All right, if it's Simple Man, if it's Leonard Skinner, if it's Wednesday, that means it's all things Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly at BillOReilly.com.
800-941-Sean is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
The New York Post, which is one of the two tabloids in New York, I still get the print edition because I grew up delivering newspapers and I just love it and I enjoy it and I read it.
But it's really a headline is, are these domestic terrorists?
And outrage as the FBI targets angry mobs, moms rather, after school board members liken parents complaining about mask mandates, critical race theory to domestic terrorists.
Well, now the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, said he will now see about getting the FBI involved.
It has sparked massive outrage.
We have a couple of clips here.
We'll start with Terry McCullough and his comments about parents being involved in their students' education.
Listen to this.
First of all, this shows how clueless Glenn Young is.
He doesn't understand what the laws were because he's never been involved here in helping Virginia.
But it was not.
The parents had to write to veto bills, veto books, Glenn, not to be knowledgeable, also take them off the shelves.
And I'm not going to let parents come into schools and actually take votes out and make their own decisions.
So you stop the bill that I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
You know, I get really tired of everybody running down teachers.
Okay, so parents can't be involved in their kids' education.
All right, now we bring in all things Bill O'Reilly, BillO'Reilly.com.
You know, Bill O'Reilly, you know, we spend more.
I'm going to give a little preamble and then I'm going to hand this off to you so you can really dissect it in only a way that you can, okay?
We pay all this money in education over almost 40 plus, we do pay over $40 plus thousand dollars per student in New York City, for example.
The second highest per capita spending per student is in Baltimore, Maryland.
There are 13 public schools where high schools where not a single child is proficient in reading and math.
Parents now see the values that they hold near and dear being contradicted when they send kids to school.
We're not teaching kids reading, writing, math, science.
We're not teaching them computers.
But now we get into all things woke, and parents have had it.
I don't blame them.
Your thoughts.
All right.
So this is a very fascinating story, number one.
And you've come to the right place, Hannity.
Me.
Of course I did.
All things Bill O'Reilly means all things.
There you go.
But you're a brilliant man because you've come.
Because they come to you.
I know.
Okay, first of all, this is an extension of the white supremacist accusation.
That's what this is.
So you remember, everyone will remember, that the progressive wing of the Democratic Party, which includes the president, Mr. Biden, they're warning Americas not about Al-Qaeda or ISIS and no, no, no, no.
The white supremacist terrorists who I'm not sure what zip code they're in, but apparently they are an overwhelming danger to every single one of us.
You remember that?
Made a big deal out of it.
Okay, so now Kerry McAuliffe, who's running for governor of Virginia, is going to lose that race because of the clip that you just ran.
So McAuliffe is basically telling Virginian parents, hey, knock it off.
You don't have a right to say anything to the school as far as education of your children are concerned.
You button it.
That's what McCobb said.
Now, that's going to lead to his defeat, in my opinion, my humble opinion.
Let me just pause you here.
Remember, this is a very, very, used to be a purple state.
Northern Virginia has gone very, very blue.
A lot of pop.
But I will tell you, the race is definitely in play.
And the big money is in the Democratic precincts.
Now, there was a brawl in Loudoun County, which is north of Washington, Virginia, at a school board meeting about critical race theory because Loudoun County has gone full woke and insane in what it's trying to impose on the public school students.
So there was a brawl, physical brawl.
So the progressives took that, the propagandists who, you know, control the corporate media, they took that and they said, you know what?
We can make this a bigger issue if we get Garland, the Attorney General, to get the FBI to investigate these local incidents of violence and then slap a terrorist label on them.
So you've got to remember something.
In a Loudoun County brawl, that's a local issue.
FBI has no jurisdiction there.
Federal government has no jurisdiction.
That is local.
All right.
Even the state police don't have jurisdiction.
The county itself adjudicates what happened there.
But the propagandists, they know most Americans don't understand this.
So they basically make an order to Garland, who is as pliable a man as you could find, to say, oh, man, we got to get the feds involved because this is going to lead to terrorism.
But a local beef, even if it's a fist fight, is controlled by the county or the town.
So all of this is distorted to make Americans think that once again, the white supremacists are undermining our society and they're corrupting our education and intimidating the teachers and the principals.
That's the big picture here.
The biggest fail we've ever seen is caused by this unholy alliance.
Teachers' unions that give big, big money every election season.
They take it from rank and file teachers.
They give it to Democrats.
And that has prevented the country from adopting the very wise and obvious answer for parents, which would be school choice, because parents would choose the schools that provide the quality education that their children, frankly, deserve.
