So the country is still processing the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Media is not covering it honestly, as usual. If there were two attempts on the life of the vice president, there'd be hysteria in this country. Trump would be blamed. There's no question about that. It's not a guess, not speculation. that's what would happen. Everybody knows that.

Now it's kind of okay, we don't like it. I don't think there are many people that want to see Trump dead. There are some, but not many. But, you know, we still hate them. And we still want Kamala to win. So let's move along as the press's attitude. And we're going to get into that a little bit more.

And as far as Donald Trump is concerned himself, that is a subject of this evening's talking points memo. So yesterday, he's in Flint, Michigan, and he says this, go. And I have to say that President Biden called me yesterday. It was very nice, with a very nice conversation. I appreciated that he called about, you know, what happened the other day. And he says, he's committed. He's committed.

No, but, and today, a little while ago, I got a very nice call from Kamala. It was very nice. It was very nice. It was very, very nice. And we appreciate that. So it was good. A little more mellow, you know. Somebody yells out F. Joe Biden.

You would expect that from the MAGA supporters, just as we expect it from the progressive movement. We expect that. I mean, they don't want day time. I mean, it's almost a sport, a hobby, hating the other crime. true. But Trump, see, he, that was good. He brings in a measure of humanity to his presentation. And the more he can do that, the higher odds that he will win. Okay, so fanatical people,

and believe me, they're on both sides, and you know that. I mean, they lose all perspective. I mean, and they get caught up in this, and clarity is not what they have. Hatred always, always. Believe me, I have to fight it all the time, because my emotion is to go after people who try to hurt me and my family. And go after them, hard. But sometimes you've got to step back a little bit, what's best the way to handle it. And again, Trump did a good job yesterday in that. This is a dangerous presidential campaign.

And if you read Confronting the Presidents, only Abraham Lincoln versus George McClellan in 1864 was more dangerous than this, all right, because Civil War was still underway. And it was chaos in a country. And Lincoln obviously wound up dead, but it was hard for him to go anywhere because of the ranked danger. everybody wanted to kill him. Trump now, finally, is getting the Secret Service detail he should have had a long time ago,

and I hope they're pretending Kamala Harris as well at the same level. Biden's not around. I'm not worried about Biden. I think they got him locked down. But every day, we wake up and something new is going to happen. So I was on Hannity Radio today, you know, we were talking about next seven weeks. that I can't predict Friday. I can't predict next week.

Too many things. But I do know that we're living in a very dangerous time, and I mean that literally. So when you are following our news coverage here, we're not going to do any kind of emotional stuff. We're going to just step back and tell you. And I totally had a very interesting thing on the radio today. and I don't know whether he knew it or not.

But the polling now comes in, and everybody's looking at the poll, and Harris is ahead. But I am examining these polls that I'm seeing something doesn't stack up because independence, according to the polls, don't like her at all. I don't know one Republican who's going to vote for her outside of Cheney and her father. it doesn't stack. So I made a few calls. You know what's going on? In the left-leaning polls, which are most of them, they say Republicans, Democrats, and independents.

And I'm taking credit for making them do that. We started last year, and they do it now. But they don't tell you the gender. And everybody knows that more women are supporting Kamala Harris. Everybody knows that. So if you do polling and more women are sampled, you're going to get a higher number for Harris. Do you know that? Fix is in.

Now, I'm not saying that Trump is leading in the polls. Trafalgar has him, and then Rasmussen has him up, but Rasmussen's a pro-Republican poll. But I'm telling you this gender thing, that's, see, see how they do it? And that's a memo. Our schedule is Biden is a reception for Hispanic Heritage Month. That's it. That's all he does. Party on.

Kamala Harris is in D.C. for the Hispanic caucus because the Democrats are running behind, according to polls and a Hispanic vote. And Trump is here on Long Island at the National Coliseum giving a speech this evening. Yesterday, the Vice President went to Philadelphia to talk to the Black Journalists Association. You remember that Trump did that in July, the last end of July, was ambushed. The woman gave a big speech about how he's the worst person ever. But it was a little more gentle with the Vice President. Your opponent and Republicans have at times weaponized you laughing in campaign ads, for example,

Why is joy important to you to insert into this election? And what do you make of of Republicans using that as a way to suggest that you're not a serious candidate? Well, sometimes I think, and I'll say to whoever the young people are who are watching this, there are sometimes when your adversaries will try and turn your strength into a weakness. Don't you let them. Don't you let them? Okay, I won't let them then. I promise, but the question is, who grace, this is unbelievable.

