But first, the trial for rapper Sean Combs, the jury, acquitted him of the most serious charges, but the jury did find him guilty of two counts of

transportation to engage in prostitution. When the verdict was confirmed and the judge gave the juror's instructions, Combs turned around to his family and said, I'm coming home, baby, I'm coming home. Not fully. His bail was denied. He is back in detention right now. He's already served about nine months in federal prison and he will stay in prison while he awaits sentencing. Each charge of transportation to engage in prostitution carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. You may remember April 1st, there was a big Supreme Court election for Wisconsin. Big money poured in from all around the country and the progressive justice won. So the Wisconsin Supreme Court has a 4 to 3 progressive majority.

Well, their latest ruling on abortion came out with a 4 to 3 ruling. The court struck down a 176-year-old law. The law passed in 1849 was in effect. until 1973, when Roe v. Wade nullified it. When Roe v. Wade was recently overturned, that law went back in effect. But the court's argument was that other abortion laws that have been passed since then have nullified the 1849 law. From one of the dissenting justices, they said the majority opinion is a jaw-dropping

exercise of judicial will, placing personal preference over the constitutional roles of the three branches of our state government by upending a duly enacted law. Justice is supposed to be blind. but justice is not supposed to turn a blind eye to the obvious. The majority's analysis is fundamentally flawed and the majority is compromised when it comes to the issue of abortion. Trump announced a trade deal with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.

He said the terms are that Vietnam will pay the U.S. a 20% tariff on any and all goods sent into our territory and a 40% tariff on any trans-shipping. It's where they move the goods between ships. In return, Vietnam will do something that they've never done before, give the United States total access to their markets for trade, open their markets entirely zero tariff. The B2 pilots and crew who bombed Iran's nuclear facility

have been invited to the White House, that they've been told to keep a low profile. He invited the pilots and crew to the White House for the 4th of July celebration, which will include a flyover of B2 bombers, as well as F-22 and F-35 fighter jets. No public ceremony is planned, and the pilot's identities are not being disclosed.

The B2 pilots flew 36 hours straight, from Missouri to Iran and back. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Hope you have a wonderful Independence Day. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Thursday, here's something to ponder. When the founding fathers conceived of a new country that would promote freedom and justice, they envision leadership that would pursue those things. tyrants need apply. But Jefferson, Madison, Franklin, and the boys also understood human nature and how awful it can be. So they built in controls over presidents and members of Congress. What the founders did not anticipate was the potential of money purchasing political power. And here we are. In order to run for national office, the citizen needs

hundreds of thousands of dollars, often millions. For the presidency, billions. You may have noticed not one congressional Democrat voted for the big bill that President Trump promoted even though it would keep taxes on working Americans at a lower rate. If any Democrat had supported that bill, the person would have been shunned by the party and most likely denied funds for re-election. Same thing on the Republican side, defy President Trump and you are likely finished. Donated money will be very difficult to raise. So voting one's conscience, which the founding fathers wanted, has been replaced by political

survival, not the way our system should work. 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. Let's go to Andrew Mattingly in Port Orange, Florida. So disappointed in Donald Trump and the Republican Party for not including no tax on Social Security in the big bill, as promised, while keeping the overtime and tips in the bill. Very disappointing. You will get a bigger credit if you're on Social Security and you're paying taxes off of it.

And they can only do what they can do. Debt is so staggering. But I think workers and senior citizens do much better on this bill than they would under anything put forth by the Democrats. Wendy, I'm older than the baby boomers. I love my country. Always have and I'm damn proud of it. I've worked hard. It started business when I was 24 years old.

Now, my daughter runs it, only in America. Yeah, I mean, entrepreneurism, small business owners, man, you go to Canada, just Canada. And the regulations up there compared to here, two different worlds. Charles, concierge member, Charles gets direct access to me. If Charles gets in trouble, my crew will help him out. Tonight's host of the news is superb. Two points, very important. Democrats will not reduce entitlement spending, despite our country's massive debt.

Republican tax legislation is not tax cuts for the rich, but a reduction in taxes for business and the middle class. 100% accurate, Charles, and I wish every American saw it the way you see it. That's 100% accurate. Novell Rogers, Petal, Mississippi, will President Trump take retribution against those voting against the big bill? I think he should. I think he will. That's his history. If you're a Republican Congressman and you vote against the big bill, you're going to get primaries. No doubt about it. In a moment, something you might not know.

The summer season is mainly associated with outside, sun, fun, surf, all that.

It's also the time when Hollywood releases its biggest films of the year. From outer space, the giant sharks are the greatest summer blockbusters of all time. Number 10, Raiders of the Lost Ark. The 1981 debut of Indiana Jones earned $350 million worldwide. Next, Disney's The Lion King. The animated tale is actually a retelling of William Shakespeare's Hamlet. box office hall, 400 million.

the movie made $600 million worldwide. Jurassic Park, the dinosaur flick cost $68 million to produce, earned $750 million worldwide. Return of the Jedi.

Superhero movie was the first to break the billion dollar mark during its opening weekend. Number four, Alien, the 1979 horror classic features Sigourney Weaver, Tom Scarrett, and a nine-foot-tall-space creature who is not friendly. Third place on the movie list, Jaws.

I saw it the other night on TV. The movie sparked a global hysteria surrounding sharks. After its release, tourists on the beaches on Long Island and New England plunged 40%. Second spot goes to E.T., the extraterrestrial, total sales 2.3 billion. The biggest summer blockbuster of all time, the original Star Wars, film cost $10 million to make, very inexpensive, total ticket sales to this moment, $3 billion. And here's something else you might not know. Most of these movies came from the minds of two men, Stephen Spielberg and his close friend, George Lucas. Back after this.
