Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. RFK Jr. Turns the tables. Alligator Alcatraz still open, big tech dinner and no tax on tips recipients. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Congress is back from vacation, so there's a hearing with RFK Jr. Head of health and Human services. In one noteworthy moment, the senator from Oregon, Wyden, said, I hope you tell the American people how many preventable child deaths are an acceptable sacrifice for enacting an agenda that I think is fundamentally cruel and defies common sense. RFK Jr responded. Senator, you've sat in that chair for 25 years while chronic disease in our children went up 76% and you said nothing. Today, for the first time in 20 years, we've learned that infant mortality increased in our country. And it isn't because I came in here. It's because of what happened in the Biden administration, which we're going to end. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Alligator Alcatraz can stay open. The governor of Florida, Ron DeSantis, said the media was giddy that somehow Alligator Alcatraz was shutting down. And we told him it wasn't true. There have been illegal aliens continuing to be there and being removed and returned to their home country. But they ran with the narrative because some leftist judge ruled implausibly that somehow Florida wasn't allowed to use our own property to help the federal government in this important mission. The reason it was maybe being shut down is because environmental groups and an Indian tribe argued that the project threatened sensitive wetlands and bypassed federal environmental impact studies. Trump had a big dinner last night with the tech titans, Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook of Apple, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, OpenAI founder Sam Altman, along with the founders of Google, Oracle, the CEO of Blue Origin Micron technology, Tibco Scale AI. Also Jared Isaacman, CEO of Shift4, he was going to be the head of NASA, and also David Sachs, the venture capitalist who is the White House czar on AI and cryptocurrency. Elon will not be there, but someone from his team will be there in his stead. Part of the one big beautiful bill included of course, no tax on tips. Well, within 90 days of the bill passing, the Treasury Department had to make a list of the jobs that will be included in this no tax on tips, only jobs that have historically been tipped professions. So you know, everyone just can't start getting paid in tips all of a sudden. The deduction is up to $25,000 a year. There's 68 jobs. I don't have time to list them all, but the list includes everyone who works in the food industry, bartenders, waitstaff, etc. People in entertainment, ushers, lobby attendants, entertainers, performers. Also plumbers and electricians, locksmiths, masseuses, people in hair and tailors and golf caddies and parking attendants, 68 jobs in total. I'm Mike Slider. Bill O'Reilly, an excellent tipper with your message of the day. Next.

National Guard and federal agents could be on their way to Chicago this week because that city remains a violent mess. Illinois authorities say there is no need for the feds that the murder rate is coming down. And that's true. However, let's consider the last year, 2024, 578 human beings were killed in Chicago, 423 of them African American black. Drug gangs are primarily responsible for the slaughter, which mostly takes place in poor areas where citizens have little protection like Mexico. If they inform on or testify against gang members, they become targets. So most homicides go unpunished. Based upon the success of the Washington, D.C. federal law enforcement presence. President Trump seems to duplicate that in Chicago. But Illinois Governor Pritzker and Windy City Mayor Johnson both oppose added federal protections. Pritzker is a machine politician who savors ideological governance no problem solving for jb Nope. It's all left wing gibberish. Johnson is simply horrendous. He is worse than the previous mayor, Lori Lightfoot. Neither of those men are going to solve the violent crime problem in Chicago. So federal intrusion is needed. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me bill@billoriley.com bill@billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now, let's go to the mail. We got Norman, concierge member. Norman gets a free copy of Confronting Evil out in one week. If he signs, if he reads up or whatever, you sign up for membership, free copy. Norman says the State of the Union were more stable, President Trump wouldn't have to be like Alexander Hamilton. Parts of the USA are a mess. Innocent people are being victimized. Trump is a Superman. Okay, so I wrote a column that said Donald Trump is Alexander Hamilton and whereupon all the Broadway people that put on the play Hamilton had heart attacks. It's exactly the same. You can punch that up on billoriley.com Peter Concierge. Remember, we need to be very careful of centralized power. In the wrong hands, it becomes a tool for tyranny. Bill McDaniel, Arlington, Texas. Bill, I disagree with your viewpoint on the House Ethics Committee. If the chairman let it out who they were looking or investigating, the media go crazy and blow it out of proportion. It's best to keep something secret. No, we the people have a right to know who's being looked at. I understand the media corrupt as they come. But I'm a private citizen and I get hammered every time anybody floats a rumor around me. So you're supposed to give these people into Congress more protection. Come on. John Pellegrino, point Pleasant Borough, N.J. closing the border is good. Fighting crime is good. My wallet, however, is no better off today than under Biden. You got to give it a little time, I would think there, John. Right. Economics. Still a little time to unfold. But I'll tell you that that is the big issue for the midterms. But I think you might be a little impatient here. In a moment. Something you might not know.

CementMobile.com now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. It is officially back to school time in America as millions of students are returning to classrooms across the usa. Here's some background of our nation's public school education system, which is not good. The American school year typically begins in September. That tradition dates back to the 19th century when rural children helped their families reap the autumn harvest. The calendar was codified by Congress in 1945. After World War II, the American Education platform spread to Canada, Italy, Spain, Greece, Ireland, the U.K. germany and France. Today, more than 50 million children in the USA attend a public school. 5 million others private schools. 2 million are homeschooled. However, many countries around the world differ from us. In Japan, the school year starts in April. Children in the land of the rising sun get just five weeks of summer vacation. South Korea and China have the shortest annual breaks. Kids there attend class for 11 months of the year. In the Southern Hemisphere, folks enjoy vacation in December and January. Shockingly, there are some countries that have no public education at all. Somalia offers only Islamic instruction. Afghanistan bans all girls from schools. Yemen leave schooling to families. And here's something else you might not know. While Americans spend more money on education than any other nation, the results are dismal. The average student costs US taxpayers $16,000 a year to educate. That figure explodes to 32,000 in New York City, where truancy is out of control. The result is 31% of American high school seniors are proficient in English, 26% in science, 22% in math. By comparison, 90% of students in China learn computer programming, advanced mathematics, speak a second language. Back after this. If you know your party's extension, press or say 1.
