1 00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 1: In this episode of news World, the concept of evil 2 00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 1: is universal, ancient, and ever present. In his new book, 3 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,319 Speaker 1: Confronting Evil, Bill O'Reilly recounts the deeds of the worst 4 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: people in history Genghis Khan, the Roman emperor, Caliguila, Henry 5 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,760 Speaker 1: the Eighth, the Collective Evil, the nineteenth century slave traders, 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: and the twentieth century robber barons, Stalin Hitler, Mao, the 7 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: Ayatollahmani Putin, the Mexican drug cartels. Collectively, these warlords, tyrants, businessmen, 8 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: and criminals are directly responsible for the death and misery 9 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 1: of hundreds of millions of people. Confronting Evil became an 10 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: instant number one New York Times bestseller. I'm really pleased 11 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,639 Speaker 1: to welcome my guests, my good friend, my colleague over 12 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,599 Speaker 1: the years, Bill O'Reilly.

Bill, welcome and thank you for joining 17 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 1: me again on news World. 18 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 2: My pleasure, mister speaker. You're looking good. I'm glad everything's 19 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 2: going well, for you. 20 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: I have to tell you twenty New York Times bestseller. 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: I've written a lot in my lifetime, but I have 22 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 1: nothing like the number of books in print. You do. 23 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 1: With that kind of record, you can write anything you 24 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: want to. What made you want to tackle evil as 25 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,720 Speaker 1: your subject this time. 26 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 2: Well, I came off Confronting Presidents. We switched from the 27 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 2: Killing series to Confronting and that was the first big 28 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: book and it was a very big success. Presidents and 29 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: these books take a year to research and write. So 30 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 2: this time last year, I was searching around for a 31 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: subject and I noticed that in the United States and 32 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: all over the world, but particularly in our country, there 33 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 2: was a rise in evil day to day. You could 34 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 2: see it in the criminal justice system. You could see 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 2: it the way people behave on the internet, even in 36 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: the courts. Civility is gone, plagiarism is crazy, people lie 37 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: all the time. And I said, you know, we're looking 38 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: away from this as a collective people, the American public 39 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: is looking away. So let me write a book that's 40 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: going to shock everybody into how much evil there has 41 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 2: been and there is. That's why I put putin in 42 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: the iatola on a cover, and maybe that will mobilize 43 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,480 Speaker 2: the good people to reassess how they deal with evil. 44 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: So that was a goal, and then we carried it 45 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: out and the rest, as they say, is history. 46 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: Well, you chose fifteen of the worst figures in history. 47 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: How did you narrow the group down? 48 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 2: Every one of them relates to our lives today. That's 49 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: how I narrowed it down. So you say, well, why 50 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 2: is it Saddam Mussan in there? Because he was localized. 51 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 2: His evil was localized. Which Saddam Mussane did doesn't influence 52 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 2: us today. Paul Pott Cambodia slaughtered his own people, but 53 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 2: it stayed within the borders of that country. These miscreants, 54 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 2: every one of them from Caligia on, influence the world 55 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 2: today negatively, and that's the binding thread on them all. 56 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 1: One of the topics which is the current present example 57 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 1: of evil is the Mexican drug cartels. And you write, quote, 58 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: the suffering perpetuated by the Mexican drug gangs is uncalculable, 59 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: the evil on debated. It is doubtful this wicket industry 60 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: will ever be fully eradicated. What do you think we 61 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: should be doing to minimize the pain that they inflict 62 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: on the American people. 63 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 2: During Donald Trump's first term. I had dinner with him 64 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 2: on No I'm name dropping here, but it's important to 65 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 2: answer your question accurately. I had dinner with him in 66 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 2: Florida and we were talking about what he wanted to 67 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: accomplish and how that might lead to a reelection. This 68 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: is about twenty eighteen, I would say. I said to him, 69 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 2: you know this fentanyl Mexico corruption on the cartels. People 70 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: aren't jumping up and down and screaming about it, but 71 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 2: everybody I know has been affected by it. They've either 72 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:35,239 Speaker 2: lost family members or friends where their neighborhoods have deteriorated, 73 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: or they feel they can't go out to the bodega 74 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 2: or the grocery store because they get mugged by a 75 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 2: drug addict. This is big. I said. The only way 76 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: that you can defeat that is to declare these cartels 77 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: terror groups, just as you did with ISIS and al Qaida, 78 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 2: and use the US military to blow them off the 79 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 2: face of the earth, but not in a way that's 80 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: going to cause World War three. Exactly what you did 81 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 2: to ISIS. Obama and Trump really did a methodical job 82 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: in dismantling ISIS. I wrote about that in killing the Killers, 83 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 2: I said, you got to bring the same kind of 84 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: vision to knocking out those drug cartels, and he didn't 85 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 2: do it in his first term, but now he is. 86 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,280 Speaker 2: And that's the only way to defeat these people. You 87 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: got to kill him. 88 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,360 Speaker 1: So when you say, for example, the three boats off 89 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,159 Speaker 1: Venezuela get wiped out, that fits how you would approach 90 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: this whole thing. You have to literally take them apart. 