You are listening to the O'Reilly Update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater. Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, November 5th, 2025. Here's what happening today in America.

Election results. Closing the airspace, Harvard arrests, and Treasury Secretary to the Supreme Court. That's all coming up. Then Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, Election Day across America yesterday, Democrats won in all the big races, all blue states. Abigail Spanberger is the new governor of Virginia. The governor of Virginia often goes to the opposite party that's in the White House. That was true this year as well. Democrat won the New Jersey governor's race too. Amazingly, from my perspective, the Pennsylvania voters overwhelmingly voted to retain three Supreme Court justices. Exit polls in New Jersey found the biggest issues were taxes and the economy.

I'm assuming people want lower taxes, but maybe they want more taxes because people in New York City want to raise taxes. on the ridge. Either way, the 2026 midterms start today. A UPS cargo plane crashed and exploded, taken off from their hub in Louisville, Kentucky, killing at least three, that number's expected to go up with 11 injured. The Department of Transportation might be forced to shut down the airspace in certain parts of the country if the government shutdown continues into next week. Nearly 50% of all major air traffic control facilities face staffing shortages. All air traffic controllers are required to work without pay for the duration of the shutdown. About 13,000, thousand air traffic controllers are working without pay. On Friday, the FAA said that 80% of the

New York area staff called out. Duffy said these hardworking Americans have to pay bills and they have to make tough choices. Do they go to work as an air traffic controller? Or do they go find a different job to get resources, money to put food on the table, put gas in the car? Two arrests have been made for the bomb at the Harvard Medical School, an 18-year-old and a 20-year-old. The FBI said that these two together conspired to commit an elaborate and extremely dangerous act. The FBI, Boston, special agent in charge said this is not some harmless college prank. There could have been casualties if there were people in the building at the time. The Supreme Court is going to hear oral arguments today about Trump's tariffs.

This is about an interpretation of the 1977 International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which talks about regulating imports, but it doesn't use the word tariffs. the president has mused about attending the oral arguments. If he did, he'd be the first president ever to do that at the Supreme Court. But Scott Besant, our Treasury Secretary, said he will be there. He said the law gives power to the president in national emergencies. Besant cited the fact that tariffs against China gave us the leverage for China to say, at least, they're going to stop exporting fentanyl precursor chemicals to Mexico.

Besson said this only happened because of the tariffs the president put on China. and if fentanyl is not a national emergency, what is? I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith, Bill O'Reilly. He has your message of the day. Next. Boarding for flight 246 to Toronto is delayed 50 minutes. Ugh, what? Sounds like Ojo time.

On this Wednesday, there is always more to a story than is reported, and the government shutdown is an excellent example of that.

Here we have two parties blaming each other for stopping the federal money flow. And both Democrats and Republicans are doing that. The division is now so wide, it's tough to compromise. The left in America wants a massive uptick in Obamacare spending and will not approve federal spending until that happens. The right and the Republicans believes Obamacare expenses are already insane, and they will not agree to pump more than a true. billion dollars more into it. In the long run, the Democrats' goal is turning the entire American

health care industry over to bureaucrats in Washington. But if that ever happens, many doctors will detach from government health care and offer private services that only affluent Americans can afford. That's the concierge medical fame. Thus, the wealthy will get top shelf care, well, everyone else will have to settle. That's what happened in Great Britain. Remember, the U.S. government cannot force doctors or anybody else to do anything in the workplace. Got it? I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me.

Name in town, if you wish to opine. The male, Arthur. Sorry to say I learned nothing from the interview on 60 Minutes. Best thing I can say it wasn't as terrible is Leslie Stahl interview. The main takeaway from me was the hostility and complete lack of any sense of humor from Nora O'Donnell. I didn't know if she was hostile, but certainly she could have done a better job. Frank Sullivan, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. But watch the CBS interview on 60 Minutes with President Trump, okay?

And the interviewer repeatedly referred to the president as Mr. Trump. I believe this to be not only embarrassing, insulting, but arrogant. No, you can't just say President, President, President. I say Mr. Trump and Mr. Obama and Mr. Biden all the time. It's just using different words so you're not repetitious. Mr. is the title, sir, is the title for a president. Rich Stevens, San Diego. Hey, Bill, I agree with you, 16 minutes interview.

Shed no new news. But I'd like to know from you what questions you would have asked President Trump. Okay, I'll give you a few because I am hoping that I get an interview with him fairly. soon. I want to know about the drugboats getting blown up. Now, how does that pipeline work? What kind of intel are we using here? You don't have to get specific because, you know, people get killed, but are you 100% sure of their drug boats? 90%. All right, that kind of thing. Then we want to get into personalities. Okay. So she, Americans don't know anything about them. Let's find out what President Trump thinks about she. Remember, I,

said to him in 2016 on the Super Bowl interview, wait a minute, you're going to be friends with Putin. He's a killer. Remember that? You ask questions to get new things.

Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. 85 years ago today, Franklin Delano Roosevelt won his third. third term as president, FDR's final years in office, would be one of the most consequential times in U.S. history and lead directly to his death. Here is the story. In 1940, Roosevelt broke a tradition dating all the way back to George Washington. He would run for an unprecedented third term. Despite the objections from some lawmakers, there was no constitutional barrier in FDR's way. He easily defeated Republican Wendell Wilkie, 449 to 82 electoral votes. The next four years are brutal for Roosevelt as the exhausted president led the global fight against fascism. Ignoring

doctors' orders and pleas from his own family, he decided to run again in 1944. He defeated Republican Thomas Dewey in another electoral blowout. Without his presidency, FDR's declining health was concealed from the public. The man suffered from partial paralysis, that was a polio thing, lung problems, heart disease. He often smoked 40 cigarettes a day. On April 12, 1945, FDR was in Georgia, where he began complaining about a terrible headache. He then slumped over in his chair, died from a mass. of stroke at the age of 63.

In 1951, the government ratified the 22nd Amendment to the Constitution, barring any individual from serving more than two terms in the White House. And here's something else you might not know. Franklin Roosevelt's legacy is alive today. Throughout his four terms, the Democrat created 69 agencies to help the country recover from the Great Depression. Many remain in our daily lives, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, FCC, Public Housing, Social Security, and a program that's back in the news this week, food stamps. When FDR created that entitlement back in 1939, four million Americans

receive food. Now, 42 million. Back in a moment. That's annoying. What? You don't hear it? Oh, I don't even notice it. I usually drown it out with the radio. How's this? Oh, yeah, way better. Save on insurance by switching to Bel Air Direct