So why is joy important to you? See, all right. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. However, ABC News, which took it right between the eyes for the debate. Now, I guess, given orders for their correspondents, get a little tougher on the vice president. This is Selena Wang covering that Q&A in Philadelphia ago. She was pressed about how her policy towards Israel and Gaza might be different than that of President Biden's, and she did not directly answer the question or offer any policy specifics,

but she repeatedly said that we need to get a deal done. Well, that's Neil, newsbreaking. We need to get a deal done. Of course, she's not going to get into civic. She has no blanket idea what to do. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver, through the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold. And you can do this.

Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast, and I've got exactly what you need to start your weekdays. I'll bring you the stories that matter, plus the news people actually talk about, the juicy details in the worlds of politics, business, pop culture, and everything in between. It's what you want from the New York Post wrapped up in one snappy show.

So when you're really confronting the president, he did the exact same thing. He wouldn't answer anything in 1920. And Americans put him into the White House. There's a disaster.

He didn't know anything. He didn't care. He spent three years in a White House playing cards with his corrupt friends, getting drunk and chasing his mistress around. Because Americans gave him that position knowing nothing about him. Because he wouldn't answer any question he wouldn't even campaign. Kamala campaigns, at least, won't answer any questions. My God.

All right, I don't think Donald Trump understands the extent of the hatred toward him. I don't think he does. And I'm going to portray something tonight that you don't know, and he probably doesn't know. All right, so stay with me here. I walk through this. There is a group called Color of Change. I came up against this group a few times. They are the worst smear merchants in the world.

No one worse, bottom feeders. They have millions of dollars courtesy of George Soros. In fact, in 2021, according to opensecrets.com, Soros gave color of change, all right? One million dollars. And is a reason why he did it. The president is Rashad Robinson, 45 years old. The Color of Change operation is based in New York City. It took credit for the New York City legal action against Donald Trump.

It put it on the Internet. This is Color of Change, taking credit. The headline was, Color of Change asserts that Trump indictment points to the importance of progressive prosecutors. That would be Alvin Bragg. Okay? So, color of change, George Soros, after Trump, big time. Why should you care? The color of change has visited the White House since Biden's been president 16 times.

Four times Biden himself. four times Vice President Harris herself. Okay? Why? Why is a radical left group visiting the White House 16 times? We don't know. In fact, the media never has reported this story, ever. I'm breaking it.

Got it? So I want to know the point of view on this, joining us not from Houston. in Texas is Dr. Randall Smith. He is a professor of theology at the University of St. Thomas in Houston. So first of all, my analysis, did I make any mistakes, as far as you know? No, I mean, essentially, I mean,

people might have described dogma and doctrine somewhat differently, but you've essentially, it seems to me, gotten the distinction right. Some things are infallible or what's sometimes called irreformable teachings and other things don't have that. They can be serious teachings, need to be taken seriously, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're infallible. Now, the Pope can give his opinion on politics.

There's nothing standing in the way of him doing that, but he doesn't seem to understand, and I've followed him, the downside of mass migration. Even though in Italy, it's a huge problem, as it is throughout Europe, with one exception, Malta, which just doesn't permit it. So with the Pope, would you say he's being naive, avoiding the unintended consequences of mass migration? Well, that may be, but, you know, to be fair, a little bit fair to the Pope, the question he was asked by the reporter was, with the U.S. elections coming up, what advice would you

give a Catholic voter, faced with a candidate who supports ending a pregnancy, didn't say abortion or killing a child, and another who wants to deport 11 million migrants, didn't say illegal immigrants, didn't talk to me. And so that's the question you're faced with. And the Pope said, well, abortion is murder. Don't be wrong about that. And then, of course, he said, everybody should be kind to migrants, et cetera, et cetera. So, which both are true. No, but he He was stronger on the migrant front. He said it was a sin. Yeah, it's a sin.

