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 Yaya, Tolah, 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 them 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. I'm Bill O'Reilly. I approve the message by writing it. You can reach me billorilly.com billorilly.com name in town if you wish to opine. Now let's go to the mail. Glenda Ireland has always been anti Israel. They sided with the Arabs in World War II. I know you're a historian, Bill. Correct me if I'm wrong. The Irish government and socialists in Ireland are anti Israel. Not the folks. Not the folks. They actually sympathize with the Jews because of the oppression from London on Ireland. No, it's a whole different cleave. Okay, let's go to Michael from central Florida. I'm loving my not woke bumper sticker. Looking forward to the arrival of Confronting Evil Good. I'm glad you Pre ordered on billoriley.com it's important. Prices have not gone down significantly for me in Florida. Gasoline vacillates between 270 and 320. A lot of it has to do with state taxes and things like that. But gas prices are not on the rise. I think that's fair to say. Alan I met people that hate Trump so much they don't want to see the war end. Yeah, and that's really disturbing. You know, somebody who'd rather people die than give Trump credit. Careful. Martha Collins, Henderson, Nevada. Confronting Evil coming on September 9th. Fitting. It's my late father's birthday. Like your dad, Bill, he confronted evil in World War II, serving in the Marines on Saipan and Iwo Jima. Thank you for keeping your father's legacy alive, Martha. We need to do that with the World War II vets. They did confront evil in both Pacific and Europe and they defeated it. Carol Concierge member Congratulations, Bill, on obtaining a movie deal for Confronting Evil. As a person who loves films, I pray 5th season holds tight to the purity of your writing. They have to.

Now the O'Reilly update brings you something you might not know. 56 years ago this week, half a million people descended on a dairy farm in upstate New York. For three days, a crowd enjoyed music, speeches, drugs, especially pot. Here's the story of Woodstock. The festival was planned as a peace demonstration at the height of the Vietnam War. The concert began August 15, 1969 on a 600 acre field 100 miles northwest of Manhattan. It was not in Woodstock, it was in Bethel. The roster of the concert included Credence Clearwater, Jimi Hendrix, the who, Grateful Dead, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane and others. Despite its pacifist origins, Woodstock was designed to make money. Tickets cost 18 bucks in advance, $75 today, $24 at the gate. 150,000 tickets were sold to the three day event, but 500,000 folks showed up. The crush caused a 20 mile long traffic jam. Artists like Joni Mitchell bailed because she just couldn't reach the venue. Fences were torn down, cars abandoned. Woodstock quickly became a quote, free concert for anyone who could make the trek to upstate New York. The event featured one of the most prolific lineups in history. The crowd sent a message to the world that Americans could come together to celebrate peace and music. On Monday morning, August 18, Jimi Hendrix performed the final song of the festival, his rendition of the national anthem. And here's something else you might not doubt. Though we're a long way from 1969, some of the acts that played Woodstock are still touring. Santana, John Fogarty, the who, Neil Young. All on the road this summer. Back after this.

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited Premium Wireless for $15 a month is back. So I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal. So there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try@mintmobile.com Switch upfront payment of $45 for three month plan equivalent to $15 per month required new customer offer for first three months only. Speed slow after 35 gigabytes of networks busy. Taxes and fees extra.
