Thank you, Bill. It is Tuesday, January 6, 2026. Here's what's happening today in America. A decent man, Monroe Doctrine update, Vance home break in and the fall of walls. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Nicholas Maduro pleaded not guilty to narco terrorism charges yesterday in a Manhattan courtroom. The judge asked, are you, sir Nicolas Maduro Moros? And Maduro said through an interpreter, I am the president in Venezuela. I was captured at my home in Caracas, Venezuela. The judge interrupted him and said, there will be time to challenge your custody later. He then admitted who he is. The judge read him his rights and Maduro said, I did not know of these rights. Your honor is informing me of them now. He said, how do you plead to the indictment? And Maduro responded, I am innocent. I am not guilty. I am a decent man. I'm still president of my country. The judge in this case, by the way, is 92 years old. In other Monroe Doctrine news, a U.S. navy plane was spotted circling near Mexico's coast after Trump threatened Mexico, the cartels in Mexico with military action, a P8 Poseidon off the coast of Tijuana, just south of San Diego. Our president recently said the cartels are running Mexico whether you like it or not. It's not nice to say it, but the cartels are running Mexico. Back in November, the president said, would I launch strikes in Mexico to stop drugs, it's okay with me. Whatever we have to do to stop drugs, I didn't say I'm doing it, but I'd be proud to do it because we're going to save millions of lives by doing it. Also in Monroe Doctrine news, Stephen Miller said on CNN that the United States is the power of NATO. For the United States to secure the Arctic region to protect and defend NATO and NATO interests, obviously Greenland should be a part of the United States. The prime minister of Denmark said if the United States decides to militarily attack another NATO country, then everything would stop. That includes NATO and therefore post World War II Security. A 26 year old male tried to break into J.D. vance's home in Cincinnati, Ohio. He's been charged with one count of obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering, criminal trespass and vandalism. The vice president was at his home on Saturday after the U.S. operation Venezuela, but then returned to D.C. on Sunday afternoon. The vice president said that a crazy person tried to break in by hammering the windows of his home. And he thanked the Secret Service and Cincinnati police for their quick response. Tim Walls, the governor of Minnesota, said he will not seek re election. All the Somali fraud was too much for him. And in a lovely corrupt twist, Amy Klobuchar, the current senator of Minnesota, may run for governor. If she were to win as governor, she can appoint, she will appoint her replacement to the US Senate, who could be Tim Walls. So praise God, he's not our vice president. But this may not be the last you see of Tim Walsh. I'm Mike Slater. Bill O'Reilly's back with your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the day on this Tuesday for the opening message of 2026. I'm going to be unkind. George Stephanopoulos has recertified his status as a nitwit, which has been growing ever since Donald Trump entered politics. George, who cost ABC News about $16 million in legal costs last year after calling the president a rapist, is very concerned there's no legitimate basis to justify the removal of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro. Apparently, all the ABC News producers who tended George couldn't find the time to research the story, most likely because ABC now does so many weather related reports the staff has fallen out of touch with real news. If you want to know whether it was cloudy in Caracas when US Special Forces grabbed Maduro, ABC is your go to. But if you're looking for actual facts, keep your focus here. On November 24, 2025, the Trump administration designated the Cartel de Los Solas as a terrorist organization. That means the USA can legally use military force against it. Los Solos smuggles narcotics into America and does a number of other criminal things. Maduro is allegedly involved with the group. At least that's what the Justice Department says. That is the legal basis for Trump's action against Old nick, who the CIA believes has 200 million stashed away. Wow. Who knew being the dictator of Venezuela paid so well? Do you think George Stephanopoulos knows any of this? I don't. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoreilly.com, billorilly.com, name in town if you wish to opine. Male Dave Swens in South Jordan, Utah. Hey, Bill, will you or someone else please play My Maduro is taken to New York for detention. So many corrupt judges and socialist mayor wouldn't be released with no bail. It's a federal beef, Dave. There's a difference between federal law and state law. The detention center is in New York. Now, they could have taken them to Miami like Noriega. It's up to the Justice Department where they wanted to take them. But New York has no power sway over Maduro. Justice is federal or state or local and each has different rules. But federal is the most powerful. Brent, concierge member thank you, Brent. And please go to billorilly.com check that out. I'll enhance your life in 2026. Bill, what you say is true. You ask that good people get involved in in 2026. I think they will. In fact, they're already getting involved and we're seeing it in Minnesota. I'm not seeing that, Brent. I am not seeing a popular uprising against corruption in this country. I hope it happens, but I'm not seeing it. ROBERT doyle, BROOKLYN there's no such thing as price gouging in a free market. All prices are exactly as they should be, higher than appropriate prices, quality caused by one thing, government interference. All right, Robert, I got to get you back into the real world here. Number one, when you buy insurance, it's not the free market. Do you understand that? You can't buy insurance across state lines. The state sets what you can and can't buy, so there's no competition. So the rates go through the roof. You get that. That's not a free marketplace. And there are a lot of other products in the same situation. Okay? And so there is price gouging. Oil companies gouge, medical gouges, insurance gouges, because it's not free competition. Real world, tough place. In a moment, something you might not know. Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. One hundred and seven years ago today, the 26th president of the United States died suddenly at his home on Long Island. His death ended the fascinating life of one of the most consequential figures in American history. Here is the story of Theodore Roosevelt. Young Ted was a sick child, suffered from severe asthma, migraine headaches. Despite doctors orders that he remained passive, young Teddy overcame his health issues by embracing the outdoors. He later attended Harvard and came to New York, where he won a seat in the state legislature in February 1884, TR suffered a catastrophic tragedy. Both his mother and his wife died on the same day. Stricken by grief, Roosevelt abandoned politics, packing up and heading to the Dakota Territories to be a rancher. But after a blizzard wiped out his herd, Roosevelt returned to the East Coast. He fought in the Spanish American War leading the Rough Riders, then served as governor of New York and was later selected as William McKinley's presidential running mate. In 1901, President McKinley was assassinated and Theodore Roosevelt assumed the Oval Office. T.R. s tenure is known for environmental conservation. For a decade, the federal government created national parks, forests, established historic monuments across the U.S.A. in total, Theodore Roosevelt saved 230 million acres of land. And here's something else you might not know. After his time in the White House, Roosevelt traveled to the jungles of Brazil. That voyage ended very badly. The tropical climate aggravated his childhood symptoms and his health fell apart. Theodore Roosevelt returned to Long island, passed away in his sleep at Sagamore Hill. He was just 60 years old.