And he has in the past. So the question doctor comes down to is Pope Francis naive. Does he not know, all right, the evil that can happen when you have unregulated migration? And all you have to do is point to the gangs coming up from Venezuela, El Salvador, other people, Americans being murdered, rape, terrorized, whole communities and disarray. fiscal collapses everywhere. I mean, the list is endless. And Francis does not seem to be dialed into that, or am I wrong? No, I think you're right. I mean, again, it's unfortunate. When he does these little, you know, pressers on the airplane, it doesn't give him a chance to be detailed. He's got to know. He has to at this point. How volatile.

the situation is. Now, he uses the word lesser of two evils. All right. And in my message of the day, which we sent to you, I use myself as an example, okay? Because Cardinal Dolan came to me years ago, a few years ago, and asked me to finance homes for migrants. And I did. But I didn't ask, whether they were undocumented or not because that wasn't the subject. Subject was helping the poor, which I'm compelled to do as a Catholic. I didn't get into the politics of it. But my job as a commentator is to make sure that Americans understand abortion is far different than opposing unregulated migration,

which I do. I don't think I'm committing a sin by asking the, U.S. federal government to enforce immigration law. I don't think I'm committing a sin by doing that. Do you think the Pope would say that I am? Well, I don't know whether the Pope would say that, but he would not be in accord with Catholic teaching if he said that, right? Again, there are honest people of goodwill who can disagree about what to do about the immigration issue, but on the abortion issue where you're quite right, it's contrary to the natural law and the divine law, and you'd have to say it's, as the Pope does, it's murder.

So if you wanted to read that statement of his about the lesser of two evils, he would be clearly saying, as you just did, that you would have to preempt, make abortion, the preeminent issue. It's much more defined than the other. So 49% of American Catholics, and I was surprised by the number, 39 million, a big number, that voted in 2020. But 49% of those voted for the Democrats, Joe Biden. And Joe Biden doesn't want any restrictions on abortion either.

I mean, you never, ever come up. And as you know, some bishops have denied the President Communion. They believe he's aiding and abetting abortion. And I do, too. It's wrong to make judgments. I understand that. But politically, I think he's aiding and abetting. and abetting abortion.

My Catholic friends who support Biden, and I know many of them, I just look at them, I go, how can you do this? They have no answer, doctor. I have never gotten a cogent answer from a Catholic who voted for Joe Biden about that subject, have you? No, no, and I've written about this several times.

The same sort of thing. I mean, I hate to be the person who agrees with you completely, but the point is I've written repeatedly that if you were living in, Germany, for example, in 1936, the issue would be what they're doing to the Jews and tax policy or, you know, personalities would not enter into it. You would have to vote against people who are doing certain things to Jews. And if you lived in the United States during the time of Jim Crow or during the time of slavery, whatever your other policies might be, you would have had to vote against slavery. And we're in that situation. I just think people don't take it seriously.

that, as the Pope says, you're terminating a human life. This is killing a human life. I think there's something else in play for the Catholic vote. Most Catholics don't go to mass anymore. The polls show that. It's about maybe a quarter, a 10-weekly mass. And there are many American Catholics baptized in the faith who have no idea what the faith says. None.

And they don't care. We call them secular Catholics. I think that's probably the dominant group right now in the American Catholic Church. Would I be wrong? Well, you know, in the church as a whole, but you're undoubtedly right. So that, for example, when surveys of this sort are done of people who have been to mass, right, in the last week or the last two weeks, the results tend to be very different, right? Then you see a large support, I mean, well, a large support for Trump, but, I mean, a tremendous vote the other way for people who are pro-lawful. life candidates. So a lot of people check themselves in the box as Catholic, but don't really

go to Mass or don't really believe in the church's teaching. They just sort of think it's like, well, I was born Jewish and now I'm Jewish. And it's not quite that way. But many people sort of think that way. We might call them ethnically Catholic if such a term existed. I think that's that's what's going on here. And they don't really even understand. Final question. When you have any discussion like this about religion, the church and state thing comes in. So I go to mass every Sunday because I can't get behind and atoning. If I get behind and atoning, I'm through. I have to keep current in that. But I never hear, and I travel widely, ever a priest having a discussion like you and I are having right now, ever.

Spicer from the Sean Spicer Show podcast, reminding you to tune into my show every day to get your daily dose inside the world of politics.

You can find us at Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you're. you get your podcast. Power, politics, and the people behind the headlines. I'm Miranda Devine, New York Post columnist, and the host of the brand new podcast, Podforce One.

Every week, I'll sit down for candid conversations with Washington's most powerful disruptors, lawmakers, newsmakers, and even the president of the United States. These are the leaders shaping the future of America and the world. world. Listen to Podforce One with me, Miranda Devine, every week on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcast. You don't want to miss an episode. They never apply the theology to the election or to what's going on. Now, I understand you can't endorse a candidate. You'll violate your tax-free status if you do that. I mean, it happens all the time in other religions, but it doesn't happen very much.

