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 Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Big win for MAGA.

Iran to China, sentenced to death and a cruise ship outbreak. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here

They were also the top buyer of Venezuelan oil. The leader of China, President Xi, made a rare statement that all parties

should respect free transit through the strait. Our president is ready to go to China to meet with

Xi on May 14th and 15th. In an absolutely heinous murder case, Tanner Horner murdered a seven-year-old girl in Paradise, Texas.
