Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, June 4, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. War Resolution Act, Pride Month support down, Elon's wealth up. And this White House UFC fight might not be the last. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the House passed a resolution to limit President Trump's war powers in Iran. The vote was 215 to 208 with four Republicans joining the Democrats, Congressmen Thomas Massie, Brian Fitzpatrick, Tom Barrett and Warren Davidson. The resolution was introduced by a New York Democrat, Gregory Meeks. He's the ranking member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. He said, I am thrilled that we've had the opportunity to have some members from the Republican side stand up. I'm really thrilled and proud of my Democratic colleagues because every Democrat, every single one voted for this. Democrats always stick together in this June. That is Pride Month. We did a Politics by Faith podcast episode on this the other day where Pride came from and why. It's enough already. But at its peak support in 2022, 71% of US adults believed same sex marriage should be legal. We're now at 65%. A small drop that came from Republicans. Pretty much the same with Democrats, 87% support. Independents, slight drop down to 65%. But Republicans dropped from a 55% support down to 37% support. Only 35% of Republicans say same sex relations are, quote, morally acceptable. Elon Musk's SpaceX has a fixed price of $135 per share for its upcoming IPO. SpaceX plans to sell 555.6 million shares. That would amount to a $75 billion fundraise. Musk will own 82% voting control after the offering. SpaceX would be valued at $1.77 trillion, making SpaceX the seventh biggest company in America by market cap. It would also put it above Tesla, which is valued at 1.6 trillion. This will be the biggest IPO ever, more than triple the size of Alibaba. And this would push Elon's net worth to over $1 trillion, the world's first trillionaire. The UFC fight in the White House is coming up. Stage is being built now, Trump said in a video message. People don't know that in Paris, France, The Eiffel Tower 1889, it was built, it was supposed to be taken down immediately after the World's Fair and then they said leave it up a little bit longer. And then they said, let's leave it up longer and longer and longer. Well, they never took it down. And, you know, we're building something in the front of the White House that's quite attractive to a lot of people, really. It's going to have this big UFC fight and I'm looking forward to it. And maybe we'll never take it down. There are five fights, including a lightweight title matchup between a Georgian Spanish undisputed champion and the American Justin Gaethje on June 14th. I'm Mike Slider from the podcast Politics by faith, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Message of the day on this Thursday. Most Americans don't watch 60 Minutes, but if you are over 35 years old, you've probably heard of the program. Thanks to Mike Wallace, Don Hewitt, Ed Bradley Morley Safer, the CBS News magazine is a huge profit generator to this day. However, CBS reporter Scott Pelley says new management, headed by Larry and David Ellison, are trying to murder the program. That's overstated, of course. They may be trying to rough it up a bit, but homicide is not profitable. Having worked at CBS News a long time ago, I can testify that a liberal culture took root after anchorman Walter Cronkite retired and Dan Rather took over. Bernie Goldberg wrote a whole book about that called bias. Mr. Rather did not like said book. Now reform is in the air. No longer will Leslie Stahl, for example, be allowed to defend Hunter Biden's laptop or other correspondence demean President Trump as Norah O' Donnell recently tried to do. Mr. Trump is getting the blame for the cultural adjustment at 60 minutes, and the president is certainly involved to some extent, but he is not an accessory to murder. The truth is 60 minutes allowed an anti Trump agenda to flourish. That's the real felony if honest reporting is the goal. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You, you can reach me billorilly.com, billoriley.com, name in town if you wish to opine. Mayor William Wood of Valparaiso, Indiana. Bill, on tonight's broadcast, you mentioned Mike Pence. My question is, how is Pence different than the Giants quarterback? New York Giants quarterback? Does Mike Pence not have the right to speak to whom he wants to, just as Mr. Dart has a right to vote for whom he wishes? It's a little convoluted, William. I think you'd agree with me on that. The point I was making about the former vice president is he turned us down for an interview, we think because he didn't even have enough respect to say yes or no. It was a matter of respect. And, and because I have been ultra fair to the vice President Pence, ultra fair to him, we're a little perplexed that he was so disrespectful. It's my job to report those things. Pam Clegansmith, Cincinnati, Ohio. Why doesn't Susan Collins drop out of the race in Maine? She's been there way too long. Because she's the choice of the Republican Party in Maine. Why would she drop out? I think she might beat this nut Hector. Hector is on the message board. All of this political chaos reminds me of Puerto Rico. It's about the parties, not about issues or people's needs. It's just about how we can steal people's money and bankrupt them. I'm grateful you, O'Reilly, are still doing the no spin broadcast. And you are, for me, the only reliable news and information forum. That's a little cynical, Hector, that you're dropping on me. Now, I know Puerto Rico's a lot of trouble. I know the party system does not work for many Americans. I'm aware of all that. In a moment, something you might not know. Listen up.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 37 years ago today, Chinese students marched through the streets of Beijing demanding basic human rights. The protests ended with a brutal communist crackdown against their own citizens. Here is the story of Tiananmen Square. Beginning in April 1989, 1 million Chinese gathered in the center of the capital, Beijing. Frustrated by decades of financial stagnation, they call for the resignation of party leadership, open markets and free elections. For weeks, the protesters held daily marches in in the square, a public space established by dictator Mao Zedong. Despite a media blackout, Western reporters were able to transmit live footage of the events using satellites. The crisis escalated until the early hours of June 4, when communist troops entered Tiananmen Square from every direction. The soldiers fired on civilians. Tanks plowed into protesters who refused to leave. Hours later, the space was deserted. To this day, China has never released a tally of those killed or injured. Historians place the death count, however, near 10,000. And here's something else you might not know. I, your humble correspondent, was in Beijing one year ago and can confirm the Chinese government is more oppressive than ever. Welcome to a total police state, cameras everywhere. There's never been a surveillance system like this on Earth. The Communists have firm control over 1.5 billion citizens. It's about five times more than the USA. There is less little public dissent because the law is clear. Violators will be arrested, some killed. So the streets of Beijing are clean. No litter, no homeless, no graffiti, no drugs. Much like 1989, China remains a totalitarian state where dissent can mean death. I reveal the facts about my historic trip to Beijing in my upcoming book, Confronting America, out September 15th.
