"The book's cover features Vladimir Putin, a modern leader O'Reilly places squarely in that tradition. But as our conversation revealed, he also sees Trump's diplomatic strategy of welcoming Putin to the United States, not as appeasement or enabling someone he clearly sees as evil, but as part of a larger chessboard of global maneuvering. It was a window into how O'Reilly weighs moral clarity against realpolitik, and why he believes the public rarely sees the whole picture."
"He praised its original vision under Roger Ailes as inclusive and talent-driven, and contrasted that with what he sees today: a narrower, more Trump-centric channel shaped by management changes and audience demand. Not today what it was, he said flatly. He also took credit for and comedically teased Jesse Watters for effectively mimicking his original style. At the same time, O'Reilly acknowledged the rise of YouTube and other direct-to-audience platforms, which have given him a new stage and surprising reach."
Bill O'Reilly defines evil as a deliberate choice to make others suffer. He identifies Vladimir Putin as a modern example of that definition. He characterizes President Trump's welcoming of Putin to the United States as a strategic, realpolitik move rather than appeasement. He balances moral clarity with geopolitical maneuvering and asserts that the public rarely sees the full strategic picture. He portrays Fox News as changed from the inclusive, talent-driven network under Roger Ailes to a narrower, more Trump-focused channel shaped by management shifts and audience demand. He credits Jesse Watters for echoing his style and recognizes YouTube and direct-to-audience platforms for expanding reach while warning about irresponsible online voices.
