Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, January 9th, 2023. Here's what's happening today in America. Attacking democracy in Brazil. Joe Biden in Mexico.

A new speaker of the house and the first play back for the bills. Of course, Bill will be back with your message of the day. protesters stormed the Brazilian Congress, presidential offices, and Supreme Court to protest the election loss of former president Bolsonaro. His supporters say it was a rigged election. You see the pictures that looks a lot like January 6th, just everything's yellow and green,

instead of red, white, and blue. Joe Biden tweeted out, I condemn the assault on democracy and on the peaceful transfer of power in Brazil. And the president, Lula, called the attack Barbaric. Tomorrow we resume work at the palace always democracy. Good night. Our president, Joe Biden, visited the border ahead of his visit to Mexico City. The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, said Biden had a sanitized visit

to El Paso. As Air Force One was on the tarmac, Governor Abbott said Biden is two years and about $20 billion too late. He said Biden avoided the sites where mass illegal immigration occurs and sidestepped the thousands of angry Texan property owners whose lives have been destroyed by his border policies. We have a new Speaker of the House, and it only took 15 votes, the most since 1859. McCarthy had to make a lot of concessions to the 20 holdouts. One requires the House to vote on each individual appropriations bill on its own. So no more omnibus bills like we passed three weeks ago.

Also, Freedom Caucus members are going to be sitting on the Rules Committee. This is the last step before a bill makes it to the House floor for a vote, and they, among other, things, decide if any amendments will be added to bills. So all of this should, in theory, limit out-of-control spending. All in all, the 20 holdouts got pretty much everything they wanted, except McCarthy is the speaker. Unfortunately, for McCarthy, all it takes as one member of the Republican Party to call for a motion to vacate.

Pelosi required half of her party to trigger that vote. For McCarthy, all it takes is one. Update on Demar Hamlin. He's awake, and he watched the first game, Bill's have played since he collapsed on the field last week. He wrote on Twitter, Game Day, nothing I want more than to be running out of the tunnel with my brothers. But God is using me in a different way today. Hopefully he did not miss the beginning of the game. The Bill's returned to the opening kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown, the first play

since he collapsed. Bill, back with the message of the day. Next. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day. Did you check out Joe Biden? at the border on Sunday yesterday. Now, I'm a little cynical. I'll admit it. I think Mr. Biden is a terrible president, perhaps the worst performance in the first two years of any modern chief executive. So he goes to the border to try to deal with a problem he created. Remember, the last year under Trump, there were about 750,000 encounters with migrants at the Southern border, according to the border patrol. Now, six million foreign nationals have entered the USA under dubious circumstances since Biden's been in office. Six million because he knocked

out Trump's remain in Mexico policy and replaced it with nothing. You can just stroll across that border, say, hey, I want asylum and you're in the country for five years. before your case is even heard. Insane. So now, Biden, under tremendous pressure, goes to El Paso and tells Americans, hey, it's not my fault. Congress will not pass comprehensive immigration reform.

What's that? Amnesty for everyone. And Congress will never pass that, particularly because there's no enforcement apparatus from the Biden administration. This whole thing is a catastrophe.

But you can't have a fraud in any elected office. I know the political repercussions, Robert. And Santos is Roberts Congressman as well as mine. Marshall Asmer, Danbury, Connecticut. I'd like you to comment about possible outcomes for ending the Ukraine war and your thoughts on DeSantis winning the Republican nomination. DeSantis has a good shot to win it. The Ukraine war, Putin, you know, you're dealing with a stone wall there at this point. So I don't know how that stone wall cracks. Anna Kim, Everett, Washington, my husband and I are visiting Ireland this year. I think Irish people are very friendly,

beautiful country. It's our first time visiting Ireland. You will have a great time. Ireland, for my money, one of the best places to travel. You're right, the folks are nice, they like Americans, it's not crazy expensive outside of Dublin, and it is beautiful everywhere. Jesse Frye, Longwood, Florida, thanks for doing most of my Christmas shopping for me, O'Reilly. I gave the killing books as gifts, always a big hit. Favorite, killing the killers.

You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 66 years ago today, a small column appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper.

Within a decade, the feature was published in 1,200 newspapers across the country, read by 95 million people every day. Here is the story of Dear Abbey. The column was the brainchild of twin sisters. Esther Pauline Friedman and Pauline Esther Friedman were born to Russian Jewish immigrants in Sioux City, Iowa, 1918. The coordinated names were just the beginning. The Inseparable Sisters grew up playing the violin and performing duets in Yiddish. The twins then enrolled.

in Sioux City's Morningside College. They wore matching raccoon coats and co-wrote a gossip column called Campus Rat. After graduating Pauline applied to the San Francisco Chronicle to write an advice column using the pen name Abigail Van Buren. She created the pseudonym from her favorite Bible verse found in the book of Samuel. Quote, Then David said to Abigail, Blessed is, is your advice and blessed are you," unquote. Dear Abby debuted on January 9, 1956. Questions from the public involve things like cheating spouses, bossy in-laws, and teenage romance. Dear Abby was a tremendous force for good in this country. Pauline wrote the column until the year 2000 when her daughter took control following a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

The original Abby died on January 16, 2013 at the age of 94. And here's something else you might not know. So many people submitted questions to the Chronicle that it had to hire extra SAF to sort the letters. At the height of her fame, Dear Abby had a crew of 30 people sifting through 20,000 pieces of mail every week. Today, folks can see, dear Abby, on social media. Back after this.
