Local news is in decline across Canada, and this is bad news for all of us. With less local news, noise, rumors, and misinformation fill the void, and it gets harder to separate truth from fiction. That's why CBC News is putting more journalists in more places across Canada, reporting on the ground from where you live, telling the stories that matter to all of us, because local news is big news. Choose news, not noise.

CBC News. Riley here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, January 30th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Another shutdown, steel production up, Olympics next week, and a major documentary premiere. It's all coming up, then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day, but first, Senate Democrats voted unanimously to block a package of six funding bills that would fund large portions of the government until September, meaning we could have a partial government shutdown. The debate is going to be centered around Homeland Security, but ICE is funded in the one big,

beautiful bill. Alas, the Democrats are demanding an end to roving patrols, ensuring that federal agents are held to the same use of force policies that apply to state and local law enforcement and preventing agents from wearing masks and requiring body cameras. Republicans need the support of at least seven Democrats in the Senate to avert this shutdown. Steel production in the United States has surpassed Japan's production for the first time in 26 years. We are now the world's third largest steel producers, still ranking behind China and India. But our crude steel production was up 3.1% last year to 82 million tons.

It's the first rise in two years. We've got a bronze medal in steel production, but we're going to win a lot of gold coming up next week. I'm very excited for the Olympics starting next week. 98 athletes will be there for the first time. Seven are in their fifth appearance for Team USA. 84 members of Team USA are current or former NCAA athletes. That's 36% of the roster.

And the colleges that are most represented, Minnesota, seven athletes in Boston College with six. The youngest member of Team USA is Abby Winterberger. She's a 15-year-old free skier. Colorado is the state that most athletes call home 32. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, throw that in the mix. You got 50% of our roster right there. Opening ceremonies are next Friday in Italy.

Now we got some work to do. The country with the all-time most medals in Winter Olympics. It's Norway. They have 406. We're number two with 330. Germany is behind us, 267. Now, next Sunday, got the Super Bowl as well. NBC is going to carry Olympics in the morning, then Super Bowl at night, and then back

to the Olympics, and all of it's going to be broadcast in 4K for the first time ever. Melania Trump has a new documentary that comes out today. The film is released on 1,500 screens across the country. It focuses on the 20 days leading up to the inauguration, produced by Amazon MGM Studios, directed by the director of the Rush Hour movies, X-Men Last Stand, and the Family Man. The media has been saying for weeks it's going to be a huge flop,

but even deadline, far-left deadline, admitted yesterday that this could be the highest box office for a documentary in over a decade. Stick it to the left. Go see Melani.

Conditions apply. Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Friday, the Census Bureau reports this month that the nation's population is only increasing at a rate of 0.5% annually. Fewer immigrants and babies, the reasons why. We all know about the long overdue crackdown on immigration law violators, but, oh, baby, what's up with that? Here's the truth. Many younger Americans are frightened to start traditional families. Why? Because it's hard to assume that kind of responsibility. You mean I have to live for a lot of other people, not just myself. I have to struggle for enough legal tender to support children by a

house. I have to leave my cell phone bubble. There's another big factor as well. If the dating situation where people meet each other and eventually get engaged and married, that's a traditional path, if that doesn't work out, revenge is now commonplace. accusations, recriminations. It's easy to smear with the device madness that dominates our culture. And then there is mass abortion. Add it all up. Look out below. It is indeed tough out there, baby. And that certainly is not a good thing to the United States. We need people here. 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. All right, let's go to the mail. We got Jim. Concierge member. Jim has special status. He is direct line to me. If Jim gets in trouble, we'll help him out. Bill, your analysis is going on in Minneapolis, along with tragic deaths, is disturbing and reassuring at the same time.

Certainly because I believe you have pinned the truth on the entire troubling events, including the person funding them from Shanghai, China. And reassuring, because when we have truth, we know what the outcome may be. Well, that's a good letter. Okay. I can't worry about disturbing you, Jim, or anybody. But we do want a positive outcome on this. Wayne Concierge member, what I'd like to know is why the Justice Department hasn't sued the states that passed the laws run contract in federal law. I can't answer that

question. The federal government gets through all of those sanctuary states, all 12 of them, and they should. I don't know why. Mike DeStesare, Rancho Cucamonger, California. Bill, I just finished watching you on YouTube when you took on the Minneapolis Police Chief. On the episode you describe how the chief can allow ICE agents into jails to arrest illegal aliens. I believe your assessment is incorrect. As in most counties in the United States, the jails are responsibility to the sheriff's department. City police do not have access. Okay, these are fugitives. That's where you're making your mistake, Mike. Your analysis is correct. There's a different status. These are fugitives from the federal law enforcement system.

And under the law, the sheriff and the police chief both have the legal obligation to assist finding the fugitives. In a moment, something you might not know. I was guilty of multiple skin care crimes. Two counts of sleeping and makeup. One count of using disposable wipes. I knew my wife. my routine had to change. So I switched to Garnier-Missler water.

It gently cleanses, perfectly removes makeup, and provides 24-hour hydration. Clear away the evidence with the number one Missler water worldwide by Garnier. Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 78 years ago today, a global symbol of peace was assassinated in India. His violent death caused an international month of mourning

and mobilized thousands of activists around the world. Here's the story of Mahatma Gandhi. Born 1869, Gandhi was the youngest child of a wealthy aristocrat. His father worked as a chief administrator for the British colonial empire. Gandhi eventually studied law and finance at the University of London. By the way, that's where I went to school for a year. He spent the next 20 years Gandhi did, working as a civil rights lawyer in South Africa. became active in the nonviolent resistance campaign to liberate Africans from their apartheid

government. In 1921, Gandhi returned home, taking leadership of the Indian National Congress, held campaigns to end poverty, extend women's rights, create peaceful relationships between Hindus and Muslims, and most importantly, end British rule in India. In 1942, during World War, Or Mahatma called for all Indians to stop cooperating with the British imperial government. Very controversial. He was immediately arrested, spent 24 months in prison. After World War II, Britain announced its intention to end much of its empire. On August 14, 1947, Parliament announced the independence of two nations, divided along sectarian

lines. India for Hindus, Pakistan for Muslims. For the next year, Mahatma Gandhi worked to build better relationships between the two religions. On January 30th, 1948, he was on his way to deliver an interfaith prayer meeting in the Indian capital of New Delhi. A Hindu nationalist named Nahuram Ghazi fired three bullets into Gandhi's chest. The 78-year-old died instantly. The assassin was hanged for his crime one year later.

And here's something else you might not know. Mahatma Gandhi remains one of the most influential figures in human history. More than 100 countries around the world have official monuments dedicated to the non-violent activist. Back in a moment. The ScoreBet app here with trusted stats and real-time sports. Sports news.
