Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It's Friday, May 24th, 2024. Here's this happening today in America.

Donald in the Bronx convention protests, SWAT raid and Cosmo Kramer making a comeback. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first Donald Trump spoke in front of a massive crowd in the South Bronx, 90-minute speech, something like 25,000 people there. You got to go listen to the whole speech. But I think the key line was when he said it doesn't matter whether you're black or brown or white or whatever the heck color you are. It doesn't matter. We're all Americans and we're going to pull together as Americans.

I think the best anecdote I've never heard before is when he told the story of meeting the man behind Levittown, William Levitt, and William Levitt was super successful, and then he sold his company, and then he got bored of early retirement and bought his company back, but then failed. It didn't work a second time. And a young Donald Trump asked him his advice, and Levitt said, I lost my momentum. Never lose your momentum. Speaking of Trump, his campaign has accused the secret service of a critical error while planning to protect the Republican National Committee Convention in Milwaukee. I was talking to the senator. from Wisconsin, Ron Johnson about this.

And he said that the Secret Service cordoned off this park right next to the building where the convention is. And everyone needs to walk through the park in order to get inside. And Republicans are just asking for an extra block between where the event is and the designated protest area. But the Secret Service says they don't have the authority to change the plan. Of course they do. The protest zone at the Democratic Convention is eight blocks away from the venue.

SWAT officers swarmed a house in San Diego. Jose, California, they found inside a mini Home Depot, $150,000 worth of items stolen from Home Depot stores. Home Depot spent nine months investigating these thefts, and then they handed all the information over to the local sheriff's office who executed a search warrant and arrested the suspect. More and more stores are doing the heavy lifting now beforehand to help law enforcement with these thefts, and it's about time we go after these criminals.

They're making everything more expensive for the rest of us. Cosmo Kramer, Michael Richards, might be making a comeback here. He did an interview with People magazine. It was 2006 when he said the N-word while on stage at that comedy club. 18 years ago, he's been silent ever since. He said, I said no to the offer of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I didn't feel deserving. I said no to hosting Saturday Night Live twice.

I didn't feel good enough. I was never really satisfied with my sign-filled performance. Fame magnified my insecurities. I think we can allow Michael Richards out of being ostracized, right? 18 years later. Bill O'Reilly with your message to the day. Next. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress.

National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver.

On this Friday, we are into Memorial Day weekend. Number one, you think most Americans know what Memorial Day is?

Do you think they know why the nation pauses? for a long three-day weekend and has fun. I'm not sure they know. I would say the majority probably, maybe it has something to do with the military, but they don't know the ultimate sacrifice that Americans should be contemplating, not celebrating on this weekend.

Here's a really provocative question. Do you think America's young people today, could win a ground war against the Russians, the Chinese? I don't. Now, our technology, our military weapons, precludes any ground war. That's never going to happen again. That's why we don't have a draft. We have a sign-up professional military

because the warfare will be done with fierce, bombs, satellites, lasers, drones, and not guys in foxholes. We do need ground forces, obviously. But if we had to go mono-a-mono with the Chinese, like we did with Japan and Germany and World War II, I don't think American youth could do it. I hope I'm wrong. Happy Memorial Day. 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. Jillian, concierge member, and so it begins. Of course, we all knew the goal of illegal immigration was for Democrats to get new voters. They really aren't

making any secret of it when they refuse to support a bill banning that in D.C. Absolutely right, Julian. Right, 100%. That is. what the open border is all about. Nancy Brenflick, Prescott, Arizona. Bill, I saw your update on Holly. In my daily prayer for God's blessings, including good health, for you and your family, I specifically include the Corgi Holly. How nice. Holly doing all right. We got St. Francis, the Pope took his name. We're praying to him for Holly because St. Francis was the animal guy. George Sullivan, Orrington, Maine.

Colorado, your message about the path a lawyer chooses to take was very moving. I suspect your children love and appreciate you for the clarity you bring on life's major issues. Some days they do but sometimes clarity is a pain to butt for kids I can't say it's across the board but that's my responsibility I have to be tell them what going on um Gary Braz

Boylston mass if a warning label sugar will kill you is placed on ice cream would you change your eating habits well I've already changed my eating habits so some people eat the ice cream even if it kills you, just like some people smoke, if it kills you.

You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Hollywood rapidly mobilizing

to resurrect Joe Biden's faltering campaign. A few of the nation's biggest stars will gather next month in Los Angeles to boost the 81-year-old's prospects in November. The event will feature George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barack Obama. And there are also more famous names backing the Democrats. Here are some of them. Director Steven Spielberg and his wife each gave the Biden campaign the maximum legal limit $929,000. Billionaire George Soros donated 900,000. Filmmaker J.J. Abrams, that Star Wars, wrote a check for a half a million. Other big contributors include sports executive Casey Wasserman, Lorene Powell, the widow of Steve Jobs, and casino magnate Neil Bloom. Hollywood's mission is to

brand Donald Trump as a fascist and cast hero Joe. as a defender of democracy. That strategy will not work. Unlike Julia Roberts and the others, most voters actually go to the grocery store. They know the price of food, the price of gasoline, the price of insurance, and on and on and on. As for George Clooney in 2022, he told the BBC that America was, was like a battered child that needed healing from the Trump presidency. There's a lot of things that have to be repaired.

You know, there's a lot of, there's a lot of healing that has to happen. And it's going to take time. That's so funny because, you know, he was just this knucklehead. I knew him before he was, you know, a president. He was just a guy who was chasing girls. Now here are a few inconvenient facts for Mr. Clooney. Under President Biden, food prices up 20 percent. Gas up 50 percent, mortgage rates have jumped double digits.

There is a war in Ukraine, Israel, and at least 10 million illegal migrants have entered the United States through the open border. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Americans are dying from drug overdoses. So much for healing, right, George, back after this. Power, politics and the people behind the headlines.
