The Takeout, hosted by CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett, is a never-take-yourself-too-seriously daily show that harnesses the best and latest reporting from CBS News. Its motto: relentlessly curious, steadfastly non-ideological. Featuring unique guest interviews, investigative journalism and the day’s biggest events, The Takeout will also simplify and explain the complexities and acronyms of official Washington. The show is driven by national politics but lives comfortably in deep discussions of economics, pop culture, sports and technology.

Major speaks with conservative commentator Bill O'Reilly about his latest novel, "Confronting Evil," which details how individuals in the US and authoritarian leaders abroad took advantage of groups of people to solidify their power. O'Reilly and his co-author Josh Hammer, delves into men like Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin, as well as lesser known people include Nathan Bedford Forrest, who was the architect behind the Ku Klux Klan.
