Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, June 17, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Election day in the South, FBI stops attack, Antifa members arrested and Iran announcement in France. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, there were some elections in Georgia and Alabama yesterday, most notably, let's start with the race for Senate. So this is the Georgia primary runoff election to go against the incumbent Democrat Ossoff for U.S. senator. Congressman Mike Collins beat out former football coach Derek Dooley. Collins was the late Trump endorsement in the governor's Republican runoff for Georgia. Rick Jackson beat out Burt Jones in a closer race. And Jackson will face off against the former mayor of Atlanta, Keisha Lance Bottoms in Alabama. This is for the primary runoff for Senate to replace Tuberville, who is running for governor of Alabama. Barry Moore beat out Jared Hudson, the former Navy seal. Congressman Barry Moore was endorsed by Trump as well. The FBI said it stopped a planned attack on the UFC event at the White House on Sunday night. They have taken five people into custody. The plot involved using drones loaded with explosives to attack the north side of the White House with the hopes that people would exit to the other side where they were going to have snipers ready to open fire on fleeing politicians and others. These five have been charged with conspiracy to commit murder. Authorities discovered the plot when the mother of one of the suspects, a 19 year old, called local police in Ohio to report that her son had made several weapons purchases and was interacting with concerning people online. Worth noting that Andrew Giuliani, who's the head of the White House task force for the World cup, said that all 78 World cup matches in America have counter drone technology which jams a drone up if it comes near the stadium. And the FBI in Miami and Atlanta have already seized 35 recreational drones near World cup venues. The federal government has indicted 15 members of Antifa for conspiracy to impede or injure federal officers. The U.S. attorney said these defendants have not been charged for what they said, but for what they did. They all joined an agreement, a conspiracy to interfere with lawful immigration enforcement operations. The conspiracy was not to interfere by their voice, but to do it by force. That is a crime. It will not be tolerated in the United States. President Trump told reporters that the Iran deal will bring a, quote, lot of success to the world and that the Strait of Hormuz will be fully opened and said the process of demining is underway. This is at the G7 conference in France. The nations are France, America, UK, Germany, Japan, Italy and Canada. Oil right now is below $80 and the average price of a gallon is just over $4.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day on this Wednesday, it took CNN just minutes to trash the Iran deal after President Trump's announcement over the weekend. Reporter Nick Robertson, a foreign policy guy, immediately ran down his list as to why the deal was flawed. Robertson had nothing new and no pertinent information. Same old thing. Trump's policies are bad no matter what. CNN will soon have new management and like cbs, there will be a purge. Hating Trump is not good journalism. Expect resignations at cnn. Also, like cbs, the left will jump up and down with indignation. The progressive movement is losing its stronghold on TV news and the progressives don't like that one bit. The whole thing started with the Iraq war and then supersized with Barack Obama. Hillary Clinton never really had a chance against the man who the liberal media portrayed as Moses. Yes, there is hyper partisanship on the right, but nothing like the progressive stance of the corporate media. The good news? It will soon be over. 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. Marty Concierge Remember, Marty gets our help if he gets into trouble, we are on his team. You're on. Peace deal will only work if there is actual verification. I agree with that entirely. Got to have the inspectors go in and on a regular basis. Have to. Tanya Bill, you are chiding people for not celebrating the peace deal. No, I'm not. I didn't shy anybody. Okay, should we find out what's in the deal before we start celebrating? Number one, I wouldn't celebrate anyway. And number two, yeah, we should find out what's in the deal. And I am confident we will by the end of this week. Chiding Steven CONCIERGE MEMBER the Iran deal is a disaster and the tolls on ship, it appears it's fine with Trump. What tolls? What tolls? Stephen, What? Come on. I mean, where are you getting this stuff? I know where you're getting it. You have to see it. David Concierge MEMBER Bill Any person who can obtain a California driver's license also issued a voter registration card in California. I'm saying for years we have millions of illegals voting out here. Okay, I'd like to see an investigation into that. I don't think we'll ever get one. Anthony Basaccio, Wappinger's Falls, New York. What's an example of how food companies prevent the government from putting warnings on labels? Every single point product that is laden with sugar, Anthony, Everyone. Okay. They have food associations, big time lobbying groups. They don't want labels. In a moment, something you might not know.

The O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 141 years ago today, the Statue of Liberty arrived in New York Harbor. Today the monument remains a symbol of freedom for people all over the world. Here is the story behind Lady Liberty. The idea began in 1865 when a French nobleman conceived the project to mark the end of American Civil War and the abolition of slavery. Sculptor Frederick Bartoli designed the statue, a massive torch represented enlightenment in progress. The tablets were inscribed with Roman numerals for July 4, 1776. Broken shackles at her feet symbolized emancipation and the crown featured seven points representing the seven continents Earth. Constructed in France, the statue was dismantled into three hundred and fifty pieces, then shipped across the ocean. Lady Liberty arrived in New York on June 17, 1885. It took workers four months to reassemble the monument. The statue was officially dedicated by President grover Cleveland in October 1886. Today, the statue of Liberty is associated with immigration, but that hasn't always been the case. The original concept symbolized friendly relationships between the people of the United States and France, each helping the other's democratic system. That all changed in 1903, when a bronze plaque was added to the pedestal featuring a poem called the New Colossus by Emma Lazarus. The poem states, give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. And here's something else you might not know. Statue of Liberty wasn't always green. Constructed from copper and wood, she was originally a shiny brown color, same as a penny. Took 20 years of sun, ocean, air and rain to become the unique color it is today. Back in a moment.
