Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, June 5, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. One big beautiful bill. Latest a new travel ban, phone call with Putin and visa overstay crackdown. That's all coming up. Then. Bill will be here with your message of the day. But first, more drama over the big beautiful bill. Over in the Senate, it's getting deeper. Elon wrote, call your senator, call your congressman. Bankrupting America is not okay. Kill the bill. There are more Republican senators agreeing with Elon, saying they will vote against this bill as it currently is written. This is good. Hopefully you can get better. Speaker Mike Johnson in the House said, though it is not wise to kill the bill and start the process over from scratch. Perhaps worth noting that the big beautiful bill will end multiple tax credits for electric vehicles, a $7,500 federal tax credit for new EVs and a $4,000 tax credit for used electric vehicles. The president issued a proclamation banning travel to America from 12 countries. Full restrictions on entry into the United States from nationals of Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. Trump also imposed a partial restriction on entry from nationals of Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. The president said in an address, as president, I must act to protect the national security and national interest of the United States and its people. Trump also wrote on Truth Social I just finished speaking by telephone with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. The call lasted approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes by Ukraine and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace. President Putin did say and very strongly that he will have to respond to the recent attacks on the airfields. The president said that they did agree that Iran should not have, cannot have nuclear weapons. Trump said, it is my opinion that Iran has been slow walking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time. We've been reporting on the Boulder, Colorado terrorist who tried to kill a group of Jews with Molotov cocktails. He was here on a visa. Overstay. In response to this, Department of Homeland Security has pledged a further crackdown on foreign nationals who have also overstayed their visas. DHS has estimated that about half of the 11 to 22 million illegal aliens who are in the United States have arrived illegally on a visa but overstayed it. That's hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals every year overstaying their visas. I'm Mike Slater, host a podcast called Politics by Faith. The great Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.