We have failed our children miserably.
We pay more per capita.
We come in 37, 38, 40, 42nd, whatever, in terms of standardized testing.
Now, the other big question here, Bill, has to do with Merrick Garland himself, the Attorney General.
Now, if you noticed, he went after the state of Georgia on the issue of election laws.
Georgia has 17 days early in-person voting.
Delaware has none.
Georgia has drop boxes all over in every single precinct in Georgia.
Delaware has none.
Both require voter identification for people to vote absentee or in person.
So you tell me, why would Merrick Garland, if he's not politicized in the Department of Justice, why wouldn't he go after the state with voting restrictions like Delaware, Joe's state, because he never lifted a finger to change the voting laws in his state to make it more accessible instead of going after the state with far more accessibility?
Can you explain that?
Well, I can explain it because Garland is a puppet.
He does what he's told to do.
So, you know, there's an overarch that operates out of the White House in conjunction with the K-Street consultants that work with the Democratic Party that come up with this stuff.
And so they make a call to Garland and they say, look, you know, we can't have voter ID.
They don't want voter ID.
Democrats don't want it.
And so you attack.
Wait a minute, but a vaccine passport is okay.
Yeah, because whatever furthers the philosophy of the progressives, which ultimately is the federal government runs everything.
Everything.
Okay, that's what the $600 bank deposit thing is all about.
See, people need to just step back and say the overall philosophy from the progressives, and again, Biden is part of that, is that the federal government winds up running the economy, the schools, the cops, everything.
Because that's what happens in a socialist country.
So people need to understand that all of this stuff is tied in with that.
And Merrick Garland is just one of many who are going to carry out that plan.
And that's what he's doing.
My question is, all right, you've been watching.
They've not been able to get this $3.5 trillion monstrosity through.
Although I can see that the knees of Joe Mansion seem to be buckling.
He said he had a $1.5 trillion limit, and that was his compromise.
And we don't know where Kristen Sinema is, although it's outrageous how she's being treated by Democratic socialists.
There's a huge pressure campaign on Manchin and Cinema to fold.
Now they're talking about going for the nuclear option and abandoning any filibuster opportunities for the opposition party, which would not surprise me.
But they're not getting it through.
And more and more the polls show the American people, as they discover what's in it, don't like it, Bill.
They want lower taxes.
They want less government involvement.
Depends how you word the question.
So where does this end up?
Right.
Okay, so here's what's going to happen.
You ready for the O'Reilly prediction of the day on the Hannity radio program?
Are you ready?
Word of the day, prediction of that.
Go ahead.
Give us the prediction of the day.
Yeah.
$2 trillion reconciliation bill, which has nothing to do with reconciliation.
It's a spending bill.
It's a new Green Deal socialism bill, isn't it?
Yeah.
So cinema and Manchin will go for that.
Okay?
And all the Republicans will vote against it.
And those two will vote for it.
And then Kamala will break the tie.
So Biden will get $2 trillion to waste on this grand socialist plan.
And about 80% of it will be wasted.
And then taxes will go up and the economy will go down.
But, you know, he's got, Biden's got 13 months.
That's it.
And the midterms, if it keeps going this way, and I can't imagine it won't, because they don't do anything to solve any problem in the country, the Biden administration, nothing.
So it'll be an overwhelming rejection of Biden in the midterms.
And then he's done for two years.
He can't get anything done at all except executive orders, which will be challenged in the courts, and the Supreme Court will overturn those.
When I made the prediction that this would be the most radical and extreme administration in history, and we saw this with the Biden-Bernie Manifesto, we watched the emergence and the rise of the squad.
And it's why I came out of hiding after 10 years, and I wrote my first book in 10 years, Live Free or Die, America and the World on the Brink.
I didn't think I'd be this right, Mr. O'Reilly, but here's the problem.
Here's where my mind is going now.
Now, the damage is going to be so deep and so profound, it will be so difficult to clean this mess up.
Everything from Afghanistan, our allies around the world, our enemies around the world.
Taiwan, by the way, will be taken over by the communist Chinese.
That's happening.
Joe won't lift a finger to stop it.
He's not even lifting a finger to rescue Americans.
He abandoned.
And then the border and something of great value, hoping, I guess, that if we give you this and you don't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty, hopefully you'll always vote Democrat.
And I'm for legal immigration, as you and I discussed last week.
And then the economy, and then inflation, and begging OPEC to produce more oil because our energy prices are soaring rather than asking Oklahoma, Texas, North Dakota, and Alaska.
