This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, that's Leonard Skynyrd, simple man.
That can only mean one thing.
All things BillO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Before we get started, Mr. O'Reilly, sir, great to have you back.
So I'm reading something, I guess it was over the weekend, and you've got this four-city tour with Donald Trump.
I noticed that he sold like 28,000 tickets already, and it's only four events.
Is that true?
Yep.
Yeah, we're doing very well in Fort Lauderdale at the FLA Live Arena in Sunrise, and then in Orlando, excuse me, at the Amway Center, Houston the next weekend at Toyota Center, and then we wrap it up in Dallas on the 19th of December in the American Airlines Arena.
And I'm sure Mark Cuban's going to be in the front row for that, don't you think?
Well, I would assume the front row's already sold out because that's usually the first row to go.
Now, I actually have a reason for this.
So you're doing four city tours.
What did you say?
You're doing Dallas as your last stop.
What are the other three cities?
Houston, Orlando, Florida, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
All right, that's going to be fun.
I actually might hang out with you guys and go down there one day.
Maybe you'll let me introduce you something.
Wow, that would be a manual guest.
No, I'm not going to get in on your parade.
But here's my question.
So I'm reading this, and we have a fun relationship.
We have fun on the air sometimes, and we talk about the serious issues as well.
But I'm thinking, this is not the life of a simple man.
He's doing an arena tour.
He's doing an arena tour with the former president of the United States of America, and he'll claim he's a simple man.
That is not the life of a simple man.
And by the way, if people want tickets, you can go to billoreilly.com.
I highly recommend people going because Bill is actually giving me insight.
This is going to be a very different interview of Donald Trump.
And I liked your idea.
At first, I didn't like the idea.
I told you that.
Now, since you've explained it to me, I like the idea because this is going to be very different.
So, you know, people can go to billorilly.com for that.
But you can't convince me that doing arena tours with the president of the United States, that would be like me touring with the Rolling Stones for crying out loud.
It wouldn't be a simple life.
This is a complicated show with President Trump because it's all history.
It's not about him running for president or the election.
It's all about this happened on your watch.
How did it happen?
I'll give you an example.
I'm going to ask him a lot about Putin.
I want to know what the conversations were, what his assessment was, whether they were really getting along or whether, you know, that kind of thing.
The vax.
How did you get the vax?
How much did you have to pay?
Was it hard?
Who was the front man?
It's all history.
So it isn't an easy program, but it's a once-in-a-lifetime for me as a journalist interviewing Donald Trump.
Okay, now you've just made my point.
That is not the life of a simple man, is it?
But there's a difference between my soul, Hannity, which is the essence of simplicity.
We're going to get into the dark side of the Bill O'Reilly.
My soul is the essence of simplicity and my profession.
And if I can pull this off, and it's all on me, if I can get the history of the four years of President Trump in the Oval Office, if I can get that on the record, it will be probably my best achievement in my career.
We're going to shoot it all.
It's all going to be on video, and it's going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me.
And let me ask you this, because the David Frost Richard Nixon interviews were historic.
They made history in and of themselves.
And interestingly, a guy that was not very verbose, word of the day, Mr. O'Reilly, President Nixon, actually really opened up in that interview series that they had.
And he said a lot of things he had not said before.
Here's an interesting thing that I don't even think you knew.
So I took over for David Frost on the syndicated program Inside Edition.
So there we go.
Now I'm back to my original premise.
You're not describing the life of a simple man.
But I had a lot of conversations with Frost, and the reason he didn't make it on American TV, he just didn't grasp who the folks were watching.
And then after three weeks, they sacked him and sent him back to London.
And I got that.
Well, I'm very intrigued by this, but I stand by my premise.
But, you know, we're going to move on to some other issues because we have some important issues of the day.
But anyway, I think I'm going to try to go to one of the shows.
Let me guess.
You're going to probably charge me double, right?
No, no, I'm going to comp you, but you're going to introduce me and you have to read exactly what I write.
I'm not agreeing to that under any circumstances.
All right.
So, Mr. O'Reilly, moving on to the issues of the day, the economy, look at inflation 30-year high.
I mean, it's out of control, Bill.
Look at the cost of energy.
Everything we buy, we now pay more for.
You know what the big thing is?
Christmas.
So Reuters reports today that an anonymous source, and I don't have much use for Reuters, but they said that they talked to a high-ranking White House official, and the official said that the Biden administration is very worried that Americans are not going to be able to get the gifts they want for Christmas.
That's correct.
