Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Friday. Happy 4th of July Independence Day. Here's what's happening today in America. The one big beautiful bill made it through.

Record-breaking speech. Supreme Court win again. And John Adams on the big day that's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day of the first. The one big beautiful bill has passed the house. Then the Senate and the House again. Trump wrote very proud of Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who worked around the clock to get the One Big Beautiful Bill Act approved in the Senate.

He is tough, smart, and knows how to get the job done. Thank you, John. Trump also wrote great job by the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, who spearheaded the drive in Congress for the approval of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. He has great strength and wisdom. And we'll go down in history as one of the most successful speakers of the House in history, maybe even the best of them all. Thank you, Mike.

And congratulations on a John. job well done. Trump said there will be a signing ceremony on the 4th of July today, 4 o'clock Eastern with a flyover from some B2 bombers. He said together we can do things that were not even imagined possible less than one year ago. We will keep working and winning. Congratulations America. Before the House had their final vote, the leader of the Democrats in the House, Hakeem Jeffries, broke the record for the longest House floor speech ever. He started at 5 a.m. yesterday and spoke for 8 hours and 44 minutes. very slowly. This did nothing other than delay the vote for eight hours and 44 minutes. In the speech, he said a deportation machine will be unleashed on steroids if this bill passes. While ICE will be funded at 37.5 billion, that is larger than the military budget of every country in the world except for 15. ICE's budget will be tucked right in between the military budget of Canada and Italy. In similar news, the Supreme Court said 7 to 2 that the Trump administration,

is not obligated to keep eight non-citizens in temporary confinement at a U.S. military base in Djibouti, while a legal battle over their status plays out. This clears the way for their removal to South Sudan. They were on the way to the South Sudan when a district judge said, oh, you can't do that. Well, the Supreme Court last week lifted that injunction, but the same district judge said, no, no, they have to stay. So the Supreme Court came back and said, no, they don't. Even Elena Kagan, a progressive justice, said, I do not see how a district court can compel compliance with an order that this court has stayed. We'll end this Independence Day version of the O'Reilly update

with a letter that John Adams wrote to his wife, who said that this day ought to be commemorated by succeeding generations as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward, forevermore. you get to do at least one of those things today.

On this Friday, it is the 4th of July, and I will prove to you now that America is the best country in the world as far as opportunity goes. The other day at lunch with an extremely successful businessman who graduated from the same high school. that I did on Long Island. His father was a chauffeur. Four kids. Very modest upbringing, but dad worked hard, and the family got by barely. My upbringing was similar. Levittown, little money coming in. My father worked for years in a nowhere office job. But today, my lunch companion and I have prospered beyond any, anything we could have imagined despite having few built-in career advantages. No nepo zone.

America gave us both opportunities to get educated, develop our talents. Hard work then led to good wages and increased responsibilities. That's the way capitalism is supposed to work. some younger Americans do not believe that. But the success pathway does remain. It's a rough road. Much easier not to try. Sell dope. Spunge the system. As we all celebrate 249 years of freedom, I know my success. Could not have happened anywhere else. Thank you, founding fathers. 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. Bill Bruton, Crestville, Florida. Bill, I guess I'm missing something. You put forth that one way to deal with the national debt would be to drill on federal lands for oil, apply the profits to the debt. But if the profits go to the debt, what incentives do oil companies have to drill? Oh, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on, come on, Bill.

The oil companies go in. They get a contract with the United States, okay, because the United States owns the land. We pay them to get the oil harvested out. That's where they make their money. Then the oil gets sold overseas for a profit. And while the profit goes to pay down a debt, it's not complicated. I don't know why they're not doing it or haven't proposed it yet, but I'll get it in motion. Brian French,

a metery, Louisiana, outside of New Orleans. When a Supreme Court justice take their oath, they swear to uphold the Constitution. When the liberal justice consistently ruled based on their own opinions, shouldn't be possible to impeach them. You can impeach them, but not because they have a contrary opinion to the majority.

You didn't have to do some criminal activity. All the judges in each of the rulings justify their position. Now, we know that there are conservative and liberal members on the court who put politics above everything else, but you can't do anything about it. George Pernarik, Las Vegas, in today's message, you said, the public school system no longer emphasizes history in civics, leaving millions of Americans ignorant of America's greatness. Why is this? Because local school boards, and that's where the power is in public schools, don't care. They don't care. They'd rather have some touchy-feely course on cooking.

History? In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One. Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with. Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world.

Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might Not no. Happy Fourth of July today marks a 249th birthday of the USA. To honor the occasion, millions of citizens will swim, barbecue, blast off a few firecrackers. Here's how Americans are celebrating across the nation. In Brooklyn, New York, folks indulge with dozens of hot dogs. The Coney Island Hot Dog Eating Contest sees competitors eat more than 70 Nathan's Franks to

take home the big prize, 40,000 bucks. And all Americans consume 150 million hot dogs on the 4th of July. Next fireworks, adults spend $2 billion on the explosives. Displays are illegal in most cities. That doesn't stop New Yorkers. There are 15,000 noise complaints in the Big Apple each July. The fourth is also a big day for boozers. Liquor sales double in all 50 states, especially Hawaii.

Biggest spirits this year, rum, tequila, vodka. Beer, also a very popular beverage, as you know, top ran for the 25th consecutive year, Budweiser, but not Bud Light. The drinking tradition actually dates back to the Revolutionary War. On the second anniversary of Independence Day in 1778, American troops were still fighting the British. Commander George Washington ordered a double ration of rum for all soldiers to celebrate the holiday.

This year, citizens will also honor the fourth with parades. More than 50,000 towns across the USA will hold official marches. And here's something else you might not know. Nearly all delegates to the Continental Congress actually signed the Declaration of Independence on August 2nd. 1776, not July 4th. While the resolution was passed by legislators between July 2nd and the 4th, the original document was illegible, couldn't read it. The declaration we recognize today is a rewritten copy on parchment. That version was attributive and signed by the 56 delegates on August 2nd. For the true story behind America's fight for independence, you might want to
