Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up.

Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

But first.

On this Friday, I look back to yesterday afternoon when I went to St. Patrick's Cathedral in New

York City where my parents were married to say a thank you prayer.

The New York Times announced its new bestseller list in my book, Killing the Killers is number

one.

That makes 18 number one bestsellers for us.

Back in the year 2000, I was struggling to even get a book published.

A very small company put my first one out, those who trespass.

The rest as they say is history.

But the book industry has changed drastically over the years because of smart phones.

The attention spans of Americans are shortening as minds consume the simplistic and often

dishonest social media.

Books are an afterthought for many of these days.

The secret to my success in all of media, not just book writing, is persistence and hard

work.

We fully realize a corporate media despises us and is constantly in attack mode.

So we parry by going directly to you the information consumer, thereby dancing around

the villains, our books, telecasts and radio spots are authentic and honest.

Millions of Americans apparently value that and I'm grateful to you and to God who blessed

me with some talent.
