Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. Inflation, numbers, denaturalization, sex rejecting surgery and AOC polling. It's all coming up. And Bill's going to 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 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. This 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 the 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 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 Ilhan 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 stomp him. Oh, please run. I'm Mike Slater. From Politics By Faith, Bill O'Reilly is your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update, message of the day. As a reporter who analyzes the news without deceit, I've studied the Trump administration vigorously. It is a non stop assignment as the president is a man of action and transaction, very little downtime. What I don't understand is why the administration walks on the wild side. It allows enemies under the perimeter walls. Why the latest perplexity is is chief of Staff Susie Wiles giving access to Vanity Fair magazine? Based in la? Vanity Fair is essentially a show biz glitz publication that has to lean left if it wants access to Hollywood players. So it embraces liberalism with enthusiasm. Fun fact, President Trump is not liberal and showbiz types mostly loathe him. You knew? I know. Predictably, the Vanity fair piece on Ms. Wiles is unfavorable to the Trump crew. The White House response is that quotes are taken out of context. Not hard to believe, but so what? The salacious stuff is all over the media. Meantime, a decent November economic report is ignored. The media Trump war will continue for the next three years and beyond. No one will win definitively. But those who do not learn from the past will absolutely lose. 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, go to the mail. Mary Ann, tell us, Bill, how President Trump is going to fix the economy that Biden constructed by giving money away to aid wars overseas. The president peace seems to be involved in more wars than ever. Israel, Iran, Russia, Ukraine, now Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia. What next is that what is making America great again means to him? We do not have to dominate the world. We can defend ourselves from it. No, you can't. You can't be isolationist anymore. Okay? If that happened, it would be disaster for our economy, number one and our security, number two. I understand we don't be pumping money into foreign nations with no responsibility. Absolutely. Got that. But we got to engage overseas. And this drug stuff costing us way more than what we're spending to get Maduro out of there. Maduro, he's on the clock. Okay. To Venezuela now. We're boycotting their oil tankers. They can't come out. Just a matter of days. DEBORAH There are probably very few people who seek to buy fentanyl. Larger concern is that it is often mixed with other drugs, sometimes disguised. People can die from it and they don't know they're taking it. Okay, but any illegal narcotic, now every addict knows fentanyl could be in it. They take it anyway because they don't care whether they live or die. Most of them don't care. None of them. Drugs are more important than life. MICHAEL CONCIERGE member and concierge membership is a fabulous Christmas and Hanukkah gift. Non pharmaceutical Fentanyl is a wmd, the same as chemical or biological weapons. Why? Because of the numbers killed. But also consider that this form of fentanyl could easily be used for mask destruction. EVENT not easily, but fentanyl can kill and especially children if it's in a home or something like that. But it's not easy to spread it wide. In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Last week, the Nordic nation of Denmark confirmed it will close its mail delivery system. Will the U.S. postal Service meet the same fate? Here's what's going on. Post Nord, Denmark was established by King Christian IV in 1624. The enterprise became largely antiquated with the invention of email, digital bills. Online banking to modernize the Danish post office will stop delivering small parcels. Private companies will now handle letters and print stamps. Economists say the change will save Denmark 6 million residents, about $30 million a year. Here in the USA, the situation is even more dire. Founded by Benjamin Franklin in 1775, the US Post Office is a massive financial liability. The service currently employs half a million Americans, with another 200,000 earning retirement benefits. Taxpayers pick up the bills. The Post office generates $80 billion in revenue a year because 90 billion operate. That's a $10 billion deficit. As the cost goes up, the demand is plummeting. The volume of mail is down a whopping 50% since 2001. 90% of Americans now pay bills online, compared to 15% two decades ago. The solution for many is to privatize the post office. Right now, the office has a complete minority on service mail. Legally, corporations like FedEx and UPS can only distribute packages and offer express options like overnight delivery. The Fed should allow individual companies to offer letter carrying services. And here's something else you might not know. Right now is the busiest time of year for the post office. Each December, the volume of mail, mostly Christmas cards and gifts, increases by 40% compared to the summertime. To cope with the demand, the USPS hires 15,000 temporary workers, each earning $20 an hour. Back in a moment. That is the weekend edition of the O'Reilly update.
