But first, after the 2017 mass murder in Las Vegas, the ATF, alcohol, tobacco firearms, declared that bump stocks are machine guns. A bump stock is an accessory that you put to a semi-automatic rifle where the recoil of the gun causes you to pull the trigger faster than you otherwise could on your own.

And the ATF declared that a machine gun. that piece, that the accessory is a machine gun, therefore made them illegal. But the Supreme Court just said six to three that a part can't be a machine gun. A machine gun is a gun that can fire more than one shot automatically by a single function of the trigger. That's what the law says. But the bump stock is not a gun and you still have to pull the trigger every time. One trigger pulled for one bullet.

Clarence Thomas said that the bumpstock merely reduces the amount of time that elapses between separate functions of the trigger. Joe Biden had a big Hollywood fundraiser on Saturday. George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Barbara Streisand, 7,100 people at the Peacock Theater in L.A. Jimmy Kimmel hosted a conversation between Biden and Obama. The last big fundraiser for Joe Biden was at Radio City Music Hall. They raised $26 million.

This one raised $28 million. The federal government has been investigating a Southwest Airlines flight after it plunged towards the ocean off the coast of Hawaii. This occurred on April 11th, but it only became possible. public now, when Southwest sent a memo to pilots about the incident. The memo indicated that a newer first officer was flying at the time and inadvertently pushed forward on the control column. The plane was only 400 feet above the water.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Monday, let's talk Vice President Kamala Harris. So Politico did a poll. Politico leans left. It's a website of almost 4,000 registered voters in the USA. That's a big crew. And the sample is fair.

39% Democrat, 37, Republican, Independent, 24. Question number one, do you have a favorable impression of Kamala Harris? 42% say yes, they like her. 52% don't like her. Okay, 2% have never heard of Kamala Harris. Where are those people? I want to go to that beach. Second question, in your opinion.

how likely is it that Kamala Harris would win an election for president likely 34 not likely 57 don't know nine next question in your opinion would Kamala Harris make a good president yes 40 percent that's democrats across the board no 51 don't know nine final question in your opinion should Joe Biden replace Kamala Harris for vice president yes 36. No, 39. Don't know 26. So here's a problem with Kamala Harris. She can't speak in a cogent way. That's it. She may be brilliant. I don't know, but she can't speak. She says the same thing over and over and then she giggles. 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. Scott Banning, Tucson, Arizona. Hey, Bill. I always enjoy your episodes where you report the U.S. presidential betting odds overseas. Okay, Trump is the favorite in England. You can bet on the presidential

race in England, not in the United States. The illegal here. So Ladbroke is the big betting house in London. They got Trump a pretty big favorite right now. over Biden. John Gennon, New Orleans, Louisiana. I remember when Trump is running in 20, promised if he were reelected, he would use his second term to slash federal spending. I hope he still plans to keep his word. I'm not sure. The military really needs to be upgraded as far as ships, planes, it's going to cost an unbelievable amount of money. So he'll cut Trump will, some of the social spending, but the military is the big spending. It's not going to be nearly what Biden is.

Biden's a record spending of all time. But I don't know if Trump's that invested in it. He will boost the military. Kathleen Burns, Cambridge, New York. Just signed up for a premium membership. Thank you, Kathleen. I've watched you on the NOSPN News for quite some time. Feel it's a breath of fresh air compared to the mainstream media.

I have a question. I get extremely frustrated watching these congressional hearings with Fauci, and Merrick Garland, nothing seems to happen. Will they ever get jail time? No, they're not going to get jail time. It's politics. What could you charge Fauci with? What could you charge Garland with? I mean, you'd have to launch a massive investigation, and the Biden administration is not going to do that. Trump wouldn't even do it. Trump could have lost a big investigation into what happened with Russian collusion, all that, but he didn't. So nothing will happen. This is all. letting you know who these people are.

And that's the worthiness of it. In a moment, something you might not know. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

Despite that loss, the rag-tag militia was able to inflict big casualties. against the well-trained British Army. Here is the story. In the aftermath of the battles of

Lexington and Concord in Massachusetts, British troops moved to secure the countryside surrounding Boston. One thousand Americans fortified themselves on top of bunker and breeds hill located on the Charlestown Peninsula. On June 17, 1775, the English attacked their position. Though the Redcoats outnumbered the Patriots two to one, the Americans withstood the initial barrage. The English retreated, regrouped, attacked a second time. The militia itself scattered. The skirmish lasted no more than two hours, but the result was gruesome. By the end of the battle, Patriot gunfire had killed 300 British troops, Another 800 wounded. More than 100 Americans perished, 500 wounded. One hero, the conflict, was a former

slave named Salem Poor, where it purchased his own freedom just months earlier. Though the Americans lost the Battle of Bunker Hill, it proved the Continental Army could inflict significant damage against the British. Back in London, King George realized war with the colonies would be a long bloody, expensive affair. In early July, General George Washington arrived in Cambridge, Massachusetts a few miles from Bunker Hill. He assumed command of the newly formed Continental Army. And here's something else you might not know. A future president of the United States watched the battle of Bunker Hill from a nearby plateau. The terrifying, the terrifying, residents of Boston viewed the skirmish from the tops of buildings and churches.

And the crowd included a seven-year-old boy named John Quincy Adams, who watched the conflict alongside his mother, Abigail. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
