white house correspondence dinner 80 tornadoes yemen shoots down drone and canceled a commencement that's all coming up then bill's going to be here with your message of the day but first the white house correspondent's dinner was this last weekend very awkward event joe biden did a little stand-up routine he said my wife said are you sure you want to speak at the event and i told her don't worry it's just like riding a bike and she said that's what i'm worried about because he fell off his bike a couple years him. He said, of course, the 2024 elections in full swing, and yes, age is an issue. I'm a grown man running against a six-year-old. He then said, my vice president actually endorses me. Yuck, yuck. Biden did an interview with Howard Stern. Howard Stern asked Joe if he's going to debate Trump. He said, I am somewhere. I don't know when, but I'm happy to debate him. Donald Trump responded on truth social. Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he's willing to debate. Everyone knows he doesn't really mean it, but in case he does, I say anywhere, anytime, any place, an old expression used by fighters. The Houthis in Yemen claim they've shot down a U.S. Reaper drone with a

surface-to-air missile. These drones are $30 million a pop. The Houthis have launched more than 50 attacks on ships in the Red Sea and they have not stopped. At least three people have been killed, including an infant from the tornadoes across Oklahoma, Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, and Arkansas, saw over 80 tornadoes over at least five states. One Omaha residents said we were in the downstairs bathtub, and it was just like the movie said it was like a freight train. And you knew that the roof was coming off because there was a loud pop and sucking sound.

It was pretty scary, I'd say. USC canceled their commencement address because of the pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian protests. 56,000 people usually come to campus for graduation, but not this year. To make matters messier, USC chooses their valedictorian. from 100 applicants with near perfect GPAs, and they choose which one's going to speak.

This was before this whole protest thing popped off. And as the LA Times put it, they chose a hijab-wearing Muslim daughter of Indian immigrants, a biomedical engineering major with a passion for social justice who minored in resistance to genocide. That's a real minor at USC. One professor at USC said universities are under a right-wing attack.

A right-wing attack. Could you imagine if Bill O'Reilly was the president of one of these universities? I'm Mike Slater from politics by Faith Bill O'Reilly as your message of the day. Next.

On this Monday, you may have heard that the Supreme Court is deliberating over presidential immunity. Now, this is a very, very important case for all Americans. It's basically a legal system that would allow a president very wide latitude to conduct affairs while in office and not be held accountable for what he does after he leaves office. Let me give you an example, very vivid example.

You know, I wrote the book, Killing Lincoln. Well, during the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas. Corpus. That means he ordered Union troops to break into any house they wanted to break into and arrest people without warrants and the people didn't get lawyers. Well, the Supreme Court told Lincoln, stop it, you can't do it. Lincoln defied the court. Now, at the time, obviously, in the middle of a civil war. But after that, after the North won, there wasn't even a whisper of holding Abraham Lincoln accountable for his actions. That's what's in play now.

President Trump and his lawyers say that on January 6th, he was carrying out his duty by telling the nation he thought the 2020 vote was a fraud, and he had a right to do that without being prosecuted as he is being now. That's what the Supreme Court will decide probably by late June. 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. Now let's go to the mail. John, concierge member, Bill, do we still have a functioning legal system in America? What do you think it will take to put Humpty Dumpty back on the wall? Rapture or World War III? Look, certain states have effective legal systems, mostly the smaller conservative states. New York does not.

Total collapse the justice system here in New York. California, same thing. Massachusetts is not as bad. Illinois, terrible. Go state by state by state. Feds, as corrupt as it comes. Justice Department, got to clean them all out. If Trump wins, he'll clean them all out.

If Biden wins, it'll get more corrupt. Okay, Vincent Bickler, Beechwood, New Jersey as a recovering problem gambler, whose life was saved by a self-help program Gamblers Anonymous at age 32. I was disappointed you did not mention that young man can secure help from their addictive gambling. If they do not stop the madness, there are certain outcomes. Prison, mental breakdown, or death. Yeah, I know. I mean, I should have said Gamblers Anonymous is available. I kind of assume people, know that, particularly because every television commercial and radio commercial promoting gambling as a view of a gambling problem, but I'm glad you wrote. Richard Rogers, Garland, Texas.

Hey, Bill, you saw George Soros' son at the Knicks game, but you didn't know it was him. Correct. I would like to think even if you had known it was him, you would have been polite and civil. I would have. Not the appropriate venue to address the guy down. Okay, and I wouldn't have done that. In a moment, something you might not know.

you something you might not know. 32 years ago today, four Los Angeles policemen, three of them white were acquitted of the brutal beating of Rodney King, even though it was captured on video. jury's decision kicked off six days of carnage in one of America's biggest cities. Here is the story of the L.A. riots, and I was on the scene. One year earlier, Rodney King, a black American on parole for robbery, led police on a high-speed chase. When the LAPD finally stopped him, Rodney was beaten for 15 minutes. The incident was caught on camera by a random citizen from his apartment window. The cops claimed King was on drugs and resisting arrest, but the tape showed otherwise. The attack left Rodney with a fractured skull, missing teeth,

a broken ankle, and permanent brain damage. The police were charged with excessive use of force. The trial took a year. On April 29, 1992, a mostly white jury found the cops not guilty. The verdict was announced at 3 p.m. by 6 o'clock, L.A. was engulfed in violence. Residents set fires, destroyed liquor stores, supermarkets, shops, and restaurants. Light-skinned motorists, both white and Latino, were dragged from their cars and beaten. 36 hours later, Rodney King himself appealed for peace, asking news cameras, quote, Can we all just get along? During the six days of unrest, more than 60 people died.

3,000 injured, 12,000 looters arrested. Economists believe the episode cost L.A. 1 billion dollars in property damage. And here's something else you might not know. Rodney King struggled with addiction for the rest of his life. He was routinely pulled over and cited for driving erratically, often under the influence of narcotics. King was found dead at the bottom of the swimming pool in 2012 at the age of 47. The coroner ruled his death an accidental drowning due to a lethal combination of drugs and alcohol. Back after this.
