Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, June 22, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Vance in Switzerland, prime minister on the outs, big Trump win in Colombia and a huge win for America. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the back and forth continues with Iran. Their chief negotiator said the country will not give up its right to enrich uranium. Trump said, quote, he better watch his mouth. You better shape up or we're going to take over the rest of the country. This Iranian guy said they will close the straight. And Trump said, you close it and you won't have a country. The president said we may have to take over the straight if we have to. If they don't make a deal, we will collect holes. Then Iran said we don't count on the threats of the Americans. The they better be careful with their statements. Our armed forces are ready to respond in another way. And whatever they say, we are the ones who will act. Meanwhile, while all this is going on, J.D. vance is in Switzerland to talk about peace negotiations. And Israel said it will not withdraw from its security zone in Lebanon. The IDF said Hezbollah fired 50 rockets this weekend. The prime minister of England might be on the outs. Keir Starmer, apparently his support is way down. As one labor member of Parliament put it down to a handful of friends and family. He said there's no one left. Literally, people whose relatives work in number 10 or people who are long term personal friends are pretty much the only ones left. Before any announcement was made, the president wrote on Truth Social, keir Starmer will resign as prime minister of the United Kingdom. So the president scooped everybody. He said the prime minister failed badly on immigration and energy policy. Quote, I wish him well. Labor lost by a lot in England's most recent elections. A right wing lawyer with no prior political experience, a Trump backed candidate appears to be the next president of Columbia. He's actually a dual citizen of Colombia. In America he ran on a tough on crime platform. He promised to build 10 megaprisons in his country inspired by the policies of the President of El Salvador, another great ally of America. And this President Trump endorsed this candidate in Colombia earlier in the month. Worth noting that since the President came in and defunded usaid, the far right Trump aligned candidate has won elections in Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, Costa Rica and now Colombia. Team USA in the World cup on Friday beat Australia 2 to nothing. Back to back victories clinching the group stage. There's still another game to go. They'll move on to the round of 32 no matter what happens there. That round of 32, the beginning of the knockout stage, that that game is July 1st in San Francisco. But there's one more chance to watch Team USA in action. This game that doesn't really matter. We'll see how many of our top players start that game is this Thursday at 9:00 Eastern. I'm Mike Slater. From the podcast Politics by faith, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Do you hear about England trying to ban social media for any kid 16 or under? It's going to become law. And the way it works is not they're going to break into the kid's bedroom or whatever and grab the telephone, but they're going to monitor TikTok and X and all of these social media companies to see who's consuming their product. And apparently they have the technology, they being the British government, to know if underage kids, again, 16 or under, are using social media. And if they do, they're going to fine the companies. Kids get off free. Now that'll chill freedom of expression. It could not happen in the United States. Okay. First Amendment get trotted out. The courts would side on the free speech argument, but not in Great Britain. They have a different system. And so there's only one other country in the world doing this, Australia, which is more on the British system than the American system. And it seems to be working that the big social media companies are reporting or cutting off or whatever. They do the social media for the teenagers. Is this a good thing? I think it is for the kids, but not for freedom of expression. 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. Phil Khosler, Everett, Washington. I hear you saying that America is not supporting, supporting President Trump because the way the conflict with Iran is unfolding, as for myself and the people I know, we are willing to pay the price of high gases and food to get rid of that terror machine. Okay, Phil, you're part of the 31% that are willing to do that. Look, my analysis is fact based. That's what people still don't understand. No emotion involved with this. Most Americans do not like the Iran situation. But now if it comes out the way Trump wants it to come out, that's going to spin fast. Pete Dembeck, Middle Island, New York. Similar to the prescription pricing, why can't the US Government demand American based oil companies extract their oil from inside the United States borders? Will they do? Where do you think we're getting our oil? We extract it from our borders. We have a pipeline in Canada. The problem is when we have the oil and it's ready to go, some of it is sold overseas to foreign countries. That's the problem. It's very hard for a president to interfere with private commerce. Okay, so you can say, and I would, hey, you guys better knock it off and keep the oil here or something bad might happen to you. I would do that in a moment. Something you might not know.

you something you might not know. 415 years ago today, a mutiny took place aboard a British vessel called the Discovery. Nine men were dispatched into the icy waters of northern Canada. One of them was the most important English explorer in history. Here is the story behind the disappearance of Henry Hudson. The Englishman launched his first journey to North America in 1609. The captain explored vast sections of the continent, including the Chesapeake Bay, Delaware, Virginia. He was the first European to reach the area that would become New York City. Henry believed the waterway running along the west coast of Manhattan, later named the Hudson river, would lead him to the Pacific Ocean, China, and eventually a pathway back to Europe. Henry was wrong. So he reversed course and returned to England before launching another three expeditions to find a western route to Asia. But things did not end well. Henry Hudson's last voyage departed London, April 1610. The cruise sailed beyond Greenland, then northern Canada. After three months, the discovery was trapped by blizzards. The group went ashore to wait out the winter. Lacking food or supplies, the seamen slowly starved to death. On June 22, 1611, the crew turned against the 46 year old Captain Hutz and there was a mutiny. They forced Henry into a lifeboat along with his teenage son and seven loyalists. The group was then cast into the sea, never seen again. Although huss and vanished in the Arctic, his discoveries gave England its claim to large sections of the New World. And here's something else you might not know. Henry Hudson's legacy lives on three of the most noteworthy bodies of water in North America. The Hudson River, Hudson Strait, Hudson Bay are obviously all named in his honor. Back in a moment.
