Please go to TNUSA.com slash bill or call 800-245-6-0-0. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, May 30th, 2024. Here's what's happening today in America.
Starting point is 00:00:29 Luxury Meals. Harvard silence, World Cup in America, and North Korean filth. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day, but first. Lending Tree did a survey. How many Americans, what percentage of Americans, believe that fast food is now a luxury? 78%. And they're really not that far off.
Starting point is 00:00:51 The difference between the Trump presidency and the Biden presidency, a medium French drive from McDonald's went from 179 to 419. A McChicken from 129 to 389 and a Big Mac from 399 to 749 now. But don't worry, if the World Economic Forum and the globalists and the Democrats get their way, you'll be eating bugs anyway. Very affordable. Harvard University announced it will no longer be speaking out on political or social issues that do not impact Harvard's core function.
Starting point is 00:01:21 The president of Harvard, of course, was shamed into resigning for, well, plagiarism, ultimately, but really after a testimony in front of Congress with regards to the anti-Semitic comments that were made on campus. The university then started a institutional voice working group which decided that they will not comment on anything that is not of Harvard University's core issues. They say doing so risks compromising the integrity and credibility of our academic mission. Very nice statement, but don't be fooled. It will not change what's happening inside the walls of our universities. The ICC men's T20 World Cup taken place in Nassau, Long Island. Don't worry if you have no idea what I'm talking about. I don't either. I've never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:02:01 It's the World Cup of cricket. 20 teams. America's in it because we're the host nation. The last World Cup in India, there were 1.2 million spectators. Now, this is in the news because first, it's in a temporary stadium in Long Island, which is pretty cool. But ISIS has threatened to attack the event, specifically the India versus Pakistan game. Officials, though, say this is the largest security operation they've ever had in Long Island. The first game, Saturday, U.S. versus Canada. North Korea has been floating up balloons, which is nice.
Starting point is 00:02:31 They just happen to be carrying plastic bags of filth and garbage, which are then landing on the streets in South Korea. Just lands and makes a pile of garbage. South Korea said that their actions clearly violate international wall. Dear leader, sister said, I don't know why they're making a big deal
Starting point is 00:02:47 like they've been hit by a shower of fire. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith Bill O'Reilly with your message of 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.

Starting point is 00:04:03 Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Thursday, because Mad Max was unavailable out promoting his new movie, the Biden administration chose Robert De Niro to frighten on-lookers in front of the Trump courthouse. In short, Bobby D. said that if re-elected Donald Trump would pull a Julius Caesar and never leave office. He would also destroy the planet. And perhaps the worst thing of all, he'd beat the living daylights out of young Sheldon.
Starting point is 00:04:37 Well, maybe I heard the last one wrong. Anyway, the last time I saw De Niro, he was walking across a snowy Switzerland playing Frankenstein's monster. That film made more sense than Bobby's anti-Trump diatribe. The whole thing reminded me of the Scorsese movie Casino, where Bob gives Sharon Stone bundles of cash so she can buy narcotics.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Then he gets mad at Sharon because she's a bad mom. Well, yeah. The most bizarre thing about the courthouse fiasco is that the Biden administration actually asked De Niro to do it. Why? Was one voter influenced by the bizarre exposition this week? Maybe Hunter who liked the movie Casino very much. Some folks I know are voting for Trump just because Bobby isn't. It seems the former good fellow may now have to go into witness protection.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Let's hope so. 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 go with the mail. We got Vicky. Why would Fox and the networks keep showing that De Niro idiot speech over and over? Because what else are you going to do? It's provocative. People get angry. Of course they're going to do it. De Witt. Why is De Niro at the Trump trial closing arguments? Is he filming a new movie? No. The Biden administration asked him to go. And he went because he hates Trump.
Starting point is 00:06:22 Mick, the judge in the trial seems biased and conflicted and his strict instructions may lead the jury to have no choice but to convict. The jury always has a choice. The judge can't force him to do anything. But we'll know after the trial when the jury's
Starting point is 00:06:38 members do interviews. We'll know. Jim Thompson, Loveling, Colorado. Perhaps Obama was involved with the De Niro courthouse. Come on. he wasn't jim that's all i can say ralph concierge member ralph gives a direct line to me um if you've ever sat on a jury you know that there is no jury of your peers they all have different financial backgrounds but they're all american citizens that's the jury of your peers
Starting point is 00:07:08 can't have a foreigner around there linda calcaro a marietta california can the trump attorneys He's bypassed the lower Pellaritz Court and appealed to the Supreme Court. No. Got a stair step through the federal system, which will happen if he's convicted. Garrett Klein conquered North Carolina. Bill, been reading your book since I was 16, anxiously awaiting confronting the presidents. But I have to disagree that James Buchanan was the worst president. Civil War was already destined to happen.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Nothing could have been done to stop it. true. Not true at all. And we'll lay it out for you in confronting the Presidents. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might, not know. 218 years ago today, the future president of the United States shot and killed the man over a horse. The event added to the man's rough reputation that continued throughout his lifetime. Here is a story behind the duel of Andrew Jackson and Charles Dickinson. The beef began in 1806 when Dickinson, an attorney from Nashville, made lewd remarks about Jackson's wife, Rachel. At the time, Old Hickory had served as a justice of the Tennessee Superior Court.
Starting point is 00:09:19 Dickinson then published an article accusing Jackson of cheating on a horse bet. He also labeled him, quote, a worthless scoundrel and coward. No stranger to violence. Andrew Jackson challenged the lawyer to a gun fight. On May 30, if the two men met on a farm in rural Kentucky. After pacing a few feet, they turned. and opened fire. Dickison's bullet struck Jackson in the middle of his chest. Old Hickory's gun misfired. In a breach of dueling etiquette, Jackson recocked his weapon, shot his opponent
Starting point is 00:09:57 dead. The bullet that hit, Jackson, was too close to his heart to perform surgery. He carried the fragments for the rest of his life. The injury frequently caused him health problems. He often coughed up blood, a gruesome reminder of the duel. And here's something else you might not know. Historians believe Jackson was involved in many gunfights, including one with the governor of Tennessee. But documentation is scant. In my upcoming book confronting the presidents, we could not nail down exactly how many duels Jackson participated in. There was a lack of reporting, and Jackson himself, in his later years, was vague. After winning the White House, Jackson's rough reputation was solidified by the Indian
Starting point is 00:10:51 Removal Act, the forced relocation of 50,000 Native Americans, and the confiscation of millions of acres of their land. In total, Old Hickory forced the Indian tribes to sign 70 treaties, nearly all under the threat of death. To this day, Andrew Jackson remains, one of the most controversial presidents in U.S. history. Back after this.
