Bill O'Reilly here and I'm warming up. Stand by for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition.

On this Monday, did you see the 60 Minutes interview with Donald Trump on Sunday night?

Not much new there. I didn't learn anything, but I'm kind of jaded being in the journalism business for 50 years.

So in my opinion, Nora O'Donnell, the CBS correspondent, asked predictable questions, which

Mr. Trump swatted away like annoying bugs.

Very little research behind Ms. O'Donnell's line of inquiry.

The government shut down. It's Trump's

fault. ICE overdoes it. People will suffer if Obamacare is not extended. The usual liberal media stuff.

For his part, the president relied on well-worn answers because the questions were predictable. He knew they were coming.

He didn't break a sweat.

The way you have to interview Donald Trump and most other presidents is to set up specific

situations.

Example, when I asked Mr. Trump about how he would deal with a killer like Putin.

You have to keep the questioning short and provocative, fact-based.

Like how do you know the boats the U.S. are blowing up in the Caribbean and Pacific are a drug

involved?

Ms. O'Donnell is a true believer in the liberal cause.

I know her.

She's not corrupt, like many of her network peers, but she doesn't think outside the establishment box.

That was obvious Sunday night.

If you learn something, let me know.