91 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 2: That's right. And Venezuela is now in narco state, just 92 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: like Panama was when you were a congressman, and Bush 93 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: the Elder went in and kidnapped the president Doriega and 94 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: just invaded Panama took him out because that whole thing 95 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: was a narco state. That's what Venezuela is now. Now 96 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 2: Mexico is a little bit different. Zio cannot control the cartels. 97 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 2: The president Scheinbaum is afraid of them, physically afraid. Obrador 98 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 2: was corrupt, in my opinion, as many of the Mexican 99 00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:14,359 Speaker 2: presidents were. The military is corrupted down there, so we 100 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: can't count on Mexico to do much. So we have 101 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 2: to do it. But Venezuela is Trump's main target now 102 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 2: because he wants to get Maduro out of there. And Maduro, 103 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 2: according to all of our investigative agencies, is making millions 104 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,479 Speaker 2: of dollars being paid off by the cocaine traffickers in 105 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,720 Speaker 2: South America, and so I expect to see more of that. 106 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: You might even see military action by the US on 107 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 2: Venezuela and soil. 108 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: You describe Putin as an unstable individual who obviously does 109 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: not value human life at all. How do you explain 110 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 1: It's almost like he is rejecting the reality of the 111 00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: United States and the Europeans steadily building more momentum to 112 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: defeat him, and he seems almost locked into a campaign 113 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: that has no future. 114 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 2: He's a psychopath. On nine to eleven, you may have 115 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: noticed this. I was invited to Yankee Stadium by President Trump. 116 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: Now he doesn't invite me to have a couple of 117 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: hot dogs and watch the game. I knew that he 118 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 2: wanted to talk about a couple of things. I didn't 119 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: know what, but his people called me and I said, 120 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: when you're invited by a president, as you well know, 121 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: you have to go. So I went and we talked 122 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 2: about Putin. I handed him confronting evil. I said, look, 123 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: I know you're busy, mister President, But you got to 124 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: read this chapter on Putin because he's not the same 125 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 2: guy that you were dealing with the first time around. 126 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: Because that always happens when you embrace evil, mister speaker, 127 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: when that is your primary goal in life to hurt 128 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 2: other people, you get worse. There is no rehab for evil. 129 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 2: Every one of these tyrants I write about deteriorated and 130 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 2: got worse and worse and worse. That is happened to Putin. 131 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 2: So he's not the same guy. And that's a mistake 132 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 2: that President Trump made. He felt that when he came 133 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 2: back into office he could contain Putin like he did 134 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: the first time around. It's a different Putin and now 135 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 2: there's a self destructive straight to him. Now. I think 136 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: he can be contained if the Chinese cooperate, and that's 137 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: a big if. But this guy is hell bent on 138 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: killing people. He's targeting hospitals and schools and little villages 139 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 2: in Ukraine. That's not a military campaign. That's a terror 140 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 2: campaign and that's what he's doing. And a world needs 141 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: to really assess Putin the way he is. Stop with 142 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 2: the bs. This is a dangerous, dangerous individual because he 143 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 2: has nuclear weapons. 144 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: Do you think if he, in fact did feel like 145 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 1: they were losing, that he would use tactical nuclear weapons. 146 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 2: Yes, he's capable of it, and he's built the doc 147 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: Con a black c where underground he's got an unbelievable 148 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 2: complex that would protect him from any kind of nuclear 149 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 2: fallout in Russia. He's got two big submarines that park 150 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: themselves outside the DACA in the Black Sea. This is 151 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 2: an amazing compound, and you don't do something like that 152 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 2: by accident. Now, I'm not going to say that he 153 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 2: wants to do this, because obviously this would destroy his 154 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 2: whole foundation of power any kind of a nuclear activity. 155 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: But he's capable of it. 156 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 1: I think he explains part of why Trump has been 157 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: very careful and pushing him but not shoving him into desperation. 