The priests are frightened now, generally speaking, to make any kind of relevance to today what's happening. Again, am I wrong on that? Well, there I have to, I hate to disagree with you, you know. You disagree with me. That's why you have you are. Yeah, I have heard any number of homilies, actually, about the evils of abortion.

nobody has said oh so vote for this candidate but then a lot of people in the congregation said he was being political I don't think those priests were being political actually knew a priest up at Notre Dame who said I just read today that Joe Biden has never heard a homily against abortion and he said well here's one and he gave one right

I actually have heard a good number of homilies but you got to send me the address of the churches because I have never heard it address I hear, yeah, let's get out there and rally for life and all that, but I never hear it applied to a reality. And you remember in Notre Dame when they invited Barack Obama to get the honor, you know, because Obama was a big abortion guy too, what kind of controversy that caused. Doctor, we really appreciate the discussion. Thank you very much for helping it out today. And I ended my message of the day by saying, everybody asking, who would you like to interview that you have?

he'd Pope Francis. You know, I don't know if you'd like me, but, and I would be very respectful, but I would, okay, here we have it, you know, fascinating subjects. Media madness, and, you know, I may be overdoing this, and if I am, please write me bill at bill o'Reilly.com, bill at bill o'Reilly.com. Look, my audience is very sophisticated and knowledgeable. You wouldn't be here if you weren't. You'd be watching some other dopey cable thing where you learn nothing and all they do is what aboutism and spout these nonsensical things.

But here, we are very incisive and analytical in what we do. So just by the fact that you are listening and watching, you know a lot. So what is happening now is that the corporate media is concerned that Donald Trump may win. And that's from the very beginning, but now after two assassination attempts, it's getting to be very intense in NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN in those corridors, very intense. Now, I told you yesterday that Lester Holt, the NBC Nightly News Anchorman, gave an introduction to the Florida shooting situation. Remember, the Secret Service shot at the would-be assassin. And he was getting hammered. Holt was getting hammered by conservatives, but I said, I wanted to look into it more

and see what the whole thing was, the ARP. So let's do that now. Here's what Mr. Holt said. Go. Today's apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail itself. Mr. Trump, his running mate, J.D. Vance, continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio. This weekend, there were new bomb threats in that town. Okay. It's a selective lead, but it's not wrong. Okay, he walked the line. He didn't mention the rhetoric on the other side, but you really couldn't in that context. All right? So

fierce rhetoric is accurate. But on the left, on the Democratic side, it's worse. in my opinion, than what Trump and Vance are doing. And Lester didn't say that, but he was introducing a story about Trump and a possible motivating a situation. So I'm going to give, I'm not going to condemn Lester for that. I would have written it differently, but I don't think he went out with ill intent. But his fellow NBC news person, Joe Scarborough, who, specializes in ill intent, said this. Go.

You know, Donald Trump telling people in his audience to beat the hell out of any protesters of people they disagree with and he will pay for their legal funds. The amount of violent rhetoric coming from one side really is unprecedented in modern American politics. And it's got sharp and sitting here listening to it. One side is it. Violer at one side, not the other side. That's a lie.

And I will prove it right now. Go. It is language that is meant to divide us. It is language that I think people have rightly found similar to the language of Hitler. It is well known that he admires dictators, wants to be a dictator on day one, according to himself. It is well known that he said, of Putin, that he can do whatever the hell he wants and go into Ukraine. All right, false statements across the board by the vice president, no surprise. Dictator on

day one was when Trump was talking about executive orders, that he was going to straighten out some things that Biden did by executive orders. And he didn't say, I want to be a dictator. He said on day one, I'm going to override all of Biden's executive orders by writing my own hobby dictator on day one. Harris knows that. I don't know if she's smart enough to process it, but she knows it. And the second one is that Putin can do whatever

he wants. That was in the context of NATO has to pay its share of protective fees. Because if they don't, the United States can't pick up the whole tab, and then

Putin's going to be able to do what he wants. So when you have the Democratic side and their candidate coming on using the word Hitler and then distorting the whole thing, that's pretty fierce rhetoric. Is it not? So I don't want to upset the people at MSNBC by actually reporting the truth because they don't care about the truth. All right? It's all about the paycheck. Pay me. I'll say whatever you want. Just pay me. Join us now as one of the best political analysts in the country. You know I'm Doug Schoen.

His book Politics of Life, My Road to the Middle of a hostile and adversarial world is out in the marketplace and you should pick it up if you are interested in politics and an honest assessment of them. So the reason I ask for you that is trends. I don't believe, I think the polls are emotional at this point. And I don't think that people should lock them in. Maybe a month from now would do that. But the trend is away from Trump, but not for Harris. That's my analysis as an amateur, all right? I'm not seeing people go, oh, I gotta have that Kamala in office.