If that happens, that's the end of the Biden administration.
Because what people have to understand, you know, your audience, my audience, the people who watch and listen to us are engaged and they want to know about their country.
They're involved with their country.
But 50% of us are not.
50% of the American people don't know what the deuce is going on.
They never watch news.
They don't read a newspaper.
They are total blanks.
But once you deny them something important, and there's nothing more important than Christmas in America, once you deny them that, once they start to order stuff and it comes back, we don't have it.
You can't get it.
They walk into the store.
The shelves have very few stuff on it.
And everything's going to cost a lot more than it did last year.
Biden's going to get blamed.
You know why?
Because it's Biden's fault.
That's what I'm saying.
Just like, look, you're exactly right.
The worst decision Joe Biden made was on his first day in office, and that is that he ended America's energy independence and he stopped the Keystone XL pipeline.
He followed it up by ending exploration in Alaska and Anwar.
Then, of course, he gives Putin a pipeline.
But think about this.
Inflation now, the worst in 30 years.
We had bad news again today, consumer prices rising more than expected as energy costs surge.
Now, people are already seeing it because we all fill up our gas tank.
I know you probably have somebody fill up yours.
I like to fill up my own gas tank.
Okay.
So you fill it up, but we're paying 35 bucks more per tank full.
Yeah.
Then it's more to heat and cool our homes.
And every product we buy, I don't care if it's the drugstore or your local supermarket.
You have people that do that for you.
I do my own supermarket shopping.
I'm a simple man.
But seriously, or you go to Home Depot, a Lowe's, wherever you go, it all gets there by a truck.
And diesel fuel prices are through the roof.
And all of those costs are now passed on to we, the consumer.
And now people are really feeling it.
And then you got the supply chain problems we have on top of it.
And I'll add one other thing and let you take it.
Then you add the vax mandate, which is now forcing servicemen and women, police officers, teachers, drivers, bus drivers even, nurses.
They're getting fired, Bill, because they're not going along with the mandate.
Now, to me, this is madness.
And it's only going to get worse.
The supply chain thing is partially because there aren't enough people to drive the trucks.
And the reason for that is, again, right at Joe Biden's doorstep in the Democratic Party, who are sending Americans so much money that a lot of these people go, I'm not going to bother getting a job.
It's hard to be a truck driver.
I know you probably did it.
You've had every blue car job in the world, but it's hard.
And there are a lot of people who go, you know, I'm getting a lot of money from the federal government.
They're sending me checks.
And then I can do a gig economy.
I can work off the books someplace.
And that's what's happening.
So the trucking firms don't have enough drivers.
When you don't have enough drivers, you can't move the stuff fast.
In addition to what you just pointed out, they're paying 40% more for fuel than they did under the Trump administration.
So all of this perfect storm of economic chaos is going to hit around December 25th.
And then you have the midterms next year.
And then you have right after the midterms, the presidential race starts.
And I'm going actually down to Mar-a-Ladago tomorrow to interview Donald Trump.
And that'll be seen on the NoSpin news on Monday.
And I told you I'm going to send you some clips of that.
You feel free to use them any way you want.
That interview is going to be about his political future tomorrow, unlike the history tour, which is not going to have anything to do with the run.
I'm going to give you half the answer because I've been prying a lot myself in my interviews with him.
Because of campaign finance laws, he can't declare.
I know that.
And I'm not going to ask him that.
I'm just going to do, well, I'll just give you the headline question.
If you do run, are you going to change your style somewhat?
Are you going to make any modifications?
I had a similar question, but there's definitely a lot.
That is the one thing I get asked the most about.
I love his policies.
Why does he have to fight so much?
Why is he fighting?
He's going to get heavy into that.
I think that's a great line of questioning.
Yeah, and we'll see.
You know, look, this interview is a new straight news.
And Trump has a huge advantage because the Biden administration has fallen apart.
And it absolutely is falling apart.
That's not hyperbola, and it's not a political statement.
If you at this point in history don't understand that the Biden administration has gotten off to the worst start of any president with the possible exception of Herbert Hoover in 1929 when the economy collapsed.
Bill, it's Afghanistan abandoning America.
It's the borders.
It's inflation.
It's the economy.
It's COVID.
It's Taiwan and China.
It's energy prices, soaring supply chain issues, inflation, the worst in 30 years.
Bill, this is not anything you can fix, but every one of those issues was preventable.
We could have prevented all of them.
I wrote a comment on billoreilly.com.
It's called Eyes Wide Shut.
And last week, Biden went to Chicago to pump up the vax, okay?
