Bill O'Reilly here. Tuesday, August 2nd, 2022. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Here's what's happening across our nation. The U.S. takes out al-Qaeda's top leader. Nancy Pelosi travels to Asia. The first capital rioter to stand trial sentenced. New Orleans becomes one of the most dangerous cities in the world. Also ahead, what I would like to ask, President Biden. But first, the CIA drone strike in Afghanistan, killing al-Qaeda leader Al-A Zarahiri. President Biden confirming, quote, the United States conducted a counterterrorism operation against a significant target. Al-Zawahiri was killed in the operation, unquote. That terrorist often appeared in threatening videos released after the 9-11 attacks. He assumed control of al-Qaeda in

2011 after the death of Osama bin Laden. Speaker Nancy Pelosi may stop in Taiwan during her trip in Asia. Officials there confirming the visit despite warnings from communist China. Pelosi will be the first House Speaker to tour the island in 25 years. China demanding Ms. Pelosi cancel Her Taiwan excursions said the communists in Beijing, quote, The People's Liberation Army will not sit idly by, unquote. The first person to stand trial in the January 6th Capitol Riot sentenced to seven years in prison. 49-year-old Guy Reffitt found guilty of leading a Texas militia outfit called three percenters. apparently Mr. Refford had a gun on him during the riot.

Now, that 3% group formed the first wave of protesters to storm the Capitol. In total, 850 Americans have been charged in connection with the January 6th riot. The murder rate in New Orleans on track to be one of the highest in the world. The city reports 74 homicides per 100,000 residents. By comparison, I figure falls to 18 in Chicago, six in L.A. The Big Easy is now the ninth most dangerous place on the planet. Homicides in New Orleans up 85% in the last two years because of far-lift politicians and radical DAs who are allowing violent criminals to run wild in New Orleans. In a moment.

My questions for Joe Biden? Right back. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. Theroux, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, boy, would I like to interview President Biden? Throughout my career, I've interviewed seven presidents, only Ms. Ronald Reagan, who didn't do many one-on-one chats with journalists.

These conversations were my most difficult assignments. You should ask tough questions and push for answers when you talk to the chief executive, but you have to be respectful of the office and I always was. President Biden will never speak with me. While he was vice president, I ran into him at a Washington, D.C. event. After some pleasantries, I pointed out that his boss, President Obama, had granted me three interviews, but he would not consent to one. I acted hurt. Mr. Biden laughed and said, why would I do the interview? You don't need me.

For fun, I answered. Smiling, he strolled away. So it is a hopeless cause. As Bush, the elder once said, not going to do it. But in my mind, I have a line of questioning, and I am submitting to you, the listener, a fantasy Q&A. Let's begin. Mr. President, lots of bad news for the country. How are you holding up? President Biden. Listen,

dog-faced pony soldier. The only bad news is you. No joke. I'm not being facetious. You in the prior administration caused all the problems. What problems are those, Mr. President? Look, we have a secure border. I mean it. You say it's open. Just because millions of folks are crossing, it's not open. They have to swim. And what is all this recession stuff, O'Reilly? The GPS is fine. It is, in fact, working. And gas prices are temporary.

I like muscle cars, okay, and there's plenty of gas in the reserve to fill them up. With respect on the border, Mr. President, about five times as many undocumented migrants are crossing yearly than under your predecessor. That guy? He ripped babies from their mother's book. No joke. I saw it on CNN. Kamala told me at lunch she is, in fact, close to finding the root cause of illegal immigration. In the meantime, we are flying thousands of folks free to wherever they want to go. And they don't even have to pass through security. What a great deal that is. Did Trump do that? On that note, Mr. President, American commercial planes are having trouble getting off the ground. Are you aware of that? Hey, come on. The migrant flights at 3 a.m. have no trouble at all. What's this all about, champ? Massive flight delays, sir. PDB, the Secretary of Airports, says he's on it. What's his last name again? Buddha, Judge Judy. You know him. He's a sacred guy. He has a sacred obligation.

Overseas, Mr. President, in hindsight. Should the USA have handled the Afghan withdrawal better? Are you kidding me, Pony Guy? There was no withdrawal. The Afghans still lived there. I was speaking about how our troops left. They all flew back and landed just like the migrants. Only our troops could fly during the day. I'm Bill O'Reilly, and I approve that message by writing it.
