Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, November 6, 2025. Here's what happening today in America. A clear choice, ups crash victims, two more arrested in Halloween attack and Americans debt is at a record high. That's all coming up. And Bill is going to be here with your message of the day of a first Trump. Trump was at a Senate breakfast yesterday and he said to the group of senators last night it was, you know, not expected to be a victory. It was very democratic areas. But I don't think it was good for Republicans. I don't think it was good. I'm not sure it was good for anybody. He wrote on Truth Social three different posts. First, Trump wasn't on the ballot and shutdown were the two reasons that Republicans lost elections tonight. He also wrote pass voter reform, voter id, no mail in ballots, save our Supreme Court from packing, no two state additions, et cetera, terminate the filibuster. And finally, he wrote Republicans, terminate the filibuster, get back to passing legislation and voter reform. He later spoke at a business leader event in Miami. And he said last year on this day is when he was elected, the American people reclaimed our government. We restored our sovereignty. We lost a little bit of sovereignty last night in New York, but we'll take care of it. He said Miami will soon be the refuge of those fleeing communism in New York City. And the president said after last night's results, the decision facing all Americans could not be more clear. We have a choice between communism and common sense. As long as I'm in the White House, the United States is not going communist in any way, shape or form. We will stop it. We're going to stop it. We're going to stop the nonsense. The death toll has increased from that UPS plane crash. It's increased to nine. The left engine separated from the plane as it was leaving the airport in Louisville, got enough altitude to clear the fence of the airport, but ended up striking structures off airport property about three miles south of the airfield. Fifteen people were sent to the hospital, too, in critical condition in the burn center. Officials say the search and recovery efforts will continue for at least a week or longer. Two New Jersey teenagers were arrested in connection with the alleged ISIS inspired Halloween attack in Michigan that the FBI said they stopped from happening. The NYPD and FBI Newark arrested Thomas Kahn Guzel, 19 years old, but before he could board a flight to istanbul, the other 19 year old, Milo Sedanet, was also arrested Guzel allegedly planned to travel in two weeks to Turkey and then to Syria. But it's believed he got spooked after last week's arrest and moved his flight up. American households debt record High total household debt $18.59 trillion. That's up 197 billion from just last quarter. Overall debt levels are up $4.4 trillion since the end of 2019, just before the COVID pandemic. American's student loan debt 1.65 trillion. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Here we go count on Sundays with the NFL on CBS and Paramount. Plus, this is incredible. Watch your local NFL game live all season and he's in for a touchdown. Visit paramountplus.com NFL to get started today. Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the Day. On this Thursday, Republican voters were not as motivated as Democrats on Tuesday's election. That's pretty much the story. Because President Trump was not directly involved, the GOP got hammered in Virginia, New Jersey and New York City. Next year at this time, Mr. Trump's legacy will be on the line in the midterm. So it should be a different look. The country is about equally divided at this point between the left and the right. So the performance of the candidates is vital. In New York, Zohan Mamdani was a much better presence on the trail than Andrew Cuomo. Younger voters who have no idea what socialism actually is simply saw an energetic guy who promised to give them things. Mandami is the ghost of Fidel Castro. In addition, cities like New York and Los Angeles now have so many foreign born voters that American traditions like self reliance and competition are losing strength. Now that's not a swipe at immigrants. It is just a different perspective. Finally, the TV nitwits who say yesterday's vote is a harbinger of November 2026 are wrong as usual. Many things will happen over the next 12 months. The country will be much different now. Next November, count on it. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com billorilly.com Name in town if you wish to opine. Male John Caledo, Lakeside, California. I figured out why Democrats have kept the government shut down. Their plan is to wait until the election, then open things up so they can gain as much traction as possible. And the plan worked. Plan worked. And I do believe that's. You're right on on that. But it'll open up. Hope it does. Rob Deschano, Clifton Park, New Jersey Hey Bill, I know you've been providing a lot of insight into what is dangerous about socialism and I agree 100%. Every election where we avoid that. Socialism is great, but the bigger picture I see happening is a gradual drift further left goes in cycles and if Maam Donnie fails, that's going to really hurt the progressive socialist movement in this country. Sandra Dunleavy Jackson, Wyoming One of the nicest towns Bill, you do predictions, Let me do one. I think Mamdani is setting the stage for the future. He will show us a very watered down version of communism so those among us who don't know any better will think it's not so bad. But it's his performance. Sandra got to perform 34 years old. I said on WABC this morning, guy should be running a Carvel. He's running the biggest city in the country. I don't have a lot of confidence in that. If I'm wrong, I will admit it. Message Board Sherry, Concierge member now. I'll give you the pitch in a moment on concierge member Sherry Hey Bill, thank you for explaining the tariffs. I learned so much from watching you. I wish more people would. So do we. And that's why we are going on a big campaign to get concierge and premium members and you guys could help us. I hope you do.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Thirteen years ago today, Barack Obama defeated Mitt Romney, securing his second term in the White House. Here is the story of the 2012 presidential election. After Mr. Obama's first four years in office, his approval rating hovered just below 50%. With the war in Iraq mostly over, voters turned their attention to domestic issues. The economy, health care. Throughout the year, the Republican primary was a four way race. Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, Libertarian Ron Paul, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. By July, Romney had secured the nomination. The Republican immediately attacked Barack Obama's vision of a, quote, European style welfare state. He advocated for fewer regulations, lower taxes, and vowed to repeal the Affordable Care act, better known as Obamacare. Well, President Obama didn't like that at all and focused heavily on Romney's business record. He depicted the governor as an elite capitalist who preyed on small business and the working class. The candidates held their first debate in early October. Romney was seen as an aggressive and energetic opponent, President Obama a bit lethargic and long winded. The two held their second exposition 13 days later. The format was more friendly to Obama, featuring a live Q and A with the audience. The final debate took place one week later. The display saw both candidates finding common ground on Iran, Israel, Syria. Though cordial, Mitt Romney faced growing criticism from Republicans for failing to directly confront Barack Obama's record on rising health care costs, a terror attack on the US Council in Libya, and the Fast and Furious gun running scandal. Predictably, the media tried to conceal the president's deficiencies. On October 6, 2012, Barack Obama beat Mitt Romney 332 electoral votes and 206. The Democrat won the popular vote by 4 percentage points. After the defeat, Mitt Romney went on to serve in the Senate from Utah. He left office last January. 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.
