Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Peace deal moving forward, the Nobel snub, Leticia indicted and a counter super bowl halftime show. That's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Israel has agreed to phase one of Trump's peace plan. The IDF has finished their 24 hours to pull back to the agreed line inside Gaza, retaining control of about 53% of the territory until phase two begins. After the 24 hour period, Hamas will have 72 hours to release all remaining hostages, 20 alive and 28 deceased, meaning that all are expected to be freed by Tuesday. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Netanyahu yesterday. The United States plans to have 200 troops already in the Middle east to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal. That will not be in Gaza. They'll be in Israel. The prime minister of Israel wrote on Twitter. President Trump, no gold medal, lucrative prize or prestigious recognition will ever truly do justice or reward you adequately for the lives you have saved. In Judaism, the proverb goes, he who saved a single soul, it is as if he saved an entire world. You, Mr. President, have saved scores of worlds. Today, the whole nation of Israel says thank you. That being said, Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, snubbed by this committee in Norway made up of five members appointed by the Norwegian Parliament. They gave it instead to the Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, quote, for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela. She's been in hiding since August of last year for fear of arrest from the Maduro regime. Oh, I so would have loved to be in that committee room listening to these progressives talk about how we can't possibly give the Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump. A grand jury indicted New York Attorney General Leticia James on charges of fraud. This is after a mortgage fraud investigation. She says that an error was made when filling out a form related to a home purchase. Story is she lied about another home being her primary residence in order to get a better bank loan. And of course, it was this attorney general of New York who got Trump on felony charges for inflating the value of his assets to get a better bank loan. She ran for office on the slogan I will get Trump. And when she won on election night, she said, we here in New York, and I in particular, we're not scared of you. And promised to shine a bright light into every corner of his real estate dealings and every dealing, demanding truthfulness at every turn. Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA has announced an alternate halftime show for the upcoming Super Bowl. Bad Bunny is the official performer of the Super Bowl. His songs are disgusting. Turning Point said the event will celebrate faith, family and freedom. It'll be on February 8th. Event details and performers still to be announced. I'm Mike Slater. From Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the day. So working together is out. Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill have their orders and cooperation isn't in the mix. You might think both parties would be interested in reopening the government. Not very. There's blame everywhere. The Dems despise Trump so everything he does is wrong. No compromise. The GOP believes the radical left will destroy any chance of a Democrat resurgence in the midterms next year. So why get in the way of that? Just continue to antagonize the lefties so they act stupid. Meanwhile, we the people are waiting for food prices to come down and would like to see some problem solving legislation like a new immigration law. The one on the books is from 1952, for crying out loud. But that's not going to happen anytime soon. Instead, we'll get more Hitler Epstein. Gotcha getcha. Hey, why not shut that nonsense down? Your job, senators and congresspeople, is to solve some problems. Stop with this intramural immaturity. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, bill@billoriley.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine, let's go to the mail. We got Kurt on the message board. If you are a premium or concierge member to billorilly.com you good. We have a big message board and everything I do say right. You could comment and have debate your peers and lots of fun. Another reason to become a premium concierge member, Kurt says you can identify evil when it destroys women and children. Maybe that is why Israel is not sitting at the peace table with Hamas, because you simply cannot bargain with evil. But they are sitting at the peace table with with Hamas in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. Okay, Israel wants to get the hostages out of there and let's pray they do. Charles, concierge member thank you, Charles. Your analysis of the immigration process crisis is first rate. President Biden is responsible not only for the immense cost to the house and feed foreign nationals, but also the political discord caused by China to deport them. Biden caused immense harm to our country, as he did. Yes, he did. No doubt about it. Second worst president ever. And then I have a letter. Let me just read this other letter. It's about Biden. Let's see if I have it here. Yes, this is Larry Holt, missing Viejo, California. In your confronting book, you rape Biden's second worst president with the revelation that his DOJ was targeting nine Republican legislatures. Are you now willing to reconsider a name Biden the worst president? No, because it doesn't come close all of that to what James Buchanan did in the run up to the Civil War. Buchanan was a coward. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 232 years ago, a founding father, statesman, merchant, a lead smuggler, died at his home in Boston. His signature is the most famous in the world. Here is the story of John Hancock. Born 1737 in Braintree, Massachusetts, young Hancock was a childhood friend of John Adams. After his father's death, the boy was dispatched to live with his wealthy uncle. An importer of rum and whale oil, John attended Harvard, then joined the family business. After the English Parliament imposed high taxes on the colonies, Hancock led a boycott of English goods. In retaliation, British officials accused the merchant of smuggling illegal products into Boston. His fleet of ships were confiscated by the Crown. Hancock was soon elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, then as a delegate to the continental Congress. In 1775, the British army issued orders to arrest Hancock and Samuel Adams. The two were worn by Paul Revere during his famous midnight ride and evaded capture. John Hancock then became the president of of the Continental Congress. One year later, Hancock was one of the first men assigned the Declaration of Independence. During the war, he served as a major general in the Massachusetts militia. After the conflict was over, he was elected governor of Massachusetts. In 1788, Hancock ran for president, but lost to George Washington. With his health failing, he retired to Boston. There he died on October 8, 1793, at the age of 56. Cause of death, heart disease, gout, arthritis, and here's something else you might not know. The legacy of John Hancock lives on. Today, his name is honored by six Navy ships, a life insurance company, 20 cities in the USA, 35 counties, and the John Hancock Tower, the tallest building in Boston. Back in a moment.
