Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, June 11, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America cracking down on birth tourism, SpaceX going public, Bill Gates testifies and the World cup starts right now. It's all coming up then. Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, an estimated 33,000 United States born children are given birthright citizenship every year because their foreign parents arrived in America on a temporary visa or a tourist visa just before they were born. And then those American born children can sponsor their parents for green cards. State Department officials have announced that they brought an end to a West African sophisticated birth tourism network of more than 100 foreign nationals using fraudulent documents and visa fixers to get themselves visas and others. Same thing in North Africa revoking over 100 visas for birth tourist parents who came to America to give birth to their children. In Europe, a single US embassy has uncovered more than 400 cases of birth tourism since 2024. This led investigators to at least six companies that coach Europeans on how to best secure a temporary U.S. visa. The state Department said, we shut it down, revoked their visas and permanently banned several fraudsters from traveling to the United states ever again. SpaceX is going public tomorrow. This is going to be the largest initial public offering by a lot. Wall street is working to see if they can even manage it. Bloomberg wrote that at S and P Global's equity book build platform preparations began six weeks ago. They used artificial intelligence tools to identify potential bottlenecks and and capacity constraints. Executives called this a pre mortem exercise designed to uncover weaknesses before they emerge it in live trading. The result of this testing was a tripling of order handling capacity and a fourfold improvement in response times. This IPO will make Elon Musk a trillionaire. Only five years ago his net worth was only $200 billion. So it's 5x in five years. Bill Gates testified yesterday in a closed door congressional hearing about Jeffrey Epstein. He told the committee that Epstein exploited information about his extramarital affairs, quote, to pressure me to re engage with him. In his statements, Bill Gates repeated his prior comments that he regretted having anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein, but had never seen him engage in any criminal conduct. The World cup kicks off right now. First game is in Mexico. Mexico versus South Africa, it's in Mexico City. Then South Korea versus Chechiya in Guadalajara. I looked up tickets for the Mexico City game, the opening game, $5,000 just to get in the door. Worst seats in the house, $5,000 a ticket in Mexico. Friday is Canada versus Bosnia. That's in Toronto. And then America versus Paraguay in Los Angeles, 9:00 Eastern. I'm Mike Slater. Please subscribe to my podcast, politics by faith.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day on a Thursday. The Justice Department has launched an investigation into California's chaotic voting procedures, and Democrats are not happy about it. In fact, Sacramento will not comply with the U.S. attorney's request for information. The Constitution gives each state the power to regulate voting. That's because James Madison and the boys did not want a powerful federal government bullying states to vote a certain way. However, the feds have oversight to make sure states do not allow cheating. The progressive left and its media enablers are screaming that charges of fraud in California are, quote, baseless. But how would they know there hasn't been an investigation? A phony assessment of California's voting standards is baseless. Reality is another matter. Now, I have no evidence there was fraud in the Golden State. Here's what I do know. You can register to vote on Election Day itself in California with little or no documentation that you are a resident or even a citizen of the country. Anyone can collect mail in votes and take them to county offices in sacks or packages. Undocumented folks can get California driver's licenses. They then use to register to vote. The deadline to have your vote counted in California a week after Election day. 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. Okay. I just did a new YouTube bonus.

It's voters who cause all of the social problems, not politicians. They're just the tools. Yeah. A lot of Americans have lost their way, that's for sure. Stephen Kanziers Remember, the real war begins if the left should take the House. The war against Trump will continue with more impeachments and a push for prison time. Not while he's in office. There may be an impeachment move, but it's not going to get anywhere. Obviously, 2/3 of the Senate to convict afterward. They'll torture him and his family. No doubt they will. Ron PERRY drums Pennsylvania I know President Trump doesn't want to kill civilians in Iran, but aren't there military targets he can go after? Yeah. And I think we're going to see that shortly. David Concierge Remember, after listening to Stephen A. Smith's explanation of his objections to Trump attending the Knick Spur game in New York City, I understand the logistical nightmare. Stephen A. Is correct. All right. Hope you saw all that. It was a pretty good debate. Hope you saw it in a moment. Something you might not know.

you something you might not know. 89 years ago today, one of the most influential films of all time was released nationwide. The picture featured hilarious writing, romantic subplots, music and pure anarchy. Here is a story behind A Day at the Races. The Marx Brothers were an American comedy troupe that began their career on Broadway. The siblings Chico, Harpo, Groucho and Zeppo were born in New York City. Sons of Jewish immigrants, the family signed a deal with paramount pictures in 1928. They released a series of hit comedies Animal Crackers, Monkey Business, Horse Feathers and Duck Soup. After a few spats over money, Zeppel left the group. The three siblings then went to work for MGM. In 1937, the Marx Brothers released A Day at the Races. The story centers on Judy Standish, the owner of an insane asylum. She is deep in debt and a crooked business wants to shut the place down and build a casino. To save her business, Judy relies on her wealthiest, most eccentric patient, a hypochondriac heiress named Emily. The film was an immediate sensation. The brothers unique style forever changed the comedy industry. Their slapstick humor laid the groundwork for Looney Tunes, Monty Python and modern sitcoms. The comedy troupe disbanded in 1949. And here's something else you might not know. The individual Marx Brothers had a long career. After the Races, Groucho transitioned to television before dying in 1977 at the age of 86. Chico became a successful musician, toured with his own band. He passed in 1961. Harpo became a best selling author with his autobiography, Harpo Speaks. He died in 1964. Today, a day at the races is ranked one of the greatest comedies of all time by the American Film Institute. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly.