158 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 2: That's right. The key to this is China, and I 159 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: was invited by the Beijing government in May to go 160 00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 2: there and to have a Q and A all the 161 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 2: cues with a pullit Bureau of Communist China and I 162 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: was the A and it was an amazing experience. The 163 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: reason they invited me was YouTube. They watched me every 164 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: night on YouTube. That's been a big game changer for 165 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 2: the O'Reilly Enterprises. We have an independent news agency based 166 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 2: on Billoreilly dot com and we from the very beginning 167 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 2: eight years ago have been exceedingly successful, but now with 168 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 2: YouTube world worldwide, so she and the boys watch me. 169 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: I got the invitation through Harvard because China does a 170 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 2: lot of business with Harvard. They know I'm a graduate 171 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 2: of the Kennedy School, and I went with my twenty 172 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 2: one year old political science major son. It was an 173 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 2: amazing experience. Part of what I suggested, you don't tell 174 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 2: the communist government anything, you're polite and respectful, was that 175 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 2: they should get out of the Putin business because this 176 00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: is not a long term positive for China. They listen 177 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: very intently to that, and if Donald Trump can convince 178 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 2: she to back away from Putin, that will really lessen 179 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 2: the threat. But I'm not sure that's going to happen. 180 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: That would be a huge change in the whole balance 181 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: of power. 182 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: In the world, no doubt about it. And to watch 183 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: that police state unfold before my eyes in Beijing, it's 184 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 2: an amazing occurrence. In fact, Malzetungu was the worst mass 185 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 2: murderer the world has ever seen, about twenty million of 186 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,440 Speaker 2: his own people He killed many through starvation, and we 187 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 2: have that, of course, in confronting evil. And what he 188 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: did was just be on the pale. I've never seen 189 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: anything like it, Starving baby, starving people to try to 190 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 2: reorganize this crazy communist society the way he wanted it. 191 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 2: But you go to China, Now this Mao's picture all 192 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,560 Speaker 2: over the place. Can you imagine American killing twenty million 193 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,439 Speaker 2: of his fellow citizens and have his picture everywhere. That's 194 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: the taken place in China. We need to understand who 195 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: our adversaries are, what their mindset is. But I don't 196 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: think China is self destructive. I think that they would 197 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 2: like to prosper on their own terms. But I think 198 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 2: Daytona's possible there. 199 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: I just have to ask you about Gengis Khan in 200 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 1: your judging, Why is he evil? 201 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: Okay? So, Jengas Khan was way ahead of his time 202 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: as far as being a tyrant. He took that to 203 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,640 Speaker 2: the level that it had never been even thought about. 204 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 2: His empire extended from the Pacific Ocean of China, Okay, 205 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 2: all the way to Hungary. You look at a map 206 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:05,360 Speaker 2: and a Mongol horsemen just devastated everybody because they were 207 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 2: fighting on horseback and nobody else was and Khan's orders 208 00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:13,079 Speaker 2: were kill everybody. You don't need to take any prisoners, 209 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 2: We don't want to feed him anyway. Just going to 210 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 2: behead everybody, put the head on sticks, and everybody else surrender, 211 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 2: And that's pretty much what happened. So this guy was 212 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,600 Speaker 2: basically the four runner of Hitler and everybody else. He 213 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 2: conquered all of that territory. How he influences us today 214 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 2: is that China is still paranoid of foreigners because of 215 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: Djengis Khan. And one of the things that I did 216 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 2: when I was in China was visit the Great Wall, 217 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: which it is the most magnificent human structure ever created 218 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 2: on this planet. You go there, in your mouth goes, 219 00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 2: how can he have done this? And our wall was 220 00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 2: put up to keep the Mongol warriors out of But 221 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: the mentality and the terror that Khan brought to China 222 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 2: and everybody else still to this day resonates the suspicion 223 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 2: that so much bad can happen. It's an amazing thing, 224 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 2: particularly in Asia where Americas don't have a great frame 225 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 2: of reference, that fear is still there. 226 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: When you studied him, what do you think there was 227 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: about him. He's a slave at about thirteen, breaks loose, 228 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: organizes his family, and then gradually builds this entire empire. 229 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 1: What was it about him personally? You think that enabled 230 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: him to be such an extraordinary change agent. 