Here's what's happening today in America. Slopey roofs. DNC money, Elon leaving, and Jack Black canceled. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the latest on the assassination attempt of Trump that missed by the slightest of a head tilt, the head of the Secret Service said one

why there was no one on that roof was because it was too sloped. She said there's a safety factor that needs to be considered there. We wouldn't want to put somebody on a sloped roof that is such an asinine lie directly to your face. I talked to someone who's been in the roof in business for 50 years. He said that's a 212 pitched roof not much deeper than a handicapped ramp. Plus, there was the other roof that had the Secret Service snipers on it.

That is so absurd for them to lie to your face like that. It reports also that there were snipers in that same building or an adjacent building looking for anything amiss in the crowd. So this assassin was above them. The Democrats have announced $15 million of investments going into swing states, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, each getting about $2 million. Meanwhile, Elon Musk has pledged $45 million a month to a Donald Trump's super PAC.

Speaking of Elon, he wrote on Twitter, quote, this is the final straw. Because of this law and many others that have preceded it, attacking both families and companies, SpaceX will now move its headquarters from Hawthorne, California to Starbase, Texas. And X headquarters will move to Austin. What law? Newsom signed the bill that would make it illegal for school administrators to tell parents if their child goes by different pronouns or is socially transitioning or going by a different name in school. No parental notification if your child has gendered dysphoria. Elon says, we're out. Jack Black, he's in a band called Tenacious D, and they were up on stage in

Australia and the other guy was blowing out a birthday cake candle and said my wish don't miss Trump next time. Tenacious Dias canceled the rest of their tour. Kyle Gass has apologized. He said the line was highly inappropriate, dangerous, terrible mistake. I don't condone violence of any kind against anyone. What happened was a tragedy. I'm incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgment. I profoundly apologize to those I've let down and truly regret any pain that I've caused. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith, the great Bill O'Reilly. as your message of the day. Next. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

Vance is an interesting guy, traditional conservative, Marine Corvette, Yale Law School, Catholic convert, author, journalist, business guy. I'm almost short of breath writing this.

As Donald Trump's VP selection, Vance will immediately be lionized by Republicans and attacked by liberal Democrats. Not sure personal mud will be thrown so close to the shooting, but it would not be surprising. As far as votes are concerned, doesn't seem like the Ohio guy will move that needle a lot. However, he will give Kamala Harris some jazz in the debate, certainly. Now, I don't know, Vance, never met him, but he's not boring. In fact, the Trump Vance ticket may be the liveliest in the history of the United States. Looks like Republicans are going for mega domination here. Don't think the New York Times or NBC News will approve, and perhaps that is why Donald Trump selected Mr. Vance.

one phrase. In your face. About 160 million Americans voted in 2020. That's a lot of faces. But at this point, the race seems to be pretty close. Whether J.D. Vance can put Trump over the top is unknown and will be until the day after we vote. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I 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. Let's go to the mail. We got Tim McSherry, man, out in Beach, California. President Biden is responsible for the Trump shooting. The past four years of rhetoric from Biden contributed to this event with the impressionable sick young man. All right. If you're going to say that, Tim, then you have to say if the reversal happened,

and Biden was shot, that some of Trump's rhetoric led to that. Are you willing to do that? Okay. Bart, Bill, I agree that Biden was not literally responsible for the attempt to assassination of Trump, but Biden is one of the leaders of your so-called hate brigade. Okay, I'm not going to dispute that. Nobody has done more aggressive reporting on President Biden than me. Robert, Trump didn't go overboard.

He took the gloves off due to Biden's Justice Department. However, he never demonized Biden. Robert. I mean, look, I can come up with 10 minutes solid of Donald Trump demonizing Joe Biden. I'm not going to do it because everybody knows that he has done that. You believe in what you want to believe, but we've got to get in the real world here. Brian Lindner, Rio, Wisconsin. While I get your point about over-the-top rhetoric coming from both sides,

I feel you were comparing apples to oranges. The left-southraged's comments are coming from mainstream networks and cable shows. You had to dig down and get right-wing podcasters who admit have reach to find anyone pushing the envelope. So what? Hate is hate. Yeah, you're right. corporate media and they're the ones I'm going after hardest, but hate is hate. In a moment, something you might not know.

Five years ago today, a judge in New York, sentenced one of the most dangerous men in the world to life in prison. The decision ended his leadership of Mexico's deadliest drug cartel. Here is the story of El Chapo.

Born in 1957 to a family of middle class farmers, Joaquin Guzman, was dubbed El Chapo because of his limited height. The name is Mexican slang for Shorty. El Chapo began selling pot in the 1970s, then cocaine, then heroin. By the 80s, El Chapo controlled the Sinaloa cartel, named after the Mexican state of his birth. Under his leadership, the organization controlled the largest drug smuggling operation in the world. At its height, Chapo's gang generated $40 billion in annual revenue. To maintain control, his gangsters killed more than that. than 40,000 people. Guzman was arrested in 1993, but predictably escaped a Mexican prison.

After 15 years on the run, he was arrested again. Fearing another escape, he was extradited to the USA to face charges of drug trafficking, money laundering, kidnapping, extortion, and murder. On July 17, 2019, El Chapo was sentenced to life in prison. plus another 30 years. It was also ordered to pay $12 billion in damages to the United States government. The 67-year-old smuggler remains incarcerated at a supermax federal prison in Colorado. He will never see freedom again. And here's something else you might not know.

Today, the Mexican cartels are more powerful than ever. the open border has generated billions of dollars in extra drug revenue now there are 25 different cartels in total they make a hundred billion dollars every year through drug smuggling human trafficking and corruption the result five of the ten most dangerous cities in the world are in mexico back after this of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.