And he didn't mention.
He did not even mention the horrendous murder rate among African Americans in Chicago.
He did not even mention it.
He was there with Lightfoot, the mayor, with Pritzker, the governor, neither of whom know anything.
And that is a holocaust there.
It is African Americans being shot every single day in that city, and nobody does anything about it.
He doesn't mention it.
And so I wrote a whole column on it, and that's why I called it Eyes Wide Shut.
The man is incapable of analyzing a problem, much less finding a solution to it.
All right, quick break.
More with all things simple man Bill O'Reilly on the other side, billorilly.com for all things O'Reilly.
Then your call is 800-941-Sean as we continue.
America listens to Sean Hannity, and he's on.
We continue with the simple man himself, Bill O'Reilly.
You know, this is going to be, I think, one of the most interesting times in American history because, you know, you could even make an argument, Bill, and tell me if I'm wrong, that if Donald Trump just played golf all day, would only show up at the debates, he'd push the America first, make America great again agenda, do a few rallies in the key cities and states that he needs to do them, not engage in anything else involving the media, that Joe Biden is pretty much handing him the keys back to the White House.
It's almost the reverse of 2020.
Exactly.
Because Biden didn't do any campaigning.
He just said, you vote for or against Trump, and I think I'll get more against.
And that's how it turned out.
Now, but Trump's not that kind of guy.
Trump will be, you know, he's got more energy.
What is he, 78 now?
No, no, no.
I think he's 74-ish.
But let me, there's one other thing here.
And this is where I've got to decide whether I want to go to your first show or your last show.
The first show is going to have its own level of anticipation.
Because you're in Florida.
Because you want to hang out at Disney and you want to go on Space Mountain and Splash Mountain with me?
We'll get you.
Oh, that's right, Fort Lauderdale.
I have friends down there.
As a matter of fact.
You have friends, Hannity?
Yes, I have a couple, not many.
All right, last thing.
So you're going to be with President Trump.
There's not a lot of tickets left, I assume, now.
We have, because the arenas are so big, there's good seats available.
December 11th, Lauderdale.
December 12th, Orlando.
December 18th, Houston.
And the 19th, Dallas.
This is the life of a very simple man.
Every man gets to go on tour with a former president of the United States.
Very simple, very basic, fundamental.
Happens to everybody.
All things Bill O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
Sir, thank you for being with us.
We appreciate it.
All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, so we've got the We got all of these economic problems now that are impacting all of us and we're paying more for everything.
Then you've got the inability to get simple, basic, fundamental items.
They can't build cars because they can't get specific parts to build the cars.
I mean, this has now become a huge, huge problem in the country.
And it's going to impact all of us and it's only going to get worse.
I don't see it getting better.
Supply chain, it's an absolute mess.
And now it's about to get worse for one other reason.
And that is that you have all of these people.
Now, I'm not going to give you my whole speech on COVID.
I've given it so many times.
Take it seriously.
Talk to your doctor.
Look at your own medical history, condition.
Talk to your doctor.
Please talk to your doctor, right?
I believe in the science of, I believe in science, the science of vaccination, but I'm not your doctor.
I'm not telling anybody what to do.
Nor am I telling anybody I believe in medical privacy, my conditions either.
Nobody really wants to hear me whine and complain and let me tell you about my hurt knee.
Nobody wants to hear it.
Anyway, now we have a problem because people in the military in massive numbers, healthcare workers, these are the nurses and health care frontline workers, emergency staff members that were diving on COVID bombs every day when they walked into their place of work to save lives.
They're now getting fired by the hundreds, in some cases, thousands.
Police officers, same thing.
Teachers, same thing.
Drivers, same thing.
Firefighters, EMT, same emergency medical people, same thing.
They're all now saying, nope, you're not going to make me.
Now, again, everyone knows where I stand on this, and that is please take it seriously and talk to your doctor.
That's what it comes down to.
But I assume these people have done that and they have made their decision.
Now, we were told originally, just like mask isn't going to work.
Fauci told us in March of 2020.
We were told that if we got vaccinated, then, or other people would argue, if you had natural immunity, antibodies, et cetera, that you're protected.
And, you know, even the studies that show this, this study in Israel, for example, Robert Malone, the creator of the technology for the mRNA vaccines, that's the Pfizer Moderna vaccines.
Even he said, yeah, natural immunity is better than getting vaccinated.
He created the whole technology.
He's a smart guy.
But anyway, so now what's going to happen to the economy then?
Listen to this.
