Here's what's happening today in America. protests spread interest rates stay the same it's not an 1864 law and nine-year-old saves parents lives that's all coming up and bill's going to be here with your message of the day but first at least 400 people have been arrested on college campuses as schools and cities start to crack down university of arizona police used rubber bullets and pepper spray NYU the arrests there more than

half of them so majority were not students faculty or staff i still can't get over the Columbia Ph.D. student who, after locking themselves in a building, said that they demand the university, bring them humanitarian aid. They meant food, but they called it humanitarian aid. They're all just cosplaying as Palestinian refugees. Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, criticized law enforcement for being too slow in their response at UCLA. The Federal Reserve said they are keeping interest rates the same. That's six straight meetings where they haven't moved it, and suggested that rates will stay this high for a while. Inflation is around 2.7% above the Fed's 2% inflation goal.

You're going to hear a lot of headlines today. Arizona Senate passes repeal of 1864 abortion ban. It's not an 1864 abortion ban. That was the initial law. But there was a recodification of that law. Just the same thing with updated language in 1977. And it was passed in an Arizona state house and Senate that was majority Democrat, signed by a Democrat governor. That 1977 ban on abortion.

One of those then House members is now 81 and in the Arizona Senate. Republicans control the Arizona House and Senate, but three Republicans in the House joined the Democrats and two Republicans in the Senate. This issue will be on the ballot in November. A husband and wife in Oklahoma are in the ICU right now with broken backs and necks, but they have their nine-year-old son to thank for their lives. They were driving down a highway in Oklahoma when a tornado picked up their truck and slammed it into a tree. Mom and dad were wrecked, but their nine-year-old got out of the truck, ran over a mile in the dark, threw downed power lines and debris to get help. He made it to someone's house who then were able to call for help. The only way he made it back in the dark

was the lightning strikes lighting his way. The last thing he told his parents before running off for help, mom, dad, please don't die. I'll be back. Bill O'Reilly with your message of the day.

On this Thursday, the Joe and Kamala softball tour continues, with the vice president appearing

on Drew Barrymore's morning television show. I don't know Ms. Barrymore, but she looks like a nice person. However, political chats might not be her forte. From the jump, the Drew Kamala interview was, well, a box of chocolates to quote Forrest Gump. Drew saying, quote, we all need a mom. I've been thinking that we all need a tremendous hug. But in our country, we need you to be mamala of the country. To which the vice president replied, yeah.

Now, that exchange wasn't at the level of the Joe Biden-Hawood-Stern smoochorama, but it was close. Mamala and Drew bonded just as Joe and Howie did. Hugs all around. Yes, it is an election year, and the Democrats know they have a vast, safe space with the American media. At this point, the Biden campaign understands it can avoid all tough questioning, kind of like what Putin does. Will this hugs strategy work? I don't think so.

Joe and Kamala look weak participating in the media nonsense. And besides, shouldn't Trump be getting a few hugs? Let's call it Tramala or something. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. can reach me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town if you wish to opine. All right, let's get to the mail. We got Lisa Wood in Lee's Summit, Missouri. Mr. Oh, I've heard you say many times that President Biden is the second worst behind James Buchanan.

I'm paying an extreme amount for groceries, can't afford to eat out. I'm afraid my daughter's safety when she goes out with friends at night. And I'm worried about the future of the country as we may have 10 million unknown immigrants in here yet the stock market continues to set records can you explain yeah i can explain the stock market is not tied in to social maladies it's tied into economics as far as who's making money so big corporations around the world are making money consumers continue to spend even in america even when you don't have any money you're spending it yourself into debt, but you're spending. And that keeps the stock market up and the country out of recession. So as long as consumers continue to spend money in America, the stock

market will be steady. Once they cut back, whop. David Hogue Zemma, Glenwood, Maryland. Bill, your viewers would love to hear your current perspective. on a Trump VP pick? Is there a candidate that could tip the scales? Look, I've said it 10 times. I know you guys can't watch every show. I know that. But Governor Sanders, Huckabee, Huckabee Sanders in Arkansas would be my pick. Most upside. And now that Christine Nolm is out of it because she executed her dog. I shouldn't laugh. But boy, we went over it yesterday. But anyway, but will Trump pay, Trump is so unpredictable, nobody could bet. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 488 years ago today, the Queen of England was arrested and taken to the horrible Tower of London. The detention was ordered by her husband, the diabolical King Henry the 8th.

Here is the story of Anne Bolin. In 1522, Henry became obsessed with young Anne after meeting her at a royal party. The smitten king initiated secret proceedings to obtain an annulment from his first wife, Catherine. The Pope refused that request. In 1533, the Archbishop of Canterbury, a coward, ignored the Vatican, granting Henry his annulment, and performing marriage rights between the King and Miss Bolin. Ten months later, Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church, appointing himself as the supreme head of what would become the Church of England, Anglican, here in the United States. The schism caused religious chaos for the next two centuries in Europe. Once married, Henry quickly lost interest in his new bride and began liaisons with other women.

On May 2, 1536, the king had Anne committed to the tower. She was charged with adultery and incest for allegedly having an affair with her own brother. Both allegations were false. But a sham trial found her guilty. The execution of a queen for treason was unprecedented in British history. Henry VIII ordered the deed to take place within the confines of the prison rather than in public view. On the 19th of May, 1536, Anne Boleyn was beheaded. And here's something else you might not know.

Anne was loyal to her husband until the end. For final words, quote, I pray God save the king for a gentler nor a more merciful prince there never was. Crazy? You bet. Henry VIII was far from loyal. He married his next wife, Jane Seymour, 11 days after Anne Boleyn's execution. The honeymoon must have been a blast.
