Summary

The king of "No Spin" and bestselling author of "Killing Crazy Horse," Bill O'Reilly, dishes with Glenn about his time at Fox News. He explains why he believes he got labeled as "being difficult to work with," what happened when he asked executives if he could moderate a presidential debate, and what the first words he ever said to Glenn were (hint: It was typical O'Reilly). He also reveals how he would've handled the Hunter Biden email story if he were the editor of the New York Post, gives his predictions for the final debate (if it even happens), and imagines what Donald Trump will do if he doesn't win a second term. "He ain't gonna get down to Dallas and paint," O'Reilly says. "He'll probably buy the L.A. Lakers and fire LeBron James!"

You know, I really hate when people say, this guy needs no introduction and then they go on and on and on.

0:05.0

Today's guest needs no introduction.

Bill O'Reilly.

0:21.0

Mr. Bill O'Reilly.

0:23.0

How are you, sir?

0:24.0

Where? Where is he? I want to get that guy.

0:28.0

I want to start here. I want to say that shockingly, you have this reputation of being a difficult to work with.

0:42.0

And I have to tell you, I never saw that and you and I mean this sincerely, Bill.

0:49.0

You were the nicest guy to me in all of television the entire time.

0:56.0

You didn't hide any agenda. You were plain spoken. You listened to me to try to understand what I was trying to accomplish.

1:04.0

You gave me great advice along the way and I really respect you.

1:09.0

Really respect you.

1:11.0

Well, thank you, back. I appreciate that.

1:14.0

The reason I have that reputation is a very interesting story.

1:18.0

And it applies to what we're seeing now in America with the corporate media.

1:24.0

I never had any problems with guys like you or my peers or anything like that because you do what you do and if I think that you're an honest person and I do in your case, why would I treat you poorly?

1:41.0

I mean, there's no reason. My problem was with people who were corrupting the communications process, the suits, who were trying to tell me what to say, who were killing stories that I might have done that were honest for a genders all day long.

2:00.0

It's exactly what's happening in America. I mean, you saw what happened to the New York Post breaking the Hunter Biden email story.

2:08.0

Well, NBC News, they gave it less than a minute. ABC News didn't cover it on Good Morning America. CBS News didn't cover it in three hours on the CBS Morning Show.

2:18.0

CNN didn't cover it in five hours in prime time and neither did NBC. Why? Because they were told not to.

2:26.0

So when somebody would tell me that I'd say, no, I'm going to do the honest thing. And therefore I was difficult.

2:33.0
