Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, July 24th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Closer to a deal, new tariffs, sentenced to life. And Bertha makes landfall again. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, yesterday, we reported on a rumor of a deal between America and Saudi Arabia

that would help them build nuclear power plants. first thing to know, this is not the same as nuclear weapons. UAE has the only nuclear power plant in the region other than Iran. The president said the civil nuclear deal. There will be no enrichment of material, which pertains only to non-military use will be approved. But here's the rub. It is totally subject to Saudi Arabia joining the very respected and successful Abraham Accords. The Abraham Accords, if you join it, it means that you formally normalize all relations with Israel, diplomatic and economic.

Caroline Levitt said, the president said if they don't join the Abraham Accords, the deal is off. Netanyahu said Saudi Arabia joining the Accords would be a historically leap forward for peace in the Middle East. America will impose new tariffs on over 80 nations, about 10 to 12.5%. Why? This is against countries that import goods made with forced labor. Now, we've prohibited the importation of goods made with slave labor for 100 years, but this agreement still allows prison labor. In 2021, the United States passed a law banning imports from a region in China where forced labor was rampant. The Trump administration also pushed Canada and Mexico to adopt a prohibition on imports made with forced labor as a part of other trade negotiations. Ten countries have committed to a similar ban. Progressives, who you think would be in favor of this, they're skeptical, saying this is just the Trump administration's way of getting around the legality of tariffs.

This is issued under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. The male who won in a murder spree a year ago in Minneapolis, killing the former House Speaker and her husband, as well as critically wounding a state senator and his wife, that murderer was sentenced to two life terms plus 40 years. He pled guilty to the charges. This is his plea deal, so prosecutors didn't seek the death penalty. The U.S. District Court said it was the longest sentence I've imposed after hearing thousands of cases, but I believe is deserved. the former speaker's husband's sister said it will not offer me peace of mind that he will have room and board provided for the rest of his life paid for by my tax dollars. Tropical storm Bertha has made its second lampfall in the Gulf of America coast.

Time now for the O'Reilly update, message of the day. On this Friday, I'm thinking about the progressive takeover of the Democratic Party. The radicals are now entrenched in at least 15 states. The most shocking situation is happening in Minnesota. Now, I've been to that state many times, a nice place.

But now it's Loonville. There are good people there, of course, but the government has gone. crazy. Minnesota has 10 electoral votes. There are 3.8 million registered voters, big immigrant communities, many from Somalia. The problem is, it seems political correctness and a lack of perspective has gripped Minnesota. Example, Governor Tim Walls. He's not very smart, and he's a far-left ideologue, whom Kamala Harris picked as her running mate. Now, recently there was a guy convicted of a heinous crime in Minnesota. For years, a migrant from Laos raped a 10-year-old girl.

That man served his time in Minnesota, then went up for parole. Walsh supported it. They were going to let him out. But Secretary of State Marco Rubio stepped in. and deported the criminal back to Laos. The whole thing sounds crazy and it is, but this is where the progressive movement lives, and they are now ruling the Democratic Party.

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. Now let's go to the mail. Charles Parrish, Livermore, California. Why are declassified documents redacted so heavily? I saw the documents broadcast on a network and read aloud the commentators and they were unreadable.

Well, there are a couple of reasons, but in the Epstein case, for example, anybody tied into Epstein, even if you deliver DoorDash to them, you're going to get hurt. So the government's not in business to hurt people as far as out of context. So that's number one. You've got to protect people who aren't convicted of anything that's called due process. Number two, there are ongoing investigations. So you don't put out the information that you have that might spoil or make it harder to complete your investigation. There's a bunch of reasons why redactions take place.

Tom Criswell, Rogue River, Oregon said that Oregon is considered so crazy politically, but it's because of Portland, Salem, and Eugene. The rest of the state pretty normal. This next week, my wife and I will be celebrating our 60th anniversary. Proud to say we have followed you for years, Bill. We share your values and your no-spin reporting. Okay, so 60 years is quite an achievement of marriage, quite an achievement. And you'd be very, very proud of that.

You're patriotic because families hold this country together. It's for Oregon. I love to live in there. Beautiful place. But they are almost unreachable now, they being the people who run the state. They're that crazy. In a moment, something you might not know. There's no shortcut for saving time.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 115 years ago today, an American explorer climbed into the cloud forests of the Andes Mountains. There he discovered the ancient ruins of a so-called lost city. After centuries, Machu Pishu had been found. Here is the story.

The settlement was established in the year 14. 150 at the height of the Inca Empire. Contrary to early myths, it was not a defensive fortress, a hidden military outpost, or even a religious shrine. Instead, modern evidence reveals Machu Picchu was a royal estate and a country retreat for Fat Cat Incas. The location was chosen for its beauty and its alignment with sacred peaks, but building a stone city on a narrow ridge between two jagged summons was a logistical nightmare. The Inca spent 60% of their construction underground. They built deep foundations out of crushed stone and hundreds of agricultural terraces to prevent the settlement from sliding down the ground. the mountain. The town lasted less than 100 years. Spanish conquistadors arrived in 1532.

They executed the Incan emperor, plunging the region into civil war. So the fantasy estate, Machu Picchu, was abandoned. The location of the lost city remained a mystery until 1911, when a Yale professor named Hiram Bingham launched an expedition into the Andes Mountains. Seventy years later, the ancient village was declared a world heritage site by the United Nations. Today, two million tourists visit Monterepichu every year. And here's something else you might not know. The Yale professor and his adventures in South America was the inspiration behind one of the the most iconic characters in American film history. That would be Indiana Jones. Back in a
