on real estate agents,itrust.com. A home seller in a very hot market needed to relocate quickly. Their agent suggested the following steps. 1. Priced the home just below similarly priced homes in the area to ensure high demand with multiple offers. 2. Stage the home so that it stood out

with great pictures, no clutter, and great curb appeal. 3. Market aggressively to fellow agents providing a timeline for accepting offers. This created a big sense of urgency for buyers interested in the home. Four, their agent reviewed the offers quickly, communicated with the owners about the caliber of the offers, strong financing, cash, closing date, so many factors to consider. And five, after just three days on a market, the seller's got 5% over their asking price. And the buyer

agreed to pay closing costs. This is why you need a great agent from real estate agents, itrust.com. Get the job done. Get moving. Real estate agents, I trust.com. That's real state agents, I trust.com. Time now for the O'Reilly update message of the day, how President Trump stimulated the far-left movement we are seeing in America. Back in 2015, Donald Trump decided to run for president, and few took his candidacy seriously. I remember being at a New York Nick game with Mr. Trump when he told me, you know, I'm thinking about running for president. and I said to him of what country? I have known the man for 30 years, and I knew he was interested in politics, but I never thought he would give a presidential run that kind of serious consideration.

But Donald Trump's demeanor in politics was so different, some say outrageous, that the television networks gave him a massive amount of airtime. He was everywhere. His message got to out like lightning. The press smirked at him, but gave him massive amounts of publicity. But the folks were not smirking. So Donald Trump dominated the Republican debates, grew in the polls, and eventually secured the Republican nomination for president, as we all know. Well, the press was embarrassed by that and began hating Donald Trump. At first, they thought he was a clown, Now they want to destroy him. And anyone else who wants to hurt Donald Trump is embraced by the press. That's how the far-left movement rose up in America. Aided by entities like CNN and

MSNBC, far-left people began to go on television just as Donald Trump once had. And they spewed unbelievable vitriol against the president. Well, the politicians caught on to that. And radical left people like Elizabeth Warren, Beto O'Rourke, and Kamala Harris, decided to run for president joining Bernie Sanders in a cavalcade of far-left thought. That would never have happened had, say, Jeb Bush been elected president? Because Mr. Bush is an establishment figure. But because Donald Trump is so far out of the box, other people on the extreme left are now mainstreamed by the media. Presto, the Democratic Party moves far left. Now, Donald Trump fired back, as you know, through tweets and interviews attacking the radical left and the press, which enables

it. That gave the left even more currency and publicity. It's almost the same thing that happened to Donald Trump himself. So now we have in this country a movement that wants to disassemble the entire country. Socialism is now suddenly acceptable. Far-left tenants like abortion on demand at time have been mainstreamed. All of us are watching with astonishment. Now, I have chronicled this in great detail in my new book, The United States of Trump, which comes out one week from today. I think you'll learn a lot from reading the book, and you can check it out on bill o'Reilly.com. If you want to know more, we have posted an excerpt from that book. So summing up, Donald Trump, help the radical left. There's no question about it.