How do you see it? Bill, I think you're talking points they were exactly right. They want Trump's policies. They have doubts about Trump. They're moving to Harris because she's had a successful launch, has very little to do with substance, only to do with vibes, energy, joy,

take whatever phrase you want. And Donald Trump, for whatever reason, has moved away from issues, from governance, and from the future. And that has cost him two, three, four points that he otherwise didn't need to lose. Why do you think he's doing that? Do you have any idea at all?

I don't. I think, you know, I used to work for him 30-od years ago, so I spent a lot of time with him a long time ago. I found with him both observing and working with him, if he's distracted or if he's off his game, there's a tendency he has to go off on tantrum. I think that's what's happening now, but your advice is about as sound advice as I could give, and I've said it to people in his campaign, I've said it publicly, but he doesn't seem to be getting the message.

Yeah, I don't know why either. I haven't spoken with him. He texted me, oh, two weeks ago, maybe very short. I think he's mad at me because I'm not like some of the other broadcast. in his camp who, you know, they don't dissent about anything he does. And I am an honest broker of information here. I think that sometimes he sees that as criticism. And, you know, I understand that.

I mean, I'm criticizing the way he's personalizing things. Because I don't know if I were in the room with him or if he were on the other side of this television camera like you are, I would say, what good does it do to say, I hate, Swift, Ms. Webb. None at all, Bill. Not at all. It doesn't do any good. It mobilizes your MAGA base,

and maybe they'll get a chuckle out of it, but you already got them, all right? And you're trying to widen. You get 74 million votes in 2020, enormous amount of votes, more than any Republican has ever gotten, right? But you still didn't win, and you need to win this time around,

and you have so much more opportunity. Sue Biden was running on, he was the VP, hid in his basement, nobody knew. But Harris is a radical. I mean, she is a radical leftist. So you've got much easier opponent now, and you're still not honing in on her danger rather than her skin color and all this other crazy stuff. And I don't know why. He's a smart guy, Trump.

I don't know why he doesn't get the message. Bill, there's a very simple campaign message for him. Inflation cost of living out of control. southern border, been open millions of migrants, and on crime, which migrants have certainly increased, Tomlin Harris has been a far-left radical defund the police, cashless bail, and nonviolent crimes, no penalties. That's all he needs to talk about and say he's for tax-getting and he's for increasing tax. Well, and overseas, too. Yes, oh, absolutely. Americans are very worried about that. I don't think his staff is giving him really great advice, or I could be wrong,

and that he's just not taking it. But I had a line, and if he does debate Kamala Harris again, which I think he should at this point, and I'm harking back to my book, confronting the president, so Ronald Reagan turned it around in 1984, as you know, because Reagan had a terrible debate against Bondale, number one, and number two, waxed them. But all Trump had to stay, about the migrant thing rather than this crazy and sane eating dogs and cats was, you know, David Muir, before I answer that question tonight, I would like to apologize to the family of Lake and Riley on behalf of the United States of America for letting you down and failing to protect your college age order from a murderer.

I'd like to apologize, and I hope the vice president would join me in that apology. That would have won the election for Donald Trump if he had done that. Bill, empathy and compassion tied with real-world outcomes is what people want to hear about. Not the extreme rhetoric, not the hate, not the polarization. And indeed, the advice that you were suggesting, and I would underscore, Trump should come back to the unity message. He should talk about ending division in polarization. and say that's his central focus going forward

because Harris is trying to do it as a far-left radical, as you put it. And frankly, Trump has a argument to make, but he's not made it. See, I disagree with you a little on that. I wouldn't go for the unity stuff because nobody's going to really buy that. I want Donald Trump, if he's elected,

to fare it out all this corruption as far as a federal government is concerned. I want a better leadership in the FBI, the Secret Service, and all these agencies. Unity doesn't mean tolerating corruption. I don't want any kumbaya. I want Trump to call to me. No, I'm not talking kumbaya. I'm saying working systematically on our problems, people of goodwill across the aisle

to get inflation down, close the southern border, and be tough on crime. Yeah, that's efficiency rather than. unity. See, I don't think at this point anybody's going to buy any unity. They all know that Trump has gotten hosed to the extent only Abraham Lincoln has was put through more than Trump. And that if Trump wins, he should clean it up. Okay, one more question for you. Sure, please. I don't think predicting the election here today in the middle of September is an honest way to go about things because there's just every single day. But I do believe that Kamala Harris' support is very thin among working Americans,

not ideologues, not Democrats, not union people, leaders, whatever. It's very thin. And Trump could turn that around fairly quickly, do you agree? I completely agree. Hillary Clinton and Biden were five, six points ahead of Trump in 2016 and 2020. The election in both cases, as everyone knows, was very close. Kamala Harris has not made any substantive efforts to talk about her program or what she hopes to do other than platitudes. Trump can close the deal.

