would consider. He is really driving home the point that Italy and England and Germany in particular were not helpful during the war against Iran. He said, I was very disappointed with NATO and frankly, if it weren't held in Turkey, where my friend happens to be a very strong leader, a very strong person, it's possible that I wouldn't have attended. Italy turned us down and Germany turned us down and France turned us down. It's okay. But we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars and they're not there for us. We've always been there for them. Several blocks of Mintown Manhattan were evacuated when construction workers found beams bomb buckling. There's a 37 story former office building. It's being converted into residential housing and beams on the 21st floor started buckling. So the city created a frozen zone for several blocks around the building following 911 calls. This was starting at 8am yesterday. The fear official said is a partial collapse which would be internal, they think. A full collapse onto the street they say is less likely. But when authorities arrived, they were examining the scene. The building continued to move. A team of six people were able to enter the building at around 3pm yesterday to determine if it was safe enough to begin shoring efforts. Graham Platner might be out of the main Senate race. The Democrat candidate has more sexual assault allegations. The latest from an on and off again girlfriend who in 2021 said he broke into her house and raped her. More Democrats are bailing on him. Even Bernie Sanders saying it's now best that he step aside. The the Democratic Party in Maine said he's got to go to but they have until Monday at 5pm to choose a replacement. Otherwise, Susan Collins, the incumbent Republican, will run unopposed. But this far left group Progressive Victory said the potential replacement for Graham Platner struck a female colleague with a bottle he threw at her during a disagreement. Troy Jackson is the former president of the Maine Senate. Walmart announcing they're cutting prices on thousands of items. A 12% cut on ground beef, some even more dramatic than that though. A year of corn from 68 cents to 25 cents and a bag of cherries from 1118 down to 5 63. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by Faith. Please subscribe at YouTube.com@countrytsbyfaith.

Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the Day on this Wednesday. It was almost a relief to see so many respectful displays on July 4th. As I have been reporting, most Americans love their country and believe in its nobility. That is very bad news for the progressive cadres who despise America. You saw them in Newport Beach, California, where looting and other criminal behavior broke out on the fourth. Newport is an affluent community south of the Los Angeles airport. The radicals targeted the beachside town because of its prosperity. You can easily gather them on social media and say, we're going to Newport to cause trouble. And then 400 people show up. Soon, federal and local police agencies are going to have to crack down on those trying to overthrow our system. Lincoln had to do it. So did Franklin Roosevelt. To some extent. You cannot reason with the socialist communist movement. Sedition will have to be confronted or there's going to be big trouble here. And I mean big trouble. I have had quite enough of the destroyers and their media allies. They need to be confronted with the boundaries of the law. If you despise capitalism There are other countries in the world, many of them, who don't have it. Maybe you check that out. Back in a moment. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billorilly.com, name in town if you wish to opine. Mail Joe Milligan. Gillian, Ohio. Bill, I agree with you. The insurance companies are gouging us. I have State Farm and I just saw Caitlin Clark on an ad. I wonder how much is going to cost me at the end of the year. It's going to cost you a lot. These insurance companies are running commercials like I've never seen. And all that comes off the marketing and then your premiums get raised. That's going on. Vicki, concierge member we are Vicki's bodyguards or something. The gas price gouging is one of the downsides of capitalism. I'm a staunch supporter of capitalism. However, there can be some oversight from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Trump says there will be. I'm going to hold him do that. The president can really lay wood to these people if they continue to gouge us, and he should. Norman Concierge. Remember, I don't like Chuck Schumer. This is off my Sunday column. I hope you read it. Okay. Never have. But he could at least hang on to his dignity by being loyal to his brand and quick pandering to the radical communists. He's not going to do that. He's like Biden. They don't believe in anything. They don't. Arthur Concierge, Remember the Democrats mantra for the past several years is saving our democracy. When you hear them all saying it over and over again, you start believing it. Not me. I don't believe. I don't have any. They don't have any solutions to problems. Can you believe that? Saving our democracy. A bunch of bull. Okay. I'm not buying it. In a moment, something you might not know. Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Five years ago today, President Joe Biden announced the withdrawal of American forces from Afghanistan. Just five weeks later, that country was in the hands of the hated Taliban. Here's the story behind the fall of Kabul. President George W. Bush ordered the invasion of Afghanistan in the aftermath of the 911 terror attacks. The mission was simple. Kill al Qaeda terrorists, eliminate the Taliban leaders who gave them shelter and sanctuary. The operation quickly turned into a quagmire. After 20 years of combat, 20 years. President Biden vowed to remove all U.S. troops. On August 15th, 2021, two weeks before American soldiers were set to withdraw. The Taliban entered Kabul. The US Backed government collapsed. The country's president vanished with a whole load of money. Thousands fled the capital city as the disaster unfolded. On live tv, President Biden hailed the operation as a, quote, extraordinary success. The extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats and intelligence professionals. Ten days after Biden's address, a suicide bomber killed 170 civilians and 13 members of the US military at Kabul International Airport. And here's something else you might not know. The Pentagon launched an immediate investigation into the botched withdrawal of U.S. troops. A special inspector general concluded the mission was doomed from the start. States his report, quote, the withdrawal was abrupt and uncoordinated. The US Simply handed Afghanistan to the Taliban. The operation destroyed the morale of Afghan soldiers and police. In total, America's war in Afghanistan claimed the lives of 100,000 Afghans, 3,800 US contractors and 2,500 service members. Little was accomplished unless you believe that giving Taliban all our weapons was an accomplishment. 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.