231 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:47,320 Speaker 2: He's a warrior. He was the toughest guy on the block, 232 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 2: and the Mongols respected that. A lot of times. He 233 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: would actually lead the campaigns himself until he got older, 234 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: that he handed over to his grandsons. But this guy 235 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 2: who was a savage and he had no compassion, he 236 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: had no weakness that the warriors could see, and so 237 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 2: he was an energetic, charismatic leader. And most of them 238 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 2: were mal is a coward now hidding the mountain the 239 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 2: sea didn't fight Shan Kai Schek, but Hitler got the 240 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 2: Iron Cross in World War One. Okay, Stalin, he wasn't 241 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: a warrior, but you are really tough guys down. So 242 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 2: you go down to these villains and many of them 243 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: are personally courageous, and Kahn leaves the league in that. 244 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: Now in the modern era, one of the people you 245 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: write about is Ayatollahomonia. Why do you include him in 246 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 1: this list of evil? 247 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 2: Because he lighted the fuse to terrorism to the Jihad. 248 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 2: And it's an amazing story because the Persian people, as 249 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,920 Speaker 2: you well know because you're a historian, not about country 250 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: educated people. And they had a terrible leader, okay, who 251 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: they booted out, and that happens all the time, Okay, 252 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: the Shah of Iron. And we tell you in confronting evil, 253 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 2: how bad the Shah? What? People aren't ha any money. 254 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 2: And this guy's got eighteen residences and he's flying in 255 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 2: ducks from Austria to eat. So the Ayatola comes in 256 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 2: with the full compliance of the Persian people, all right, 257 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 2: and he basically says, I'm running the show. No freedom, 258 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 2: none and we're gonna kill as many infidels as we can. 259 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: It was the same Hitler asked stuff. Hitler wasn't deceiving anybody. 260 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: He wrote a book Mine Coffee. He says, look, you 261 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 2: give me power. I'm gonna kill everybody I don't like. 262 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 2: That's what the Iotola did. The Iotola didn't walk in 263 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 2: and go yeah, wait, they will negotiate or something. Nah. 264 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: He goes they're all gonna die, and person goes okay. 265 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 2: So he gets power. He sets up this police state. 266 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 2: But the police state doesn't just stay in Iran, it 267 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 2: goes to Hamas, it goes to Hezbula, it goes all 268 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 2: over the place. Al Kaita, the money's coming in. Any 269 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 2: arms are coming in and kill the infidels. And who's 270 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: the infidels? Well in the USA and Israel because the Jews, 271 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: we got to kill all of them, of course, and 272 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 2: so he so insidious And to this day the world 273 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 2: is dealing with what the Ayatolahomani set up. 274 00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: It's amazing. Look, I'm confident that Confronting Evil is not 275 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: just going to be a popular book because your books 276 00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: are always popular. I think it's an important book because 277 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: we've had a very hard time with the word evil 278 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 1: in the modern secular world. And yet unless you're prepared 279 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: to understand that evil does exist, you really can't develop 280 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: any kind of serious understanding of what it takes to 281 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 1: defeat it. And that's as I think this is an 282 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,400 Speaker 1: important book, both an interesting book, but also in getting 283 00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: and reminding us that some people in the world who 284 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 1: really are truly evil and you have to deal with them. 285 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 2: The problem for Americans is this the amount of interest 286 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 2: in religion theology has declined so dramatically in the last 287 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 2: fifty years that there are a number of Americans who 288 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 2: don't even believe is evil. Everybody's got an excuse, all right, 289 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: there's always a yeah. Now, you can't punish the violent 290 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 2: criminal because it's society's fault, all right. So once you 291 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: get a population that looks away, that looks away, doesn't 292 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 2: mitigate evil even in their own families. Here's the best 293 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 2: example I can give you. Charlie Kirk is assassinated. That's 294 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 2: an individual evil act, no debate, Okay. His father in Utah, 295 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 2: Saint George, Utah, and I've been there, a very nice town. 296 00:18:55,960 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 2: Small is a sheriff's deputy for many, many years. He 297 00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 2: tells the press. The father tells the press, my son 298 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 2: became mentally ill, deteriorated, and the family could see it 299 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 2: because he was on the dark recesses of social media 300 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 2: of the internet, and we could see it. So my question, 301 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: and I would say this with all sensitivity, is why 302 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 2: wasn't there any intervention? Why didn't you do something or 303 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 2: bring it to a level where it was hard for 304 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: your son to act out? I'm sure the answer, And 305 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 2: again I believe that family, and that was one of 306 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:41,120 Speaker 2: the things that I suggested to President Trump at Yankee Stadium. 