“No Spin News” host Bill O’Reilly on Wednesday warned Republicans about the upcoming midterm elections, citing numerous new polls confirming growing dissatisfaction among Americans over the cost of food, health care and related insurance.

His segment, titled “Bill O’Reilly’s Warning to Republicans,” began with a Marist University poll that showed that 57% of 1,443 American adults surveyed between Nov. 10 and Nov. 13 believe lowering prices should be the top priority of President Donald Trump’s administration.

“So there’s no question about it,” O’Reilly said Wednesday of the poll. “And President Trump and his administration, if they want to hold the House and Senate next November, they have to lower the prices of insurance, health care, cars, houses and food.”

He continued: “Not far off when it comes to food. The opposition, of course, is hysterical.”

O’Reilly was right to point out that Democrats are concerned about the cost of food for struggling Americans, though Republicans currently appear to be more exhausted, as even News host Laura Ingraham warned Tuesday that “the midterm elections right now look ugly.”

The “No Spin News” segment also referenced a recent West Health-Gallup poll that showed that 90% of the more than 50,000 American adults surveyed said they are paying “too much” for health care, prompting O’Reilly to exclaim, “boy, oh boy.”

Then he warned: “Republicans have to get to work.”

Trump has repeatedly dismissed affordability as an irrelevant issue supposedly supported by Democrats, claiming earlier this month that “the biggest problem” is that “Republicans don’t talk about” his supposed cost-cutting victories and that “Democrats lie about it.”

O’Reilly cited several other factors in the West Health-Gallup poll, including that more than a third of people are worried they will not be able to pay for needed prescription medications in the next year and that 52% experience some or a lot of stress as a result of concerns about health care.

“Health insurance premiums, Medicaid and Medicare spending need to be reined in, and that includes Obamacare,” O’Reilly said, urging Republican leaders like House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-La.) to act.

“I’m going to be relentless in how I cover the next 12 months because the Republicans now have the power, but I don’t see a health care proposal on the table, do you?” said. “So Johnson and Thune, the big two in Congress, better do something.”
