Thank you, Bill. It is Monday, November 17, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Operation Charlotte's Web, Gerald Ford to the Caribbean, MSNBC rebrand and jets cornerback shot. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Homeland Security has officially launched an immigration law enforcement operation in Charlotte in addition to its ongoing work in Chicago. The assistant secretary of DHS said America should be able to live without fear of violent criminal illegals hurting them, their families or their neighbors. There have been just some ridiculous examples of repeat criminals getting off the hook again and again. In Charlotte, There was a 15 year old who was arrested a week or so ago for the 111th time. And then, of course, it was in Charlotte where Arynia Zyritska was stabbed in the neck and murdered on the train by Decarlos Brown, Jr. Who was let out of jail again and again and again despite his violent history. On the first day of this operation, border patrol arrested 81 people. According to the New York Times, a flea market that's typically filled with Hispanic vendors was canceled this weekend. Nightclubs in the city that play reggaeton music decided not to open and and Catholic churches were unusually empty on Saturday morning. Advocates said that federal agents were waiting outside church parking lots. The largest and most advanced aircraft carrier in the world crossed into the Caribbean Sea on Sunday. The USS Gerald Ford. Certainly some intimidation against Maduro. The president has said that Maduro is complicit with armed criminal gangs smuggling drugs and people into the United States. Over the last two months, our military has conducted strikes that killed at least, excuse me, 83 people on 22 different vessels in the area. Venezuela announced that they will be launching a massive military exercise across the country involving 200,000 forces. Maduro at an event also sang some of John Lennon's Imagine, which should be a war crime in and of itself. MSNBC is now officially Ms. Now, part of their rebranding effort after splitting off from their parent company, Comcast NBCUniversal today, MSNBC becomes Ms. Now, my source for news, opinion and the world. While our name has changed, who we are has not. You'll find the same commitment to justice, progress and truth. And embarrassingly low ratings. I added that last part. New York jets cornerback Chris Boyd is in critical condition after being shot around 2am Sunday in Manhattan. It happened after getting out of a club. Fight broke out. Shots were fired. He was shot in the abdomen. New York City ranks number four in the country for most stringent gun control. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. You can check it out 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 Monday. Socialism is not a fad. It is here to stay. So we have a socialist mayor in New York City, ma'. Am. Donnie. And then we have a socialist mayor in Seattle, Katie Wilson. And a lot of people are saying, well, what the deuce is going on? We're a capitalist country, always have been. What's the socialism thing? So here is why this is happening. American society is very different now than it was 30, 40 years ago. Everybody knows that. What they don't know is that the public school system has changed dramatically. Now, when I was teaching high school in a ghetto in South Florida, I taught history and I told the urchins what happened from George Washington all the way up to jfk. I gave them the facts. I also explained how their country works, our systems of government and economics. And I got through to a lot of them. Today, that rarely happens. And kids are coddled not only in schools but at home. They expect stuff to be given to them presto socialism. The government will take care of you. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com bill@billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Michael Oberhas, Wellsville, Missouri, your Sunday column was spot on. Communism is able to make its way because of the under 30 crowd. The younger generation has no background of Christianity. Many don't go to church. I was younger. At least I knew who God was. Today, some of the younger people don't know anything about him. And that allows communists to rise. No doubt the communists and atheists are simpatico, although Mandami is a Muslim. Oh, he's not an atheist. Tony Vacara, Tempe, Arizona, your prediction of Pandami winning was easy. What's your prediction in the next 24 months? My prediction is as I said in the Rocky 3 movie Pain, I stole that from Mr. T. Okay. Store billoriley.com Christmas holiday store we got the bundle. 15 books for you. 13 killing books, two confronting books. You want them all? We got them. And if you buy them, we'll give you a free not woke baseball cap. And you can either keep these in an entire set for yourself or or give them away. All right.

And we got them in a variety of colors. Then we got the two pack not wool Christmas ornaments along with the 200 USA 250 ornaments. They'll be on my tree and very reasonably priced. I mean, these are gifts that they're not going to break your bank. Okay. Then we have Confronting Evil and Confronting the Presidents together. A good price.

Now, the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not. No. Today, there are more dual citizens in the USA than any other time in history. Though commonplace, the debate over multiple allegiances actually dates back to the American Revolution. Here is the story. In the 18th century, loyalty to a single nation became paramount. Early Americans were largely suspicious of foreign influence, particularly from England and France. In 1868, the United States Expatriation act made it possible for foreigners to renounce their citizenship and formally become Americans. The law was expanded in 1907, allowing more people to legally migrate to the USA. However, the concept of dual citizenship has always been dubious. As of this year, the federal government officially states that it does not formally recognize dual citizenship, but permits it under specific circumstances. Exceptions are made for foreign business dealings, property ownership, overseas family ties and diplomats. Today, there are more than 9 million Americans who hold foreign passports as well as American documents. 9 million. The largest community comes from Mexico, followed by China, India, Canada, the Philippines, Ireland, the U.K. germany, Italy and Poland. And here's something else you might not know. The foreigners moving to the USA is a growing trend. As everybody knows, that's what the border crossings illegally were all about. But there's a growing trend of Americans heading abroad. Two million US Citizens, not including service members, now permanently live outside the usa. The biggest expat communities can be found in Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, France, Portugal, Switzerland, Australia, Japan. To boost the local economy, many nations are now offering citizenship to wealthy Americans. You can become Portuguese for $200,000. Want to move to Greece? Buy a home worth €40,000. That's about 50,000 bucks. Uruguay is the easiest. Give them money, you'll get a passport. Back in a moment.

A massage chair might seem a bit extravagant, especially these days. Eight different settings, adjustable intensity. Plus it's heated and it just feels so good. Yes, a massage chair might seem a bit extravagant, but when it can come with a car, suddenly it seems quite practical. The Volkswagen Tiguan, packed with premium features like available massaging front seats, it only feels extravagant.