I don't know, Bill, I don't see any upside here.
Well, it's going to be damaging, but it's not irreparable.
And I gave you a compliment last week, and I can't do that again today because I had to go to the emergency room after and get my stomach pumped.
But I said, of all the pundits in the country, you know, you were the most specific on how the Biden administration, if elected, was going to harm the country.
And all that has come true.
Well, listen, I would say I was right about a lot of things in my career.
And so, by the way, and to your credit, so have you been.
I was right about Obama being pretty radical.
He was, having radical associations.
He's nothing compared to Joe Biden, though, interestingly.
Right about the Russia collusion hoax.
I was right that Donald Trump, if elected, would govern as a conservative.
He did.
You know how many people, conservatives, were beating the hell out of me over me standing, putting all my conservative credentials on the line and saying, no, he's going to govern as a conservative.
Nobody believed me.
I think I was proven right, don't you?
Yeah, I do.
And, you know, I've been right more than you over the last 25 years.
I have a big giant chart, Hannity and O'Reilly, who's been right more.
And I'm beating the hell out of you.
But, you know, lately, lately.
You're going to make me call you a name, and I'm trying to be nice to you for crying out loud.
You can't do that.
That'll ruin your reputation if you're nice to me.
Come on.
Yeah, that's true.
Even having you on ruins my reputation.
Let's be honest.
Unbelievable.
By the way, that's like half the guests we have on ruins my reputation.
I don't even have a reputation myself.
So what am I talking about?
All right, Bill O'Reilly.
All things, O'Reilly.
BillO'Reilly.com, 800-941-Sean, our number.
You want to be a part of the program?
We'll take a quick break.
We'll get to your calls next as we continue.
He's no show Joe.
No kidding.
Have a problem.
Stayed in trouble.
No power.
No water.
No heat.
No Joe.
Yep.
He's too busy taking a nap.
It's a sad state of affairs.
Sean Hannity.
It's taken me 47 years to perfect doing nothing.
I had to become president to show you I could do that better than anybody.
Joe Biden, the most dangerous man in America.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
25 till the top of the hour, toll-free.
It's 800-941-Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
Let's go to New Jersey.
Pete is standing by.
Pete, welcome aboard.
Glad you're with us, sir.
Thanks for being with us.
Hey, Sean, it's a privilege to speak to you.
What I really admire about you is your empathy for the grandmas and moms in Chicago.
And I'm going to couple that with the $87 billion loss to unemployment insurance and the relocation of Afghan refugees and migrants.
And then say, hey, why not spend that money on those families that deserve a better opportunity at life and moving them to a safer neighborhood instead of wasting the money or spending it on Afghanis?
Well, look, we can walk and chew gum at the same time.
For example, we've got to secure our borders.
We don't know anything about most of the people that are coming into this country.
There's no vetting going on.
They're not even doing a health check in the middle of a pandemic.
I mean, you get special treatment.
If you don't respect our law, our laws, our sovereignty, and our borders, you get special treatment.
You don't get a COVID test.
You don't get a vaccine mandate.
No, what do you get?
You get a ticket to whatever state you want to go to.
And even if you don't have the financial means of taking care of yourself, well, Joe Biden will insist that the mayors and governors and towns and cities across the country, the taxpayers, put the bill for that.
Now, when you're dealing with millions of people, the price tag goes very high.
As I've pointed out many times, there are many countries around the globe that charge massive amounts of money, in some cases, millions and millions of dollars, and you can buy citizenship into that country.
It is something of great, great value.
I'm not against immigration.
I'm for legal immigration.
And I don't really care where you come from.
Just do it legally.
Let us do a background check, a health check, and you've got to prove to us that you're going to be able to take care of yourself financially so you won't be a burden on the American people.
Then, wherever you're from, welcome to the country.
At that point, we will be doing our due diligence like every other country does, and we don't do.
And, you know, Democrats now trying to force amnesty into every reconciliation bill tells me that, well, they know that this is, if we've sold citizenships to America, how much do you think they'd go for?
How much do you think we could get?
Thousands, tens of thousands.
Thousands?
No.
I think we can get millions.
Cyprus, 2.5 million.
Australia, New Zealand, investment in the millions.
You know, there are some countries that, you know, what they call tax haven places where, you know, Antigua, 134 grand, you can get a passport.
Belize, St. Kitts, Nevis, there's a bunch of them.
But they charge money for those passports.
In America, you don't have to respect our laws and our sovereignty.
