Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, October 10, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Peace deal moving forward, the Nobel snub, Leticia indicted and a counter super bowl halftime show. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, Israel has agreed to phase one of Trump's peace plan. The IDF has finished their 24 hours to pull back to the agreed line inside Gaza, retaining control of about 53% of the territory until phase two begins. After the 24 hour period, Hamas will have 72 hours to release all remaining hostages, 20 alive and 28 deceased, meaning that all are expected to be freed by Tuesday. Trump envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with Netanyahu yesterday. The United States plans to have 200 troops already in the Middle east to help support and monitor the ceasefire deal. They will not be in Gaza. They'll be in Israel. The prime minister of Israel wrote on Twitter. President Trump, no gold medal, lucrative prize or prestigious recognition will ever truly do justice or reward you adequately for the lives you have saved. In Judaism, the proverb goes, he who saved a single soul, it is as if he saved an entire world. You, Mr. President, have saved scores of worlds. Today, the whole nation of Israel says thank you. That being said, Trump did not win the Nobel Peace Prize, snubbed by this committee in Norway made up of five members appointed by the Norwegian Parliament. They gave it instead to the Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, quote, for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela. She's been in hiding since August of last year for fear of arrest from the Maduro regime. I so would have loved to be in that committee room listening to these progressives talk about how we can't possibly give the Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump. A grand jury indicted New York Attorney General Leticia James on charges of fraud. This is after a mortgage fraud investigation. She says that an error was made when filling out a form related to a home purchase story is she lied about another home being her primary residence in order to get a better bank loan. And of course, it was this attorney general of New York who got Trump on felony charges for inflating the value of his assets to get a better bank loan. She ran for office on the slogan I will get Trump. And when she won on election night, she said, we here in New York, and I in particular, we're not scared of you and promised to shine a bright light into every corner of his real estate dealings and every dealing, demanding truthfulness at every turn. Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA has announced an alternate halftime show for the upcoming Super Bowl. Bad Bunny is the official performer of the Super Bowl. His songs are disgusting. Turning Point said the event will celebrate faith, family and freedom. It'll be on February 8th. Event details and performers ST still to be announced. I'm Mike Slater from Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. On this Friday, J.B. pritzker. I think he's the worst governor in the country. Makes Gavin Newsom look like John Hancock. The guy is awful. For six and a half years, he sat in Springfield, Illinois, and done absolutely Nothing. As about 4,000 Chicagoans have been murdered in the streets. Pritzker could have called in the Illinois National Guard to assist the Chicago PD in dismantling the drug gangs that commit most of the homicides. Did you know that 80% of the murder victims in Chicago are African Americans? But no, old JB Was otherwise occupied raising taxes, spending money on windmills. What a guy. Now President Trump has embarrassed Pritzker by sending federal authorities to Chicago in order to impose order and protect federal immigration agents. Pritzker's incoherent response is to say Trump wants to rig the election in 2026. Yes, Chicago is familiar with rigged votes, but JB is living in the twilight zone. He is traveling in another dimension. You didn't do your job, Governor. Simple as that. Too many coffins. And that's the Truth. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me, bill@billorilly.com Billoe reilly.com Name in town if you wish to opine, let's go to the mail. We got Alan on the message board if you are a premium member. On billorilly.com we have a message board and you can debate me and messages and columns and have a lot of fun, make some friends, whatever. So Alan says there's no problem with the immigration law just because from 1952 constitution is far older than that. The issue is that Democrats will not comply with it. No, it's a whole different scenario now. Al Biden did it. You can't allow 15 million people in this country in four years and have the same immigration law. You got to tighten it up. You got to have rules and regulations that didn't exist. You have to because it's chaotic now. And here's how chaotic it is. ICE doesn't delineate anymore between criminals that they pick up and people with no criminal histories. They have to do that if they want Americans to get on board. That's one thing that should be in a new law. Maureen, you say President Trump cannot control food prices, but yet you say if food prices don't come down, Republicans could have trouble in the midterms. I don't understand this. Because you don't want to understand it, Maureen. You understand it. People vote their wallets. Not everybody is fair or smart. But if people are going to the grocery stores this time next year and food prices have not come down a bit, they're not going to be happy. Republicans will lose votes in a moment. Something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 52 years ago today, the vice President of the United States resigned in disgrace. His departure caused a constitutional emergency that eventually allowed Congress to allow the new president. Here is the story of Spiro Agnew. The Republican from Baltimore became governor of Maryland in 1967. He was soon selected by Richard Nixon to be his running mate. The two were elected in 68, re elected in 72. By the following spring the entire administration was embroiled in the Watergate scandal. While investigating Nixon, the Justice Department discovered Agnew took bribes during his tenure as governor. He continued to receive illegal payments while serving as vice president. After months of proclaiming his innocence, Spiro Agnew resigned from office on October 10, 1973. None of his crimes were related to Watergate. He eventually pleaded no contest to federal income tax evasion under the process outlined by the 25th Amendment. President Nixon was then ordered to fill the vacant office of vice president. That candidate would then have to be approved by both houses of Congress. Nixon selected House Minority Leader Gerald for popular among his colleagues. The Senate voted to confirm Ford by 92 to 3, the house 387 to 35. When Richard Nixon resigned a few months later, Gerald Ford assumed the presidency, making him the only person to become chief executive without being elected president or vice president. Spiro Agnew kept a low profile for the rest of his life. He died in 1996 at the age of 77. And here's something else you might not know. After Agnew's resignation, the former vice president was ordered to pay back taxes and legal fees. To help cover expenses, he took a $200,000 loan from his longtime friend, Frank Sinatra. Back in a moment.

Notable Quotes:
“The guy is awful. For six and a half years, he sat in Springfield, Illinois, and done absolutely nothing. As about 4,000 Chicagoans have been murdered in the streets.” [03:47]
“Pritzker's incoherent response is to say Trump wants to rig the election in 2026. ... JB is living in the twilight zone. He is traveling in another dimension. You didn't do your job, Governor. Simple as that. Too many coffins. And that's the truth.” [04:55]
Federal Action and Election Politics
(06:10 – 07:30)
On Immigration Law
On Food Prices and Elections
(08:16 – 10:54)
The language throughout is direct, acerbic, and distinctly partisan, especially in O’Reilly’s editorial sections. The news delivery is brisk and fact-focused, with pointed commentary and little tolerance for “spin,” consistent with the show’s branding.
This episode is packed with breaking international news, sharp domestic political analysis, and unmistakable opinion. O’Reilly doesn’t mince words about what he sees as political hypocrisy and leadership failure—particularly in Illinois. If you want a rapid-fire, unapologetically conservative take on the week’s headlines, this installment delivers.
