Thank you, Bill. It is Wednesday, Oct. 29, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Ice changes more boats hit Mamdani shocked and Melissa hits Jamaica. It's all coming up. Then. Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, reports are that there is a mass removal effort of ICE leadership across the country with up to 12 ICE field office chiefs being removed and reassigned. The goal here is to increase deportation numbers. This reportedly includes the field office directors of la, Philadelphia, Phoenix, Denver, El Paso, San Diego, Seattle, Portland and New Orleans. Reports are that the ICE chiefs will be replaced by Border Patrol leaders. Now Bill Malugian has made the point that ICE and Border Patrol operations are often different. ICE being more targeted and going after criminal illegal aliens and people with specific deportation orders. Border patrol under Trump 2.0 has been more aggressive in carrying out operations at like Home Depots and flea markets. Now, Homeland Security said this is one team, one fight. President Trump has a brilliant, tenacious team led by Secretary Noem to deliver on the American people's mandate to remove criminal illegal aliens from this country. In other news, ICE arrested a three time deported illegal alien from El Salvador. He was in Virginia. He's been accused of violently assaulting a police officer, among other violent crimes over a 21 year criminal record. In America, our military has carried out strikes against four more drug vessels in the Eastern Pacific, killing 14 people. Our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth said yesterday the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations trafficking narcotics in the eastern Pacific. So far, we know of 57 people who have been killed in strikes like this, according to Hegseth. There was one survivor. Zoran Mamdani said he is shocked by remarks that Vice President J.D. vance made after the mayoral candidate in New York City said his aunt felt uncomfortable riding the subway wearing her hijab after 9 11. JD Vance wrote on social media. According to Zoran, the real victim of 911 was his auntie who got some allegedly bad looks. Turns out the vice president's skepticism was right. Zoran's aunt doesn't wear a hijab and she wasn't even in America during 9 11. Turns out it wasn't an aunt he was talking about. He really meant some distant cousin. And that cousin happens to be not alive anymore. Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica as a Category five. It was then downgraded to a powerful three as it headed towards Cuba, the Jamaican prime minister called his island a disaster area. Half a million without power, 25,000 tourists stuck, seven dead so far. This hurricane even bigger than Katrina. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Guy's gone and nobody's looking for him. But I can't stop with the former president. It's a compulsive disorder or something. Now, last Sunday, Mr. Biden received a lifetime achievement award from the Edward M. Kennedy Institute in Boston. Okay, fine. The liberals love Joe. Why? I'm not sure. As a senator, Biden was a tough guy on crime and opposed busing as a tool for student integration. Kamala Harris took great exception to that, as you may remember. But now Joe Biden is a liberal icon. Accepting the award, Mr. Biden said this quote, I know the idea of America depends on our respect for the institutions that govern and guarantee a free society. It depends on a presidency with limited powers. No, Joe, that's incorrect. The founders wanted strong, assertive presidents, limited powers. Washington, Lincoln, Jackson, the Roosevelts, all wielded enormous power. Even James K. Polk used his authority to expand the nation from coast to coast. Polk did that by issuing orders. Congress stood by and watched. So as I suspected, President Biden has no idea what the executive branch is empowered to do. The president is supposed to be a strong leader. As I wrote in Confronting the Presidents, joe Biden was the second worst chief executive in American history. This kind of proves 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. Now let's go to the mail. Davit is on our message board. If you're a billorilly.com concierge or premium member, you get to go on a message board, make a lot of friends and express yourself. Here's what the wit says. Honestly, people I know who talk about the ballroom at the White House have no idea what's going on. Trump's trip to China is the most consequential event the last 10 years. If he could pull up a deal that would make the world much safer. Absolutely right, Sharon. Concierge member. And if you do want to check out concierge membership or premium membership, go to billorilly.com and if you want to give a great gift, concierge membership is an excellent gift to give somebody. Sharon says, I believe China will always align with Russia, North Korea as they think alike. The triangle is written in stone. China's going to do what benefits it economically. That communist cabal. It's gone. Don. Like you say, Bill, I like most of what you say, Bill. But rather than see China as an annoyance, I see them as an actual thing threat. Much of what they do is centered against America. True, but you have to deal with them unless it gets out of control. Josh Sorensen, Bakersfield, California Longtime listener and viewer I really appreciate your common sense approach to the world. You said in your column today that China cultivates controversy, much like Donald Trump will give some specific examples of that. I mean, there's a million of them. But how about the balloons floating all over the United States? That was totally unnecessary. Why you do that, Ralph? Everyone says we need a new immigration law. What's missing from the current law? How about adjudicating 20 million undocumented migrants because of the Joe Biden administration? How about that? That's a new circumstance. In a moment, something you might not know. Lets face it, the US Economy is under stress, national debt rising, trade war shaking the markets. And meanwhile China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. Eight years ago today, the biggest controversy in the history of the National Football League swept the usa. The explosive saga involved every team and even the president of the United States. Here is the story behind Colin Kaepernick and kneeling during the national anthem. Born 1987 to a white mother and black father, Kaepernick was adopted by a Caucasian couple in rural Wisconsin. The family soon moved to Central California after playing football at the University of Nevada. The quarterback was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers. In 2016, Kaepernick began kneeling during the performance of the Star Spangled Banner before games. According to the athlete, he was taking a knee to protest racism in America. Other players soon followed. The protests drew national attention. While some defended Kaepernick's constitutional right, others, including major politicians, criticized him for being unpatriotic. A few months after the kneeling began, President Trump issued the following I think what Kaepernick's doing is a terrible thing, a sad thing. He should find a country that works better for him. Let him try. It won't happen, unquote. The controversy split the league. Some coaches encouraged the athletes to express themselves. Others asked players to remain inside the locker rooms during the national anthem to appease angry fans. TV networks began their broadcasts and after the anthem was performed, Kaepernick was eventually Blackballed by the NFL. He has not played football since 2017. Eight years. Kneeling during the anthem was prohibited by football commissioner Roger Goodell. One year later today, the controversy has faded. Despite that, Colin Kaepernick paid a steep price. He was scorned, publicly lost his career. The message dissent can be very problematic. Back after this.
