Bill O'Reilly here. You are listening to the O'Reilly update. Coming up next, the news with Mike Slater.

Thank you, Bill. It is Thursday, October 2, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America.

The Schumer shutdown. Supreme Court helps cook gang raid in Chicago and the Memphis surge begins. It's all coming up. Then Bill's

going to be here with your message of the day. First, Senate Democrats had a chance yesterday

to stop the Schumer shutdown, but no Democrat broke the ranks other than the three who did

the last vote. This is a very easy story. The Democrats can't get a foothold on any issue.

They thought that if they shut the government down, they could get attention to health care. And Trump said, you guys want health care free legal aliens. And they said, no, we don't. And now one day later, Congressman Roe Kana out of San Francisco said health care of illegal aliens is only a very small percentage of government health care.

This would be step two in the four-step process.

Step one is it's not really happening. Step two, yeah, it's happening, but it's not a big deal. Step three, it's a good thing, actually. And step four, the people freaking out about it are the real problem. We're at step two right now. Okay, fine, it's happening, but it's not a big deal.

ruled in favor of Lisa Cook, member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. Every member of the

board of governors has a 14-year term unless they can be removed for cause,

but the law doesn't specify what for cause means. A district court said that allegations of

mortgage fraud did not qualify as enough cause. The Supreme Court yesterday declined to

immediately remove her from her position, leaving her in place until at least the justices hear the full argument

in January. A massive illegal immigration raid in Chicago targeting members of the Trenda

Aragua Venezuelan gang resulted in over two dozen arrests. The raid involved several different

agencies and 300 federal officers. This took place in Chicago's South Shore

neighborhood. A Border Patrol official said they were specifically targeting six particular

Trenda-Iragua gang members. There are videos of dozens of federal officials as well as a helicopter

over an area. It's been described as an unprecedented show of federal force.
