Hurricane Milton. Terror plot foiled. More second gentleman accusations and French fry sales are down. That's all coming up. Then Bill's going to be here with your message today, but first Hurricane Milton could be one of the most destructive storms on record. It hit category five status, and while it could weaken, it could also double in size. Tropical storm force winds could expand 230 miles out from its center in every direction. The Air Force base in Tampa has been evacuated, so have 4,600 prisoners. in the Tampa area. Disney and all theme parks are closing in Orlando. American and United Airlines have capped airfare and added additional flights out of Florida to help people evacuate.

One in six gas stations as of last night have run out of fuel. The Justice Department has announced that they have arrested an Afghan national living in Oklahoma, accusing him of plotting to kill Americans on Election Day on behalf of ISIS. Nasir Tahiti, 27 years old, is alleged to have tried to purchase semi-automatic firearms and ammunition. He even went so far as to liquidate his family's assets and resettle family members overseas in preparation. He's been in the United States since 2021 on a special immigrant visa. There's at least one other co-conspirator who's also a citizen of Afghanistan with legal permanent resident status. He lives in Oklahoma, too, but is a juvenile. The Daily Mail, which first reported that Doug Emhoff, Kamala's husband,

cheated on his first wife and impregnated their children's nanny. He admitted to that, that that was true. The Daily Mail also reported he slapped his old girlfriend for flirting with a parking attendant. He denied that. But now, the Daily Mail reporting that former colleagues at his old law firm say he was an inappropriate misogynist. A staffer said that if you did not flirt back with him, then you would not get the cases you wanted to work on. Keep in mind, MSNBC recently told him, You're such a hero.

You have redefined masculinity. Do we still believe all women? Lamb Weston, they're the largest producer of French fries in North America. While they're closing a production plan in Washington State laying off 400 people, 4% of its workforce, they're claiming this is due to lower consumer demand for eating out at restaurants. 80% of French fries are eaten outside of the home. McDonald's is 13% of Lamb Weston's sales. And sales at U.S. McDonald's fell 0.7%.

On this Wednesday, finally, a TV reporter asked pertinent questions of Vice President.

and Harris. Bill Whitaker of 60 Minutes asked her about runaway inflation, her flips, and the open border. Unfortunately, Ms. Harris had little to offer. At one point, Kamala actually said the Biden administration promoted solutions to the border from the beginning of their term. That's obviously not even close to being true, but Whitaker did not power. But Whitaker did not pounce he should have. Kamala blamed the chaos on Congress and Trump, dodges she always uses. In fact, I did not hear one solution to any problem from Kamala Harris. It's not Whitaker's job to provide solutions, but he might have asked her for more specificity other than the rich have to pay their fair share. So tired.

Kamala Harris did not hurt herself in the interview, but didn't help. She certainly isn't someone with vision other than we're going to spend trillions on entitlements and you might get some. Another day, another generalization from Kamala. She is obviously not interested in explaining her philosophy or demonstrating a grasp of political realities. Now, the only declarative sentence she laid down was, I am a capital. list. Well, I don't believe her. Opportunist is more like it. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it.

Mr. Roe, you state. that Harris uses telepromp because she doesn't know, I agree. But more important is that she doesn't know she doesn't know. I think she knows she doesn't know. She looks very insecure out there to me. Could be wrong. Lewis Brack at San Diego, FEMA is blocking aid to red voters in swing

One of the biggest box office bombs of all times hit the theaters in America last week. Though the movie was directed by legendary filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, it is now being mocked as one of the most confusing motion pictures in history. Here is the story of Megalopolis, or what many critics are now calling Megaflopoulos. Francis Ford Coppola studied drama at Hofstra University on Long Island, then attended the University of California. He began making movies alongside his classmates, Stephen Spielberg, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese.

After a few small projects, Coppola's career exploded when the Godfather, a movie he directed in 1972, was released. Francis then went on to make some of the most successful Hollywood films of all time, including The Godfather 2, Apocalypse Now, The Outsiders. The director first conceived Megalopolis 40 years ago. The story takes place in an alternate universe inside a city called New Rome, a genius architect named Caesar, there you go, invents a new construction material and vows to build a futuristic city. Every studio in Hollywood turned the project down. So the 85-year-old director financed the film himself,

even sold a large stake in his family's wine business to fund the movie. In total, Coppola spent $140 million. to make megalopolis. Now, two weeks after the opening, the film has grossed seven million worldwide. That is not good. When asked a comment on the situation, Coppola attacked the media saying, quote, in this era of journalism, they're starting to make stories that are clickbait. Journalism will be reborn when the ones we have now are gone. And here's something else you might not know. Despite taking huge losses with Megalopoulos, Francis Ford Coppola remains one of the wealthiest filmmakers in the world. Despite the self-financed disaster, Coppola's

net worth remains at 500 million bucks. Back after this. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines.
