Bill O'Reilly Warns America Has Entered a New Age of Evil Not Seen Since the 1930s
Bill O'Reilly joins the show to discuss his new book Confronting Evil, which has become one of the top books in the country. O'Reilly argues that America and the world have entered a dangerous new era of evil reminiscent of the 1930s, driven by dictators like Putin and enabled by people who choose to look away. He connects international threats with domestic violence, arguing that judges, leaders, and citizens are allowing evil to flourish by refusing to confront it. O'Reilly insists that we've reached a breaking point where action must be taken before the situation deteriorates further into global conflict.
Bill O'Reilly, a familiar guest and constant resource, appeared on the show to discuss his latest work, Confronting Evil, which has become one of the top books in the country. The timing of the conversation proved particularly significant given the escalating global tensions and domestic crises facing America.
Entering a New Age of Evil
O'Reilly delivered a stark warning: "We are entering a new age of evil. The last age that we had was in the 1930s with the rise of the dictatorships all over the world. That led to 100 million people dead in World War II, the Holocaust, on and on."
He explained that he wrote Confronting Evil specifically to signal to people that this new era was coming. O'Reilly described the day of the conversation as particularly harrowing, noting that he woke up to news of Putin shooting missiles into Poland—an ultra-dangerous escalation. "Putin is as evil as they come. He's on the cover of Confronting Evil. My book, he is a psychopath who is looking to slaughter human beings. That's what he wants to do. You don't shoot missiles at a NATO member unless you're trying to offend the entire world in an evil way."
The Problem of Looking Away
O'Reilly began his research and writing about a year before the conversation, recognizing that things were deteriorating not only in the United States but worldwide. His central thesis, backed by facts throughout the book, is that too many people in the world and in America are looking away—allowing evil to gather power.
"We're looking away, and we're allowing evil to gather power," O'Reilly stated. "And you can just analyze it from every point of view."
Domestic Evil and Failed Justice
O'Reilly connected international threats to domestic failures, pointing to major urban centers where criminals aren't even charged. He highlighted the South Side of Chicago, where thousands of African Americans have been killed over a 20-year period while authorities look away and refuse to demand that it stop. When federal protection is offered, he noted, the government offering it gets attacked instead.
He also referenced a tragic case of a woman who was killed by a man who had been let out on the street by a judge who knew the man was dangerous. "The judge looked away when confronting the evil in front of her face. She had the power to restrain the man, to put the man in custody. She did not do it. And this happens thousands of times across this country. It didn't used to happen, but now it does."
A Breaking Point
"It is beyond belief and what it's going to come to is a breaking point," O'Reilly warned. "I think we're at the breaking point with Putin. This thing with this man has got to be tamped down soon or is it going to be World War III? That's how bad this evil man is. And if you have to break him with the banks, whatever President Trump and NATO has to do, do it now. It's not going to get any better."
O'Reilly concluded with a scathing indictment of modern society: "Too many Americans and people all over the world are so self-involved, so selfish, so weak, so afraid that they're allowing evil to grow at an exponential rate, a rate that is horrifying. And that's why I wrote Confronting Evil. And I back every single word I've just said."
