Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, December 2, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Pharma deal, Supreme Court on piracy, special election in Nashville and a TSA record. It's all coming up. And Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the United Kingdom has sealed a deal securing a zero percent tariff for all British medicines exported to America for at least three years. In return, the United Kingdom will spend more on new medicine development and production in America. Our Health and human services secretary, RFK Jr. Said the agreement strengthens the global environment for innovative medicines and brings long overdue balance to US UK Pharmaceutical trade. The Supreme Court is hearing today a case on illegally streamed copyrighted material, movies, TV shows and music. The entertainment industry wants to crack down on this piracy and they want to hold the Internet service providers liable to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars for contributing to copyright infringement. Cox Communications faces a billion dollar penalty awarded by a jury to Sony Music Entertainment because of Cox's involvement in distributing pirated content online. And it was upheld by federal appeals court. Cox said they could go bankrupt if they have to pay the fine. And Cox said we will do everything we can to prevent it, but we can't be held responsible for the actions of individual users who are impossible to pinpoint and trace. Cox says that your Internet service provider does not purposefully participate in what you do online any more than your phone company or FedEx does in the communications they transmit. Big congressional race in Nashville, Tennessee. This is a district that the previous congressman Republican won by 20 points and Trump did as well. He resigned. So there's a special election. It's today too close for comfort for the Republican nominee. The Democrat is Afton Ben. She is a Tennessee state rep. Just a wacky, wacky person. But a survey last week showed that the Republican was only up by two points. Congressman Tim Burchett from Knoxville, he said, folks, we're one flu season away from losing the majority. This is our chance to tell America we've had enough of this far left craziness and everything that this woman represents in the seventh congressional district in middle Tennessee. Polls close today at 8:00pm Eastern. The TSA said that Sunday was the busiest day in history, screening over 3.1 million people nationwide. The previous busiest day was June 22nd of this year. There were over a thousand flight cancellations at 13,000 delays across the country on Sunday because of course of major storms in the Northeast. And speaking of traveling, to convince you to get a real ID if you don't already have one, starting in February, it's going to cost you $45 and 30 minutes of extra work online. To verify your identity, print out a form and hand it to TSA. $45 per trip. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast, Politics by Faith. You can listen to that anywhere you listen to podcasts. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on this Tuesday. At Mass last Sunday, the gospel posited that a significant amount of people will go to hell, so they might want to wise up before it's too late. And a recent Gallup Survey says about 60% of Americans believe in damnation. Evangelicals leading the league on that. The Catholic priest sermonize about the prospect of Gehenna. But gently these days, the church rarely pounds home theological negativity, preferring to encourage good behavior from the pulpit. It's tough enough to get folks in the pews telling them a fire pit may await. Doesn't make it any easier. The hell thing, of course, has been around since human beings harnessed fire to cook food and keep warm. Back at the first Thanksgiving, the Puritan sermonizers spent hours threatening their flock with eternal suffering if their knee socks were too low or something. Plymouth was a tough place. In the modern world, miscreants are running wild, seemingly without restraint. None of the 15 horrendous human beings we profile in my book Confronting Evil ever repented. Not one. To me, it just doesn't stack up that a person can consistently harm others with no final judgment or consequence. I hope that is not the case, because if it is, we are all living in a meaningless world without true justice. And that would be a hell of a thing. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, bill@billoriley.com bill@billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine. All right. Let's go to the mail. We have Andrew DeSanto, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. That's Joe Biden territory, and Andrew is a Marine veteran. Thank you for writing. Andrew O'Reilly, you've stated the polls indicate Americans feel we're going the wrong direction. Yeah, but the polls don't say why. Is it because we're not pulling together? We're in a massive ideological tug of war, and I don't like it. Well, I don't like it either, Andrew, but you got to deal with reality and history. We're in a cultural civil war. It's going to get worse next year as we will report tomorrow. I'm going to lay it out for you, not that anybody can do about that. A lot of factors involved. Donald Nace, Lakeland, Florida. I'm having problems sleeping after that assault on a National Guard troops. I'm a proud vet, but I find very little to be thankful for anymore. You know, it just depends. We're still the greatest country in the world, still have the most opportunity. We still have the most stuff. We're trying to do the right thing most of the time. I don't think I'd be that dire about it or dour. But you got to fight the good fight. You have to. Janice McEwen, Rockville, Missouri Excellent column this weekend, Bill. As you state, President Trump's personality hasn't really changed. You describe all of that in the United States of Trump. Thank you for mentioning that. I do feel the president cares about Americans and relates to working people. I've watched them for years. I've watched you for years because you speak the truth. We try. I can't ever remember. I never have deceived you, ever in 50 years doing this, ever. Why would I do that? I would destroy my whole legacy in a moment. Something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 202 years ago today, the president of the United States issued an international decree. Going forward, the entire Western Hemisphere was off limits to European colonization. Here's the story behind the Monroe Doctrine. Before the American Revolution, the new world was ruled by traditional powers in Europe. England and France controlled sections of North America. Spain dominated Florida, Mexico, Cuba. The Dutch held islands in the Caribbean. Russia held Alaska. Portugal ran Brazil. Beginning in the 19th century, independence movements spread throughout Europe. And to maintain their control overseas, European countries fought to protect their empires. In Washington, President James Monroe did not like that. So he formalized a new document to stop the chaos On December 2, 1823, Monroe addressed a joint session of Congress. He said, quote, we declare that any attempt by the powers of Europe to extend their system to any portion of this Western hemisphere as dangerous to the peace and safety of these United States. By the turn of the 20th century, Europe had lost nearly all of its territory in the new world. And here's something else you might not know. Donald Trump is resurrecting the specter of President James Madison. The new Don Row document re emphasizes America's control over the entire hemisphere. This time, the threat is not European, but the narco states. They pose a major danger to the usa According to President Trump, the drug cartel spread poison throughout our country. These organizations are directly responsible for the deaths of more than 100,000Americans every year. On another front, Mr. Trump recently demanded Panama end its relationship with Chinese security firms. And the Panamanian president said, okay. Can Donald Trump impose order in this hemisphere? The question remains. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly. No spin, just facts. And always looking out for you.
