prisoner swap, VP rumors, smuggled bomb, and border lies. That is all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Wall Street Journal reporter and a former Marine were among two dozen people from seven different countries who were involved in a prisoner swap. Russia received eight prisoners. They released 16. President Biden thanked Germany, Poland, Slovenia, Norway, and Turkey for being involved

in the negotiations. told the deal was made right around the time that Biden announced he was not running for reelection. In vice president news, the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, who by the way tweeted in the past that trans women are women, which means men are women. I mentioned that with the boxer with XY chromosomes beating up on that Italian woman yesterday in the boxing ring. Anyway, Josh Shapiro canceled fundraising trips in the Hamptons that were set for this weekend. We're told that Kamala will make her VP pick by Monday. Shapiro would be a solid pick for her.

It would help in Pennsylvania, of course. But it's going to be interesting to see what the pro-Hamas wing of the Democratic Party does with a Jewish pro-Israel man on the ticket. The top leader of Hamas who was killed on Wednesday, we now know how he was killed. A bomb was covertly smuggled into a guest house in Tehran where he was staying. The bomb was hidden two months ago. The guest house is run and protected by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard. The leader of Hamas was in Iran's capital for the presidential inauguration, and the bomb was detonated remotely.

The media, of course, is in the tank for Kamala, and they are celebrating that the Border Patrol made roughly 56,000 illegal alien apprehensions between ports of entry at the U.S.-Mexican border in July. That's the lowest number since September 2020. The White House has taken credit, of course. But just so you know, this number does not include people who came into America at a port. port of entry via the Border Patrol's CBP1 app, which allows 1,500 per day, so it's another 45,000 a month. This number also doesn't include people who came into our airports, 40,000 from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. This is called the humanitarian parole program. Add all that up, we got 140,000 a month. Olympic medal update. China has 11 gold medals. We have

nine, but we have 37 overall, France and second with 27. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day. Next. 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.

Chances are you don't know who she is, but President Biden has trusted her advice and judgment for years. Upon announcing her departure, she thanked Joe Biden for all he, done to the American people. I expected that, but it got my analytic mind revved up. So what has the Biden administration featuring Vice President Kamala done for me exactly? First of all, I'm not doing an ego exercise here. I'm a hardworking, honest American, who gives a lot to charity, helps my kids, tries to be a good neighbor. That's my profile. I think I share that with much of my audience, perhaps even with Anita Dunn. Let's see, my food and gas bills are

up significantly on Joe Biden's watch. Car and house insurance premiums are now officially insane. Social order in New York City, just 10 miles away from me, has collapsed. My taxes are painful, and they never end. Despite that, Joe Biden is adding $1 trillion to the national debt every six months. Despite the massive government spending, a new report says the U.S. military is not strong enough to sustain a war with China. Drug addiction is surging on Long Island, as Biden's open border policy assures plenty of fentanyl, cocaine, and heroin to kill people. Dope dealers are considered low-level criminals. I could go on and on, but I don't know what Joe Biden has done for me. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me.

I guess you were over in the Middle East. And I loved and respected all my soldiers, regardless of race, gender, or any other physical characteristic. We depended on each other in some very tight situations, and none of us cared one wit about race. This is what it means to be Americans. And I hope that holds in the military.

I think it does today. I don't hear a lot of race stuff coming out of the military. Thank God, right? Anne, concierge member, thank you, Anne. Love your take on White Dudes for Kamala by renaming it white duds for Kamala I got a big laugh out of that

okay once in a while I can provide that levity we have Vicki Menteer Rancho Santa Fe, California, very nice town low information voters do not seek out alternative views and my greatest fears that our voices are so outnumber that Kamala Harris may win

Do you share that concern? Sure. I don't want Kamala Harris to be president. I've been flat out upfront about that. She have a chance? Yeah. Okay, so that's where we are. The debate, remember the debate. That'll tell the tell. Tony D., College Point, New York, just finished killing Lincoln. Quick question, could the Civil War have been avoided? And will that question be addressed in your upcoming book confronting the presidency? It will be, Tony. Civil War up to Lincoln had three-week presidents before Lakin in a row. If those presidents had figured out the South was building in military strength and taken action early on, civil war would not have happened. We have it in confronting the presidents out September 10th.

Listen and subscribe on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. It is one of the great mysteries

of the universe that corporate media companies and Hollywood celebrities are so rabid in their support of far-left Democrats. For the last two weeks, the rich and famous have coalesced around Kamala Harris. Here are some examples. Michelle and Barack Obama have endorsed her, said Ms. Obama, quote, I'm proud of my girl, Kamala. We've got your back, unquote. the insipid George Clooney, quote, President Biden has shown what true leadership is. He's saving our democracy once again. We're also excited to do whatever we can do

to support Kamala Harris in her historic quest. Beyonce, thank you, President Biden for your service and leadership. Kamala Harris, for president, let's go. Barbara Streisand, Kamala Harris will continue Joe Biden's work and will be a great president. Spike Lee, once again a sister, comes to the rescue. John Legend, she's ready for the fight, and I'm excited to help her any way I can't. Other celebrities openly jumping on the Kamala bandwagon, including Mark Hamill, Rob Reiner, Stephen King, Jamie Lee Curtis, Rosie O'Donnell.

And here's something else you might not know. It is somewhat ironic that Democrats, who often accused Donald Trump of destroying democracy, have anointed a candidate who did not receive a single vote in this year's primaries. Also, in 2020, Kamala Harris did not win a primary or gain any presidential delegates whatsoever. ever, she finished dead last behind Biden, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Michael Bloomberg, and Pete Buttigieg. But now, Vice President Harris will be the Democratic nominee to take on Donald Trump. Hollywood, the corporate press, and the nation's biggest donors will do everything they can to put Ms. Harris in the White House.
