Please go to TNUSA.com slash bill or call 800-245-6-0-0. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thanks, Bill. Here's this happening this week in America. The final night, blue screen of death, is this it? And funeral in Pennsylvania. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day.

But first, final night of the Republican convention, Hulk Hogan, ripping his shirt to reveal a Trump Vance shirt underneath, followed up by a presentation of the gospel and prayer by the Reverend Franklin Graham. The first lady walked out to Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D. Minor, followed up by Kid Rock. and the night culminating in an opera singer singing a song whose final words in Italian are translated, I will win. It was an eclectic mix, a big tent last night.

Trump's speech 93 minutes. Don't question his stamina. He said for far too long, our nation is settled for too little. You've been told to lower your expectations and to accept less for your families. But I'm here tonight with the opposite message. Your expectations are not big enough. They're not big enough. It's time to start expecting and demanding the big.

best leadership in the world, leadership that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless. We can do that. We're Americans. Ambition is our heritage. Greatness is our birthright. The blue screen of death has hit banks, grocery stores, media outlets, Delta, United, and airline canceled all their flights. It hit England as well.

Doctors' appointments canceled. Planes, train, shut down. Stores in Australia shutting down or going cash only. The largest IT outage in history. We're told this is not a security. incident or cyber attack, and we're told it could take weeks to fully repair. Will Joe Biden drop out this weekend? Mark Halperin reporting last night that Biden has decided to withdraw.

They're just polishing up his remarks, and he's going to support an open convention. But the man who Mark Halper instead is polishing those remarks said that's not true at all. So is this the deep state manifesting Biden's leaving, hoping to increase the pressure and make it all feel too hopeless for him? Or is Biden really going to step down? We'll find out very soon. The firefighter who was killed at the Trump rally the other day, who Trump paid tribute to in his speech last night,

his funeral is today. 500 fire trucks from Florida to Texas are going to lead the procession of this former firefighter to the church he's been a member of for many years. It's going to be a beautiful sight. As Tucker Carlson said in his speech last night, when Trump called Tucker's wife, Trump told her there's a lot of hate,

but there's also a lot of love. I'm Mike Slater for the podcast, Politics by Faith. Can't wait to hear what Bill O'Reilly has to say in his message of the day. Next. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

On this Thursday, I thought I was in a remake. of the Rocky Horror Picture Show doing the Time Warp. Remember that? Let's do the time. All right. Okay. Tuesday, I once again met my old debating partner John Stewart on his home turf, The Daily Show. This came together fairly quickly to show the country that political discourse can actually be fun. It doesn't have to be hateful. The banter between Stewart and I was quick, pithy, and the mostly young studio audience seem to enjoy it. We did it because of the shooting on Saturday. I mean, the hate is just too much. We've got to tamp it down. We've got to set an example. Now, this kind of detente really happens anymore because it requires talent and discipline to conduct a political discourse without

using the F word and references to the Third Reich. Cheap invective is easy. Consice framing of your points is not. America, as we all know, a wash with haters on the media who want to harm their political opponents, not best them using facts. They want to hurt them, destroy them. We have become a mean country because of that, with massive assistance from social media. Cowards can now throw vicious rhetorical bombs without consequence. John Stewart and I conducted a clinic Tuesday night.

It's a display well worth watching. always makes things worse. Humor does the exact opposite. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town, if you wish to opine. Let's go to the mail. We got Douglas Ripley, towns in Maryland. Hey, Bill, I listened to you for many years. The no-spin news on July 15th, you stated, if Trump apologizes for his rhetoric over the years, he would win. You're misquoting me, and I'm not scolding you, Douglas, but you've got to listen. I never said that Donald Trump should apologize. I said he should admit that sometimes he goes over the rhetorical line and say he's going to try not to do that

again. I would advise Donald Trump not to apologize, okay? But going forward to say, Now I have a little bit more understanding of hate rhetoric, and I'm going to try to tamp it down. He'd win if he did it. Victor, concierge member, Victor gets direct access to me, which will enhance your life. You're into trouble? We will help you. Bill, after last Saturday's horrific event, we can all conclude that Trump is going to be the next president. You would be foolish to do that, Victor.

Many things can happen. Robert, Donald Trump picked the wrong VP. Vance won't help the narrow lead he has. Biden got 52% of independence in 2020. Okay, you can make that case, no doubt. Eric Eisenhower, Dallas, Texas. Bill, are you telling me you're not the least bit suspicious that a 20-year-old punk outwitted the U.S. Secret Service?

I'm not the least bit suspicious that the Secret Service did anything untoward. Why? Because I had to deal with them. I did four shows, arena shows, with Donald Trump. And I had to deal myself personally with the Secret Service. Secret Service. Now, to think that the service would want someone to kill Donald Trump is insane. That's what it is. So you know the Secret Service was inefficient. The leadership will go. You want to live in a conspiracy world? It's up to you, Eric. Those are the facts. In a moment, something you might not know.

We are quickly approaching the halfway point of summer. From the beach to the backyard, Americans are enjoying warm weather, some very warm weather in places, also some classic music. Here are the top 10 summer songs of all time, ranked by parade and billboard magazines. Number 10, Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts. It's a good tune, stands up. Next, Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta, Summer Nights from the movie Greece. So-so. Number eight, Summer in the City by Love and Spoonful, classic.

Seven, vacation by the go-go. It's not all I ever wanted. Number six, cool summer by Bananarama, underrated song. Number five, fun, fun, fun by the Beach Boys. That should be number one. Number four, under the boardwalk by the drifters. The top three starts with Sly and the Family Stones hot fun in the summertime. Good tune, stands up.

Second place, the Beatles. Here comes the sun. and the most successful summer song of all time, released in 1972, comes from Alice Cooper. When asked to explain the inspiration behind the single, Cooper said the song is about the greatest three minutes of the year. Quote, what's the greatest three minutes you've ever had? One is Christmas morning when you're getting ready to open presents. The other is the last three minutes of the last day of school. It's like a slow burning fuse. And here's something else you might not know. America's taste of music has changed a lot since 1972. This summer
