Hey, if you're here listening, you know you don't want spin, right? You know that, Bill knows that, Bill does not mess with the spin. You want it straight. So here's a straight recommendation. I'm Mike Baker, former CIA officer, and every day on the president's daily brief, I do for national security and geopolitics exactly what this show does for the news. No agenda, no hysteria, no opinion, just the facts.

We tell you what's happening.

You decide how to think about it.

It's named for the brief that lands on the president's desk, and it runs every single day.

20 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the afternoon.

Smart, fast, honest, follow the president's daily brief on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen.

Bill O'Reilly here, and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

On this Wednesday, President Trump recently said the USA is going to run the Stit of Hormuz.

In the meantime, the Mullins in Tehran are getting angrier and angrier, not a good situation.

So the new Ayatollah, whoever he is, is rejecting international inspectors from his now damaged nuclear sites.

If the Iranians hold to that threat, there is going to be mass destruction in Persia.

Unfortunately, many civilians will die.

Sadly, our endeavor in Iran is not going well, at least today. Tomorrow

might be something different, but the imagery obtained by CNN, of all people, shows that new

construction at Tehran's nuclear enrichment facilities is underway. Those photos

confirmed the Iranians are resurrecting their atomic nuclear program. Everybody knew they were

close to a nuke, and now the mullahs are confirming it.

So they're just asking for trouble.

Like the Japanese of World War II, how many times did we give them the chance to surrender

before we had to obliterate Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

A question worth pondering.

Back in a moment.
