Here's what's happening today in America. A second assassination attempt, update on first attempt, co-ed subs, and first civilian spacewalk. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, a second assassination attempt against Donald Trump, this time at his golf course near Mara Lago. There's a bubble of security, secret service agents around him when he plays golf. And there's a secret service agent who walks one hole ahead of the president who noticed a barrel of an AK-47 sticking out of the bushes. he fired on the would-be assassin.

No word if the assassin was able to fire back or not. The assassin then ran, got in his car, and escaped. A witness saw him get in his car and took a picture of the license plate, which is why police were able to track him down so quickly. Think of the entirely possible scenario where the agent does not see this barrel and the president walks right next to the assassin. As it was, he was about 400 yards away. Even the local sheriff admitted that he could have gotten a shot off.

with this type of gun and scope. Kamala said, I've been briefed on reports of gunshots fired near former President Trump and his property in Florida. I'm glad he's safe. Violence has no place in America. To be clear, it wasn't gunfire near the former president

as if there was some, like, domestic disturbance across the street. This was an assassination attempt on the former president. On the first assassination attempt, Senator Josh Hawley reports that a whistleblower says the lead secret service agent was a woman from the Pittsburgh field office who failed a key exam, but was promoted anyway. The insinuation is that the former head of the Secret Service set a goal of having 33% of agents

women. This whistleblower says this woman did not pass her exam, but was promoted anyway. NBC framing this as a good thing, the U.S. Navy made history on Saturday by commissioning its first ever co-ed submarine, the USS New Jersey, marking a new era of inclusivity beneath the ocean surface. I'm sure this will go horribly. And finally, there have been 264 people to perform a spacewalk.

The most recent is the first to not be a professional astronaut. It was a SpaceX spacecraft higher than the International Space Station and Hubble Telescope. Their capsule landed successfully in the Gulf of Mexico this weekend. I'm Mike Slater for the podcast Politics

On this Monday, it's difficult to figure out why the corporate media and millions of American voters believe Vice President Harris is capable of running this country. Stepping back without any hate-Trump sentiment, what has she accomplished on the national level

as senator and vice president. Time and again, Ms. Harris dodges simple questions and wanders off into partisan blather. According to her, the Biden administration has performed heroically in every area. No downside at all. Yet the Harris campaign theme is a new way forward. So why do we need a new way forward when things are so great? Because as every sane person knows, things are not great. And Ms. Harris is one of the reasons why.

Foolish TV pundits on the left once again had a common refrain. Kamala was well prepared for the debate. I guess she prepared well to evade direct questions because that's what she did all night long. Maybe she prepared herself to mislead as when she said Donald Trump would sign an abortion ban. That's absurd. We live in a country where the truth has largely become irrelevant. Falsehoods and propaganda rule in political circles and in the television news industry. I'm not really prepared for that.

Are you? I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill o'Reilly.com. Bill at Bill o'Reilly.com. name in town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail.

Peter Lyons, C. Gert, New Jersey. I'm disgusted with ABC. I know you said there's nothing we can do about the corporate media, but if Trump supporters divest their shares in Disney, would not hurt them. No. Disney shares are held by institutions. So you can sell you. There are companies I will not associate with in any way, buy their stock or do anything.

because I disdain them, but it's not going to hurt them. Individuals. Fred Podota, Miami, Florida. Unfortunately, the only way to get a network's attention is to boycott. Okay, we don't believe in boycotts here, but yeah, you don't want to watch ABC News. Don't. Double up on the nose, fin nose. Nick Barron's, Exeter, New Hampshire.

Bill, I think you should cut a deal with Disney to see. exil confronting the presidents outside the Hall of Presidents in their theme parks. And what time will hell freeze over in New Hampshire there, Nick? Dizzy's never going to do any. They won't even invite me on their news programs to discuss confide. They're going to be to do a display. Carrie Rego Alvarez, Miramar, Florida, just north of Miami. Hey, Bill, I have a question for you, for people who think about moving out of the USA of Kamala Wins,

Where should we go? What is the country that closest resembles America? That would be Australia. Long way. But Australia, and I've been 86 countries, it's the closest to here. You would think maybe England, Ireland, but no, the customs in England, Ireland,

are fairly different than here. But Australia, it's a more liberal country than the USA. You might want to think about that. But very similar in the whole tempo thing and how they do things. But if you don't move out of the USA unless you have to. And I don't, you know, that's a really big decision. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 123 years ago today, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt was elevated, sworn in, as president after the assassination of William McKinley. Here is the story. Born in Manhattan, October 1858, Teddy Roosevelt was a sickly child. He suffered from severe asthma, muscle spasms,

migraine headaches. Ignoring the doctors, Roosevelt overcame his health problems by embracing the great outdoors, as he put it. He attended Harvard, then was elected to the New York State, legislature in Albany. In February 1884, Teddy Roosevelt suffered a catastrophic tragedy. Both his mother and his wife died on the same day. Grief-stricken, he packed up, moved out of New York City, but a cattle ranch in North Dakota. After a blizzard wiped out, Teddy's herd, he returned to the East Coast. He then fought in the Spanish-American War, the Rough Riders, also was elected governor of New York State. Roosevelt later selected as William McKinley's vice presidential running mate. Interesting story there that we tell

in my new book confronting the president, why he was nominated. They wanted to get him out of New York State. Anyway, in 1901, McKinley was shot down, making Roosevelt the youngest president in the history of the country at age 42. T.R.'s tenure is known for environmental protection, and he conserved 230 million acres of land. After his time in the White House, Teddy Roosevelt launched scientific expeditions into South America and Africa,

where he shot animals as well. He died in 1919 at the age of 60, and here's something else you might not know. Theodore Roosevelt despise being called Teddy. He loathed that, telling friends it sounded childlike. Ironically, the name was used in the early 20th century for a new toy. Inspired by Roosevelt's exploits, a Brooklyn businessman created a stuffed animal that remains popular to this day, the teddy bear.
