Thanks, Bill. You're listening to the weekend edition of the O'Reilly update. Here's what's happening this week in America. Operations outside Venezuela, Fetterman falls, Jesse Jackson hospitalized and big changes to Doritos. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, the president has been briefed on options for potential military OPER operations in Venezuela, including a strike on land. The briefing followed the arrival of the USS Gerald Ford. That is our and the world's largest aircraft carrier. This aircraft carrier moved to U.S. southern Command area of operations north of the Caribbean Sea. The carrier is accompanied by 60 aircraft, including F18 fighter jets. Experts say the actions could be nothing all the way to airstrikes on seaports, airports and military facilities. The secretary of War, Pete Hegseth said that this Latin America campaign has been designated Operation Southern Spear. Since September 2, our military has launched 14 strikes and killed 61 people in boats off the coast of Venezuela and Colombia. Senator from Pennsylvania, John Fetterman was rushed to the hospital after falling outside of his house. The 56 year old democrat suffered a ventricular fibrillation flare up, caused him to feel lightheaded, fell and hit his face on the ground. This rhythm can be caused by cardiomyopathy, which Fetterman was diagnosed with in 2022. While on the campaign trail, he suffered a major stroke. That of course, put him in the hospital and left him still jumbling his words. And then in 2023, after he won the election, he checked himself into a hospital to get treatment for depression. Jesse Jackson was also hospitalized yesterday, this for treatment related to his progressive supranuclear palsy diagnosis. His family said he's been managing this neurodegenerative condition for more than a decade. He was originally diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, but they have since settled and confirmed on this PSP diagnosis. PSP is a rare brain disease that affects walking balance, eye movements and swallowing. Pepsico has announced that its Cheetos and Doritos brands are now coming colorless. Not all of them. It's just an option if you would like. They're branded as simply nkd. It took me a while. It's like a cool young people hip way of saying simply naked. Their marketing officer, no color, no artificial flavors, same intensity. That's simply naked. Doritos and Cheetos are pioneering a snacking revolution or a renaissance. If you will. This, of course, comes from pressure from RFK Jr. Who says the government will phase out petroleum based synthetic dyes in our nation's food supply by the end of next year. The color of these new Cheetos and Doritos, it's like a pale yellow. They just look like a potato chip. They'll be in stores December 1st. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by Faith. Hope you have a Great weekend. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

President Trump is floating the idea of a $2,000 direct tariff payment to Americans. And that is obviously a reflection of his concern over high consumer prices, which are hurting the Republicans. But there are a number of important concepts attached to this $2,000 payment and every American wouldn't get it. It depends on income. First of all, it is a giveaway, free stuff. And that's exactly what the Democrats are selling. However, the funds from foreign deals tariffs pay for the largesse. So shouldn't working Americans benefit from that? After all, our hard earned money buys foreign goods and the president can charge countries to get access to the American consumer. That's what a tariff is. If you want to sell stuff in in the usa, you've got to pay up front to the American government. And why do foreign nations want to sell stuff here? Because Americans buy far more things than anyone on earth. So the $2,000 payment is kind of legit. But it's not going to be easy to get it passed. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You you can reach me billoriley.com bill@billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine now let's go to the mail. Dr. Michael Abraham, Abraham's plantation, Florida, Broward County. President Trump has mentioned distributing some of the tariff funds to individuals. Sounds like a clever political move and would be guaranteed to drive the Democrats crazy. But Democrats may try to stop it. I'm not sure how this is going to play out, Doctor, but we're on it and I hope it does play out. If you read my message of the day on BillORiley.com I explain why we deserve the 2000s, not just the handout. Scott Kirkland, San Jose, California. While President Trump frequently makes himself available to the media, I can't recall him making an Oval Office address. I think he should do so to clarify the shutdown and his plan for the tariffs. I agree. I think a nationwide short, though, is what we're doing to get prices down. Here's where the tariff money is going. I agree. Carol Concierge Member Carol gets direct access to me. If there are many ways for Donald Trump to bring down prices, then name them. Well, I didn't say there were many ways to bring down prices. I don't know. There's a lot of complications, a lot of people involved. If I knew, I'd tell you. It's a complicated mess to bring down prices in a capitalistic system because the government does not have control over that. They don't have control over wages and prices. Anthony, Indianapolis I believe that leaders like man Donnie will never abolish police. Well, they can't abolish the police. They can cut the funding. You want to cut the funding to the cops. That's what they want. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Sixteen years ago this week, the House passed the biggest overhaul of America's health care system in half a century. Today, 24 million Americans receive insurance through the federal program. Here is the story of Obamacare, approved by Congress in late 2009 and signed into law by President Obama in 2010. The Affordable Care act extended financial aid to Americans not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid. Based on a person's income, they could purchase health insurance on the Internet through a so called digital marketplace. Anyone earning less than $100,000 a year was eligible for the government subsidy. Under new guidelines, insurers were forced to accept all applicants regardless of pre existing conditions. They include diabetes and cancer. And also the insurers had to take on severely disabled people. So they raised their premiums to offset that. Obamacare required all Americans to purchase health insurance. You didn't have a choice. If you did not, you had to pay a penalty to the irs. That provision was eventually struck down by the Supreme Court. According to the Congressional Budget Office, Obamacare was projected to cost around $800 billion for the first 10 years. Despite numerous challenges, the subsidy remains intact. Here's where it stands today. Premiums have soared to historic levels. 2009, the average insurance price for an American was about $4,000 a year. Now that figure has exploded to 9,000. Typical cost for a family of four, 30,000 bucks a year for health insurance. The actual taxpayer price tag for Obamacare is double. The initial projection now standing at $1.5 trillion. That's what the government shutdown was all about. Democrats want to extend it. Republicans do not. You decide. Back after this.
