Here's what's happening this week 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 Swarm Day House in San 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.

On this Wednesday, while attending my daughter's law school graduation, I was struck by the speakers mentioning justice. It was constant, and there was a reason, virtue signaling. The problem with the justice concept, is it means different things to different people.

For example, many liberal folks believe reparations for descendants of slaves is just. While others say spending billions of taxpayer dollars on a historical wrong punishes innocent people who have nothing to do with the gross injustice of human bondage. Another justice controversy revolves around the non-punishment of criminals. In cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, the victims of crime are mounting, while a soft treatment of offenders is embraced by progressive DAs and judges. Both sides believe their positions are just. There is a simple solution to the justice dilemma, and that is preventing destructive people and actions from escaping accountability.

If you hurt another person or damage the marketplace like shoplifting, you must pay a price. Justice demands that, but the punishment has to fit the crime. Violent people should be very severely punished. As for the sins of the past, they should not be repeated, but societal accountability now is impossible without hurting innocent people. The philosophy of America is a justice, not ideology, should be paramount. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com.

The old adage goes, beware what you wish for, because someday you might actually get it. Biden supporters think his trial is a good thing. thing for the legal system they're living in an alternative universe. I do believe that everybody who boosted this trial is going to get it right between the eyes. Joseph Hertz, Kings Park, New York.

So, Mr. Bill, Pelosi's attacker got 30 years. Wow, I guess important people are above unimportant people. Come on, Joe, you can't be annoyed that this guy broke in to the Speaker of the House's home, San Francisco, and almost beat her husband, an 80-year-old man to death with a hammer, got 30 years. Come on. That was certainly an appropriate sentence. I know what you're saying, but, you know, you can't have that. Janet, S. Corn, Naples, Florida, love the smart life segment.

When you spoke about cold-cut meat, not being healthy, were you referring to pre-packaged or sliced at the deli counter? Pre-packaged has all those chemicals, so that it's far worse. But I wouldn't be eating a lot of baloney anywhere. But it's just me. John Batten, Harley'sville, Pennsylvania. The No Spin News is a great program.

Hollywood rapidly mobilizing to resurrect Joe Biden. 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 at 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 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 healing that has to happen. It's going to take time. It'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 overdose. So much for healing.