307 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 2: I said, you got to mention the legs assassins family, 308 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:48,480 Speaker 2: their lives are. That's what evil does. Evil metastasizes and 309 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: destroys everything in his way, including the assassin's family. And 310 00:19:53,880 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: Trump did he mentioned them. Okay, But the vivid description 311 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 2: of the decline of this mentally ill person to kill 312 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: Charlie Kirk was noticed. And I submit to you that 313 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: most Americans see evil and turn away from it because 314 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: it's unpleasant. They don't want to get involved. It's not 315 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: my purview, it's not my responsibility. It is well. 316 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: I mean, if you watch the four minute video of 317 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: the young Ukrainian woman who has stabbed to death on 318 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:35,040 Speaker 1: the train in Charlotte, not a single person calls nine 319 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 1: one one, Not a single person tries to help her. 320 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 1: If the woman sitting next to her simply helps, she 321 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: might well have been alive. I mean, it's an astonishing 322 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 1: comment on the degree to which any sense of society 323 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: has broken down. And this poor young woman who'd come 324 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: to America to escape the dangers of Ukraine ends up 325 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: getting killed by a total stranger for no reason. And 326 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: the total stranger says openly, look, I had evil in 327 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: my head and it forced me to do it and 328 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: says I'm crazy. 329 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,719 Speaker 2: I took that story two steps further. Number One, I 330 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 2: understand the people on the bus for afraid. I got 331 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,000 Speaker 2: it guy hat a knife. They're afraid. That's natural. I 332 00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: would have done something. You would have done something. But 333 00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: we're different people. But the judge who let that guy 334 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: out on the street, that judge still sitting there in 335 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 2: North Carolina. That judge should have been removed immediately by 336 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: the governor, immediately suspended. That's what I mean. A governor 337 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: looked away from it. It's evil to put dangerous people 338 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: out on the street when you don't have to. That's evil. 339 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 2: So the book was written with this passion that if 340 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: we continue down this road of apathy, of cowardice, of denial, 341 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 2: evil's going to grow and grow quickly. 342 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 1: You have been amazing in understanding the new technologies, the 343 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,879 Speaker 1: new communications systems. Could you just talk for a mare 344 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: or two about the whole concept of no Spin News 345 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 1: and the way that Billreilly dot Com has become such 346 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,920 Speaker 1: a remarkable success. 347 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 2: Well, it's an evolution. I've been in the business fifty years, Okay, 348 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,680 Speaker 2: you've been in politics for me than I've been in journalism. 349 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 2: But I'm the last man standing from my journalism class 350 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,440 Speaker 2: at Boston University, and all the people that I worked 351 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 2: with throughout the decades, they're all retired, playing pickleball, whatever 352 00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 2: they do. I'm still here. The only one really probably 353 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:06,479 Speaker 2: parallels me a little bit. And what I always wanted 354 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 2: to do with my life was tell the truth. That's it. 355 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 2: So that when I got in a position of responsibility 356 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 2: by anchoring broadcasts, it was a very simple equation. Tell 357 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 2: the truth and the people will respond to that. That's 358 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 2: exactly what happened. Don't be a weasel, don't be bis, 359 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 2: don't equivocate, come to a conclusion, back it up as 360 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 2: best you can as what journalism is supposed to be, 361 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 2: and let it fly. And it worked. What happened to 362 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 2: me was that once I left the corporate structure, and 363 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: I should have done it much earlier, because the corporate 364 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 2: structure and Bill O'Reilly are not compatible. I don't want 365 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: people telling me what to do. Number one, I know 366 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 2: what to do, all right. I've been the eighty six countries, 367 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 2: covered four wars. I know what it's about, and I'm 368 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 2: a historian to boot, So I don't want some guy 369 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 2: named Randy who doesn't know anything saying no, no, I 370 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 2: never been campatible. Once the technology was developed whereby I 371 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 2: could get my message across without the big corporate umbrella 372 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: bank and I hired great people, a lot of young people, 373 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,840 Speaker 2: trained them like Navy seals to get through me. Everybody 374 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 2: I trained at Fox News is now either producing. They're 375 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 2: all successful because when a media company sees O'Reilly factor, 376 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 2: they know to get through me. It's like the Marines. 