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 Tuesday, September 30th, 2025. Here's what's happening today in America.

Tonight at midnight. Bebe at the White House. American release from Afghanistan and the final tech settlement. It's all coming up.

Then Bill is going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the Democratic Party has

decided to shut down the government. On the table, the Republicans have put a continuing

resolution of current government spending until Thanksgiving. Well, Republicans need

seven Democrat votes in order to pass this

continuing resolution. I've been assured by Republican Congressman that there's nothing in this

continuing resolution. It's totally clean in every way, just a continuation of current spending

until Thanksgiving. But the Democrats refuse to vote for it. They're asking to extend Obamacare subsidies that otherwise are going to expire at the end

of the year.

Now, in response to a possible shutdown, the Office of Management and Budget Director Russ

vote issued a memo saying that departments should consider a reduction in force if the

government closes, meaning

thousands of federal workers could be permanently laid off if the government shutdown happens.

The president met with the Prime Minister of Israel yesterday in the White House.

President Trump said Israel would have my full backing to finish the job of destroying the threat

of Hamas.

But I hope that we're going to have a deal for peace.

Netanyahu said, if Hamas rejects your plan, Mr. President, or if they supposedly

accepted and then basically do everything to counter it, then Israel will finish the job

by itself.