We were forced to take the shot or resign.
That was our choice.
And what did you choose?
I chose to get the COVID shot because I need my job.
I'm not taking that vaccine.
It's more like it's either a paycheck or my rights.
Well, when we received an email saying that you're going to have a vaccine by a certain date or face discipline up to including termination, I took it as a threat and because I don't plan to be vaccinated.
And I decided to turn in my badge so I can speak up because others can't for fear of losing their job.
By the close of business today, get vaccinated or we had they put us on leave on Monday morning without pay.
We're not entitled to unemployment and we can't work anywhere else.
I'm put in a position where I have to think about, you know, Do I take this shot and go to work and be with the children that I love and physically and financially be able to help take care of my family?
Or do I not do it and financially not be able to take care of my family?
I will not quit.
And if it comes down to it, they're going to have to look me in the eye and fire me.
To use that leverage against me to put something in my body that I don't want.
It's not, this is not.
Right.
What do you say to those folks who feel like, you know what?
If you don't want to get the vaccine, sorry, you got to go.
The governor says that.
It hurts.
I love this job, man.
I love this job.
I just want to keep doing it.
You're walking away from a lot of money and a lot of security for you and your family.
Tell us why.
Yeah, that's correct, Sean.
I've spent 18 years active duty service.
I've got two years until I'm eligible to pull my retirement.
But and I don't want the COVID vaccine and I don't plan on getting it.
But this is really about the freedom of the American people, the right to choose your own medical procedures, the right to decide what's going to be injected into your body and what's not.
Those are, that's a natural human right that we can't take away from people.
Now, there are many people out there.
I love that we get lectured by, let's see, politicians and Dr. Fauci and radio and TV hosts.
And you shouldn't even get medical care if you didn't get the shot, if you didn't follow the one-size-fits-all medicine.
I mean, I am stunned that how many people now are coming out with comments like Fauci, oh, the hell with your freedom.
The greater good is more important.
And if that means we're going to, what?
We're going to tie you down and put the jab in you.
Listen.
The common enemy is the virus.
There shouldn't be the divisiveness that we're seeing.
We're trying our best to convince people, but you reach a certain point where you almost hit a wall that you're not going to get to a certain group of people.
And that's where mandates come in.
I mean, no one likes to mandate people to do things that they may not want to do.
But sometimes for the greater good of society, you have to do that.
You know, the same thing like seatbelts and things like that that we do.
You have to do it.
You have to do it.
So all of these people now add everything to the economy that's going on here and the supply chain issues and a 30-year high for inflation.
And now even one federal official jumping ship on Biden's transitory inflation.
The current episode of inflation could persist perhaps well into 2022 or beyond.
That was now a federal, a senior Fed Reserve official saying that today.
What is this going to do?
Think of the dilemma.
Now, my understanding is of all the people that we've interviewed, all the doctors that we've interviewed.
And again, I'm urging you to take this damn thing seriously.
I know too many people that died.
I've seen the worst of it.
It's not pretty.
I know people that survive ventilators and I know people that I had friends die on a ventilator.
So, but you got to make the decision with your doctor based on your unique medical history, current medical condition, et cetera.
Now, they're not even giving people the option of getting tested every day or once a week.
That should be a guarantee.
All right.
You want to test everybody every day and you want to take time out of their workday and test them.
Go ahead.
You pay for it.
You test them.
They ought to have at least that option.
But the idea that for the greater good, we're going to give up all freedom.
You know, where are all these liberals, my body, my choice people?
I'm not, I just refuse to give into this notion that all freedom goes away.
I believe in freedom.
I believe in liberty.
I believe in medical privacy, and I believe in doctor-patient confidentiality.
Everybody in the media wants me to tell all of you, does anyone really care?
What is your status, Hennedy?
I've given you my position, and it's based on interviewing all the doctors that we've had on the last two years.
And I'm telling you, it's serious.
I'm telling you that I've seen the worst of it.
I'm telling you that you have got to be informed, do your own research.
I'm telling you that you got to look at your unique medical history, current condition, talk to your doctor, doctors, the people that you trust.
You know, if you're informed, for example, whether you have a breakthrough case, you're fully vaccinated, or you get COVID-19, you get a positive result.
Either way, are you informed enough to ask immediately your doctor about monoclonal antibodies?
Because I want, I'm not saying to do it.
I'm saying to ask.
Ask your doctor.
Don't wait till it's day 12 and this thing already attacked your lungs and the damage is done.
It's usually by usually anywhere between day seven and 11.
