dumb women Chinese exercises subway surfing and Russian fines that's all coming up and Bill's going to be here with your message of the day but first in the final days

of the campaign here Mark Cuban a surrogate for Kamala's campaign said on the view Donald Trump you never see him around strong intelligent women ever

it's just that simple they're intimidating to him he doesn't like to be challenged by them yikes Trump wrote on Twitter Mark Cuban a really dumb guy guy who thinks he's hot stuff, but he's absolutely nothing, is now out there saying that I don't

surround myself with strong women. Actually, he is very wrong. I surround myself with the strongest of women, with the understanding that all women are great. Also, he's got no clubhead speed. It's my favorite insult that Trump ever used it. I may in fact be surrounded by the strongest women in the world, including heads of countries who make Mark look like a baby. So far, 62 million people have mailed in their ballots or voted in person early. 41% of those Democrats, 40% Republican and 19% independence. Two, People's Liberation Army Navy aircraft carriers exercised together for the first time in the South China Sea.

Two aircraft carriers with 12 J-15 fighters flying overhead and 11 surface ships. North Korea also fired an intercontinental ballistic missile that flew for its longest ever recorded flight with a range capable of striking the U.S. mainland. 86 minutes. Its previous record was 13 minutes. This is South Korea sent 10,000 soldiers to train in eastern Russia for a potential deployment into Ukraine. Remember, we are electing first and foremost a commander-in-chief.

They call it subway surfing, where people run on top of subway trains in New York City. Six people have died so far this year doing it. The average age, 14, as young as nine years old. The MTA actually keeps stats on how many people are running on top of trains. In 2019, it was 490. So far this year, it's been over 2,500, about 9 a day. Russia has fined Google, some money. The fine is because Google, which owns YouTube, has blocked 17 Russian TV channels

from YouTube. This is in response to Putin invading Ukraine. The fine is two undecillion rubles. That's a two followed by 36 zeros. The GDP of the world is 110 trillion. That's 12 zeros. Russia's finding Google 36 zeros. With commonplace inflation, we might be there one day soon.

Jackson was a populist who lost an election to a well-entrenched politician, John Quincy Adams. Four years later, the general roared back, using a bombastic style to portray Adams as an effete snob or something. Old Hickory also took insults personally as Trump does. In fact, Jackson was a duelist, actually shooting people who insulted him or his wife, Rachel. In addition, he used profanity all the time. While being eulogized, Jackson's favorite parrot, Paul, had to be removed from the funeral service when the bird started loudly cursing. We're a very funny chronicling of this. Please check out my book Confronting the Presidents.

We don't know who Kamala Harris' favorite president is, but I'm betting he was raised in a middle-class family. I've researched the vice president's statements on American history, and all I can find is, quote, I'm not Joe Biden. One of the few things Kamala has in common with Donald Trump. Political people should understand U.S. history, so achievements as well as mistakes can be part of a vision to help the country. We know Trump admired the strong-minded and sometimes brutal Jackson. But we have no clue who Kamala Harris respects. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

No matter who wins, half the country will be unhappy. That's true. Hopefully it does not result in a civil war. I pray for restraining against violence and hatred. Good prayer. I don't believe it will. I don't believe it will. And I'm saying prayers along the same line, William. James Milner, Keswick, Virginia. I heard Kamala say that Trump is going to impose a 20% national sales tax costing families

$4,000 a year. Is that true? Now, there is a school of economic thought that if Trump levies a lot of tariffs, that prices will go up. But it's all speculative at this point. Donna Flynn-Hadges, Binghamton, New York. If Trump gets in again as president, can he change the voting rule to have every state demand voter ID? Or does it have to go through Congress? Trump can't do it. Congress can't do it.

Constitution says the states regulate, can't do it. So, unless Congress passes a new law, then it might get a little dicey. But right now, states have the authority. But Stap and Port, Fort Walden Beach, Florida, I see gas prices are going down. Is the Biden administration using the National Oil Reserve? No. It stopped some of the regulations that were backing up the ports of entry, of entry and causing the drilling companies a lot more expense, and it stopped it. About nine

months ago, because it knew it was going to be involved with this. Those regulations of slap come right back on if Harris is elected because that's the Green New Deal. No fossil fuels.

You don't want to miss an episode. Now the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might, not know. Polls show most Americans rank Halloween as their second favorite holiday right behind Christmas, but above Thanksgiving. The spooky tradition was not always the family-friendly event it is today. The origins of Halloween go back more than two, thousand years. Here is the story. It all began in Ireland, the Celtic tradition of sowing or summer's end, close the harvest season. The festival is also associated with death.

Communities built bonfires to ward off evil spirits. They sacrificed animals and wore costumes. During the 8th century, Pope Gregory III designated November 1st, as a day to honor Catholic saints, All Saints Day. The night before, All Hallows Eve. In the 1400s, the English and Irish wore costumes going door to door to collect spice-filled soul cakes on behalf of the dead. By the 18th century, All Hallows Eve had morphed into Halloween. The holiday made landfall in North America with an influx of Irish immigrants in the mid-19th century. Today, Halloween is the most commercially profitable holiday after Christmas, generating $15 billion in sales every year. Most of that spent on candy, costumes, and decorations.

And here's something else you might not know. The Irish immigrants also brought a few folk tales, including one about a farmer named Jack. Cursed by the devil, Jack was condemned to purgatory with only a lump of burning coal. The tale goes on to say that Jack put that coal in a lantern made from a turnip. Well, turnips back then were hard to find in America, but pumpkins were in abundance,

especially in New England. To this day, we carve those pumpkins up, put a candle inside. Some say it keeps Jack O'Lantern away. Back after this.