Now, if you were able to pick and choose which laws you want to obey and not obey, I could promise you it's not going to end out up well for you, Pete, in New Jersey.
I promise you.
Well, my point was that there's these minority families in Chicago.
Imagine giving them an opportunity at a much better life and a better future.
You know, I know you've had these grandmas on, and it breaks my heart too when I hear them crying over a four-year-old or a six-year-old or 11-year-old whose life was cut short.
Spend that money on them instead of on the migrants and the other Afghanis were getting relocated.
That would be called American First Policies.
And you're right.
And I've done this since 2009.
I think I'm the only host to keep scrolling the names of all of the people that are shot and shot and killed and all of the law enforcement people killed in action in the country.
And we don't hear about these people's names.
There are fellow Americans that are getting slaughtered every weekend.
I mean, all right, so today's what, Wednesday?
I could probably make a fairly accurate prediction how many people are going to be shot and shot and killed in Chicago, New York this weekend.
And they're not lifting a finger and they haven't lifted a finger for, you know, since 2008 and 2009 to do a thing to keep the city safe and secure.
When Rudy Giuliani became mayor in New York, they called him a racist every day.
But, you know, because, oh, you're putting cops in neighborhoods where high crime areas are, and sometimes that's a minority community.
Well, that would mean that lives were being saved.
Our fellow human beings were being saved.
And that good policing works.
We do know how to do these things.
We do know how to educate our kids.
We do know how to maintain law and order if we want.
We know how to control our borders.
Donald Trump did it.
We know how to be energy independent.
Donald Trump did it.
We know how to negotiate better trade deals.
Donald Trump did that.
We do know how to cut taxes too and lower the bureaucracy.
And we showed that that worked also.
And the people that benefited the most were minorities in America.
Every demographic group benefited from Trump's economic policies.
Anyway, we got a long way to go as a country.
Tim in West Virginia.
Tim, how are you feeling about Joe Manchin these days?
Well, you know, it's hard to say, Sean.
It's great to talk to you, but I really don't know about Joe Manchin.
He took up for China for a while.
And, you know, he did all these things for China, but he hasn't come out strong against, you know, the virus coming out of China.
So you haven't heard very much from him on that.
Well, it's just interesting.
I mean, I'm sensing the beginning of the cave is emerging, and I hope I'm wrong.
I hope I'm wrong.
Anyway, what else is on your mind?
Well, about the, you know, the biometrics that we left behind in Afghanistan.
Yes, sir.
And all the equipment and all that that we left.
Did we also leave the biometrics for our soldiers?
You know, we probably left computer systems and things like that that may have had a lot of things.
I would imagine the answer is yes.
I'm not sure if we used biometrics for our soldiers.
We might have for purposes of identifying them if God forbid something happened.
But I would assume also that there would be dental records.
And I don't know.
I don't know the answer to that.
If, in fact, they took biometrics of our soldiers, they would have that too.
Yes, because we left the data behind of all of our Afghan partners and allies, including biometrics in that case.
And hopefully they didn't have their home addresses for, you know, back in the States.
It wouldn't surprise me if they had that information too.
Listen, I've had fatwas on my head over the years.
I could tell you the funniest story, but I won't regarding it.
But I've had fatwas in my life, too.
Well, exactly what you was just talking about, the immigration.
You know, everybody wants, you know, us to have, you know, legal immigration.
But look at how many people are coming across the border illegally that they haven't caught.
And, you know, the al-Qaeda and all that coming across the border, who knows what havoc they're going to cause.
So that's why my biggest question was the biometrics.
Is it, I feel bad about the Afghanis over there, but how much of it is going to come to the homeland also?
Oh, I agree with you as well.
It could, look, Afghanistan now is once again a safe haven for terrorism.
They will plot, plan, and scheme the next 9-11.
I worry by not vetting people that were just jumping on airplanes and that are free to roam all around the country right now with, and we've not done background checks on them.
I've got to wonder whether or not some of these radicals infiltrated the population of people coming into America.
In other words, and then it would become a cell inside America, terrorist cell inside our own country.
I worry that with open borders as they are, and we're catching people from all over the world, if terrorist cells aren't crossing that border as well, because America has enemies.
All of that is potentially real.
Anyway, thanks, Tim.
Appreciate the call, my friend.
All right, quick break right back to the phones, 800-941-Sean on number as we continue.
When news break news breaks, you'll hear the inside story that no one else has.
The behind-the-scenes chatter that the mainstream media doesn't even know about.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Busy telephones.
Karen is in Michigan.
