Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, October 1, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. The government is shut down. No more fat generals, superintendent resigns and tourism down in this city. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, 44 Democrats voted against the House passed spending plan hours before the government shutdown deadline. So we're officially in shutdown mode, the first government shutdown since 2013. The Democrats, the reason they did this is they're sick of being on defense all the time. They think that if they can go into the shutdown, they can make health care a winning issue for them and get on the offense with something. They're calling this a Republican healthcare crisis, but it's not working. A New York Times poll asked if Democrats should go along with a shutdown if their demands are not met. 65% of all respondents said no. Only 27% said yes. Even among Democrats, only 47% said they should shut the government down. 43% said no. Among independents, 32% said shut it down, 59% said no. So Democrats are losing on their PR effort here. The secretary of war, Pete Hegseth, had his big speech in front of our generals stationed all around the world in Quantico. He said, we're ending the war on warriors. No more identity months, DEI offices, dudes and dresses. No more climate change worship. No more division distraction or gender delusions. No more debris. As I've said before, and we'll say again, we're done with that blank. The new War Department golden rule is this, do unto your unit as you would have done unto your own child's unit. Unit. Would you want him serving with fat or unfit or under trained troops or alongside people who can't meet basic standards? Or in a unit where standards were lowered so certain types of troops could make it in? In a unit where leaders were promoted for reasons other than merit, performance and war fighting. He later said, frankly, I'm tired of looking at combat formations, really any formation, and see fat troops. Likewise, it's completely unacceptable to see fat generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon. It's a bad look. It's not who we are. The illegal alien who was the superintendent of the Des Moines school District has resigned his position. He's illegally here from Guyana, and he had a final order of removal and no work authorization. He came to America in 1999 on a student visa and he had his final order of removal in 2024. In a fun twist, he used to be a teacher in Maryland, where he still registered to vote, which is weird because we've been told that that never happens, that that's not allowed to happen. He's not a US citizen. Tourism in Los Angeles is way down 10% this last summer from the summer before, specifically in Hollywood, down 50%. The obvious reason is that Hollywood is a disgusting, filthy trash, homeless and junkie infested wasteland. Word got out and the governor of that state wants to be president. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day.

Next Ford was built on the belief that the world doesn't get to decide what you're capable of. You do. So ask yourself, can you or can't you? Can you load up a Ford F150 and build your dream with sweat and steel? Can you chase thrills and conquer curves in a Mustang? Can you take a Bronco to where the map ends and adventure begins? Whether you think you can or think you can't, you're right. Ready, set, forward.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day on this Wednesday. The high stakes political cage match these days is not between the Democratic Party and the Trump administration. That's a sideshow. No, the real power stakes are much more personal. The president against the corporate media chieftain. That's what the Jimmy Kimmel confrontation was all about. Disney well understands that Mr. Kimmel has a deep loathing for Donald Trump and uses his program to try to hurt him. There's nothing funny about that. And all the whataboutisms in the world cannot justify Kimmel's ceaseless attacks. So when Jimmy tried to blame Trump supporters for Charlie Kirk's murder, an incredibly irresponsible assertion, Disney CEO Bob Iger was forced to suspend the comedian. Iger, as woke as they come, thought the callousness of Kimmel's remarks about the Kirk murder would protect him. Iger was wrong. As I exclusively reported last week, Hollywood talent agencies almost immediately threatened Bob Iger. The Wall Street Journal picked up on my reporting yesterday. If Iger didn't put Kimmel back on the air, many showbiz people would no longer work with Disney. That's how Jim got back. Expect retaliation from the Trump people. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, bill@billoreilly.com bill@billoriley.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now. Let's go to the mail. Let's go to the mail. We got Ron Wojic, Orlando, Florida. President Trump needs to stop trying to help blue states and cities. Let them sit in their own dirt until they realize they have to change. Yeah, but that's a theory. But people are dying. That's President's got responsibility. Renee Garcia, Calimesa, California. Hey, Bill, you dismissed the idea of the progressive liberal factors might be influencing grocery store price hikes. It's true. Supply and demand have always been a primary drivers. But repressive and overreaching remnants of green energy policies are impacting agricultural industry. But that's been going on now for what, six years, five years? So the prices are up over Biden, so that doesn't stack. Douglas Strifling, Richmond, Washington. Your assessment of Mandami's effect on New York is frightening. Wouldn't New York City's council, city council be able to rein him in? They're worse than he is. Worse than he is. It's frightening. Dr. Joseph Mareska, Bronxville, New York. The newscasters are not asking precise question to the mayoral candidates here. Most important question is how will the city pay off its debt obligation of more than $100 billion? It won't. It's not going to. Amendami will double. Triple that. The city will go bankrupt. Penton concierge member don't buy online patented. O'Reilly is correct when he says the entire country will experience collateral damage from the New York City mayor's race. A lot of nerve endings in the city on the other side, a painful example of what could happen to the country. I don't see it happening to the country. New York City is about as left wing as you can get right now. There's a lot of poverty and a lot of people living here who were not born in this country. So they see it differently. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 68 years ago today, the phrase In God we Trust appeared on the US Dollar. Despite numerous legal challenges, the inscription remains. Here is the story. The sentence gained popularity during the Civil War when Union soldiers used the motto to boost morale. Confederate troops also adopted it, claiming the deity was on their side. The inscription was first printed on a 2 cent coin in 1864, then added to other pieces of currency. In July 1955, President Dwight Eisenhower signed a law passed by Congress that required the words In God we trust to appear on every dollar. Two years later, it was adopted as the national motto, replacing E Pluribus unum, Latin for out of many 1. On October 1, 1957, the first bills bearing the inscription of God were circulated among the public. The presidential embrace of religion was a direct response to the growing Cold War. Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev had recently launched a brutal crackdown on Christians and jews across the U.S.S.R. said Eisenhower after signing the legislation, quote, in this way, we are reaffirming the transcendence of religious faith in America's heritage and future. In this way, we shall constantly strengthen those spiritual weapons and which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war, unquote. Well, not all Americans agree. The New York Times criticized the action as a violation of the U.S. constitution. While many religious leaders praised the motto, others claimed Jesus would not want the word God to appear on money. And here's something else you might not know. Other countries have their own national creed on the currency. Afghanistan, there is no God but Allah. Belgium, unity makes strength. China Long live the People's Republic. South Africa, unity through diversity. Back in a moment.