He can make the case. But so far, Bill, for whatever reason, he hasn't done it. And he hasn't shown signs of understanding that he needs the mid-course correction that you so wisely spoke up. All right. Thanks, Doug. The book again is Politics of Life, My Road to the Middle of a Hostel and Adversarial World, Doug Scholl. Bill, thank you. We'll talk soon.

So Hillary Klan is doing a media round. She got a book. She goes on a podcast, Kara Swisher. I think she used to work for CNN. And this is an unbelievable soundbite. Go. Does she have to do it? Because this is, you know, it seems like sometimes it's like she lands the plane and then

they're like, well, we'd like you to try it again. And she lands the plane. She does not have to do it, Kara. I'm going to just cut to the chase. In fact, she's put out policies on her. campaign website. Anybody who's truly interested can go and read about them. So she doesn't have to do interviews. That was the question. I should have set it up better. So Ms. Swish says, does she have to do interviews? And Hillary goes, no, they put it on a website.

Now, number one, Madam Secretary, I think that's what you call Hillary these days. She doesn't write that stuff on her website. Surely you know that. Can you invite somebody else? Not her. Number two, she should be able to explain her positions on policy. Verbly, in the moment, contemporaneously. This is such, so ridiculous. Now, Hillary Clinton herself was pretty good at that.

And she didn't dodge most of the question, some of them, but she asked a question. I interviewed her. She answered. But now she's going, oh, no, a couple of didn't have to answer anything. Warren Harding.

That's what Harris is doing. Warren G. Harding. That's why you need to read confronting the presidents. Smart Life, admit me your mistakes. I got to tell you, I'm a judgmental person, but I've been trying to pull back on that a little bit. But if somebody won't admit a mistake when the evidence is overwhelming, then I lose respect for that person.

I do because they're narcissistic and I don't want to hang with narcissists. So admit your mistake. So on Amazon.com, there are reviews. You read the book. You don't even have to buy it from Amazon. Anybody can post a review. It always happens for any of my books, all right? 10, 12% of people hate me.

They don't bother reading a book. They just hate me, so they hate the book by extension. So there was an O'Reilly hater that filed a review of the book. Hated it. Awful, worst book in the world. Okay. 80% of the people on Amazon right now think the book's great. But, and that number will rise as more people read the book.

But this guy hated the book. However, he pointed out a mistake in the book. We have in a footnote that Barack Obama did something in two, 2006. It was 2009. All right. It's a mistake. Now, he blames me for the mistake. Not my fault, okay, because I don't typeset. This was typeset wrong. Now, the publisher should have seen it when it came off, but the publisher didn't. So I scolded the publisher yesterday. In a funny way. But I go, look, this is embarrassing to me to blaming me. Let me just said, I write the book, I market the book, I can't typeset the book. But it was a mistake, and I apologize

for the mistake. And you should too. You make everybody makes mistakes. Trump never apologizes for anything, ever. That's a mistake. So final thought, confirming the president's going great. We hope we are number one on the New York Times. We've outsold by far every other nonfiction book in the last 10 days. So we should open at number one, but who knows? On Amazon, where many, many Americans buy their books, there is a review by Konstantinos Scarros. He is the founder of the Society of Presidential Historians in Academia. This is a big guy. He's what he says. the president's is historically accurate, eminently engaging, refreshingly objective, highly entertaining. Far too many scholarly history books are written to preserve the historical record. That's important,

but consequently they contain painstakingly dry and excruciating, boring detail. This book is chocked full of information that's easy to digest so the reader's eyes can easily glide from page to page. Well, Mr. Scarros, thank you very much from your perch as a presidential historian. That's what we set out to do. And the reviews are good. I'm very pleased with the reaction to confronting the presidents. If you read the book, you will be very smart. If you know urchins ages 13 to 25 and they're interested in their country,

give them confronting the president. They'll learn more than they learned in any classroom. Okay. All right. That is it for us this evening. I'm Bill O'Reilly. We'll see you again on Monday.
