Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Another Biden controversy grows. AOC targets ice. A majority of voters view both parties unfavorably. And a new study reveals how badly Americans are addicted to smartphones. It's all coming up. Then. I will be back with your message of the day. But first, a nonprofit organization now claims that Joe Biden was seemingly unaware of multiple presidential orders, including key decisions on climate change. The pro energy group Power the Future is arguing that several policies were implemented using the presidential auto pen. An auto pen is a device that physically holds a pen and is programmed to replicate a person's signature. The Justice Department determined 20 years ago that the president is permitted to use an auto pen to sign bills into law. The question, of course, is how many of these bills were signed without Joe Biden's knowledge and who was in charge of that auto pen? Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez again calling for the abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency. The New York congresswoman wrote in an email, I, I believe that ICE, an agency that was just formed in 2003 during the Patriot act era, is a rogue agency that should not exist. By the way, that's technically true. But prior to ice, there was just a different federal agency that was in charge of deporting people. It's called the Immigration Naturalization Service, ins and they just did the same thing. They just consolidated that with a couple other things into one system. Anyway, the White House responded, the brave men and women of ICE get dangerous criminal illegal immigrants off our streets and protect American citizens. Why does AOC want to stop that? A new poll from Gallup showing a majority of voters hold a negative view of both political parties. 70% disapprove of Democrats. That figure falls to 50% for Republicans. Historically, Americans have been more positive towards the Democratic party than the GOP. Since 2009, the average favorable rating for liberal politicians has been 45% compared to 40% for conservatives. Now it's 70% disapproval for Democrats. Coming up in the final segment here, we'll talk about one aspect of the one big beautiful bill. We'll see how this goes. And if the Republicans want to become an even more popular party, new study published by FOX News shows the typical American checks their smartphones 96 times a day. That's on average once every 10 minutes. It's even higher for teens and young adults. The poll also shows 80% sleep with our devices less than 2ft from our heads. One day we'll find out that's not a very smart idea. The Maha report that was just released by Health and Human Services says that young kids spend nine hours a day on their phones. I'm Mike Slater. I have one more O'Reilly update for you before Bill comes back. That's next.
