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.

Mike Cider filling it for Bill O'Reilly. Now it's time for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. RFK Jr. Has unveiled the official 74 page Maha report, make America Healthy again, and it's not good. Well, the reports sound and it's wonderful that we're finally addressing this, but the state of America's health is very bad. A lot of people don't care about this. But would you rather live in a healthy, fit country or a sick, unhealthy country? Obviously a fit, healthy one. And we're not. So we have to get to work. You know, JFK in 1960 wrote an article in Sports Illustrated called the Soft American. It's worth a read. He ties Western civilization, Western values and fitness in America altogether. Physical soundness, he said it's become a part of Western tradition, sound mind and a Sound body. And we, I would argue don't have either of those right now. And now, 65 years later, his nephew wrote this report, this MAHA report for America. American kids are ranked 47 out of 50 nations in their cardio health. There was a shuttle run test. The short of it is 15 year old American boys can't keep a 10 mile pace from for half a mile. That's very slow. 47th out of 50, 78% of kids get less than 8 hours of sleep. 50% of kids are chronically stressed. 42% of high school students experience persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness. 42% 73% of 16 to 24 year olds report feeling lonely. One in five kids take at least one prescription medication. Antidepressants were written for 2 million 10 to 19 year olds. Over 40% of kids have at least one chronic health condition. One in five kids over the age of six are obese. In the 1970s it was one in 20. Now it's one in five again. There's 74 pages of statistics like this, but you get the idea. It's very bad. The report tells the story, the true story, that tobacco companies bought a lot of food companies back in the 80s. R.J. reynolds, Philip Morris. When the government finally realized that cigarettes were bad for people's health, the cigarette companies used all their cash to buy food companies. Philip Morris acquired Kraft in 1988 for $13 billion. It was the largest non oil merger in the United States at the time. Philip Morris also acquired General Foods in 1985 and Nabisco holdings. In 2000. RJ Reynolds bought Del Monte and Hawaiian Punch. Hawaiian Punch at the time was a cocktail mixer and they decided to market it as a juice for kids. This was the first nationwide juice box. Hawaiian Punch Tobacco Company. Today it's 1983. The scientists who worked to make cigarettes addictive now worked in the food industry to make food addictive. Then Big food started lobbying for these processed foods. All the the lobbyists they had for the tobacco industry were now for the ultra processed food industry. And they started to market all this ultra processed food to kids. The tobacco companies have since sold the food companies, but they forever changed the game. This is such important stuff for every individual and our entire country. As JFK ended that Sports Illustrated essay back in 1960, he said we do not want our children to become a generation of spectators. Rather we want each of them to be a participant in the vigorous life. And as his nephew now says, the head of Health and Human Services, a healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person only has one. And 60% of our population has only one dream, that they get better. I look forward to America getting healthy again. Something you might not know coming up.

Mike Slater
Slater filling for Bill O'Reilly. Now it's time for something you might not know. I want a bit of a crusade. If you'll join me. It is our nation's 250th anniversary coming up, an incredible opportunity for people to reconnect to this nation and our history. This could launch a revival and a renaissance that we desperately need, a counter to the 1619 project that's been injected into so many young people's minds over these last few years. What an opportunity this is. So who do we put in charge of this 250th anniversary celebration? The chair of this anniversary, Rosie Rios. Rosie Rios was the treasurer under Obama from 2008 to 2016. Her signature is on all the money from those years, Rosa Guma Rios also. I don't think she likes America. I know she loves Mexico. She gave a speech in Mexico, many speeches. One of them, she said, I tell my children, based on growth projections, we are the future in the United states, Mexicans represent 65% of Latinos. And as Mexicans, there's a huge responsibility for our political climate, economic climate, social climate and culture and how it's going to look not just here in Mexico but also in the United States. And if we're deliberate enough and strategic enough and organized enough, there's nothing that we again, speaking in Mexico, there's nothing that we can't accomplish. She said, I am as much Mexican as I am American. In another speech in Mexico, she said, we're the same blood. California, where I was born and raised, was Mexico. People tend to forget that, that we're the same land. And that was Mexico. In Mexico, she spoke of my people, Mexicans, and said, my people have a pride and effort and instinct to survive that no one else has. In the world and no one has more passion than the Mexican people. Is there some anniversary in Mexico that's coming up that she can be the chair of? She also said in Mexico it's a shame there's no leaders in the US that can defend the Mexicans. She said, I think I'm going to return to Mexico. Much more here I feel at home. She can think and say whatever she wants, but is there anyone else maybe more qualified to lead the 250th anniversary of America than Rosie Rios? Is there anyone who loves this country over any other country? Maybe that person should be in charge of our birthday party. Like I didn't know we had to ask that question. But hey, do you consider any other country your home and any other people better than Americans? And do you associate with the blood of your people more than America? This is the chair of our 250th anniversary. I don't think it's too late to fire her and put in an American More coming up.
