Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, November 7, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Flights cut, Supreme Court nixes, Pelosi resigns and this book calls it quits. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, major airlines say they are planning to cancel hundreds of flights of on Friday and going into the weekend as the FAA is set to begin limiting flight capacity at 40 major airports across the country. American Airlines said they will cancel about 220 of their 6,000 departures starting Friday, lasting through the weekend. United said they plan to cancel 200 of its more than 5,000 flights. United said that half of the customers who had their flights canceled were able to be rebooked within four hours of their original departure time. So it's not a huge deal yet. We'll see if it gets worse. The Supreme Court yesterday allowed the Trump administration to move forward with new rules regulating all US Passports display of a citizen's biological sex at birth rather than their gender identity. Six to three decision. The conservatives beating out the progressives on the court overriding two lower court decisions as well. Since 1992, passport applicants have been able to obtain documents with sex markers indicative of their chosen gender identity by providing doctor certification that they have undergone clinical treatment for gender transition. But the majority found that the government's interest in maintaining consistent identification and foreign affairs standards outweighed immediate harms to transgender and non binary applicants. Nancy Pelosi will not be seeking re election. Bill Clinton said that Nancy Pelosi has been one of the most effective leaders ever to serve in the United States Congress. Barack Obama said no one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed. And I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act. President Trump said great thing for America. She was evil, corrupt and focused on bad things for our country. I'm honored. She impeached me twice and failed twice. Almost as old as Nancy Pelosi, the Old Farmer's Almanac will print its final issue ever based in Lewiston, Maine. The first Farmer's Almanac was published in 1792. And in 1832, old was added to the title, the Old Farmer's Almanac. This publication is the oldest continuously published periodical and in North America. But 2026 will be its last edition after a continuous 208 year run. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Here's a provocative what are we to think of Americans who are dumb and irresponsible? So if you look at the New York City voting on Tuesday, half of those registered didn't show up. Yes, I know there was a big turnout, but half sat the whole thing out despite a very controversial candidate, Zoran Mandani. They couldn't be bothered to show up. Now, that's their constitutional right. I always say you have a right to be a moron. You don't have a right to commit crimes, but you have a right to be apathetic, uneducated, ill informed. And millions of Americans are absolutely exercising that right. So what are we to think of these people? I have to confess, it's hard for me to be friendly in the face of ignorance. I got a guy who works for me. He's intelligent. He could not care less about what is happening in his country. Do I respect that? I do not. Now, I've never said anything to him, but I could never be friends with him. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billoreilly.com, billoriley.com name in town. If you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Kevin Murphy, New York City, I saw the 60 Minutes interview with Norah O'. Donnell. My opinion, Ms. O' Donnell kept interrupting President Trump, you have to because the president will filibuster. You have to. And I had the same problem with Barack Obama before the interview. I would say to both presidents, look, I don't Want to be boorish. Word of the day. B O O R I S H But I can't let you just go on for two minutes, okay? You run out the clock. So if I go like this with my crooked finger, which I got playing ice hockey, okay, that means I want to get in. And both presidents pretty much respected that. But you can't let him just filibuster. That's no interview. R.D. fleischman, Buckeye, Arizona as we enter the fifth week of the shutdown and seemingly more air traffic control personnel refusing to report for work, why can't President Trump mandate these folks go in because they say they're sick? It's a union. President. Just can't go in and bust a union. There's a limit to the power. Lynn HENZOS GREER, S.C. hey, Bill, I know the shutdown is bad, but I believe things happen for a reason. If not, SNAP would not have been brought to our attention, especially 40 million people receiving that benefit. Now it is being investigated, and the fraud has been going on for so long, we brought to light not being investigated. I wish it would be, but it's not. It's 42 million people. Now, I can't put a percentage on how many are fraudsters, I don't know, but we should have an investigation. Kevin Odette, Warwick, Rhode Island. My wife and I learn a lot from the no Spin news. Well worth premium membership. Thank you. We hope everybody spreads the word. Kevin in my town, Warwick, they recently set up speed cameras, a posted speed of 20 miles per hour. I'm telling you, they're stealing from you. 20 miles an hour in Warwick. I'm not going there. Stealing your money. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 107 years ago, a pandemic ravaged the United States. The disease killed 800,000Americans, including the grandfather of President Trump. Here is the story of this Spanish flu. The virus arrived from Europe in early 1918. The first wave was generally mild. The sick who experienced symptoms like chills, fever and fatigue typically recovered after several days. A second wave, however, was more contagious, and it appeared with a vengeance in the fall of 1918. Victims died within hours or days of developing symptoms, their skin turning blue, their lungs filling with fluid that caused them to suffocate. Twelve months after the virus made landfall in New York City, the average life expectancy in the USA had plummeted by 12 years. In total, the Spanish flu killed 50 million people around the world, took the lives of more Americans in the Civil War, including 35,000 people in New York City alone. One of those victims was a German born immigrant named Friedrich Trump, the grandfather of Donald Trump. In May 1918, the 49 year old from Bavaria suddenly fell ill. He was rushed to his bed in Queens, died the next day. What was initially diagnosed as a deadly case of pneumonia. Friedrich was one of the earliest victims of the Spanish flu. And here's something else you might not know. Influenza remains one of the most dangerous threats to everybody's health. During the flu season, that's October to May, up to 10% of the entire population contracts the virus. Each year, approximately 30,000Americans perish from influenza, mostly the very young and the very old. The bug cost taxpayers $50 billion in medication and hospital stays today. Many doctors recommend an annual flu shot for all Americans. This year. The injection will reduce your chance of contracting the flu by 60%. Back in a moment. Thank you for listening to the O'Reilly update. I am Bill O'Reilly now. No spin, just facts and always looking out for you.
