Starting point is 00:00:44 Here's what happening today in America. Deportations up. Foreign-born workers down. Will you set it to 78? An Independence Day festivities. That's all coming up. And Bill's going to be here with your message of the day.
Starting point is 00:00:56 But first, 10,000 illegal aliens have been arrested in the last five days. This is in line with a new Homeland Security goal of deporting 2,000 illegal animals. aliens every day. Last year, White House officials gave Homeland Security the goal of 3,000 illegal aliens deported every day. These recent arrests have been carried out with little publicity after Mark Wayne Mullen, the new Homeland Security Secretary pledged during his confirmation hearing earlier this year that he will keep the agency out of headlines and do the work
Starting point is 00:01:22 quietly. Worth noting in an effort to stop the deportation of an illegal alien, Governor Tim Walls of Minnesota, he was almost our vice president. He just pardoned a foreigner who was convicted of first-degree sexual abuse of a 10-year-old girl for four years. This person was from Laos. He was set to be deported. He pled guilty. He still avoided jail time somehow. But he did lose his legal status that he got in 1994 because of this conviction.
Starting point is 00:01:52 But since Waltz pardoned him, he gets to keep his legal status. Democrats protecting a child abuser. In similar news, the June jobs report showed that the foreign-born labor. force has fallen sharply over the past a year. The deportations and self-deportations are affecting the job market. The number of foreign-born people in the labor force fell by 700,000 from June of last year.
Starting point is 00:02:14 This is a significant reversal from the labor market of recent years when a surge of immigration under the Biden administration especially expanded the foreign-born workforce. Still hot outside, 160 million people under extreme heat advisories in America. Not great leading up to the 4th of July. The mayor of New York City wrote that the
Starting point is 00:02:34 Power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees. Turn off lights and electronics when you're not using them and unplug what you can. It's 2026 and we don't have a power grid that can handle the being hot outside. I hope you have a wonderful Independence Day. The DC events on Saturday. Military flyover started at 115 and then continue like every 10 minutes until sunset. The president is supposed to speak at 9.45.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Fireworks at 1030. Again, expected to be the largest fireworks show in the history of the world. 850,000 fireworks. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politicsbyfaith.com slash at Politics by Faith. If you could please subscribe, Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Next. Time now for the O'Reilly update, message of the day. On this Friday, I'm thinking about patriotism. New poll from CBS finds 73% of Americans believe the USA has achieved the ideals.
Starting point is 00:03:34 It was founded upon on. Twenty-six percent say it has not. Forty-seven percent think the best days for the country are in its past. Forty-one percent say in the future. The surprising figure is that 67 percent believe our democracy is under threat. I just don't understand that. My democracy is not in danger. And I have the biggest mouth in the country. Who bloviates more than me? Or louder? Nobody is curtailing my rights. So what are these people talking about? Well, they don't like President Trump. They don't like what he does. But it's all fiction. If Trump does something and the Supreme Court says he
Starting point is 00:04:32 cannot do it, then he doesn't do it. That is called democracy. Are you getting that MS now? I still think most Americans love their country, but you have to get out of the urban centers to find that affection. 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. William Wood, Valparaiso, Indiana.
Starting point is 00:05:13 Can Guam and Puerto Rico be included as places for birth, right, citizenship? Yes, they're territories in the United States. They're part of us. They're just not states. David Bryant, Seneca, South Carolina. I disagree with you, O'Reilly. I believe the SAVE Act is unconstitutional. Federal government is imposing voting rules on the states. When it has no constitutional authority to do so. It has constitutional authority to enforce what's in the Constitution.
Starting point is 00:05:47 And that's what's happening with the SAVE Act. Okay. They want you to prove you're an American citizen, which, as we went over earlier, all the states agreed upon. Steve Schramm, Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania. When I voted for President Trump three times, I do not like his current statements about oil companies' price gouging. This incident he has people thinking local gas they fill up with as a culprit. No, but the locals down on your corner are told what to charge. They don't make the prices.
Starting point is 00:06:28 Trump's right on this. We're getting gouged. Diane Braga, Maineville, Ohio. As soon as the price of oil rose, we felt it immediately the next day at the pumps. However, when the price is dropped, it takes weeks to see it at the pumps. Very good logic.
Starting point is 00:06:44 Okay, there's no doubt. All right, word of the day, no botology. It's a good word, I can't give it justice. Okay. In a moment, something you might not know.

On this day in 1863, the Union Army defeated the Confederates in what remains, the largest military conflict in the history of North America. The ferocious skirmish lasted three days and forever changed the Young Republic. Here is the story behind the Battle of Gettysburg. Since the start of the Civil War, Robert E. Lee and his Confederate Army enjoyed a series.
Starting point is 00:08:02 series of victories. The general then planned an invasion of Pennsylvania, using 80,000 troops. In his way was U.S. General George Meade and 100,000 federal troops. On the morning of July 1st, advanced units of both forces contacted each other just outside the town of Gettysburg. By noon, the conflict was underway. The bloody battle wage for three days. On July 3rd, Lee tried one last time to break the union lines. He ordered Pickett's charge, a desperate maneuver that will go down as one of the worst military decisions
Starting point is 00:08:53 of the Civil War. Exhausted, both armies held their positions until the night of July 4th, then Robert E. Lee withdrew. The Union Army was too weak to pursue the Confederates, who retreated to Virginia, never to invade the North again. Gettysburg was a turning point in the Civil War. Each side suffered 25,000 casualties in less than 72 hours. In November 1863, President Lincoln visited the battlefield to consecrate a new National Cemetery.
Starting point is 00:09:35 There he delivered his famous Gettysburg Address. Robert Lee surrendered two years later. In its totality, the Civil War was fought in 10,000 places from Vermont to Arizona. 700,000 Americans died during the conflict more than all other wars combined. Back in a moment.
