Key Segments & Discussion Points

1. National News Recap (with Mike Slater)

[00:40–03:37]

Dallas ICE Facility Shooting

• A left-wing extremist opened fire on a Dallas ICE field office from a rooftop, killing one detainee and wounding two—before taking his own life.
• Law enforcement described the shooting as politically motivated, targeting border enforcement personnel.
• The FBI is investigating this as targeted violence; "ICE says they've seen 1000% increase in assaults against them."
• Trump commented:
  • “This is despicable. The brave men and women of ICE are just trying to do their jobs and remove the worst of the worst criminals out of our country. But they're facing an unprecedented increase in threats, violence and attacks by deranged radical leftists.” ([02:10])

Possible Comey Indictment

• U.S. attorney for Virginia may seek indictment of ex-FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress.
• Trump weighed in at a weekend rally:
  • “I just want people to act as have to act and we have to act fast...if they're not guilty, that's fine. If they are guilty, they should be charged.” ([02:40])

Tylenol Advisory for Pregnant Women

• HHS recommends caution using Tylenol during pregnancy due to possible links to autism/ADHD; references significant studies from Harvard, UMass Lowell, UCLA, and Mount Sinai.
• Tylenol’s social media posts from 2017 and 2019 indicate they don't recommend use in pregnancy due to lack of testing.
• Some pregnant women, exhibiting “full-blown TDS,” reportedly take Tylenol in defiance of the current administration.

NYC Mayoral Race

2. O’Reilly’s Message of the Day: The Walt Disney Company

[04:14–08:30]

Disney’s Shift

• O’Reilly critiques Disney’s move away from traditional values, noting dominance of “ardent leftists” in its media arms (mentions Jimmy Kimmel, The View, George Stephanopoulos).
• “Try to get a show greenlighted if you're a conservative. Not going to happen.”
• No visible conservative voices within Disney’s programming; theme park prices “effectively denies poor families access”—contradicts Disney’s traditional family-friendly image.
• "Maybe ideology only goes so far. When money is concerned, it's all about leadership."
• Suggests the company’s roots in wholesome, all-American entertainment are eroding, previewing possible changes ahead.
• Quote:
  • “Disney was built on providing wholesome entertainment to traditional Americans. What happened? I don't know. But I won't be surprised if big changes descend on Mickey and the crew very soon.” ([07:50])

• On the topic of Charlie Kirk’s assassination:
  • O’Reilly asserts: “Mr. Kirk was a traditional Christian conservative. The progressive left hates that.” ([09:00])
