In a brief interview segment, Bill O'Reilly recounts a conversation he had with President Donald Trump aboard Air Force One while promoting his own book, The United States of Trump. O'Reilly tells Trump that Bob Woodward is receiving a $10 million advance from Simon & Schuster for a forthcoming book about Trump, and warns that Woodward’s independence means the book will not present Trump’s point of view. O'Reilly questions Trump’s belief that he can cooperate with Woodward, suggesting it would only give the journalist more ammunition. The segment ends with a brief segue mentioning O'Reilly’s new book, Killing Crazy Horse.

January, I'm on Air Force One and I'm interviewing President Trump for the United States of Trump, my book. I've known him 30 years, as you know. After the interview's over, he looks at me, he goes, Bob Woodward's writing a book on me. I went, oh, I said, his first book hammered you. He goes, but this time I'm going to cooperate with Woodward. I looked at him and I said, are you insane? I can talk that way to the president because I've known him for so long. I said, there's no way that Bob Woodward getting a $10 million advance from Simon Schuster is going to write your point of view. That's not going to happen. So you're just giving him more ammunition.
That's right. I'd hold it there. I want to remind everybody we're going to talk— I'm fascinated by the latest book of Bill O'Reilly, Killing Crazy Horse. We'll be back.
