Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Big economic growth, Landry going hard. Trump tells Republicans don't be stupid and live loses money. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the economy grew at an annualized rate of 2% for the first quarter. That's up from 0.5% growth the previous quarter. But the biggest number is non residential fixed investment that jumped at a 10.4% rate, the fastest pace in nearly three years. And this increase was concentrated in the categories that are most tied to future productivity. So equipment and intellectual property. Equipment investment rose at 17.2% while investment in intellectual property, including software, climbed 13%. After the 6 to 3 ruling from the Supreme Court that gerrymandering congressional districts for racial reasons and creating these black majority districts is unconstitutional. Louisiana is in a bit of a time crunch because early voting for their congressional primaries starts Saturday. So how can they redraw the lines in two days? Well, the governor says they will be delaying the House primaries to give lawmakers time to redraw the maps. Republicans think they'll pass all legal issues because the Supreme Court ruled that the current lines are unconstitutional. They have no choice but to redraw the lines. And this is just the beginning. Lawmakers in Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, among others, calling to redraw their lines before the midterm election. Nice going, Louisiana. And also congratulations to Florida for approving their new maps. They did it in just two days, picking up four Republican seats. Trump calling on Senate Republicans to end the filibuster, he said. Don't be stupid, he wrote in a Truth Social post. How much abuse can the Republican Senate take from the radical left lunatics in the form of Democratic senators before they blow up the filibuster and approve things at a record clip, including the Save America act. That would be unthinkable without the filibuster termination. The Dems will do it on the first hour of their first day. Do not be stupid poll found that 61% of Democrats, 90% of Republicans, 73% of independents support proof of citizenship to vote. Also found that 80% of Democrats, Republicans and Independents believe voting should be exclusive to US Citizens. In sports news, LIV Golf will lose their investment from Saudi Arabia. Liv Golf first launched in 2022 to rival the PGA Tour and they lured away some of the biggest stars at the time. But unclear if they'll be able to continue unless they have other investors. Also, FIFA says Iran will play in the World Cup. The FIFA president said, of course Iran will play in the United States. And the reason for that is very simple, dear friends. It's because we have to unite. It was Iran's sports minister who said Iran would not participate. I'm Mike Snider from Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next.
