Here's this afternoon today in America. More appointments. Missiles, Daniel Penny, and Comcast spinoff. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. First, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance will be bringing some of Trump's cabinet picks to D.C. to meet with different key senators to get their support, specifically Matt Gates for Attorney General, Pete Hagsath for Department of Defense. They're meeting today and Thursday with senators. Elon said of Matt Gates, he has three critical assets that are needed for the AG roll, a big brain, a spine of steel, and an axe to grind.

He is the judge dread America needs to clean up a corrupt system and put powerful bad actors in prison. Gates will be our hammer of justice. Trump also nominated the CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald, Howard Lucknick, as the Secretary of the Department of Commerce. This is going to be an important position with Trump's promises of tariffs. Trump chose Dr. Oz to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and he chose Linda McMahon to be the secretary of the Department of Education, hopefully the last secretary of the Department of Education. Ukraine hit a Russian weapons arsenal with U.S. made missiles in Russian territory for the first time. Now we're past the 1,000th day of this war.

It's just two days after the Biden administration gave the green light for this attack. Ukraine fired six missiles at the facility. Russia says they shot down five of them. Fifteen Russian air bases are now within range of these American missiles. The trial of Daniel Penny continues in New York City. The medical examiner said she made her determination about, about the cause of death after watching a video of what happened without waiting for the toxicology report. The doctor said that even if Jordan Neely had enough fentanyl in his system

to kill an elephant, she still would have determined the cause of death to be asphyxiation. Jordan Neely indeed had synthetic marijuana in his system. Comcast is moving forward with its plan to spin off its cable TV network's Golf, Sci-Fi, E, Oxygen, USA, CMBC, and MSNBC. Bravo will stick around. Bravo started in 1980, by the way, as a channel for the opera and ballet. And now it's Real Housewives. In just this quarter of 2024, Comcast has lost 365,000 pay TV subscribers.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Wednesday, let's go all the way with the swamp. If President Trump is really going to drain it, a giant suction plan is needed. Half measures will not work. Therefore, here are my cabinet nominees. Secretary of Defense, the Rock, Dwayne Johnson, big fellow, will not be intimidated by little Putin,

may even pat him on the head. Secretary of Treasury, Oprah, many homes, lots of expensive things. Got $2.5 million out of Kamala Harris for something. Not sure what. Good negotiation, the woman knows money. Secretary of Transportation. Let's keep Pete Buttigieg. It's a do-nothing job anyway.

And Pete nailed that. Why change? Secretary of Chaos, new position, Taylor made for Kid Rock. Rock on, brother. And while we're on the subject of Taylor, Secretary of Cosmetics, another new position that Ms. Swift could easily embrace. Just the lipstick alone qualifies her. Secretary of Snacks, key position in the new White House.

This is where Robert Kennedy Jr. should be. Carrot, celery, the whole thing. No Diet Coke, but that could be a problem. So those are my nominees. And finally, the big one, Secretary of Cable TV. So who controls remote when President Trump is watching the news programs? We need Jake Paul for that. I'm Bill O'Reilly.

All about them.

Melissa Taylor, Newcastle, Colorado. Do you have any of your missions or thoughts on where Trump stands with NATO? If you'll try to withdraw the USA, he's not going to withdraw from NATO. He'll just keep browbeaten in nine countries that haven't paid their dues the way they should. That's all. Eric Eisenhower, Dallas, Texas. Bill, I would say agree with President Trump, 80% of the United States. time. I can take a step back and admit he's somewhat of a narcissist, but I still support him

politically. I don't like the Matt Gates pick, but I think there's something else going on here. Well, if there's something else going on, then we need to know about it. I want President Trump to be upfront with the folks. I mean, it is pretty much, but now I'm starting into murky land, you know. Stan Martin, the village is Florida. Hey, Bill, you asked tonight of your viewers agree with everything Donald Trump does. Short answer is no. I voted for him in the last three elections. However, he's a vulgarian. Whoa. He punches down unnecessarily, often chooses loyalty over intellect expertise to his own detriment. Okay. I don't think he's a vulgarian. I think that he gets angry and emotional. But I've been around him long enough

to know that he treats most people respectfully. I've seen him before he was of politicians. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Happy birthday, Joe Biden. The outgoing president turns 82 years old today. Most of those years spent in Washington, D.C. To celebrate Joe's big day, here are a few career highlights and low lights. first elected to the Senate in 1972. Joe Biden spent the next 37 years forging alliances with his colleagues. He was instrumental in passing the Brady bill, which required mandatory background checks for gun buyers.

As Vice President, Joe Biden helped President Obama pass the Affordable Care Act. Today, 45 million Americans are enrolled in Obama care. Now, Commander-in-Chief Biden signed the infrastructure bill, the biggest bipartisan spending agreement in more than a decade. The 2021 law passed in the Senate, 6930. Since then, more than $1 trillion federal dollars have been spent. Now the low points. First, plagiarism. Joe Biden announced his first run for the White House in 1987.

he made a speech. But the New York Times accuses Senator of stealing sections of that speech from a British politician. Biden also apparently cribbed entire paragraphs from Hubert Humphrey, Robert Kennedy, and JFK. The scandal forced Biden out of the presidential race, said Joe at the time, quote, I've done dumb things, and I'll do dumb things again. unquote. Okay. Next, Mr. Biden's propensity for exaggeration. Since taking office, the president has claimed he desegregated restaurants in Delaware, his eldest son died in Iraq, he created 10 million jobs, and he personally witnessed a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh, which he did not. In fact, all of those statements were false. But the worst moment of Joe Biden's career,

the June 27th debate with Donald Trump. The bizarre performance shocked millions of Americans, including leaders of the Democratic Party. Three weeks later, Mr. Biden was forced to quit the race. Well, that's all in the past now. So today, happy birthday, Joe Biden. Back after this. Hey, it's Sean Spicer from the Sean Spicer.
