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 Monday, July 7th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Texas flash floods, Mexican riots, timeline ticking, and Bessent hits that's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day.

But first, the death toll from the horrible Texas flash flooding is now it's 70. More missing, including 21 children, have been killed by this flood. The president signed a major disaster declaration for Kerr County, Texas, where most of the deaths have occurred. T-shirts and other items from a local summer camp have shown up mixed among the debris along the river. One of the saddest things I've ever seen. The flooding was caused by a cluster of slow-moving thunderstorms that dumped up to 15 inches of rain in just a few hours. and the river surged up to 27 feet in less than one hour. A 22-year-old woman was swept 20 miles by the flooding,

and she was rescued in a tree. At a mini-mart in Centerpoint, Texas, a sign at the cash register told first responders that whatever they want is totally free. One store employees said that mini-marts across the area are doing the same thing. Reports of multiple groups of people grilling out of the back of their trucks to help first responders and search teams.

DHS was reporting that a U.S. Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Scott Ruskin, has saved 165 people. It was the first rescue mission of his career. Protesters in Mexico City are upset by the number of Americans who have moved to Mexico City and driven up rent and gentrified neighborhoods and are a foreign culture and they're changing the culture of the city. Gringo, go home. Get out of Mexico.

Gringo, stop stealing our home. home. Protesters saying that this gentrification is a form of colonization and none of them apparently connecting at all what they're calling for and what Donald Trump is doing to the illegal aliens from Mexico who are in our country. The president said that the rest of the world has until August 1st to get their trade deals finalized. The original tariffs were announced on April 2nd, you remember, but Trump gave the world some time to make a deal. Well, time is wrapping up here. So far, Trump has made a deal with the United Kingdom, Vietnam, and a limited temporary deal with China. The Treasury Secretary was asked on CNN about Democrats who say

work requirements for the one big beautiful bill for Medicaid recipients. It's too cumbersome and will force people off the rolls. Besson said, well, it's a group of Democrats who unfortunately seem to think that poor people are stupid. I don't think poor people are stupid. I think they have agency. And I think to have them register twice a year for these benefits is not a burden. These people who want to infantilize the poor are nothing but alarmists. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith.

On this Monday, let's talk about young American smoking pot. that stat up 250% over the past few years. And the pot itself is 10 times stronger

than what the hippies were smoking in the 1960s. Now, my son is 19 years old. And here's what I told them. If you get into the world of narcotics, pot included, then your life is going to take a drastic turn for the worse because nothing good leads from this. And your generation is going to be the most drug addled in the history of the United States because of the drug to legalize drugs and no punishment for selling drugs.

So your generation is going to have more access to more drugs, including strong marijuana, than Americans have ever had before. and many of your generation are going to get involved with drugs. Those people are going to find it very hard to compete in our society. And if you, my son, avoid drugs, alcohol, and other destructive pursuits, you are going to prosper because the competition is going to be far less. Responsible people in your generation are going to be fewer, and you will stand out,

which means a satisfactory life is easier. 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. Jim Mullaney, Westchester, Ohio.

I'm a loyal fan, O'Reilly. I know you're a terrific historian. Thank you very much, Jim. I'm confused as to why you keep referring to Jefferson Madison as framers of the Constitution. It was Hamilton and Madison who wrote the Federalist Papers. Jefferson was in France. The Federalist Papers were essays like my column on Bill O'Reilly.com. They encourage people to get behind the new conference.

Constitution, which was written, conceived by Thomas Jefferson and his pal in Virginia, James Madison. Okay? Federalist Papers is no authority to it. It was just a bunch of opinion. So if you read, Killing England, great read for the Fourth of July. You'll get all that. Barbara Slager, surprise, Arizona.

I started watching you on Fox Bill years ago. I'm curious why you think Jennifer Griffin is a good reporter when she obviously hates Trump and Pete Hague-Seth. I don't see it that way. I think she's a tough reporter and she's skeptical about things as she should be. Okay? So the president is not giving you everything down the line. He wants you to agree with him. And Hague-Seth does what the president tells him to do.

So why wouldn't Jennifer report that? It doesn't mean she hates them. Look, I've known Jennifer Griffith for almost 30 years. There's no better reporter. Okay, her sources inside the Pentagon, impeccable. And she lays it out. She's not an ideologue. Mark Ray, Houston, Texas.

Were you able to ever find out why the Bidens keep refinancing their homes? I was not because that is privileged private information. It's like medical stuff. I can't go into the IRS and tell them to give me records, seeing if the Biden's, you know, what they did with their mortgages. It's private. I think there should be a congressional investigation into the whole finance thing on the Biden front.

And maybe down the road there will be. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.

You don't want to

miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 127 years ago today President William McKinley formally annexed the Hawaiian Islands into the United States. Today the territory remains one of the most interesting states in the Union. Here is the story. The Polynesian people first arrived on the archipelago around 700 AD. The next millennia, they ruled the islands unopposed. All that changed in 1778, when English Captain James Cook made landfall on Kauai, one of the out islands. One year later, the 50-year explorer and his crew were attacked on the beach and they were all stabbed to death. The British then withdrew their navy from Hawaii. American whalers began wintering on Hawaii in the early 19th century. Christian

missionaries followed. By 1850, the islands featured frame houses, horse-drawn carriages, schools, churches, taverns, and ports. After the Civil War, the Kingdom of Hawaii signed a free trade agreement with the USA. The deal also allowed the construction of a naval base near Honolulu that would become Pearl Harbor. In July, 1898, President McKinley oversaw the island's annexation. For the next 40 years, why transformed into America's main outpost in the Pacific? The population exploded from 90,000 to a half million. After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, signaling World War II, Congress moved to protect the islands from foreign aggression. That took place in March, 1959.

when President Eisenhower signed the Hawaii statehood bill into law. Today, Hawaii remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It is a global exporter of sugar, pineapple, coffee, fish, and nuts. And here's something else you might not know. Why is one of America's most exotic locations, but it's also the most liberal? Kamala Harris carried the state by 23 points. Since joining the USA, Hawaii has been represented in Washington by just three Republicans. To this day, Democrats of Hawaii are perceived as

defenders of the indigenous Polynesian population. Back after this. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
