Thanks, Bill. Here's what's happening this week in America. No end in sight. Armed conflict with cartels, Yom Kippur attack and the Nobel Peace Prize will soon be announced. That's all coming up. Then Bill's gonna be here with your message of the day. But first, no end in sight to the shutdown. Senator Thune said, I realized that my Democrat colleagues are facing pressure from members of their far left base, but they are playing a losing game here. Seems like the longer this goes on, the more people are aware that a lot of their money is going to illegal aliens for healthcare. But the Democrats seem to think they're winning this PR battle. Meanwhile, I talked to Doug Burgum, the interior secretary yesterday. He made the point that when Barack Obama was president during a shutdown in 2013, he erected a fence around the World War II memorial. There's no fence there. It's an open air memorial. But Obama, to hurt people, put a fence around the memorial to keep them out. Doug Burgum said they're doing the opposite. They're doing everything they can to keep as much open as possible for as long as they can, moving money around so as to not hurt the American people. The president issued a memo that the US Is now engaged in a formal armed conflict with drug cartels. This notice was sent to several congressional committees. Last month, the US Military carried out three strikes against drug smuggling boats in the Caribbean. Many congressmen have been worried about the due process protections of these people. But the memo says based upon the cumulative effects of these hostile acts against the citizens and interests of the United States, the president determined that the United States is in a non international armed conflict with these designated terrorist organizations. On the first day of Yom Kippur, several people in England were hit by a car and stabbed by a knifeman. The murderer was shot dead at the scene. The police commended the synagogue for locking the building, locking the doors quickly preventing the murderer from getting inside. He was found trying to stab his way through a window when the police arrived. Two people were killed. Three are in serious condition. The murderer is Jihad. That's his real name. Jihad Al Shami, 35 year old Syrian who's now a British citizen. The Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on October 10th in Oslo. Several world leaders have nominated Donald Trump. The leaders of Gabon, Rwanda, Cambodia, Pakistan, Israel, Armenia, Azerbaijan, pretty good list. But one historian who wrote a book on the Nobel Peace Prize said It's completely unthinkable that Trump will win it. He said the Nobel Peace Prize is about defending multilateral cooperation, for example, in the UN And Trump breaks with that principle. He follows his own path unilaterally. So he achieved peace, but just not the right way. I'm Mike Slider from the podcast Politics by faith. Bill O'Reilly has your message of the day next.

Bill O'Reilly
Time now for the O'Reilly update. Message of the day. The Justice Department is looking at 95 year old George Soros for possible criminal activity. The theory is that old George has donated money to radical left groups that have embraced violence. If charged, Soros could potentially face RICO statutes, that he funded criminal enterprises. The Soros lawyers, of course, deny all wrongdoing and this would be a very difficult case to prove. But George has powerful enemies in Washington right now. Born in Hungary, Soros is an American citizen. Estimated wealth stands at about 7.5 billion according to Forbes magazine. Over the years, the financier has given away an estimated 15 billion, mainly to far left groups. He donated $500,000 to help Joe Biden get elected president, the largest amount Biden has ever received. To be fair, the record shows that George Soros has also given substantial money to children's charities. The political Soros money has done substantial damage to America. He's funded radical DAs like Kim Fox in Chicago, Larry Krasner in Philadelphia, George Gaston in Los Angeles. These people have allowed violent crime to surge. I've been reporting on Soros for three decades. Still can't figure out why he wants soft on crime policies as well as anti capitalist politicians. But he does. No question, however, that's not a crime, but a criminal referral will hurt him. Will it happen? Good chance. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorily.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine now, let's go to the Mail Tongue series member John John gets a direct line to me. None of the major networks believe in free speech. The only place right now is News Nation. We can get opposing points of view, but without basic knowledge of the actual truth. You still don't know what's going on. That is the main reason to listen to O'Reilly. Thank you. We give an awful lot of information on the no spin news every single day. Information is power, Perry Abel. What confuses me is that somehow Jimmy Kimmel's punishment originated from the Trump administration. It's another case of, of misinformation, another attempt to paint the Trump administration in a bad light. Viewers started this by calling their local stations and complaining about Kimmel. Absolutely right. That's exactly what happened. Mary Hughes, Munzee, Indiana. Hey, Bill, thanks for being a calm voice in the chaos. You fact checked Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and a lie she told. Why are there no charges against her? Because they weren't told under oath in front of a congressional hearing or to an FBI agent. That's perjury. You can say whatever you want under the First Amendment, Mary. Not gonna get charged. Aaron Lechner, Denver, Colorado. As I was reading through Confronting Evil, I realized what an excellent compendium it is to the no spin news. By delivering a basis of the worst of the worst, I can now better understand and analyze daily information. You provide a much higher level. Thank you. That's one of the reasons that we wrote all of our books. You would assemble information that will help you know what's true and what isn't true in your everyday life. So confronting a colossal success. And we thank you all. In a moment, something you might not know.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 68 years ago, 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 which forever will be our country's most powerful resource in peace and war. Unquote. Well, not all Americans agreed. 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.
