Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the weekend edition of the O'Reilly Update.
Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.
Thanks, Bill. You're listening to the weekend edition of the O'Reilly Update.
Here's what's happening this week in America.
Operations outside Venezuela. Fetterman Falls. Jesse Jackson hospitalized.
And big changes to Doritos. It's all coming up.
Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day.
But first, the president has been briefed on O'Reilly.
options for potential military operations in Venezuela, including a strike on land.
The briefing followed the arrival of the USS Gerald Ford, that is our and the world's
largest aircraft carrier.
This aircraft carrier moved to U.S. Southern Command Area of Operations north of the Caribbean
Sea.
The carrier is accompanied by 60 aircraft, including F-18 fighter jets.
Experts say the actions could be nothing, all the way to airstrikes on seaports, airports,
and military facilities. The Secretary of War, Pete Hegesath, said that this Latin America
campaign has been designated Operation Southern Spear. Since September 2nd, our military has launched
14 strikes and killed 61 people in boats off the coast of Venezuela and Colombia.
Senator from Pennsylvania, John Federman was rushed to the hospital after falling outside of his
house. The 56-year-old Democrat suffered a ventricular fibrillation flare-up, caused him to feel
light-headed fell and hit his face on the ground. This rhythm can be caused by cardiomyopathy,
which Fetterman was diagnosed with in 2022. While on the campaign trail, he suffered a major
stroke. That, of course, put him in the hospital and left him still jumbling his words. And then in
2003, after he won the election, he checked himself into a hospital to get treatment for depression.
Jesse Jackson was also hospitalized yesterday. This for treatment related to his progressive
supernuclear palsy diagnosis. His family said he's been managing this neurodegenerative
condition for more than a decade. He was originally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease,
but they have since settled and confirmed on this PSP diagnosis.
PSP is a rare brain disease that affects walking, balance, eye movements, and swallowing.
PepsiCo has announced that its Cheetos and Doritos brands are now coming colorless.
Not all of them. It's just an option, if you would like. They're branded as simply
NKD. It took me a while. It's like a cool young people hip way of saying.
saying simply naked. Their marketing officer, no color, no artificial flavors, same intensity.
That's simply naked. Doritos and Cheetos are pioneering, a snacking revolution, or a
renaissance, if you will. This, of course, comes from pressure from RFK Jr., who says the government
will phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes in our nation's food supply by the end of next year.
The color of these new Cheetos and Doritos, it's like a pale yellow. They just look like a potato chip.
They'll be in stores December 1st. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. I hope you have
A great weekend. Bill O'Reilly has your message today. Next.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day.
President Trump is floating the idea of a $2,000 direct tariff payment to Americans,
and that is obviously a reflection of his concern over high consumer prices,
which are hurting the Republicans.
But there are a number of important concepts attached to this $2,000 payment, and every American wouldn't get it.
It depends on income.
First of all, it is a giveaway, free stuff, and that's exactly what the Democrats are selling.
However, the funds from foreign deals, tariffs, pay for the largesse.
So, shouldn't working Americans benefit from that?
After all, our hard-earned money buys foreign goods.
And the president can charge countries to get access to the American consumer.
That's what a tariff is.
If you want to sell stuff in the USA, you've got to pay up front to the American government.
And why do foreign nations want to sell stuff here?
Because Americans buy far more things than anyone on earth.
So the $2,000 payment is kind of legit,
but it's not going to be easy to get it passed.

Now let's go to the mail.
Dr. Michael Abraham's Plantation, Florida, Broward County.
President Tomp has mentioned distributing some of the tariff funds to individuals.
Sounds like a clever political move and would be guaranteed to drive the Democrats crazy,
but Democrats may try to stop it.
I'm not sure how this is going to play out, doctor.
But we're on it.
And I hope it does play out.
If you read my message of the day on Bill O'Reilly.com, I explain
why we deserve the 2000s, not just a handout.
Scott Kirkland, San Jose, California.
While President Trump frequently makes himself available to the media,
I can't recall him making an Oval Office address.
I think he should do so to clarify the shutdown and his plan for the tariffs.
I agree.
I think a nationwide short, though.
Here's what we're doing and get prices down.
Here's where the tariff money is going.
I agree.
Carol Concierge member, Carol gets direct access to me.
If there are many ways for Donald Trump to bring down prices, then name them.
Well, I didn't say there were many ways to bring down prices.
I don't know.
There's a lot of complications.
A lot of people involved.
If I knew, I'd tell you.
It's a complicated mess to bring down.

Now, the O'Reilly Update preaches something you might not know.
16 years ago this week, the House passed the biggest overhaul of America's health care system
in half a century.
Today, 24 million Americans receive insurance through the federal program.
Here is the story of Obama Care, approved by Congress in late 2009 and signed into law by President Obama in 210.
The Affordable Care Act extended financial aid to Americans not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid.
Based on a person's income, they could purchase health insurance on the Internet through a so-called digital marketplace.
Anyone earning less than $100,000 a year was eligible for the government subsidy.
Under new guidelines, insurers were forced to accept all applicants, regardless of pre-existing conditions.
They include diabetes and cancer. And also, the insurers had to take on severely disabled people.
So they raised their premiums.
To offset that, Obamacare required all Americans to purchase health.
insurance. You didn't have a choice. If you did not, you had to pay a penalty to the IRS.
That provision was eventually struck down by the Supreme Court. According to the Congressional
Budget Office, Obamacare was projected to cost around $800 billion for the first 10 years.
Despite numerous challenges, the subsidy remains intact. Here's where it's
stands today. Premiums have soared to historic levels. In 2009, the average insurance price for an
American was about $4,000 a year. Now that figure has exploded to 9,000. Typical cost for a family
of $4,000, $30,000 a year for health insurance. The actual taxpayer price tag for Obamacare
is double the initial projection, now standing at $1.5 trillion.
That's what the government shutdown was all about.
Democrats want to extend it.
Republicans do not.
You decide.
Back after this.
Eric Bowling here with a question, do you know what it really takes to keep your edge?
It's not comfort.
It's not playing it safe.
It's walking straight into the fire and coming out stronger on the other side.
That's the driving principle behind my podcast, the edge where pressure, risk, and raw performance collide.
On this week's episode, I sat down with Patrick Bet David, a business legend and media mogul who built his empire from nothing.
Discover how he used pressure and personal fire to create his edge.
