But first, the Wall Street Journal is reporting. that President Trump has approved attack plans for Iran, but is waiting to see if Tehran abandons its nuclear ambitions. Iran has their well-defended Fordo enrichment facility. It's 300 feet underground in a mountain that can only be hit by America and one of our weapons. When asked if he will attack, Trump said, I may do it. I may not do it.

The next week is going to be very big, maybe less than a week. A third U.S. Navy destroyer entered the eastern Mediterranean Sea, and a second U.S. carrier strike group is headed towards the Arabian Sea. The USS Ford, America's flagship, 1,100-foot nuclear-powered carrier, is expected to be sent to Europe as soon as next week, making it the third U.S. aircraft carrier group in the region. The Ford will join the USS Carl Vincent, which is already in the Persian Gulf, and the USS Nimitz, which America recently announced would be coming from Southeast Asia. Dozens of Air Force refueling aircraft also left their U.S. spaces this weekend in a new deployment to Europe.

Israel killed dozens of Iran's remaining military leaders by bombing their mountain hideout. This is where they retreated to for safety. They fled their main headquarters to this secret location, but it wasn't secret. The IDF was waiting for him. The Supreme Court has ruled on a Tennessee law. SB1 prohibits health care providers from prescribing, administering, or dispensing puberty blockers or hormones to any child for the purpose of changing their sex or gender. This case made it all the way to the Supreme Court.

The argument was because in Tennessee, a boy could get testosterone, but a girl couldn't get testosterone to turn into a boy. So the boy could get treatment, but the girl couldn't get the same treatment, that that violated the equal protection law. And the court said, six to three, what are you talking about? No, it doesn't. up next marjorie taylor green has a bill that would ban these horrific surgeries on children nationwide the federal reserve did not lower interest rates yesterday and they gave some economic

On this Thursday, Johnny Carson's first network show was a quiz program called Who Do You Trust? If that were broadcast today, the collective answer might be very few. Back in the 1950s and 60s, lying, stealing,

they were kind of serious. If caught, you likely paid a price. Not anymore. A new academic study puts forth that trusting other people increases happiness. Trust helps us form, quote, vital social connections and prosper. Well, that's nice. So is Peter Pan. There is a reason Judas Ascariot is featured in the New Testament. As the cliche goes, let's get real. Trust is earned over a period of time. We have all been portrayed. It's a human condition. Does it mean you go cynical or isolationist? But caution regarding others is a necessity in this world. At the end of my mother's life I had to hire caregivers to stay with her in the house. Most of them stole things, then lied about it. Ask any attorney, they'll tell you perjury in the courtroom, now out of control.

Adultery, fraud, deceit in the marketplace, scams, all are everyday occurrences. So trusting others does remain a noble thing, but be careful. Very careful. Very careful. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

Don Malden, Aiken, South Carolina. I think you said that no Jews live in Iran. There are about 8,000 who lived there. I stand corrected. Good pickup, Don. About 8,000 Jews. But here's something interesting. They all have to swear allegiance to the government of Iran.

But there used to be 100,000 Jews in Iran, Persian Jews, about eight. Christopher Klein, New Ulm, Texas. Bill, you said China doesn't care about Iran. What is Iran's opinion of China? I don't know. And it doesn't matter, does it? Iran has no allies now.

No one. Everybody's backed away. It's alone. Dennis Hassett, Winterhaven, Florida. Your recent trip to China has inspired my son to go there. He's in process of getting a visa. His trip would be different than yours. He has no invitation, no translator, no security.

Do you think it would be safe? No. OK, if it's my son, he's not going. Hong Kong, if it were a good hotel and he was on a tour or something, Hong Kong would be all right. If your son goes to China unattended with no translator, trouble is almost guaranteed. And you're not going to be able to get him out of it and neither am I. So, Dennis, please pass that on to your son. The only way to go to China is by a tour

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might, not know. 72 years ago this week, an American married couple was executed for smuggling nuclear secrets to the Soviet Union. Here's the story behind the Rosenbergs. New Yorker Julius Rosenberg joined the U.S. Army in 1940. Unknown to the military, he and his wife Ethel were members of the Communist Party. Her brother, Sergeant David Greenglass, worked as a machinist at the Manhattan Project in New Mexico, which was developing the atom bomb.

In 1945, the Army accused the Rosenbergs of transferring nuclear secrets to the Soviets. Couple was charged with conspiracy to commit espionage brought to trial in 1951. It took six years to make the case. Well, I ever found guilty and sentenced to death. Sergeant Greenglass pleaded no contest, was given 15 years in prison. The case was appealed through the courts and before world opinion. Many believe the Jewish couple were targeted because of anti-Semitism. Others claim the charges were exaggerated.

In 1953, the Pope asked President Eisenhower to commute the death sentences to life in prison. But to send a message, Eisenhower refused to do that. On June 19th, the couple was brought before the electric chair in Sing Sing Prison, that's in New York State. 35-year-old Julius died immediately from the first shock. After his body was removed, Ethel was placed on the electric chair, but her execution was excruciating. She survived five bolts of electric current and died 30 minutes later at the age of 37. And here's something else you might not know. Despite America's best efforts, the Soviet Union did obtain the bomb in 1949.

In response to the USA helped Great Britain develop the technology, then France. Israel went nuclear sometime in the 1960s. The last country to successfully test the bomb, North Korea, in 2006. Today, Iran is prevented from obtaining nuclear weapons by a non-proliferation agreement. But that is now causing major trouble, as you know. Back after this.
