First letter comes from Albuquerque, New Mexico, James. The interview with Joe Biden at the ice cream shop in Oregon, where he says the economy is strong as hell, assures we the people 100% that he is only getting the message the people in charge of him are giving him. I see it a little bit differently, James. I believe that Joe Biden lives in a delusional world, truly, truly lives in a delusional world.

Yes, he's told what to say. Yes, he often says it, but he believes it. That's delusional. Deborah Jacksonville, Florida. Joe Biden is a long history of lying, but his recent untruths may be something different. One of the symptoms of dementia is confabulation or false memories. Neither is a good option for the president. That's interesting point.

False memories. I had a mother who, before she died, was not rational. She had a lot of mental problems. She wasn't diagnosed with dementia, but she didn't have the false memories. Once in a while, she'd snap back, and she couldn't remember anything short term, but she did have long term. So, interesting. David in Long, South Carolina, is it unrealistic to believe if Congress and the Senate or Republican, they will be able to force President Biden to open the pipeline? No, they're not going to be able to force him.

It's an executive order. So Biden first day in office said any pipeline on federal land is shut down, drilling for oil on federal land shut down. Congress cannot overturn that. Jeff Hudson, Ohio, during the Trump administration, the USA was energy independent. The cost of energy was much lower. Is there anything that can be done about the Biden energy policies if Republicans win the House and Senate? Well, it can be bills passed, but the president may veto them. You know, our system is checks and balances here.

And that's a good thing. And finally, Kevin from Sacramento, California, Bill, through this election cycle, the one highly critical element I'm not hearing is what could occur in the Supreme Court should Democrats hold the Senate. Should a Justice pass retire, leaving the final vote to a gang of Democrats, that might tip the balance of the court? No, that wouldn't happen, Kevin, because it's five to three now. There are only three progressives on a court. So if another one is appointed, and that would be a long shot, because I think the Republicans will take the Senate. But if they don't, and another Supreme Court justice is appointed that is progressive,

they'd still be in the minority by one. Anyway, I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by putting it together. If you would like more news analysis, honest, please visit Bill O'Reilly.com.

You don't want to miss an episode. Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 110 years ago this week, Theodore Roosevelt was shot before a campaign event in Wisconsin. Despite the wound, Tough Teddy delivered his speech with the bullet still lodged in his ribcage. Here's the story. Roosevelt served as the 26th president of the United States from 2001 to 1909. On October 14th, 1912, Teddy was stomping across the country hoping to win a third term.

As he arrived in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, a man rushed forward, shot him point. blank in the chest with a 38-caliber pistol. Amazingly, the bullet failed to kill the former president. Teddy was saved by a spare set of glasses and a bundle of papers in his breast pocket. The assailant, a delusional 36-year-old bartender named John Shrank, was immediately taken into custody. The Rough Rider refused to cancel his campaign event. Roosevelt informed the crowd of the shooting, opening his jacket to reveal a blood-soaked shirt, said Teddy, quote, I don't think any of you know this, but I've just been shot. It takes more than one bullet to kill a moose. The bullet is in me now, so I can't make a very long speech, but I will

try my best, unquote. While the incident galvanized the public, it was not enough to save Teddy Roosevelt's campaign. He ultimately lost to Democrat Woodrow Wilson in a landslide 435 electoral votes to 88. With his presidential ambitions over, Roosevelt launched a series of scientific expeditions into the jungles of South America, the Amazon. He returned to the USA in 1914, died five years later from a blood clot at the age of 60. And here is something else. you might not know. The gunmen behind the assassination attempt blamed the entire shooting on a ghost. The crazy bartender said the spirit of assassinated President William McKinley directed him to kill Roosevelt. The guy was committed to a mental hospital and remained there

until his death in 1943. Back after this. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. Every morning, I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk
