Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, June 15, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Iran deal, McConnell in the hospital, Swiss referendum fails and a World cup victory. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the president wrote on Saturday, Barack Hussein Obama's deal with Iran was an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a nuclear weapon, which Iran would have had six years ago and would have used long before now. My agreement with Iran is the exact opposite, a wall to no nuclear weapon. In fact, they no longer want a nuclear weapon, nor will they have one, either through purchase, development or any other form of procurement after it's signed. The Strait of Hormuz is open to all, as this Iran deal is here. Israeli military officials said a Hezbollah commander was killed in Lebanon. The IDF said his elimination continues. Another significant blow to Hezbollah's senior chain of command by eliminating one of the most prominent operatives responsible for terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians, IDF soldiers and American service members. Meanwhile, gas prices have fallen towards $4 a gallon, 410 to be exact, average nationwide. That's a decline of 40 cents over just the last month. Could be below $4 a gallon in just the next few days. Senator Mitch McConnell has been admitted to a hospital yesterday. No word yet on exactly what the issue is, but it's been a bunch of medical issues lately. He's 84 years old. His term ends in January. In other Senate news, the SAFE Act. It's on life support. Someone wrote on Twitter. We've got 50 votes as of last week. All we need is to force the Democrats to hold a talking filibuster. John Cornyn, the senator from Texas who lost his party's primary just a couple weeks ago to Ken Paxton. He wrote back, not gonna happen. And everyone except the naive or misinformed knows it.

It's Cornyn showing his true colors. In other Cornyn news, Scott Pressler, a major Republican get out the vote guy. He said he saw John Cornyn at the airport and encouraged him to pass the SAVE Act. And Cornyn wrote back to that grifter. A referendum in Switzerland that would have capped the population of 10 million people failed to pass. If the referendum passed, it would have cut the number of asylum seekers or family members of migrants accepted into the country. There are currently 9.1 million people living in Switzerland, with over 80,000 added every year. About 25% of the population are foreign nationals. World Cup News Incredible win from America over Paraguay. Paraguay beat Brazil and Argentina leading into the tournament, and they have one of the best defenses in the world. We scored four goals against them. That's the most we've ever scored in a World cup game. It's only our 10th World cup win ever. Let's get fired up for their next game against Australia this Friday in Seattle at 3 o' clock Eastern. My Politics by Faith podcast episode today is all about the sports references in the Bible.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. On this Monday, a new survey from Quinnipiac College in Connecticut says about 23% of Americans are proud of their heritage. That's a so so number. It's not catastrophic. And you know, we have a lot of loons in our society. We have a lot of people who are alienated. We have socialists, we have communists, we have fascists, we have criminals. So 23% not really liking their American status isn't crazy. Most of those people, however, are between the ages of 18 and 24. Now, I went through the Vietnam War situation. I saw the protests. Many of those that were so anti government during the Vietnam War are now conservatives because as you get older, you see the world differently.

Not all.

I still have friends that are hippies at heart and they don't like the government or whatever it may be. But most Americans kind of graduate in their thinking. And I'm not very worried about this poll. I do believe you should love your country. If you read my books, if you know the history, you will love it because we are a noble Nation. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Why do people who are wealthy due to capitalism hate capitalism and give tons of money to progressives, communists and others who don't like America? Each individual, I can't generalize on it, but they have theirs, Cheryl. They have theirs, not given theirs up. Larry Pasarnek, Pflugerville, Texas. The current environment feels like reverse McCarthyism to me. Communists are blacklisting traditionalists. Yeah, absolutely. Just what happened in the McCarthy era. Ed DeLauder, North Belmore, N.Y. this past weekend I went to my grandchild's lacrosse tournament and I wore my USA 250 hat. Whoa. I received numerous compliments. Told him I purchased it from Bill O'Reilly. Great hat. Wear it all the time. It is best hat and I hope your granddaughter won. Robin Smith, My husband, Bobby, just finished reading your book Killing the Legends. Wanted you to know it was amazing. The best book he ever read. All of the Killing books are available on billorilly.com and we don't put them out in paperback anymore because they still sell in hardcover. Okay. I mentioned the hats, the 250Americans. All you got to do is go to billorilly.com we are going to sell out of these. So if you want them, you got to get them. Where did they not be a doofus? D O O F U S Doofus.

Are you one of those media strategy people clicking through slides, scrolling spreadsheets? Yes. Good. This is for you because on Spotify, there's an audience that's different, locked in, loyal, invested. They're called fans. Fans don't just listen to music. They feel seen by it like it belongs to them. So when your brand shows up on Spotify, that's who you're talking to. And you're right next to artists like me, Lizzo. So are you ready to talk to fans? Spotify advertising, you're among Fans.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know 811 years ago today, one of the most important documents in history was signed by the King of England. The charter established a set of laws that every British person, including the monarch, were forced to follow. Here is the story of the Magna Carta. In the early 13th century, King John was despised by his subjects for imposing high taxes, draconian punishments and widespread imprisonment. Enraged, a group of powerful barons marched to London. They carried with them a document called the Magna Carta, Latin for the Great Charter. The proposal outlined so called fundamental legal rights. No man could be arrested or stripped of his property without a trial. Churches were free from royal interference. High taxes could only be approved through a council of archbishops and other leaders. Finally, the feudal lords could seize the king's assets if he violated the rules established in the charter. Fearing an open rebellion, King John begrudgingly signed the document on June 15, 1215. For the first time, members of the monarchy were no longer above the law. Shortly after its enactment, the Magna Carta was annulled, then rewritten, eventually instated with even more protections for the commoners. And here's something else you might not know. The Great Charter is directly linked with the U.S. constitution. When drafting the document, James Madison translated several medieval protections into our Bill of Rights. Examples include the Fifth Amendment, every citizen's right to due process, the Sixth Amendment, the right to a speedy trial, and the Eighth Amendment, the ban of excessive bail or fines for those accused or convicted of a crime.
