of the message of the day in a moment. I have been telling you about a first time buyer in Texas. now I want to show you the other side, a seller who found an agent on real estate agents, itrust.com. A home seller in a very hot market needed to relocate quickly. Their agent suggested the following steps. One, priced a home just below similarly priced homes in the area to ensure high demand with multiple offers. Two, stage the home so that it stood out with great pictures, no clutter, and great curb appeal. Three, 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. Realestateagents.Itrust.com. That's real estate agentsitrust.com. Time now for the O'Reilly Update. Message of the day, the Twitter mob threatening democracy. This high-tech phenomenon is dangerous to every American because it is basically unregulated. And the Twitter mob can hurt individuals and groups in a flash. They call for boycotts. They threaten people. They defame people. And they do it with no restraint. Let me give you a few recent examples.

Kanye West, remember him. He likes President Trump, at least some of the time. He went to the White House. He talked to President Trump. Well, the mob immediately pounced on West, trying to hurt his music and himself. John Legend, far, far left entertainer, tweeted, quote, I hope you'll reconsider aligning yourself. You're way too powerful and influential to endorse who he is and what he stands for. As you know, what you say really means something to your fans, so many people who love you feel betrayed. Well, does not Kanye West have a right to a political opinion? What right does John Legend have by calling him out saying you're a bad person if you support someone that John Legend doesn't like?

It's ridiculous. Now, legend can tweet his opposition to President Trump, nothing wrong with that, but to drag West into it and try to hurt him is disgraceful. How about the Jay-Z thing? He partnered up with the NFL trying to promote social justice. Well, a football player named Eric Reed didn't like it. Quote, Jay-Z claimed to be a supporter of Colin Kaepernet wore his jersey, told people not to perform at the Super Bowl because of the treatment the NFL did to Colin.

Now he's going to be a part owner, kind of despicable. Well, again, Jay-Z is trying to promote social justice and Reed doesn't like it. So why try to hurt Jay-Z? Why doesn't Eric Reed just put out there, look, this is why I don't think it's correct, but Jay-Z has a right to do what he wants. How about the Brett Kavanaugh thing? Here's Elizabeth Warren currently running for president. And quote, Brett Kavanaugh has lied repeatedly to the Senate, even while under oath. An aspiring Supreme Court justice should be a person of integrity. Kavanaugh's dishonesty should disqualify him for sitting on the nation's highest court, unquote. Well, Wari never backed up her smear, never backed it up at all.

And the Twitter mob descended on Brett Kavanaugh and his family and almost tore them to pieces. It goes on and on and on. Actress Deborah Messing tweeted, a black vote for Trump as mental illness. This is real danger here, because these Twitter mobs are well organized by far, far left groups. There's some of it on the right, but not much. The groups are funded by dark money, and they can call for boycotts of businesses. They can threaten people's livelihoods.

I mean, this is wrong, and yet there is no solution to this problem under the first Amendment. The Twitter machine, which has led to the Twitter mob, is totally unregulated, as I said, and can do what it wants. You can't sue it. You can't stop it. But you should know how dangerous this entire thing is. That is the message of the day. Now, you may have heard about my latest book, The United States of Trump, how the president sees America.

Now, the O'Reilly Update brings you something you might not know. Throughout our history, eight American presidents have died while serving in office. William Harry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, Warren Harding, Franklin Roosevelt, all from natural causes. The other four, Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley, and Kennedy were assassinated, as you know. But here's something you might not know. Many sitting presidents suffered major medical problems during their time in the Oval Office, often going to great lengths to

conceal their maladies from the public and even from their own administrations. Here's an example. Grover Cleveland, remember him, discovered a large tumor on the roof of his mouth. Fearing a negative impact on Wall Street, Mr. Cleveland ordered a top secret mission. His physicians ferried the president to a private yacht in New York Harbor, where doctors removed the tumor in the dead of the night. Some of the doctors said that Cleveland had a 20% chance of dying on that operating table, but even his vice president, Adelae Stevenson, was unaware of the operation. Woodrow Wilson battled an undiagnosed brain conditions. Symptons included hypertension, migraines, double vision. He eventually suffered a series of strokes in office,

leaving him blind in one eye and unable to use his left hand. Wilson, his wife, and the White House surgeon concealed the illness from the public until Wilson left office. President Dwight Eisenhower suffered three major medical crises during his two terms, including a heart attack and stroke. Six months before the 1956 election, Eisenhower was diagnosed with Crohn's disease, undergoing emergency surgery for a condition he battled in secret the rest of his life. After surviving an assassination attempt in 1981, President Ronald Reagan suffered multiple bouts of cancer during a second term. undergoing various surgeries to remove tumors on his colon and skin. Rumors that Reagan was battling dementia plagued him in his last two years in office. The 40th president of the United States was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease shortly after leaving the White House.

All of that is documented in my book, Killing Reagan, which is an interesting read, I think you'll find. Back after this. Capital One data breach just hit. 106 million of us.
