Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, May 25, 2026. I hope you have a meaningful Memorial Day today. Here's what's happening today in America. Close to a deal known to the Secret Service. Unprecedented chemical tank and the closest finish ever. It's all coming up and Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, we might be getting closer to a peace deal with Iran. It seems like the two main parts of the deal are that Iran hands over their stockpile of enriched uranium and open up the Strait of Hormuz. We don't know the details yet, but one U.S. official said we're going to do a deal where they will open up the strait in exchange for us lifting the blockade and they will agree in principle to dispose of the highly enriched uranium. Marco Rubio reiterated the ultimate goal is that Iran can never have a nuclear weapon. The Secret Service shot and killed an armed man who opened fire at the White House on Saturday evening. The Suspect was a 21 year old from Maryland. He walked up to a checkpoint around 17th street in Pennsylvania Avenue around 6 o', clock, removed a weapon from his bag and began firing at the officers posted there. Secret Service officers returned fire, killing the suspect. He was transported to a hospital. He later died at the hospital and a bystander was struck as well. We don't know if it was hit by the by a bullet from the the guy or from the Secret Service. No Secret Service members were hurt during the incident. The president was in the White House at the time. The 21 year old was known to the Secret Service. He had a stay away order from the White House put in place back on July 11th of last year. And he was arrested just the day before this shooting, attempting to get into the White House and passed a security checkpoint. Somehow he was allowed back on the streets. Officials in Orange County, California, are trying to stop an overheated, pressured and bulging tank filled with toxic chemicals from exploding. Tens of thousands of people in the area told to evacuate. This was on Friday, officials issuing a dire warning that this chemical tank, which is located at an aerospace facility, is in crisis and will either spill or explode, The Orange county fire chief said. This is as real as it gets. This is the worst case scenario, the worst I've ever faced in my career. This is 30 miles south of Los Angeles. Newsom has issued a state of emergency. We don't know if the toxic fumes will will waft through the neighborhood or if a fireball could erupt. 50,000 people in a 10 mile radius includes schools, hospitals and nursing homes. The chief said there's no precedent for this. No one knows. A late pass in the Indy 500 like the final, tiniest, last little bit of the race. The Swede, Felix Rosenquist passed the American David Malakis. Closest finish ever in the Indy 500 0.023 seconds. That's half the distance from the previous closest Finish back in 1992. I'm Mike Slater. From the podcast Politics by faith, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Bill O'Reilly
Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day. On this Monday, we might be looking at a summer of disenchantment. I hope not. I want everybody to have a nice time this summer. We all deserve three months of calm. I don't know whether President Trump can relax a little bit. I'm not sure that calm is even possible right now in America, particularly with the midterm elections in November. But anyway, there are a lot of working class Americans who don't have much money. That's it. That's the key in our country. Money is power. Money is protection. Money can buy you a sense of security. If you do not have any money, you are powerless. And the Democratic Party is appealing to those voters. There are millions of them. Sometimes it's their own fault. They don't have any money. They're ill educated, they're lazy, they're addicted. They don't care, whatever it may be. But other times, it's just not their fault. That's why we have safety nets. I don't know which way the summer is going to go. I hope we have calm. I really do. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoreilly.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Rod Atterbury, Dawsonville, Georgia Riley how much longer can the US sustain a $40 trillion debt? As long as the US dollar is the currency of the realm, the world runs off the dollar. And as long as that is in place, we can run up the debt because people buy U.S. treasuries and dollar denominated investments. Kirk Overby, Denham Springs, Mississippi Enjoyed. We'll do it live with Andrew Cuomo. Maybe Trump needs to have a sit down with the governor. Seems to support Trump on some issues you outlined. I agree the Iran thing cannot keep dragging on. K. Rhinebeck, New York I think it's K. Melly, thank you for the Cuomo interview. I appreciate the balance. Tough questions without coming off as an attack. His answer to question about his policy putting COVID patients into nursing home was a dodge. Rosalie Pagilia, Howard Beach, New York I'm really enjoying the new podcast. That's long form. I hate that word podcast. But okay, we'll do it live. Loved all of them. So interesting. Well, I'm glad you're watching them all. Very nice of you to do that. Okay, we want you to get the 250 hats. We just got a new shipment in as I just tweeted over the weekend. So you want this for your 4th of July displays and have a good summer. Beautiful hat. You'll love it. And good cause, right? America in a moment, something you might not know.

The O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 49 years ago today, a strange film was released in 32 theaters across the USA. Tickets for the debut cost $2. All viewers were handed a commemorative pin that said may the force be with you. Star wars had arrived. Here is the story in high school future Filmmaker George Lucas wanted to become a race car driver, but a near fatal accident changed his mind. He then tried to join the Air Force, but was rejected for too many speeding tickets. So Lucas decided to get into show business. Attended classes at the University of Southern California, majoring in cinematography. Fellow students included Godfather creator Francis Ford Coppola and Steven Spielberg. With two small films under his belt, Lucas began pitching what he described as a, quote, space opera. United Artists didn't want it, nor did Universal Studios, but Fox gave it the green light. When George Lucas showed the finished project to his friends, they found the plot impossible to understand. It was Spielberg who suggested the opening credits that actually told the audience what the heck was going on. Released on March 25, 1977, Star Wars, a film made for about $10 million, would go on to earn more than 1 billion at the box office. Since its release, there have been 12 more movies, six TV shows, dozens of books, comics, video games. In total, the Star wars franchise is now valued at $52 billion. And here's something else you might not know. George Lucas is one of the most successful entertainers in history, but he's never won a major award, no Oscar, Golden Globe or EMMY. Today, the 82 year old is enjoying retirement at his Skywalker ranch, a massive 5,000 acre estate near San Francisco. Back in a moment.
