Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It's Monday, July 22nd, 2024. Here's what's happening today.

In America, Jill Biden drops out of presidential race. Trump's statement, flights canceled, and church burned. That's all coming up. And Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Joe Biden said, it has been the greatest honor of my lifetime to serve as president. And while it's been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it's in the best interest of my party and of the country

for me to stand down and focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term. In his first statement, he did. not endorse Kamala. First obvious point, if he's not well enough to run for office again, how is he well enough to be president? There's 105 days until election day, but 184 days until the inauguration. He's still going to be president for another half a year. But then he later tweeted out, today I want to offer my full support endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats, it's time to come together and beat Trump. Let's do this. But just because

Joe says so doesn't automatically make Kamala the nominee. The New York Times editorial board said that party delegates should have a voice and a decision of this consequence. There's other qualified Democrats who could take on Mr. Trump and win. Donald Trump said, I think she's no better than him. She could be far less competent, which is hard to believe. The policies, whether it's him or her, wouldn't be any different. She was in charge of the border.

She was the border czar. She was the worst ever, the worst ever. we had the worst border ever so that wouldn't matter more than 1,500 flights have been canceled for the third day straight 8,500 delayed but that's believe it or not an improvement from saturday 2,136 flights canceled and 21,000 were delayed on Saturday this outage affected 8.5 million windows devices according to Microsoft first baptist Dallas church. Baptist Church in Dallas, Texas, dating back to 1890, major fire broke out on Friday. The major portion of the church collapsed. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. The church yesterday worshipped at the convention center. Again, Joe Biden not seeking re-election.

He's still recovering from COVID in Delaware. That's why he has made no statements in person. The White House says he intends to by the end of the week. Follow Bill O'Reilly.com for the latest.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. So President Biden announced in the middle of a Sunday, strange, that he's not going to run for re-election. All right. So I wrote a column that columns on the website, Bill O'Reilly.com, and I wrote a column.

I posted a column seven hours before Joe Biden quit, and it basically says Joe Biden is through. All right? This is the end. I quoted the doors. I hope you read the column because people now are looking at me strangely. They're going, uh-oh. Is this Karnak, the magnificent, and old Johnny Carson thing? And I'm going to explain how I knew all of this was going to come down and our reporting verifies it.

So let's walk through it. Okay, so President Biden's been in the federal government for 52 years, right? He's 81 years old. He has never really been in charge at the White House, as we have extensively reported. It has been the people around him that run the government, and they are progressive people, very, very far left people. You do not know their names, even though I've reported their names five, ten times to you. You can look it up on bill o'Reilly.com.

It's a tight cabal of people that opened the border, that ignited inflation. Biden himself is just a figurehead. Yeah, he went to a few meetings, but he never really had grasp of the executive branch. So Biden calls it quits. Why? Did anybody tell him, anybody force him? No. If you go back to the debate, I wrote a column after the debate that predicted this was going to happen a little bit quicker than it did.

I didn't factor in Jill Biden. Jill Biden, she, her opposition to her husband resigning kept this going for longer than it would ordinarily have. You have a disastrous performance like the debate, you go, because you know that Americans see that, and you're not going to be able to overcome that. But Jill Biden, absolutely, and she has 100% control over her husband, 100%. No one gets to Joe Biden without Jill Biden being there. What happened? The polling was slipping fast. Just this morning, a Detroit news poll out of Michigan, obviously, had Biden down by seven against Trump in the swing state of Michigan. And I can give you, you just go to real clear politics.com, and you look at all the swing states are all in the Trump camp,

Virginia, and places like that. So the Democratic machine, the people who, do crunch the numbers. They knew that the slide was continuing. And then after President Trump got shot, he got a sympathy vote. And then the Republican Convention was very successful. Uniting, 90% of Republicans are united, according to the polls, behind Trump. There's no way Biden could beat him. Okay.

So the numbers people are basically coming in. And then Obama and George Clooney and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Chu. You know, I call them the liberal. mousketeers. They're all getting up on by. You got to go. You got to go. You've got to go. All right. Who could stand up to that? Nobody. Nobody could stand up. And if you don't believe me, when

my book, Confirning the Presidents comes out, you'll see what happened on Lyndon Johnson. He booted the Vietnam War. Totally booted it, Johnson. And they came to him, they said, you can't. You know, you're going to lose. We got to get Bobby Kennedy in here before Bobby Kennedy was

assassinated in 68. All right? And LBJ, Resign just like Biden. Same exact thing. You cannot go up against your own party. You can't. That's why Biden had to quit. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Kamala Harris is way further left than Joe Biden, but she's not going to show it now. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are thrilled. You have not even seen a leftist like you will see for Kamala Harris if she wins a presidency. It is beyond the pale how left-wing she is. Now, Biden did what the progressives told him to do it.

He did. It was a lot of damage. Real wages turned around, you know, it was terrible what has happened because of progressive policies. Kamala would be 10 times worse. Okay, so here's what Kamala said. She issued a statement. I said it was written way before today.

I'm honored to have the President's Adorson, and my intention is to earn and win the nomination. Over the last year, I've traveled across the country, talking with Americans about the clear choice in this momentous election. That is what I will continue to do in the days and weeks ahead. I'll do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party, unite our nation, feet Donald Trump, and his extreme project 2025 agenda. Love that.

We have 107 days to election day. Together we will fight. Together we will win. So they're going to try to pin this Heritage Foundation, 2025 agenda around Trump's neck. It used to me to MAGA now. It's going to be that. Okay. So what we have now is fairly predictable.

the vote. Trump against Kamala. The dynamic changes a little bit because Kamala has to pick a VP. And it's an important pick for her. She can't pick another woman. You can't have two women. She can't pick another person of color. Got to pay a white man. And Democrats and the progressors don't like that, but they have to do it. Not only have to pick a white man, but they have to pick someone who is moderate, not a progressive, so they can sell that. Kamala is really not that far left. Two names I'm going to throw out. And I don't have any inside info on this, but my gut tells me these guys are going to be considered.

Josh Shapiro, governor of Pennsylvania, Dems Need Pennsylvania. He's a pretty efficient governor. And Andrew Brecher of Kentucky, he's a Democratic governor in a sharply Republican. state. Very skilled politician. Keep your eyes on those two guys. But I don't know. I'm not reporting that now. I will have it down the lane. Back after this.
