A strike delayed, unlikely helpers back in Butler and DNA test gone wrong. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message of the day. But first, the longshore men have thrown Kamala a bone, paused their strike until January 15th. They're extending their expired contract until that day. A strike, of course, would have hurt our supply chain, been bad for anyone, bad politically for Kamala. A tentative agreement was reached to increase wages by 62% over the next six. six years. So hourly wages will ultimately be $63 an hour. But the union and the employer has yet

to come to terms on automation, which the union doesn't want. Hurricane Haleen death toll now approaching 200. There are still hundreds missing in the remote mountain areas of North Carolina. Regular people volunteering are leading the rescue effort in many of these places. Small regional airports have turned into local donation and delivery zones. A volunteer in these what's called Redneck Marines said because of people's generosity, our community is saving lives. We were able to get supplies to a remote area today for at least 100 people who had no contact with anyone until yesterday. The storm was a week ago. Even on the ground, mules from the mountain mule packer ranch were able to pass through otherwise unpassable roads to deliver medicine and other supplies to people.

Mules! We're using mules. Donald Trump will be hosting a rally this weekend. not a very newsworthy event more 31 days to the election of course they're going to have rallies what's newsworthy about this rally is it is in Butler Pennsylvania the site where back on July 13th

Donald Trump was shot in the head the feds this time have said basically we got it we got it this time we're not going to make the same mistakes a Butler County Commissioner said we have the benefit from learning from the prior event yeah I would say so like how about you put someone on the closest roof to the president that happens to have a direct line of sight

Have we learned that lesson? Trump wrote on Twitter, I'm coming back to Butler with a picture of him raising his fist in the air, yelling fight, fight, fight. And Elon Musk retweeted and said, I will be there to support. A father and daughter in Las Vegas

took an ancestry DNA test just to check their genealogy. Turns out they're not related. The father's now suing the now defunct fertility clinic. Turns out his sperm was not inserted into his wife's egg. I'm Mike Slater from the podcast Politics by Faith.

Time now for the O'Reilly Update, message of the day. On this Friday, here's why special prosecutor Jack Smith's response to the Supreme Court means little. He appears to be trying to get Donald Trump, which I believe he is. In addition, I think most voters have that perception. Mr. Smith's job is a prosecute alleged federal crimes, but his presentation drips of partisan politics. That may be unfair to him, but certainly the environment surrounding Smith is very damp. The Supreme Court obviously does not want a politicized justice department interfering in a presidential election, which is why it kicked back Trump's election. interference case in 2020, those were the allegations, to the lower courts for more definition.

At this point, it's obvious to me that the former president wanted to believe his defeat in 20 was fraudulent. So he believed it. And that's that. Yes, he tried to persuade others to sign on to his opinion, but that's not a crime. I just don't see the felony here. The transition of power occurred and Trump vacated his office. Of course, I could be wrong. Maybe Jack Smith is some criminal evidence that nobody knows about. I doubt it, but the possibility exists. The election obviously coming up fast. Smith is trying his hardest to influence the vote against Trump. We understand, Jack. We know what you're doing. Come November 5th, you may be very disappointed. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me. Bill at Bill

O'Reilly.com, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com. Name in town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail. We've got Steve Klump, Overland Park, Kansas. Please explain Bill how the election is so close when Trump has increased support of minority voters. How can I do that? So we are depending on polls, many of which are not honest, which is why I had the Brazilian guy on earlier this week, the Atlas poll, which looks to me to be honest. I can't exactly. blame any of that. I mean, all we can do is report what these poll people say. Ernie Pinder, Fullerton, California, J.D. Vance blames Kamala Harris for the mess. You blame Biden, O'Reilly, when the real culprit is someone pulling the strings like George Soros. Now,

no, Soros funds all the horror. There's no doubt about it. But Biden made the decision. And Kamala said, yay, advanced tying Kamala, in is absolutely true and legitimate, saying that Kamala made policy on the border and economically is not. She did. She just said, oh, I love that. Okay. The truth will set you free. Gillian, concierge, remember I disagree that Kamala was not responsible for the Biden border fiasco. Maybe she didn't implement it, but she supported it. Plus, the problem was exacerbated by her refusal, do anything about it as border czar. Okay, I mean, you can disagree, and we respect that, Jillian, but she has no power.

It was a show appointment. She wasn't the border czar. She was appointed to find the root causes. She's too lazy to do that. She went to Guatemala once, never went to the border, were any meaningful way. And, you know, this is what politics is. But Biden was the architect of that disaster. In a moment, something you might.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might, not know. The vice presidential candidates held their first and only debate Tuesday night. Historically, the name at the bottom of the ticket has had little impact on national elections. However, the United States has had some truly terrible VPs.

Here are some of the worst of all time. Spiro Agnew, Richard Nixon's Veep, resigned. in 1973 after he was caught taking bribes from construction companies while governor of maryland it took a while for the authorities to catch up with agnew but they did and he had a get out he was fined ten thousand dollars by the department of justice placed on probation for three years Aaron Burr, 1804, the nation's third vice president shot and killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel. A few years later, he was charged with treason by Thomas Jefferson, the president, for trying to establish his own country west of the Mississippi. Burr was eventually acquitted, but he did it.

He had to leave the country because he was so reviled. John C. Calhoun, the man from South Carolina served as VP under John Quincy Adams. Though his boss was an abolitionist from Massachusetts, Calhoun was a staunch defender of slavery. He liked it. He was truly a villain, John C. Calhoun. Hannibal Hamlin. Abraham Lincoln needed an East Coast politician to join his 1860 ticket. He chose Hannibal the Horrible, a senator from Maine.

Hamlin spent the entire civil war with his family in New England. He contributed nothing to the union cause. On a lighter note, you'll remember Dan Quayle, VP to George Bush the elder. Quail was publicly ridiculed for numerous gaffes. Months before the 1992 election, Dan hosted a televised spelling bee for sixth graders. A young boy correctly spelled the world potato, but the vice president told him to add an E, which was incorrect.

And here's something else you might not know. The term VEP was coined by Al Barkley, VP to Harry Truman. His young grandson could not say, vice president, said, Berkeley, call me Veep instead. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York
