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. But 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 will 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 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 B-2 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 eight 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 7-2 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.

Hopefully you get to do at least one of those things today. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day. Next. Something new is happening at Cox. Now the price of your Cox internet and mobile plan won't go up for three years. And Wi-Fi equipment is included. So no frustrating price changes, just a lot more of what you want.

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 I had 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 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.

Today, 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. Sponge 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 BillOReilly.com, Bill at BillOReilly.com, name and 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. 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, 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 all 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 metairie in Louisiana outside of New Orleans. When the Supreme Court justices take their oath, they swear to uphold the Constitution. When the liberal justices consistently rule based on their own opinions,

Shouldn't it be possible to impeach them? You can impeach them, but not because they have a contrary opinion to the majority. You're going to 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 Pevnarek, Las Vegas, "In today's message you stated 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.

Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. With the price of just about everything going up, we thought we'd bring our prices down.

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 4th 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 4th 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 distributive and signed by the 56 delegates on August 2nd. For the true story behind America's fight for independence, you might want to check out my best-selling book, Killing England.

A great and constructive read this 4th of July, back after this.
