Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest armada ever assembled in the history South America. It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they've ever seen before. Until such time as they return to the United States of America all the oil, land, and other assets that they previously stole from us. The illegitimate Maduro regime is using oil

from these stolen oil fields to finance themselves, drug terrorism, human trafficking, murder, and kidnapping. For the theft of our assets and many other reasons, including terrorism, drug smuggling, and human trafficking, the Venezuela regime has been designated a foreign terrorist organization. Therefore, today I'm ordering a total and complete blockade of all sanctioned oil tankers going into and out of Venezuela. The president is speaking tonight in an address to the nation 9 o'clock Eastern. Not sure what about. He wrote on Truth Social about the address. I look forward to seeing you. It's been a great year for our country and the best is yet to come. This after the vice president gave a speech in Pennsylvania on affordability. In other J.D. Vance news, Marco Rubio said,

quote, if J.D. Vance runs for president, he's going to be our nominee, and I'll be one of the first people to support him. Susie Wiles, in a Vanity Fair interview, Susie Wiles is Trump's chief of staff, said the president has no intention of violating the 22nd Amendment and running again in 2028, quote, but he sure is having fun with it. Going back to news from the president, he has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against BBC over a documentary which deceptively edited the speech that the president gave on January 6th. The network spliced two clips of the president speaking 50 minutes apart from each other in the same speech, making it seem like one straight sentence. So a jump cut of 50 minutes apart from each other.

Starting with we're going to walk down to the Capitol. They took out and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congresspeople. And they jumped to the very end of the speech where he was talking about fighting for our country and said, I'll be there with you and we will fight. Speaking of fighting, the U.S. military has knocked out three more boats in the eastern Pacific. The first few drug boats that we blew out of the water were in the Atlantic, in the Caribbean. But later boats have been trying to find a new path in the Pacific to no avail.

On this Wednesday, President Trump has signed an executive order, categorizing the narcotic fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

He did that to increase his legal options in dealing with Mexico, by far the largest exporter of fentanyl in the world. The president is now willing to use military force against drug merchants as the world is seen with the destruction of Venezuelan and Colombian drug boats. Land action may be coming. Mexico has been a corrupt country ever since the turn of the 20th century. The drug cartels rule about a third of the nation through fear. They kill opponents, and their country.

families at will. The government in Mexico City is too weak to stand up to them. Therefore, the USA is faced with a choice. Allow hundreds of thousands of drug-involved Americans to die or destroy the cartel structure. That's it. There is no other option. Fentanol is obviously poison. to make, easy to smuggle. Billions of dollars are derived from the weak people in the USA

who buy it. So now the substance is a WMD, and the United States is determined to eliminate it and those who profit from it. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me.

Parameda, Australia. Okay. Mr. Riley, thank you for your fine broadcast.

I watch it on YouTube. I saw this article by Larry Kudlow. Here's a quote. Take New York and New Jersey, we're over the last 10 years. Their left-wing statist policies have seen nearly 3 million people abandon those states. And that's $700 billion worth of income. How can the voting public ignore

this? Andrew, I know you're discussing the anti-Semitism in your own country right now, and I like Australia, and I hope you guys sort it out. In our country here, a lot of ignorance, an amazing amount of it. People just don't pay attention to anything. And your stats are right. Kudlow is a brilliant man. But the regular folks voting for the far-left politicians in Jersey and New York, they don't know. And they don't particularly care. Everything's about them. But these states are in trouble. In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Fifty-six years ago today, the U.S. Air Force, a two-decade investigation into the possible existence of UFOs, though the military concluded

there was no evidence of extraterrestrial visits. The debate continues. Here's the story behind Project Blue Book.

At the same Some time, pilots returning from World War II described strange aerial phenomena during raids over Europe and the Pacific. In total, the military investigated more than 15,000 sightings. Experts explained 94% of the incidents, most related to atmospheric events, scientific tools like weather balloons or private aircraft. Six percent remain a mystery. On December 17, 1969, the Pentagon ended Project Blue Book, the Department of Defense issued three findings.

Number one, no UFO ever posed a threat to national security. Number two, there is no evidence that these sightings represented technologies beyond the modern range of scientific reason. And number three, there's no evidence these sightings were extraterrestrial incidents. Well, despite the report, claims of UFOs now called UAP's, unidentified aerial phenomena, continue. Since 1995, Americans have reported more than 130,000 mysterious objects in the night sky. Most events take place in Arizona, New Mexico, California, Florida. In 2020, President Trump was asked to comment about the existence of alien visitors to our planet. Mr. Trump told reporters he had heard some, quote, very interesting things about the

1947 incident in Roswell, saying he may declassify more information on that. And here's something else you might not know. The Pentagon opened another investigation into aliens 2022. To date, no evidence of space life has been produced back in a month. moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly, no spin, just facts, and always looking out for you.
