Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Homeland Security says they arrested an Afghan national who made a social media post about building a bomb and threatening to blow up a building in Fort Worth, Texas. Mohammed Deywood Alokozeh was arrested on state terror charges. His arrest came just a day before two National Guard members were shot by another Afghan national, 29 year old Ramanula Lock on wall. Stephen Miller, who is the deputy chief of staff for policy and Homeland Security advisor, said, this is the great lie of mass migration. You're not just importing individuals, you're importing societies. No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders at scale. Migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions and terrors of their broken homelands. The president announced Saturday that the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela should be considered closed in its entirety. He wrote to all airlines, pilots, drug dealers and human traffickers, please consider the airspace above and surrounding Venezuela to be closed in its entirety. Last week, the FAA warned major airlines about a potentially hazardous situation in the skies over Venezuela, citing worsening security and heightened military activity that could threaten aircraft at all altitudes. Following that announcement, six international carriers stopped flights to Venezuela's capital. The Venezuelan Foreign Ministry released a statement calling it a hostile, unilateral and arbitrary act incompatible with the most basic principles of international law. Trump's announcement came two days after a call with service members on Thanksgiving where he said land action against the drug traffickers in Venezuela would be starting, quote, very soon. The top vaccine chief at the FDA sent out a memo saying the FDA will seek a stricter review and approval protocol to for vaccine trials. He claimed in the memo that new records linked 10 children's deaths to the COVID vaccine. The FDA commissioner said that the agency would make information available on the deaths related to the COVID shot that he said the Biden administration never did while strongly questioning the necessity of the COVID vaccine in children. The head of the FDA did say that the COVID vaccine worked well for older recipients. The field goal kicker for the Houston Texans made an extra point, but barely. We don't know. We're not no one's really sure it went over the top of the upright. They called it good, but from the usual camera angle, it looked not good at all. The Texans won by four points anyway, so it didn't really matter. But the field goal kicker's name, by the way, John Christian Ka Emanua Lua Lokamana Ikioke Kumapua Fairbairn. He's from Hawaii. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

On this Monday, there is a growing trend that should concern President Trump and his administration. New poll conducted by Pew Research, which is a good outfit, says that Hispanic Americans who largely supported President Trump last time around are bailing. First question in this survey, do you think the Trump administration's policies have been harmful to Hispanics? 78% say yes, helpful to Hispanics, 10%. The rest don't know. Second question, compared with a year ago, do you think the situation of Hispanics in this country is better? 9% worse, 68% about the same, 22%. Last question. A year from now, do you think the situation of Hispanics in this country will will be better? 16% worse? 52 about the same, 31. Now, what's going on? Well, high prices are killing working Americans and that is where most Hispanic voters are, in the working class precincts. And then the ICE raids. I understand what is necessary, but they're pretty harsh. And there is another way to do this and we've gone over that registration. But Hispanics see what they see on television and it's not helping the Trump administration. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com bill@billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Rose Muller, San Diego Bill, you're not wrong about the younger generation. Many of them are lazy. They want what they want. They want it now. I grew up with eight brothers and sisters. We learned the value of hard work at a very early age. And that's it. Parents get.

People don't like to admit mistakes. Simon neal in Jackson, Mississippi. Mr. O, I enjoyed your interview with Howie Mandel. The hour flew by. Did you like his theme song the band came up with? I did. That was an amazing facility that Mandel has in California. We had a great time there. So that's a podcast, Howie Mandel, and you ought to watch it. And I appreciate you watching. Simon. Jeffrey McDonald, Huntington Beach, California, just finished confronting Evil. You're a historian, Bill, but you're also a great storyteller. Putting history into a story form that's most interesting and factual. It's a skill and it's evidenced by your successful books. Well, I'm glad you like Confronting Evil. Tough Sal, for Christmas, put evil in your stocking, yo. Put evil under the tree. So we've twinned it up with Confronting Precedence. You can put them under the tree in a moment. Something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 35 years ago, an international group of engineers met 130ft beneath the English Channel. The teams from Britain and France had finally linked their nations together, a concept that dates back more than two centuries. Here is the story of the Channel Tunnel, or the Chunnel. The idea of connecting Great Britain to mainland Europe was suggested by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802. The emperor envisioned a series of man made islands connected by narrow bridges and subterranean roads. The technology was finally developed in the late 20th century. In 1986, officials from London and Paris signed a treaty authorizing the construction of a 31 mile tunnel under the channel. Over the next four years, 13,000 workers toiled beneath the sea. 8 million cubic meters of soil removed the price tag for all this, $15 billion. On December 1, 1990, the two teams finally met. After the final two was completed, the workers exchanged French and British flags, toasted each other with champagne. Four years later, the channel opened for business. The first to make the underground journey were French President Francois Mitterrand and Queen Elizabeth II. During its height of operation, 60,000 people use a chunnel every 24 hours. That's 21 million travelers a year. Today, folks can make the trek between England and France in less than half an hour. Typical ticket costs $50. And here's something else you might not know. Using the Chunnel became more difficult in 2020 after the passage of Brexit, the UK officially left the European Union. So transit beneath the Channel required passports, customs, even some visas. Service between the two countries down 20% since that time. Back after this.
