MTG goes for it. Biden pulls aid, 30 years in prison and disqualified from the race that's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Marjorie Taylor Green finally pulled the trigger to vacate House Speaker Mike Johnson. But that was immediately tabled by a majority of Republicans and most of the Democrats do.
Starting point is 00:00:50 11 Republicans voted with Marjorie Taylor Green. 196 Republicans voted to table the motion, effectively killing it, along with 100,000. 163 Democrats. The head of the Democratic Party said, even though we're in the minority, speaking of Democrats, we effectively have been governing as if we were in the majority because we continue to provide a majority of the votes necessary to get things done, which is kind of Marjorie Taylor Green's point. She said Mike Johnson is ill-equipped to handle the rigors of the job that has allowed a Uniparty to fuel foreign wars, trample on civil liberties, and increase our disastrous national debt. Joe Biden said he will not supply
Starting point is 00:01:28 weapons to Israel if they invade Rafa. Rafa is the southernmost city in Gaza, right along the border with Egypt, incredibly heavily fortified impenetrable border with Egypt. They don't want any Palestinians in Egypt. Biden said, I've made it clear that if they go into Rafa, they haven't gone into Rafa yet. If they go into Rafa, I'm not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafa, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem. A 34-year-old man in Idaho was in prison for at least 30 years after purposefully spread spreading HIV. I bring this up because one of my go-to California laws is a law passed by the now mayor of San Diego when he was a state rep that made it no longer a felony to knowingly infect
Starting point is 00:02:09 someone with HIV. It's now just a misdemeanor. So in Idaho, this guy gets 30 years for knowingly infecting people with HIV in California. He would get a max six months. A marathon runner was winning almost the entire race. It was only his second marathon he's ever run and he's only been training for four months. But his happiness was short-lived. He was disqualified after the race because he took water from a family member during the race. That's cheating. Can't do that because you're getting aid that other runners are not getting. His dad was on a bicycle and him a water bottle. He has his third marathon coming this fall. We'll see if he can win again without breaking the rules. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast.

On this Thursday, just as an American citizen, not a news analyst, I have to say that the courtroom presentation of Stormy Daniels was revolting. I don't know what Donald Trump did or did not do.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I am certain, however, that after witnessing a testimony of this woman, My vote as a would-be jury person? Not guilty. Even if you despise Trump, you should admit the testimony was garbage in, garbage out. Some might even believe Ms. Daniel should be the defendant. While researching my upcoming book confronting the presidents, we found out that President Grover Cleveland had pretty much the same problem Donald Trump is dealing with. As a bachelor in upstate New York, Cleveland impregnated a woman named Maria Halpin, who birthed the son. That was in 1874. Ten years later, as Grover was running for president, Ms. Halpin was back, seeking money even though the child had been adopted. The ensuing
Starting point is 00:05:07 lurid headlines almost cost Cleveland the election. Republicans running against Cleveland used this chant to denigrate him. Mama, where's my paw? Gone to the White House. Ha, ha, ha. Grover Cleveland tried to keep the scandal quiet, and New York authorities left him alone. But that was then.
Starting point is 00:05:31 Now we live in an appalling age. President Cleveland is the only chief executive ever to win two non-consecutive terms. Trump is trying to duplicate that. And he just might win again. Ha, ha, ha. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

Very good, Janet. I forgot that. She was insightful. there. Not insightful, insightful, but inciting. Lloyd. Story Daniels is able to tell her sort of story because the judge and Biden prosecutors don't care whether a guilty verdict is reversed on appeal
Starting point is 00:06:58 because the reversal would happen after the election. It's a good point. It's a valid point. Paul Massardi, Tampa, Florida. Greetings Bill from a longtime viewer.

As a teenager, he played in a few rock groups, then a heavy metal band called Atilla.