377 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 2: I mean, you have to have the goods. But what 378 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 2: stuns me now is that I can deliver my message 379 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 2: to Mongolia to everywhere, all right. I have to be 380 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 2: honest and say I did not anticipate that when I 381 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 2: started bill O'Reilly dot Com in the No Spin News, 382 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 2: I did know I'd be successful because I took so 383 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,680 Speaker 2: many people away from the cable universe and the network 384 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 2: news because they still had an interest in what I 385 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 2: wanted to say. I believe, and this goes back to 386 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:27,920 Speaker 2: my room in Catholic upbringing. I believe I'm here for 387 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:33,119 Speaker 2: a reason. I'm on this planet for a reason, that 388 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 2: I've been given certain talent, and that my obligation is 389 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,280 Speaker 2: to use the talent for as much good as I can. 390 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 2: It's a simple equation. But that's what Catholicism is. You 391 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 2: have a decision. You can either try to be good 392 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 2: or bad, or evil, good or evil. You got to choose, 393 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 2: and based upon what you do choose, it will be 394 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 2: either rewarded or damn. That's it. That's what it is. 395 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: So a lot of it isn't me. I believe that 396 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 2: I've been directed to do this stuff. I mean, I 397 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 2: should be in a jar someplace with all I've been through, 398 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 2: but I'm here and I'm kind of still feisty, and 399 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: I don't think it's me. I think that this is preordained. 400 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: And you have the great virtue that you do something 401 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 1: you love, and I think that keeps people healthier and 402 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: allows them to stay active far longer than if you 403 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: had retired and tried to play pickleball. 404 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 2: Look, there is a rhythm to life. A lot of 405 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 2: younger people because they never get this kind of instruction 406 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,360 Speaker 2: in school, or a lot of times they have bad parents, 407 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 2: and there's a rhythm to life. Some of it. The 408 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 2: rhythm is real, tough, real bad, bad things happen to everybody, 409 00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 2: and you have to be persistent, you have to get 410 00:26:55,840 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 2: up and everybody gets it. Nobody escaped. But if you're 411 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 2: genuinely a good person and you want to help your 412 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 2: country or family, whatever, you'll get a chance to do that. 413 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 2: But then it's out of your hands. You do the 414 00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 2: best that you can. 415 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: I mean, you are a great example for people that 416 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: if you're persistent, if you're willing to learn, if you 417 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,200 Speaker 1: willing to do new things. Who would have thought when 418 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 1: you had the highest rated show on cable news that 419 00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: you would turn around and then have twenty consecutive New 420 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: York Times bestsellers. And then the process, by the way, 421 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: also go on this emerging technology at YouTube and now 422 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: have a worldwide audience. You have evolved with the world 423 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: around you in ways that I find very admirable, which 424 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 1: is why I always like doing a podcast with you. 425 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 2: One more thing though, and this is important for all 426 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 2: of your listeners. A lot of evil people tried to 427 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,720 Speaker 2: derail me, and I didn't quite figure that out as 428 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 2: quickly as I should have big money behind it, because 429 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:08,480 Speaker 2: they saw me as a threat to what they were 430 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 2: up to. Across a boy, we got to get this guy. 431 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:17,120 Speaker 2: And if you look throughout history, Lincoln, I can name 432 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 2: ten of them that were really really solid individual, always 433 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,480 Speaker 2: always at risk, always evil want to take them down, 434 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 2: all of them. And that is another factor in why 435 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:37,560 Speaker 2: there aren't more good people that step up and run 436 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: for office or write things or whatever because they're freed. 437 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 2: Because they're going to come after you. The evildoers are 438 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,120 Speaker 2: going to come after you. They came after me big time. 439 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 2: I fought them and I won, but boy was it painful. 440 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 2: And now you have corporations, entire media corporations, powerful powerful people. 441 00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 2: Disney is the best example, that go out of their 442 00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: way to enable evil, to allow things they never should allow. 443 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: That's totally different than when it happened in the past, 444 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,360 Speaker 2: when corporations are basically never benign, but they were neutral. 445 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: Not it promote and crap. That's destructive, and if you're 446 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 2: on the other side of that, they cancel you. So 447 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 2: I can't get on any of the networks to talk 448 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 2: about my book, even though it's the best selling book 449 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 2: in the country, then won't put me on. That is 450 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 2: dangerous because that's the real assault on freedom of speech. 451 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 2: Not Kimmel and Colbert. These are just piffles, all right. 452 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 2: The real is censorship by the corporate media, and that 453 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,680 Speaker 2: I'm trying to expose it and people are trying to 454 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: figure it out. That's the real danger. 455 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,240 Speaker 1: You are remarkable on thus a reporter, a great historian, 456 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: a terrific writer, and a very inventive God.
