Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, May 21st, 2025. Here's this happening today in America. The Golden Dome. Supreme Court win from Maine, another inmate caught, and DOJ investigating Chicago. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Donald Trump unveiled his plans to build a massive missile defense protection system over America. The Golden Dome, he calls it. Trump began calling for a U.S. missile defense shield, similar to Israel's Iron Dome, after watching Israel deflect missiles and drones from Iran's attacks last year. Now, some are saying, we don't need this. We're protected by two giant oceans, but Trump said there is a threat by ballistic, hypersonic, and cruise missiles and other advanced aerial

attacks, and it remains the most catastrophic threat facing the United States. He said we need to rapidly develop and feel the dependable umbrella of protection for our homeland. The Supreme Court just ordered the main state legislature to revoke its censure of one of their representatives, Laurel Libby. The state rep was censured by the legislature for posting on her personal social media account a picture of a boy pretending to be a girl on the top of a podium at a girl's track and field event. She was censured and therefore isn't allowed to vote and hasn't been able to do anything as a legislator. Now, Libby was told that her censure would end if she apologized for the post.

She has refused to do so. Supreme Court ruled on her side. Another one of the prisoners of the New Orleans jailbreak have been caught, but there's still six on the loose. Also a maintenance worker at that jail where 10 inmates escaped. He's been arrested, accused of helping facilitate the breakout. Sterling Williams is his name 33 years old. He's a maintenance worker at the jail. he allegedly shut off the water to the toilet to help clear the way for the inmates to escape.

The six that are on the loose still, four of them are convicted murderers. We mentioned yesterday that the mayor of Chicago, Brandon Johnson, was bragging about how he only hires our people. He said, we're the most generous people on the planet. That was just yesterday. Well, the Department of Justice is launching an investigation in the city of Chicago in their hiring practices. the new head of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division said that the investigation is, quote, based on information suggesting that you have made hiring decisions based solely on the basis of race. The information suggesting such a thing is him saying it. The letter also pointed to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which is a federal law that prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin.

predictably, the corrupt U.S. media put a negative spin on the Trump-Putin Ukraine call on Monday. The anti-Trump line is same old as the president did not get a ceasefire out of bad Vlad. Instead, more negotiations have been set. Here's some perspective the corporate press will never provide. Donald Trump genuinely wants the killing in Ukraine to stop. He understands that only Putin can make that a reality. No other option exists. So Mr. Trump is allowing the evil Russian far more latitude than he usually would.

Essentially, the president is hoping. Now, I believe, but cannot state with absolute certainty that Donald Trump knows the evil he is dealing with here. If you read my upcoming book, confronting evil, you will see that Vlad Putin is on the cover and you will understand that he is a no remorse killer. Rehab is not going to happen. But if Vlad can get some Ukrainian territory and walk away with a favorable trade deal, it might be enough. Certainly, that's an appeasement.

Is it worth it? Yes. If the West moves against Vlad and it may have to, chaos will ensue. So there you go. Trump's critics have nothing, as usual. Kind of boring at this point. 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 dot com name in town if you wish to opine let us go to the mail we got martha concierge member thank you marty direct access to me fabulous father's day gift fabulous uh bill if i recall it was a highly aggressive form of prostate cancer that can happen very fast uh joe bide may not have any on in 2004 at his physical possible, but let's see. Okay, let's get the test, find out what all that is about. Marta Fair. Don, concierge member. Thank you, Don. Thank you, Bill, for not being hateful in your assessment of Joe Biden. So many comments have come to my eye that went beyond caring. No one deserves a deadly disease. You're absolutely right, Don. We do not do that here.

David, concierge member. And I don't pick concierge member mail. I just come in. I think it's because concierge members are very smart. That's what I'm throwing at. I do not believe not for a second that Joe Biden desperately wanted to win a second term. I believe he didn't even want his first term. I believe Jill Biden and a handful of other far-lipped progressives coerced Biden into running for their own power grab.

Well, people believe what they want to believe, David, the record is. not show that, and I believe that you're wrong, but we have a respectful disagreement. Bruce Toes, Winnipeg, Canada, sorry about the Jets, they're eliminated, right? I think Edmonton is in there. Cover up misdirection and so on in presidential health reports and nothing new. Remember in the first term when Donald Trump dictated the results of his health checkup to his doctor, you may say that we only have his doctor's word on that, but look at the wording of the report. It's got Trump's fingerprints all. over it. Bruce, I didn't see it. Sorry. I didn't see any fraud at all on that. And believe me,

if anybody had seen it, it would have been front page news all over the USA and Canada. In a moment, something you might not know. This MailChimp-Forific jingle is brought to you by MailChimp.

On this day in 1992, America's favorite late-night host signed off for the last time. After 30 years on top, Johnny Carson said goodbye. Here is the story.
