four, here's what's happening today in America, plane seized, Marines attacked, four murdered and record broken. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the United States has seized the plane of the president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro, after determining it was acquired in violation of U.S. sanctions. The plane was in the Dominican Republic. We seized their equivalent of Air Force One. Merrick Garland, our attorney general, said the Justice Department seized an aircraft, we alleged, was illegally purchased for $13 million through a shell company and was smuggled out of the United States for use by Maduro and his cronies. Venezuela calling it piracy. A group of people in the video

that we have, you can see about six people in Turkey, assaulting two United States Marines. The Marines were assigned to the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit. They were on Liberty. One of the attackers put a plastic bag over the Marines head when another Marine came to his rescue. The men were shouting Yankee go home. Local police intervened and they say they took 15 suspects into custody. Four people who at looks based off security camera footage were sleeping on a Chicago train were shot and killed Monday morning. They were likely homeless. The train was moving. A suspect's in custody. Three victims were on one car. Fourth was in another. Another deadly weekend in Chicago. We don't have final numbers yet, but the beginning of summer, the 4th of July,

over 100 people were shot 17 of them killed Chicago like all of Illinois has a 72 hour waiting period for gun purchases a red flag law and assault weapons ban a high capacity magazine ban you need a firearm owner's identification card and you have to go through background check by the Illinois state with the whole thing

and over 100 people were shot in the 4th of July the hot dog eating contest drama has come to a close after some contractual disputes with the 4th of July Nathan's Hot Dog Contest, the greatest competitive eater of all time Joey Chestnut wasn't allowed to compete. So Netflix says, well, how about we have a one-on-one battle between you and your rival Koyashi, and we call it unfinished beef, genius. Chestnut's previous world record was 76 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes, set three years ago. Yesterday, Kobayashi 866 and Joey Chestnut

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Tuesday, welcome back from vacation. I was out. I had a nice restful time. You know, we all need to recharge.

That's a cliche, but it's true. If you get worn down mentally and make mistakes all over the place. So now we've got two months before the country undergoes a historic election. I say historic because never before have we had two polarizing figures like we have now. So everybody knows Donald Trump. I don't have to add anything to that. Either love them or you hate them. And Kamala Harris is the most far left person ever to seek the presidency.

So it's a stark choice in November. The problem is that most Americans do not take the time to figure out exactly what's going on. So we had to do conventions, Republican in July, Democrat, and August, and really nothing was learned. Did you learn anything from those conventions? It was just political rhetoric and cheering and this and all. But I'm looking for solutions to complicated problems, like bringing down food prices, like dealing with Putin in Ukraine, like dealing with Putin in Ukraine, like dealing with the Middle East madness, I'm looking for solutions. I heard none. It's all generalism. Oh, Kamala Harris is going to take on Big Pharma. Well, why the deuce didn't she take it on for seven and a half years?

Four in the Senate, three is vice president. What about the border? Sat there. And Donald Trump is a generalist too. I'm going to deport all these people. Well, he can't. So in the next two months, I am going to report very precisely on what is going on. 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. Bill Horton, Roseburg, Oregon. My wife and I are new to the no-spin news, but we watch every evening now. What should we do and what are you doing considering your investment? wealth if Harris wins in November. I'm not going to do anything until I see how it all shakes

out. The danger is that Congress would go Democrat giving Harris a free field for two years to absolutely wreck the United States economy, which she would. So if that happens, then I'm going to huddle and, you know, that's all I can tell. You've got to wait. Can't do anything now. that might come back at you. Karen Krenkulli, Floral Park, New Jersey, Floram Park, Florem Park. I have a friend that said Trump wants to eliminate Medicare.

I never heard that, but she said she read it. Can you confirm? You got to stay away from this stuff. If the friend who told you that, who's desperately wrong, you always say, where did you see that? Precisely, exactly where did you see it? then you tell me, and I can do something about that. 80% of what you see on the Internet is propaganda or worse.

Donna Jason, Port Washington, New York on Long Island. Thank you Bill for revealing a truth about Mercedes-Benz and her ties to Hitler. Years ago, my husband and I saw a secretly taped documentary in which Nazis living in Argentina were asked how they were surviving financially. They said Mercedes supports us. us. That's not true. I wrote killing the SS. We know everything about the Nazis who escaped to South America. Mercedes was never involved with that. They were involved with the war machine that Hitler established up to here. And they largely got away with it. In a moment, something

fines, 50% of Americans will not be taking a vacation this year, the fewest since COVID hit in 2020. The biggest factor keeping people home, record high prices. Here are some stats. The average room, hotel room in New York City now costs 500 bucks a night up from 300 before the pandemic. Prices also up 30% in London, 33% in Paris, 40% in Paris, 40% Hong Kong. and a whopping 60% in the Caribbean. The increases are a result of inflation and the ridiculous junk fees that are often hidden from tourists.

Here are some of the strangest surcharges we could find. At some resorts in Hawaii, they now charge 50 bucks for coconut landscaping fees to stop coconuts from falling on. people's heads. The Royal Hawaiian in Honolulu is known for welcoming tourists with their signature banana muffins. The snack used to be free. Now it's $42, but you don't know that until you get the bill. In Brooklyn, visitors are charged $45 to have filtered water in their bathroom sink At the popular Viceroy Hotel in Washington, D.C., guests are billed 26 bucks for white noise machines to cancel out sounds of traffic.

The Hyatt Regency in Boston charges people $30 for a so-called daily destination fee. The tax includes a free cup of clam chowder from room service. And here's something else you might not know. The most ridiculous fees in America can be found at Disney World. Tourists there pay extra for photos, access to rides, characters, premium seating at parades, and dinner reservations, all previously free of charge. When Disney World opened back in 1971, an average four-night stay cost a family of four, 400 bucks. Today, that figure has ballooned to $7,000. Right back.
