Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, September 24th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. She touches down. More UN speeches. Most transparent ever. And Trump to college game day. It's all coming up. And Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, our president met the president of China on the tarmac as he arrived in D.C.

yesterday. This is that joint base Andrews. This is a rare gesture. She did not meet Trump on the tarmac when he arrived in Beijing back in May. And the last time a president met any world leader upon arrival was back in 1962 when JFK met the prime

minister of England. And Trump did this, I believe, to give Xi a nice show of force. He escorted Xi down the red carpet. They played the national anthem. And then there was a flyover from a B1 Lancer bomber. Our Treasury Secretary announced that U.S. and China will not escalate tariffs until at least 2027. He said China hasn't been perfect. He said what we want to

ensure is that they're meeting their obligations. The Chinese have been very good thus far about meeting their obligations this year. They agreed to buy 25 million tons of soybeans. However, the Chinese have about $17 billion of other agricultural commitments that we think they're a little behind schedule on, and we are encouraging them to pick those up. The president of Iran spoke to a quite empty U.N. General Assembly Hall. He said Iran is the victim of terrorism. The president of Iran said the United States president described us as terrorists. We've been the victims of terrorism. I came from an Iran in which our esteemed supreme leader was assassinated without any legal framework or reason. America and Israel tacked us, equipped with the latest technology and

weapons systems and our people stood steadfast. Yes, they did hit us, but we did not bend the knee. We did not bow our head. The president of Argentina spoke well. He loves Trump. He said, the so-called defenders of human rights, talking about the UN, support bloodthirsty dictatorships and regimes that stone women to death in the streets. President Trump has participated in a record 759 press-facing events during his second term so far. The length of these, 351 total hours. The press asked questions at 474 of those events. Of course, the previous administration rarely took questions. When they did, often they only called on reporters with pre-approved questions compiled by his staff.

You've seen that paper that Biden was holding with reporters names, pronunciation guides, and summaries of their questions and how to respond. Big game on Saturday. And I college football number one ranked Texas versus the number 14 volunteers in Knoxville. And word is that President Trump will be there as well. The question is, will the president be on college game day to make his picks? College Game Day, the most watched sports show on cable, three million viewers every episode.

No, kickoff, Eastern Time on Saturday. Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next. Hi, I'm Stu Bergier, and I've got a brand new podcast that looks at the world and current events through the lens of prediction markets. These markets can turn elections, policy fights, and economic data, and cultural moments into actual tradable probabilities, and then over time, reveal patterns that traditional commentary

often misses. It's predictable with Stu, where we're making this. unpredictable world, a little more predictable. Be sure to download and subscribe today wherever you get your podcast. Don't miss a minute. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Thursday, I am thinking about Donald Trump's address to the United Nations. Despite the setting, the president's speech was directed more at the American people than Finland or Sri Lanka. He led out his accomplishments, most of which the corporate press refuses to even cover in the USA. Now, if you're an honest person, you must admit that President

Trump has done some good things, but he'll never get credit from the media, which is allied now with the Democratic Party. That means the media wants the Dems to win in November. Now, these outlets want to elect as many progressives as possible. It's not just about President Trump. So why would they say anything good about Republicans or the president? They wouldn't. That's the genesis of Trump's ban on CNN, MS, the AP, and Politico. He knows these agencies are suppressing his accomplishments, and it's absolutely true. If you watch the television coverage of his U.N. address, you saw the left-wing outfit sniped him for whatever he said, and CNN didn't even cover. But it doesn't really matter anymore.

Most Americans know the fix is in, so keep it here for the truth. 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. The mail. David says, Bill gives me. Given President Trump's on again, off again threats of action against Iran or whatever you wish to call it, he's diminished his standing with his conservative base because he appears to be indecisive. Okay. I think that there is a plan, but been going on for a while. That's what I am going to tell you on the YouTube bonus. There's a lot in and outs here.

Doug, concierge member, the press is a mess. CNN lies all the time. I get the people have opinions, but news and opinions are two completely different things. When I watch the news, I am looking for facts, not opinions. And that is pretty easy to determine who is reporting straight news. The best news agency right now for straight news is News Nation. They have excellent reporters and not that much opinion, although I will be on there with Chris Pormo tonight,

so opinions will be all over the place. But News Nation, you want facts, they deliver. Bill Giovinello, Dublin, Ohio. Part of the deal reached yesterday allowing Paramount Skydance and Warner Brothers to merge is the establishment of an independent editorial board for CNN and CBS comprised only of journalists with no political bias. I hope you will accept, O'Reilly, when you are contacted. I'll never be contacted ever in a million years. They're never going to do that. Because I'm an opinion guy.

Okay, so they're not going to link me up. But I'll be curious to see who's on that panel, that's for sure. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 78 years ago today, one of the most notorious trials in U.S. history began in Washington. The defendant was a failed American actress, accused of promoting Nazi propaganda during World War II. Here is the story of Axis Sally. Born Mildred Gillars in 1900, the performer appeared in minor roles on Broadway. She then moved to Germany to study music. In the 1930s, Mildred got a job working at a voice over place,

In Berlin, as the war broke out, she was hired by the Third Reich as an English-languished broadcaster, known as Axis Sally Mildred spewed Nazi propaganda to scare American soldiers at the front. Her final broadcast occurred just two days before the end of the war. The propagandists went into hiding but was arrested by the army in 1946 and taken back to the USA. Her trial began two years later. Sally claims she only agreed to the broadcast after members of the SS threatened to kill her husband, a German officer. In March, 1949, Axis Sally was found guilty of treason, sentenced to 30 years in prison. Because of strict the rules regarding nonviolent female inmates, she was paroled 12 years later. After her release,

Mildred lived at a Catholic convent near Columbus, Ohio, teaching French and German a high schoolers. She died in 1988 at the age of 87. And here's something else you might not know. Sally wasn't the only English-speaking propagandist during a war. The Japanese also broadcast a group of women, they took terms to intimidate U.S. soldiers in the Pacific. At least 25 different women operated under one name. Tokyo Rose. Back in a moment.
