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 Thursday, October 2, 2025. Here's this happening today in America. The Schumer shutdown, Supreme Court helps cook, gang raid in Chicago, and the Memphis surge begins. It's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. First, Senate Democrats had a chance yesterday to stop the Schumer shutdown, but no Democrat broke the ranks other than the three who did the last vote. This is a very easy story.

The Democrats can't get a foothold on any issue. They thought that if they shut the government down, they could get attention to health care. And Trump said, you guys want health care free illegal aliens. And they said, no, we don't. And now one day later, Congressman Ro Kana out of San Francisco said health care of illegal aliens is only a very small percentage of government health care. This would be step two in the four-step process.

Step one is it's not really happening. Step two, yeah, it's happening. but it's not a big deal. Step three, it's a good thing, actually. And step four, the people freaking out about it are the real problem. We're at step two right now. Okay, fine, it's happening, but it's not a big deal. The vice president said that Schumer is catering to the far left of his party because he's terrified of a primary challenge in his Senate seat, which would be from AOC. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Lisa Cook, member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Every member of the board of governors has a 14-year term unless they can be removed for cause.

but the law doesn't specify what for cause means. A district court said that allegations of mortgage fraud did not qualify as enough cause. The Supreme Court yesterday declined to immediately remove her from her position, leaving her in place until at least the justices hear the full argument in January. A massive illegal immigration raid in Chicago targeting members of the Trenda-Aragua Venezuelan gang resulted in over two dozen arrests. The raid involved several different agencies and three. 300 federal officers.

This took place in Chicago's South Shore neighborhood. A Border Patrol official said they were specifically targeting six particular Trenda-Iragua gang members. There are videos of dozens of federal officials as well as a helicopter over an area. It's been described as an unprecedented show of federal force. In similar news, Stephen Miller spoke with other officials in Memphis as a part of the Memphis Safe Task Force. He said the idea that there is a square inch of blocking.

in this city where a citizen doesn't feel safe is unacceptable. To the Memphis Police Department, to the officers I see sitting in front of me, we are about to provide you with a level of support you cannot even imagine. This is not just a task force. This is a all-of-government unlimited support operation. ATF, DEA, FBI, ICE, Department of War, every resource we have. And they're not going to be sitting behind a desk at a keyboard. We're sending in real cops with guns and badges to go out with you on the street every night making arrests. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast, Politics by Faith.

On this Thursday, the Justice Department is looking at 95-year-old George Soros for possible criminal activity. The theory is that old George has donated money to radical left groups that have been embrace violence. If charged, Soros could potentially face RICO statutes that he funded criminal enterprises. The Soros lawyers, of course, deny all wrongdoing, and this would be a very difficult case to prove. But George has powerful enemies in Washington right now. Born in Hungary, Soros is an American citizen. Estimated wealth stands at about 7.5 billion, according to Forbes magazine. Over the years, the financier has given away an estimated 15 billion, mainly to far-left

groups. He donated $500,000 to help Joe Biden get elected president the largest amount Biden has ever received. To be fair, the record shows that George Soros has also given substantial money to children's charities. The political Soros money has done substantial damage to America. He's funded radical DAs like Kim Fox in Chicago, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, George Gastrone in Los Angeles. These people have allowed violent crime to surge. I've been reporting on Soros for three decades. Still can't figure out why he wants soft on crime policies as well as anti-capitalist politicians. But he does. No question. However, that's not a crime. But a criminal referral will hurt him.

Will it happen? Good chance. 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.

Now let's go to the mail. Concierge member, John, John gets a direct line to me. None of the major networks believe in free speech. The only place right now is News Nation. We can get opposing points of view, but without basic knowledge of the actual truth, you still don't know what's going on. That is the main reason to listen to O'Reilly. Thank you. We give an awful lot of information on the NOSBIN News every single day.

Information is power. Perry, a bill, what confuses me is that somehow Jimmy Kimmel's punishment originated from the Trump administration. It's another case of misinformation. Another attempt to paint the Trump administration in a bad light. Viewers started this by calling their local stations and complaining about Kimmel. Absolutely right. That's exactly what happened. Mary Hughes, Munzi, Indiana.

Hey, Bill, thanks for being a calm voice in the chaos. You fact-checked Alexandria Ocasic Gretez and a lie she told. Why are there no charges against her? Because they weren't told under oath. in front of a congressional hearing or to an FBI agent. That's perjury. You can say whatever you want under the First Amendment, Mary. I've got to get charged. Aaron Lechner, Denver, Colorado.

As I was reading through Confronting Evil, I realized what an excellent compendium it is to the no-spin news.

in your everyday life. So confronting a colossal success, and we thank you all. In a moment, something you might not know. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. Our country's back. We're really back. Candid conversations with the people making the rules. and changing the game.

Can you see yourself as president one day? I don't think about death. You just had an invasion over our southern border. My husband is in the corner for the record, pumping his fist right now that you're asking this question. This is real talk with lawmakers, newsmakers, and political disruptors. I think Elon's poor probably fences himself more of a Viking.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might. Not know. 75 years ago today, a new comic strip debuted across the USA. Originally titled Lil Folks, the cartoon soon became known as Peanuts.

Here is the story. Born November, 1922 in Minneapolis, illustrator Charles Schultz, was the son of German immigrants. In 1937, the teenager began sketching his dog, Spike. He later renamed Spike Snoopy. Charles briefly abandoned his career to serve in World War II, but in 1947, he began working on Lil Folks. The comic featured Charlie Brown, his friends, family, and dog. On October 2, 1950, the strip was renamed Peanuts and published nationwide.

Unlike other cartoons, Charlie Brown and Company featured human plots about life, depression, aging, religion, morality, and it became an instant success. The first television special at Charlie Brown Christmas premiered in 1965, one of my favorites. Numerous holiday editions followed, including Be My Valentine, the Great Pumpkin, and a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. For the next 40 years, the Peanuts crew became some of the most recognizable characters on earth. They've appeared in 20 TV shows, 40 books. four full-length movies, and 30,000 comic strips, distributed to more than 75 countries around the world. According to Business Insider magazine, Peanuts generates $2 billion a year in merchandise, media, and ad revenue.

Creators Schultz died from cancer, February 2000. He was 77 years old. And here's something else you might not know. The influence of Peanuts even extends to space. In 1969, the command module for the Apollo 10 mission was named Charlie Brown. The lunar lander was designated Snoopy. Schultz even created a special drawing that NASA scientists placed inside a the spacecraft, back after this.
