Martha listens to her favorite band all the time, in the car, gym, even sleeping. So when they finally went on tour, Martha bundled her flight and hotel on Expedia to see them live. She saved so much, she got her seat close enough to actually see and hear them sort of. You were made to scream from the front row. We were made to quietly save you. More Expedia made to travel savings vary and subject to availability. Flight inclusive packages are atoll protected. Bill O'Reilly here. And I'm warming up standby for the O'Reilly Update Morning Edition on it's Friday. How do you deal with madness? I hope in your life you never have to. But millions of people all over the world have family, friends that have psychological conditions. Very difficult to deal with that. And now we have a guy who could blow up the entire world who I believe is mentally ill. And that would be bad. Vlad Putin. So couple of weeks, my new book confronting Evil comes out and Putin's on a cover along with Ayatollah Khomeini, Mao, Hitler. And we learned a lot about all that. He is one evil kind of guy, but he's not stable. He's not thinking rationally. He once did. In fact, about eight years ago, Donald Trump could reason with him no longer. And Putin would, in my opinion, use nuclear weapons. He'd do it because I think he is certifiable. I can back it up a million different ways. When you read the book, you'll see how this guy operates. He doesn't care about human life at all. He's the richest man in the world, made all his money through gangster activities, flat out stone killer again. He has nuclear weapons. And I understand there was a point early in the Ukrainian war where Putin was ready to use him and he only backed away because China got wind of it and said, hey, Vlad, you use nukes, you're done. And he withdrew. I can't say that 100%, but I believe it is true. Hope you read my book. Back in a moment. Did you know that Fast Growing Trees is the biggest online nursery in the USA?