Karen, hi.
How are you?
Glad you called.
I am doing just fine.
And I wish Whitmer would go back on the plane with Biden when he comes to visit.
Hey, just so Bill doesn't have to get his stomach pumped again, I want to let you know you two are pretty equal.
You're pretty equal.
Not in his mind.
There's no equality in his head, trust me.
Well, I know, but we're on the phone now, not him.
Listen, my ego is not bruised.
I can promise you.
I've been doing this too long to really give a rip what anybody thinks about me.
You know who I care to think of what people think about me?
People like you, Karen.
I want to do a good show with news information in a fun and entertaining way so that you're not going to get anywhere else.
That's what we try to do every day.
Yep.
And you do.
And I greatly appreciate it.
And the great words of Bugs Bunny, Biden is a maroon.
And by the way, Garland is extremely dangerous for America.
He's even more dangerous now than he would have been, I think, on the court.
You know, I was talking, I don't remember what host I was talking to, just about the policies that he can pass down.
And I'm calling specifically about the letter from the school board to the Department of Justice.
So just quick background.
I've been homeschooling my kids for four years, but I'm also a substitute teacher.
So I do it for half days and take care of my kids.
And I just do it randomly.
So I attend the school board meetings.
And I've not seen one parent throw a punch.
We have been very, very passionate.
But to my recollection, I have never burned down a business.
I've never thrown a brick at police.
I've never stormed the Capitol and gone places where we're not allowed to go.
And I've never, you know, chased somebody into a bathroom, never chased them on their boat by rafting or canoeing.
And I've not incited that type of violence against somebody.
But what I've done is stand up for my kids and the kids in our community.
Well, I don't think anybody said it as articulately.
We made some of the same points earlier in the program.
It is fascinating that this is where their mindset is.
You know, I understand that they have their foregone conclusion, you know, predetermined outcome, January 6th commission.
But if they really cared about rioting, why aren't they investigating the rioting in 2020 in the summer, as you describe it, where thousands of officers were injured and dozens of Americans were killed and billions of dollars in damage done to American businesses?
Why don't we have a commission there?
And if you're going to have a commission, why did you kick off Jim Jordan and Jim Banks?
This is not a real commission.
You know what it is?
It is utter hypocrisy.
They didn't open their mouths once, most of them, the Democrats, about the rioting in 2020.
And Kamala Harris is promoting bail funds to get rioters out of jail faster after they burn down a police precinct.
I mean, it's unconscionable to me.
Support the parents in the school districts.
The idea that McCullough and anybody else thinks that parents don't have a right to control their kids' education.
We're not in China yet.
We're not in Russia yet.
And to call on the Patriot Act to go against these parents.
And I'll tell you one final thing that scared me the most out of some of the meetings I've been to is a 15-year-old who stood up and he was sitting with his parents very obediently, hands in lap, and he yelled at the parents for having such a spirited debate.
And he said, you guys need to sit down and listen to these people because they're in charge, meaning the school board.
He goes, if anybody had ever taken a government class, you would know they're in charge.
If you don't like it, vote them out.
That's your only recourse.
And we went back to him about, you know, being able to have a redress of grievances.
Whereas, where did you learn that in your government classes?
That response from that kid.
So when the school boards say that they're not teaching CRT and they're not dissing our history and our family units and our government, they're doing it all day long.
Otherwise, that kid would not have been so misguided with his indoctrination.
I got to tell you, the idea that they don't want parents to have a say in this is madness.
The level of failure, on average, there are exceptions, plenty of them, around the country, usually in school districts where, I mean, this is where money comes into play, although not in a place like New York City.
I mean, they're spending over 40 some odd grand per child for a year's public school with the worst results.
I mean, you cannot, they have institutionalized failure and they want no input from the parents.
Let's go to Terry McCullough and his comments.
I mean, the idea that parents shouldn't have a say in their kids' education.
This shows how clueless Glenn Youngkin is.
He doesn't understand what the laws were because he's never been involved here in helping Virginia.
But it was not.
The parents had to write to veto bills, veto books, Glenn, not to be knowledgeable, also take them off the shelves.
And I'm not going to let parents come into schools and actually take books out and make their own decisions.
So you stop the bill that I don't think parents should be telling schools what they should teach.
You know, I get really tired of everybody running down teachers.
Unbelievable.
Now, why don't we just, I guess, hand our kids over to the government and let them raise them.
That sounds like what they want.
Precinct for lowering the age for even daycare, right?
And kindergarten and preschool and things like this, get parents out of it.
