Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, December 19th. Merry Christmas. Here's what's happening today in America. Inflation, numbers, denaturalization, sex rejecting surgery and AOC polling. It's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the president gets briefed on inflation numbers before they are released to the public. So the president went into his speech the other day knowing that good news was coming with the economy. The expectation for inflation over the last two months was 3.1%. The official survey of economists expectations, the lowest prediction was 2.9%. The actual number, 2.7%. And looking at specific categories, food inflation over the last two months up only 0.1%. Shelter up only 0.2% for the last two months. That's the slowest increase in five years. Some categories all the way down, women's clothing down 1%. And even among categories that tariffs would hit the hardest, inflation is historically low. It's also creates more room for the Fed to cut rates at their next meeting. And if this keeps up, well, first of all, it's amazing for America, but politically, if this keeps up, this will destroy the only thing that the Democrats have to run on for midterms, that is affordability. A professor at Harvard University was on CNN to talk about these numbers. He said it was a better number than anyone was expecting. Positive news. There's no other way to spin it. Our United States Citizenship and Immigration Services Department is setting out a plan to denaturalize naturalized Americans, those who have been found to have fraudulently secured that legal status. Their focus is to refer to 100 to 200 denaturalization cases every month to the agency's Office of Immigration Litigation. Now, this isn't unprecedented. There's about a dozen denaturalization cases every year. This would just be quite the increase in the four years of the Biden presidency. They awarded citizenship to 3.5 million foreign nationals, which is by far the most naturalizations of any single presidential term ever, more than Carter, Reagan and H.W. bush combined. Worth noting that this president often mentions that Congresswoman Elon Omar rumors have it, married her brother in order to secure citizenship. Here, Health and Human Services announced that they are going to prevent hospitals from all sex rejecting procedures on children under the age of 18. According to HHS, nearly 14,000 minors receive sex rejecting procedures have received them from 2019 to 2023. This term, sex rejecting procedure is the opposite of the left's term gender affirming care. AOC was shown a poll about a hypothetical presidential matchup between her and J.D. vance. She's winning 51 to 49. AOC said I would stop him. Oh, please run. I'm Mike Slider. From Politics By Faith, Bill O'Reilly is your message of the day next.

Let's face it, the US Economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold.

Please call 866-326-5576 or text bill to 998-899. Again, that's 866-326-5576, or text bill to 998-899. Time now for the O'Reilly Update. Message of the day on this Friday. If the midterm election were held today, the Republicans would get waxed. Americans are not a patient people and often vote emotionally. Struggling to pay bills is very emotional. Yes, President Biden screwed up the economy with massive federal spending and little oversight or problem solving. But the folks are long past old Joe. Bringing him up is like saying the Mets collapsed last summer. It's true, but so what? It's over. New season ahead. President Trump campaigned on bringing prices down. He's done that somewhat. Gasoline, the most prominent. But other prices have gone up. Some stuff in the grocery store like meat and insurance. That's the big one. So the president has got to deal with that and he understands that it will be him. People are voting on next November in the midterms. But in order to get the turnout that President Trump and Republicans need to hold both houses, there has to be a strong turnout for Mr. Trump. Again, that's not going to be easy, but Mr. Trump believes he can pull it off. However, he needs to cut down on unforced errors like that Rob Reiner thing. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com, billoriley.com, name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Don Label, Bradenton, Florida. I was watching Scripps Howard News this morning when a host presented her story on unemployment. She didn't give the whole story as you did, O'Reilly. Porter stated 105,000 jobs were lost but failed to mention majority are federal government positions. Why would she? Number one, she probably doesn't know. All right, doesn't know. And number two, even if she did know, if you actually provide context to the unemployment number, you help Donald Trump and Scripps Howard didn't want to do that. Debbie Hibbert, Lebanon, Oregon. I fully support everything President Trump is doing regarding the war on fentanyl. My question are these actions also preventing other deadly drugs, cocaine, heroin from getting across our borders? Debbie, fentanyl is not under attack by the Trump administration yet. All cocaine, all those boats you see blown out of the water, cocaine. Now, cocaine can get turned into crack. And cocaine itself very dangerous. A lot millions of addicts, but no fentanyl. Fentanyl comes from Mexico. Now, we had U.S. troops because of the new law just signed on the Mexican border. If I'm Mexico City coming. Terry Christopher, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. you don't understand why 50% of the Jewish people in New York City voted for Mandani. It's simple. The Democrat religion is more important than their Jewish religion. Some of them, some of them, I think most of these are secular Jews who aren't practicing, distant from their faith. And that's who supported Mandami because he is an anti Semite. In a moment, something you might not know. Have you heard of Gold Belly?

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not no 27 years ago today, the House of Representatives passed two articles of impeachment against Bill Clinton. While the scandal derailed his political agenda, it also caused Clinton's popularity to actually go up. Here is the story. January 1998. Editors at Newsweek, the Washington Post, the New York Times all received credible reports of an affair between President Clinton and a White House intern named Monica Lewinsky. Both the Clintons, Bill and Hillary, denied it. The first lady dismissed the accusation as part of a, quote, vast right wing conspiracy. President Clinton then held a press conference where he made the following now famous.

Bill Clinton
Statement, but I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie. Not a single time.

Mike Slater
Never.

Bill O'Reilly
In August 1998, Bill Clinton became the first sitting president to testify as a subject of a grand jury investigation. Days later, he addressed the nation chief executive, finally admitting he did have an inappropriate relationship with Ms. Lewinsky. On December 19, the House passed two articles of impeachment, perjury and obstruction of justice. After a five week trial in the Senate, Clinton was acquitted. No Democrats voted to remove him. And 2/3 of the 100 senators are needed to convict and remove a president from office. And here's something else you might not know. News of the scandal was first reported on the recently formed Internet back then. So it broke as a small piece on the Drudge Report just after midnight, January 17, 1998. The headline, quote, blockbuster report, 23 year old white House intern sex relationship with President unquote.
