Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, October 16th, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. Supinas to the Omar's. Eight states sue chat GPT. Harry Stiles has a new tour partner, and Trump wins in Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It's all coming up, and Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the Department of Justice has issued subpoenas to relatives of Congresswoman Elon Omar from Minnesota as part of its immigration-related investigation into the Somalia-born Congresswoman.

This, of course, after the search warrant authorized raid of her home approved by a federal judge. Officials are looking for more evidence of fraud and false statements regarding immigration paperwork. It looks like the investigation into Omar may center around her birthday and whether she committed immigration fraud when immigrating to the United States with her father in the 80s. We dedicated Monday's episode of politics by faith to the whole background of this issue. This is not about her, the accusation of her marrying her brother. That was to get him a green card. This has to do with her dad, who, by the way, was a colonel in the Somali army with the Marxist dictator who lost the civil war. That's why they fled the country with his family.

More on that on my podcast, Politics by Fate. Eight states filed lawsuits against Open AOD, accusing the company of lying to parents about JATGTP's safety. and exposing children to serious harm. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, West Virginia, Arkansas, Arizona, Idaho, and Montana filed this lawsuit. The allegations include that chat GPT, coached users towards suicide,

helped users harm others, and gave dangerous medical advice. One case cited in the filing involves a Texas teenager who died from an overdose after getting what the suit calls dangerous guidance from the chatbot. British citizen Harry Stiles

was at Madison Square Garden, and in his concert he said, I just want us to take a moment to think about Oscar Belgall. He said, the people who don't look like you and who aren't born where you're from, they deserve respect and love and dignity and justice. While the Republican candidate for governor of New York, Bruce Blakeman, said, I think Harry Stiles should put that guy on his tour bus and tour around the country, who's a convicted criminal.

He's alleged to have gang activity, alleged to be involved in drug dealing poison to our children. This is who he wants in our communities. In other immigration news, the Trump. administration won a big case in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. California passed two laws, the No Vigilantees Act and the No Secret Police Act, which says non-uniform federal agents have to show ID. Well, the courts have struck down both of those.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Friday, I'm thinking about Donald Trump's diesel deal with Russia. The president is reducing the tariffs on Putin's fuel to lower costs, not only here in the USA, but all around the world. Now, Moscow can circumvent the economic sanctions and sell oil. Now, I don't know why Donald Trump has done this. I'm trying to find out. So far, I've come up with nothing. If you look at the president's past, this is typically a prelude to a larger agreement he wants to make.

Unfortunately, few of these deals have come to fruition in the last two years. So maybe it's a backdoor play. Again, I don't know. It's causing a lot of problems in Europe that I do know. And the American left, as well as some conservatives in the USA, don't like it either. People do not understand why we're not punishing Putin to the full extent. According to NATO, his invasion of Ukraine has caused a deaths of a half million people. The actual toll is probably higher.

So why give Russia some economic relief? The answer again is, I don't know. Perhaps Mr. Trump thinks it will lower world energy prices. Long shot. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill o'Reilly.com.

Not everyone has ambition. So the rest of us have to pay for that? According to far left, we do. We got to pay all the bills for the heroin addicts. Crazy. But it's there. Sam Taylor, Goldsbrose,

Goldsboro, North Carolina. After watching the interview with Geraldo, I have one question. How do you and I come up with any common ground with a person who thinks like Geraldo does? I got common ground with Geraldo on a number of issues. He's not a loon, but I don't think he's thought this radical stuff through. Dangerous. Charles, I have to finish reading, confronting America. For the Leibney, I can't understand why your friends, liberal friends, don't like the book.

As a registered independent and voted from Democrats in the past, it's just common sense. Yeah, but common sense isn't what we have anymore. We have ideology, which is the opposite of common sense. It's zombieism. Okay, we got the column. We got Geraldo and me, debating. the midterms. And on Thursday, we have a new, we'll do it live with Stephen A. Smith. Get ready for that.

Now that's music to your ears. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. The specter of Karl Marx, once again haunting the USA. His most recent incarnation is New York City Mayor Zaraan Mam Dani, who actually wants to seize the means of production in the city. But the socialist movement is a long history in America, dating back to the late 19th century. Here are the most famous communists in the USA.

say. Eugene Debs, union leader, ran for president five times. Clothes as he came was in 1920, when he won 3.4% of the popular vote that was in the Great Depression. Debs enjoyed election night from a federal penitentiary where he was incarcerated for protesting America's entry into World War I. Elizabeth Flynn, she was active in feminist politics and joined the Industrial workers of the world movement. In 1920, she co-founded the American Civil Liberties Union. There you go. Flynn was eventually charged as spreading communist propaganda and served two years in prison. Angela Davis, best known for championing the rights of black prisoners during the 1960s when numerous cases gained national attention. After several prison guards were killed, Davis was accused

of assisting the plotters, became one of the FBI's most wanted individuals. She was ultimately acquitted of all the charges. And finally, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, the New York couple, were arrested for sharing nuclear secrets with the Soviet Union. They both admitted to being members of the Communist Party, but denied any involvement with the USSR. The Rosenbergs were charged with espionage, found guilty executed by the electric chair in 1953.

And here's something else you might not know. Though diminished, the Communist Party, USA, remains an active political organization. Group has 11,000 members down from 100,000 in 1930. Today, the highest positions held by members of the party are seats on the city councils, Ithaca, New York, Bangor, Maine. back after this. Hold music. Not exactly what you want to hear
