Thank you, Bill. It is Friday, October 31, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America. Illegal kills Republican teacher sues for a lot of money. Danger to Trump officials and Glamour magazines, Women of the year. It's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, an illegal alien in Illinois, of course, this is where Governor Pritzker has defied federal enforcement. An illegal alien is accused of killing a Republican elected official and his wife. This is in Coles county, east of Springfield in the middle of the state. Police say 34 year old illegal alien Edwin Pacheco Mesa of Honduras was driving a van when he crossed the center lane and struck the 71 year old Michael Clayton and his wife, 66 year old Gail Clayton, killing them instantly. Michael Clayton served on the Coles County Board. The illegal alien crossed the border as an unknown gotaway. Also in the vehicle was an 18 year old illegal alien, Juan Morales Martinez of Guatemala, who crossed the border in December of 2023 and was released into the United States by the Biden administration. The illegal aliens were found with an extended magazine, firearm ammunition, drugs and an open container of alcohol in their vehicle. In 2023, a teacher was shot by her six year old student. She's suing for $40 million. She claims the school's assistant principal, Ebony Parker, was informed multiple times that the student had a gun and did not let anyone search him prior to the shooting. Even after multiple requests, the teacher was told by the reading specialist he had a gun. The reading specialist said two students told her that he had a gun in his backpack. In fact, he did. The teacher was shot in the hand and the chest. The 2 year old's mom was sentenced to 2 years in prison for child neglect. You may have heard that top Trump officials have moved to military bases. The insinuation here is that from the left is that there's some nefarious plot to control the military or something. No, it's because there's such a great threat to their lives that the only level of security that can keep them safe is to live on a military base. Pete Hegseth, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, among others. There's no precedent of having political appointees living in military installations or needing to live in military installations because of the threats on their lives. The women's magazine Glamour in England chose their Women of the Year and it was eight men their woman of the year, the dolls, which is what men pretending to be women call themselves. I guess the men dressed as women or wearing shirts that said protect the dolls. J.K. rowling said, I grew up in an era when mainstream women's magazines told girls they needed to be thinner and prettier. Now mainstream women's magazines tell girls that men are better women than they are. I'm Mike Slater. I have a podcast called Politics by Faith. The great pill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Message of the day on this Friday. Although President Trump is racking up a number of good trade deals in Asia, his detractors remain crazed about the under construction White House ballroom. They don't like it even though corporate money is paying the freight. Now, I'm agnostic on that project. It's free. So if the White House benefits from an opulent space, fine. I understand President Trump admires the grandiose. The issue is really small ball. Just another reason a pound Trump writing in the Washington Post, anti Trump guy George Will says, quote, Donald Trump, who often makes even defensible actions grating, acted on the White House with unapologetic unilateralism. Wow, George. Well, I don't want to annoy him, but all presidents do that. Harry Truman, for example, upgraded constantly as he described in 1950, quote, I found four chairs that Lincoln had used in his attic. I had them restored, put them in the Lincoln Room and we'll put them back when the House is restored. Truman changed a lot of things in the White House on public money. Presidents have the power to do that. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it you can reach me, bill@billoriley.com Billo Reilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the mail. Richard says you keep talking about the mainstream media going down for a variety of reasons. From my vantage point, they're continuing to broadcast. Plenty of advertisers trimming their staffs, as many companies do. But they'll be around for the foreseeable future. Sure. Inside Edition still around. Okay. When I started that program, it was a monster, huge revenue generator. Everybody talked about it. I was there six years that I went to Harvard. Now it's on the air. Never hear anybody talk about Inside Edition ever. No. That's what's going to happen. They'll be there. Everyone will ignore them. Arthur Bill, it's clear every day that President Trump has caused the demise of Lifford propaganda media. Absolutely right. They hated him so much. The corporate media hates him so much that they lie and they're deceitful and they're nasty and people noticed. Even people don't support President Trump. It's propaganda. Joe Concierge member Joe gets a direct line to me and we are on Joe's side. Here's my question. Why does there even need to be a CBS Evening News? The ratings are terrible. They're probably losing money. Brand is badly damaged. All the networks have access to powerful people in White House and in Congress because of their news divisions. They badly need the news divisions to continue that access. Robert Bill, you keep saying there's climate change. If liberals use the term, it's just another way to grab millions for their pockets. No amount of money will deter what major mother nature does. Not quite, Robert, you're oversimplifying that cleaner planet is absolutely mandatory, particularly in the oceans, so we can use some of that global warming money to clean up the pollution. The world is much, much better. But this windmill stuff and all that crazy, let's wreck the economy and do all this stuff that doesn't work. That's where the problem comes in. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. It is officially Halloween. This evening, millions of Americans will celebrate with candy, costumes and scary movies. If you are looking for a few frights on Friday night, here are the best flicks to watch this Halloween. According to the American Film Institute, the top 10 begins with the classics. Dracula, Frankenstein, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and the creature from the Black Lagoon. Boy, was he misunderstood. Then we get into modern times. Number five, Alien, the 1979 movie from Ridley Scott. Often described as a, quote, haunted house in space. It is a scary flick for Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. The movie was edited dozens of times before censors would approve the product. Many critics believe the final cut was too terrifying for the public. Top three stars with Stanley Kubrick's the Shining, starring Jack Nicholson. A grueling schedule, sub zero temperatures and reports of ghosts on the set made the production a nightmare. Actress Shelley Duval nearly had a nervous breakdown during the shoot. The second spot goes to the Exorcist. The film caused widespread protests from religious organizations. The controversy prompted hundreds of death threats against people in the cast. People claimed they were glorifying Satan, which was, of course, not true. The Exorcist is so extreme it was banned in Ireland until 1998, 25 years after its original release. The top Halloween movie goes to Halloween. John Carpenter's 1978 slasher flick tells the story of Michael Myers, an escaped mental patient who stalks babysitters with a butcher's knife. Not nice. And here's something else you might not know. The white mask worn by the killer in Halloween is actually connected to Star Trek. That was a costume that the producers of Halloween changed because they didn't have any money to buy real costumes. Happy Halloween. 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.
Podcast: Bill O’Reilly’s No Spin News and Analysis
Episode: The O'Reilly Update, October 31, 2025
Theme: A news roundup on crime, politics, media culture, and a Halloween-themed film countdown, addressed in O’Reilly’s traditional direct and critical tone, focusing on what he sees as key threats and absurdities in contemporary America.
Illegal Immigration and Crime:
Teacher Suing After School Shooting:
Threats Against Trump Officials:
Glamour Magazine’s “Women of the Year” Selection:
White House Ballroom Controversy:
State of Mainstream Media (Mailbag Segment):
Media Access and Ratings:
Climate Change as a Political Lever:
The episode is delivered in Bill O'Reilly’s characteristic no-nonsense, skeptical, and occasionally sardonic style. He highlights stories that reinforce his themes: failures in policy (notably on immigration), the perceived decline and bias of traditional media, and cultural shifts that he finds dubious or comical (e.g., the Glamour awards controversy). The mailbag offers O’Reilly a chance to restate his skepticism of the mainstream and to highlight audience agreement. The Halloween segment provides a lighter, informative break before the sign-off.
