But first, White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham confirming there will no longer be daily briefings, claiming network correspondents are using the televised events to, quote, get famous.

Top British official calling for the elimination of cow consumption in the UK, urging lawmakers to ban red meat products in specific locations as they limit tobacco and alcohol.

TV ratings for the Emmys plunge to record lows, the award ceremony pulling in the smallest audience and its 71-year history, down 42% from 2015.
Starting point is 00:02:31 Like the Academy Awards, the Emmy Show did not have a host, mainly because few care about Hollywood anymore, and the show is boring. In a moment, the O'Reilly Update, Message of the Day, a new history book on President Trump. Right back with that. A young lady who was looking to buy her first home in Texas, the market at her price point is very hot, so she went to real estate agents, I trust.com for help. To ensure her offer was accepted, her agent suggested the following steps. One, get prequalified with a mortgage company that her agent had a history using to satisfy
Starting point is 00:03:11 the seller's agent. Two, find a home that was priced to sell so they knew the owner was ready to move. Three, find a home well located and priced correctly so it could be leased if an emergency occur. Four, anticipating multiple offers, offer more than asking, but still less than what the house would be appraised for. And five, offer to help with some of the closing costs. The house the lady wanted had 10 offers in three days, but she got the house because she had an agent who knew how to get the job done. That's why I love real estate agents.itrust.com. No pinheads, just great agents. Get moving.
Starting point is 00:03:53 with real estate agents, I trust.com. That's real estate agents, I trust.com. Time now for the O'Reilly Update message of the day, my new book, The United States of Trump, How the President Really Sees America. The book is out today. Now, you may know that every September I usually release a killing book. There have been eight of them. And those books are the the most successful non-fiction book series in history, 17 million copies in print. But this September, I decided to delay the next killing book to put out a history book about President Trump. It's not pro-Trump, it's not against Trump. It's a book that explains who Donald Trump really is and how he pulled off the most audacious thing in political history.
Starting point is 00:04:59 It is an amazing, amazing story. Now, there are no anonymous sources in the book. That'll confuse many media people. There's no speculation in the book. Everything is fact-based and on the record. I wrote the book because I am personally angry about the press coverage of Donald Trump. Not that I favor Mr. Trump or excuse some of his dubious behavior. I don't. It's in the book. But I believe that the mass media in America, generally speaking, wants to damage the President of the United States no matter what he does. And I also know for a fact that you, the American people, have not received the truth about Donald Trump. So my new book states that truth. I did have the president's cooperation. I talked to him about five times. Two major interviews.
Starting point is 00:06:04 I think you'll find them instructive, even funny sometimes. I asked him questions about his childhood, about his Vietnam experience, about his father, his mother, his grandfather. And many times the president did not want to answer those questions. He's not a look-back kind of guy. He's not going to his high school reunion. I don't know whether Donald Trump will like this book. I did send it to him as a courtesy. He did tweet something about it. So I don't think he hates it. but I don't know how he's going to see his whole life unfolding on the pages of the United States of Trump. It's got to be unsettling for any human being. Now, the most important thing about the book is that we Americans are all, every one of us, affected by President Trump. Our lives
Starting point is 00:07:01 are influenced both negatively and positively by what he does on a day-to-day basis. And we are getting the truth about what he does or why he's doing it. This is not a policy book. I don't lay out what he's doing economically or overseas. This is about the man, how he sees his country, America, how he sees it, and why he was able to pull off this amazing feat, becoming president of the United States with no experience and no party backing. The United States of Trump, You'll check it out. There's an excerpt on Bill O'Reilly.com. And let me know what you think. Up next, something you might not know. It's an uncertain world out there.