If it's going to, if you're going to get that, that COVID pneumonia.
Now, from the people that I know, vaccinated and unvaccinated, that got the infusion of monoclonal antibodies, anecdotally, just people I know, they felt better in 24 to 48 hours max.
And it worked very well for them.
Nobody seems to want to talk about that as an option.
As my audience would be, if that option is available, why are you firing people?
How do you fire the nurses that jumped on COVID grenades every day, many of whom got COVID because they cared about their fellow human beings?
And now we're firing them en masse.
And in New York, it looks like we're replacing them with the National Guard.
Excuse me.
I prefer the professional nurse that went to nursing school.
Just like all these people playing doctor on radio, doctor on television, doctor in Washington, Dr. Joe Biden.
Joe Biden doesn't even know what day of the week it is.
It's unbelievable.
All right, quick break.
Right back to the phones, 800-941-Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
Next, our final round.
Information overload.
UOR.
Phones.
Max is in Ohio.
Hey, Max, how are you?
I just, hello, Mr. Hannity.
I just want to start off by saying I'm a huge fan of you.
I've been listening to you on TV since I was 16 years old.
I'm 25 now.
I have over a thousand questions for you.
I don't think we could do that in a three-hour show.
What's on your mind?
All right.
So really, I just wanted to touch base basically on the vaccine.
It couldn't be more black and white for me.
Sir, did you know that there's actually a vaccine lottery in Ohio?
Yes, I am aware.
I know that there is.
And I know the governor set it up.
And there have been other financial incentives in other cities like New York and elsewhere.
Yes, I do.
I'm aware of that.
Right.
So why are they trying to push this vaccine like none other before?
I mean, there was no incentivizing for the flu shot for anybody.
There was no incentivizing for school shots for parents who didn't want their kids to have these school shots, you know, in these double standards.
Oh, and then in the name of public health is this vaccine.
So if we want to look at public health, what about obesity?
That kills millions of people a year and Doritos come up.
Hang on a second.
You're not allowed to talk about people's weight, even though I could afford to lose 10 pounds myself.
You're not allowed to talk about it.
You know, one of the things that we have learned that one of the big conditions, people that are, by definition, obese, have a harder time with COVID.
That is medically now proven.
Then you have people with comorbidities, pre-existing conditions.
You have people with compromised immune systems, et cetera, et cetera.
Then you have very healthy people that look, if you don't, in my view, if you're really insistent that you want a safe workplace, okay, I can respect that.
Why not give everybody the option in a free society to have the test every day?
And if it's the military, wherever, there are enough tests now available that you can test everybody and you're going to have your answer in 15 minutes or less.
Why don't we do that?
I'm with you, honestly.
And to be honest, I don't even like the testing, to be honest.
It goes against what they told us, right?
As they said, if you got vaccinated, mask or vax, and then it's mask and vax.
And now it's mask, vax, and booster.
But the point is, at least for the people that feel so strongly, and this court decision in New York was a big surprise yesterday where a judge ruled that people have a right to a religious exemption against the mandate.
And I'm telling you right now, all of these cases, you're going to see lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit after lawsuit.
Rightly so.
Now, let me ask you this.
You don't want to get the shot.
Okay.
I'm not going to ask you about the reason, the why's, the wherefores, whatever.
And you're still obviously a young man, and it has not impacted young people anywhere near as severely as it has older people.
But if you had the choice, if you feel strongly, you don't want to get this vaccine for whatever reason, and you and your doctor decide that's your course of action, would it bother you to get the test?
Would you choose to at least get, you know, people put a swab up your nose, they run it around in a circle three times, and would you care if they did that every day?
Well, Mr. Hannity, sir, yes, I would, because the American flag means freedom.
I don't have to do freedom.
I don't have to do any of that.
I never did.
And nor, and I will not, I will not comply at all.
You see, the problem for you, the problem is in this environment, if you're going to take the pro you might lose your job.
And I'm just trying to find a way for people not to get fired.
Good people, we don't need to lose military people and nurses and policemen and firefighters.
These people are critical to the functioning of our society.
And do I agree with you on the freedom side of it?
I do.
I do.
I give everybody as much information as I can and all the admonitions that I can about how bad this can be.
But with that said, it's really not my choice, is it?
And I do believe in freedom.
I believe in doctor-patient confidentiality and I believe in medical privacy.
And I'm not going to give up my freedom for the greater good to listen to Dr. Fauci, who's been wrong the whole time.
I got to run, though.
I appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, this is going to be a big issue.
