But first, a 25-year-old bank employee went to the bank that he was recently fired from and murdered four people between the ages of 40 and 64. This was downtown Louisville, Kentucky. The governor of Kentucky said the senior vice president of the bank, one of the men who

was killed, was one of his closest friends. The murderer was killed by police. Nine other people were injured, including a 26-year-old police officer who just graduated the academy 10 days ago and was shot in the head. He started opening fire 30 minutes before the bank opened to the public during a Monday morning meeting. and some people were there virtually, so they watched the shooting on their computers.

Horrific. The two Tennessee Assemblymen who were expelled from the chamber for their role in some protests last week, well, the vacant assembly seat was to be appointed by the Nashville City Council for the Assemblyman who was from that district. Well, the Nashville City Council

just voted to appoint the same guy, the guy who was expelled. So one of them's going back. They voted 36 to nothing. Nashville's a Blue City. Even Nashville, Tennessee is a blue city. city. The other reps from Memphis and the county government is going to vote to fill that seat and we expect them to do the same thing when they meet on Wednesday. Gavin Newsom, the governor

of California, finishing up his campaign for democracy tour across red states. He went to Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and of course, Florida, where he said that Ron DeSantis is going to be rolled by Trump. So he's in red states lecturing them that they're doing it wrong. Meanwhile, the city of San Francisco, which he used to be the mayor, The mayor asked for the federal government's help in fighting crime in her city. She said the scale of the problem is beyond our local capacity. So she needs money from the people of Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Florida, among others, to help.

Megan Rapino from the U.S. women's soccer team. She's the one with the pink or purple hair who went on to inexplicably become a victorious secret bottle. She and 40 other women wrote a letter opposed to the protection of the of Girls and Women in Sports Act. This act would require people to... Dudes couldn't compete against women. And these women are against that.

They want men in women's sports. You'll remember in 2017, an under 15 boys soccer team crushed the women's national team five to two. So 14-year-old boys. And this is the only thing that will end the madness is just to have all men. And soccer just have one team with 11 men

On this Tuesday, the Clarence Thomas thing is illuminating and once again shows how wicked the American media really is. The justice allowed his longtime friend Harlan Crow, a wealthy Texan, to pick up some vacation expenses over the years. Mr. Crow had no business with the court. Apparently, there was no Supreme Court, edict against that until fairly recently, so Thomas believes he did nothing wrong by accepting his friend's largesse. It was interesting to see Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez jumped the line

in hammering Clarence Thomas, even though she accepted freebies in a museum controversy last year where she was scolded by the House Ethics Committee. But as Barbara Streisand once sang, misty water-colored memories, right? Congresswoman? But it is a civilian Harlan Crow really is being worked over. The media painting him as a Nazi sympathizer because he is a copy of Hitler's book, Mein Kampf, signed by the mass murderer. Well, I know this story firsthand because I visited Mr. Crow's home and saw his historical collection. Yeah, he has stuff from heinous villains, but that's history. But he has

much more documentation and letters, things like that, from American heroes. Nevertheless, the left-wing media demonizing Harlan Crow because he's friends with Justice Thomas. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

There's no comparison on what's happening today. I wish more people would discuss this. in some way to drive home the seriousness of it. People know. I mean, the people who live in a bubble and don't pay attention, Renard, they don't know, but they don't care. But anyone aware knows the division.

Teresa Concierge member, thank you, Teresa. I have never seen this country be in a situation that it is. We can't talk to each other without being labeled a racist.

On this day in 1970, a third mission. to the moon launched from Florida. After a massive explosion in deep space, thousands of people worked heroically to bring the astronauts home. Of course, they never made it to the moon. Here is the story of Apollo 13. The crew consisted of Commander James Lovell, lunar module pilot Fred Hayes, and command module pilot Jack Swigert. On April 11, 1970, the three-man team took off from Cape Canaveral without incident. Two days later, the astronauts were performing routine maintenance operations when the main oxygen tank exploded. They were 200,000 miles from Earth. Captain Lovell's iconic statement of Mission Control, Houston, we have a problem. For the next 72 hours, Lovell huddled

with his crew in the freezing spaceship. Mission Control spent this time frantically trying to create a procedure that would allow the astronauts to land safely in the Pacific Ocean and spare their lives. A new mission was developed. The team quickly converted the lunar landing module into a lifeboat. It was a rough journey home. Each crew member lost an average of 10 pounds. Haste developed a kidney infection, but the small vessel carried the crew long enough to reach the Earth's atmosphere. The astronauts blasts safely into the Pacific Ocean near Samoa on April 17th. It was later determined that a small wiring defect led to the explosion. The design flaw occurred two years before the spacecraft even took off, but it was never uncovered. And here's something

else you might not know. In total, the Apollo program cost taxpayers $100 billion, in today's currency, but it might have been worth it. Between 1961 and 72, NASA made the following scientific advancements.
