I don't say I'm -- -- program.

Please welcome out driven program.

Fox news' the O'Reilly good morning -- -- Mr.

I'm in its -- first appearance here in his lavish studio very -- of those are rare honor.

Yeah I get on usually work in nominal program but now or on the little media thing for the netbook are just say last -- on Good Morning America this morning right did you say they're going to be on again.

Well they did two segments we do -- below beating about the current events in the 7 o'clock hour and then killing Lincoln in the 8 o'clock -- so they do asked about it more current yet and that was part of the deal.

At all.

When you go on -- -- like you're gonna view tomorrow right.

-- -- -- Yeah a day that's part of the deal they have did -- the book a little bit and then then we'll talk about whatever they want and what else won't won't really expect to talk about.

But tomorrow probably -- a long time.

What was your fight -- all time I fight with them all time but I'm hoping that they all walk off tomorrow so I get the whole hour just to plug the book a -- trying to figure out how I can enrage them.

So not just to walk out as what happened last -- would.

All five -- And then I'll just take hijacked the hour and plug the book for so -- you'll be on on.

Tomorrow night consultants -- -- General like I like him so -- I can -- he's very fast very witty.

And I I assume both Stewart and of the you'll wanna know about prison Obama and the Republicans and all that's it seemed like to -- -- man -- -- under new historical nail you know he's a very attractive.

Tell me about you know but -- tell me about toy like a model may Mitchell's obligation.

There have been sixteen.

The second.

Event 161000.

Books reasonable right.

And a and this is a -- that's right killing like.

But the reason that I wrote this book is because nobody read the -- the sixteenth house.

Are what are what are -- I report horrible what that I -- -- there are once I got name.

James Swanson.

Be a dead men -- and bird -- crimes and those are good books on program Barbara they are very written in -- in.

A history way.

-- -- I wrote this book so.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- And it's a thriller.

It's the last two weeks of Lincoln's life.

And the stuff that happened is amazing John Wilkes Booth almost got away with.

And the only reason He didn't was because Stanton who some believe -- was involved in a conspiracy to -- -- Bomb called this crazy detective in New York City Lafayette baker and brought him down -- DC to find growth.

If He hadn't done that -- would've gotten away arms or doodle there's home value was the Boe.

Which is not something you wanna and you tombstone with that but anyway the and this is of this is a book that you keep you up nights it's not and and I particularly eroded this time because we need leadership and American desperately.

And Abraham Lincoln is the gold standard for the presidency He used without a doubt the best present the country's ever.

There are thought was cool around and -- they reported crimes emails.

From corporates.

I haven't read the -- -- battling cancer time.

-- said an excuse.

That -- I'm going to try to -- -- there'll will be civil war let me just let me just -- one picture before you die you wanna read -- -- OK but what I've found fascinated.

Was that enough final -- -- service lines.

Avoid it was April 4 like there was toll on a fortune in front -- -- Do -- under an employment data my hat but I think you're correct okay and it is occurs you know I don't know.

-- thank you.

That they want to -- and actually sat and Jefferson davis' chair absolutely.

I was was a fascinating terminal one and linking and it was on the scene when grant was chasing Lee and we read about that.

He was in in DC He was down on a on a gun ship.

-- watching the final battles of the civil war.

Which were unbelievably -- by the way the bloodiest battle in the civil war was in Gettysburg it was a please -- sailor's creek.

Where people actually they ran an ammo and -- -- gouging each other's eyes out.

And that's a bad atlas but -- -- Lincoln suffered immensely for his country.

And you and you see that but He put his country above himself.

And that's we need today it's relevant to today because we just don't have the leadership in America right now that we need.

Derived -- you write.

That legendary is going to be a -- new.

And we prove it in the book Abraham Lincoln knew He was going to be killed yet He didn't even increases security which is one question I'd like to ask Lincoln if I ever get to -- -- He certainly is there.

Why did you do that.

Because she knew you're going to die He had a premonition dream which He related to his wife and -- people in -- White House is very very vivid.

And it in a correspondent almost perfectly to what happened to him.

Think always presence so.

Worried about -- after him.

Yeah I think it's Ambac and -- I'm a Secret Service is so good now they're so good -- you know.

It's it's a whole different ball game for prisons and it in back and -- -- time you could actually go to the White House and walk around.

You can walk around and if you saw a -- ahead mr.

-- and Mr.

President come over here I want this that that there are people that we're goats walking around a White House it was crazy.

That's what the time one.
