We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.com.
Uh Mr. O'Reilly, um, we were told that inflation was going to be transitory.
We were told over and over and over and over again.
Uh Biden predicted inflation would peak in December.
It's now July.
And we now have the highest number to date.
Uh when he inherited one point four percent consumer price index, which is virtually little to no inflation.
Uh now it's nine point one percent, and the folks, as you like to call people, like me, um, the poor, especially the poor, the middle class, people on fixed incomes, they are getting killed every day with no end in sight.
Yeah, the average uh American worker is lost thirty-four hundred dollars since Joe Biden has been elected.
Um I think it's much higher than that for the average.
Well, by the way, I can give you a number that is higher than that.
Bloomberg predicted about and then this is before numbers have gone higher and gas prices have gone higher, that the average family is gonna be pump paying close to five thousand seven hundred dollars a year just in Biden's inflation tax.
That sounds about right.
So, you know, most families can't can't afford that.
And so they go into debt.
I just instituted Hani, and I think you'll like this.
A new segment on BillO'Reilly.com, the No Spin News called The Smart Life.
You know me, I'm an innovator, Waters World, Dennis Miller, you know.
Oh, good, good grief.
Well, you stop.
Just stop for a second.
What just tell us what it is.
Okay.
The Smart Life is basically a segment a day telling the American people how they can combat the incompetence of Joe Biden on the economic front.
So that there are ways that you can that you can do this.
Let me give you one.
So a lot of people buy on the internet now.
So if you pick out something on the internet you want, whether it's food or clothing or recreational item, birthday gift, whatever it may be, even your book and my book, Hannity.
You go then to Google and you put the item in, and chances are there will be a coupon, a discount coupon on exactly what you want to buy.
Very few people know that exists.
So it used to be the coupons were in the newspaper, but now they're on the internet.
And so you can get up to 30% off what you need to buy if you do the investigation on Google.
That's a pretty good tip, is it not?
Actually, I'm arguing any way people can save money, they should.
Yeah.
Uh one way, for example, is to go to places like Walmart and uh Target and Costco's.
Um I go to all these stores.
I love these stores.
I don't know why the left always is attacking these stores.
Uh they provide everything you'd ever want, especially like a super Walmart.
Uh Costco has everything you'd ever want, uh, including your big book, Killing the Killers.
I saw it in Costco.
Listen, the big box stores, you can get stuff, but that, you know, I know you like to go and and and pareen around in the in with your little cart, um, but a lot of people they they Buy on the internet now.
Uh I have another aside that I want to tell you and your uh listeners, your millions of listeners, and this is very interesting.
So Joe Biden got in trouble for the taco remark, right?
Joe Biden, yeah.
Yeah.
And I didn't cover it because uh people make mistakes.
I don't think Joe Biden has anything against Hispanics.
I mean, I just don't.
However, you remember a guy named Victor Garcia at Fox.
Yeah.
Well, he works for me now, because I took a bunch of people from Fox to work for me.
He wrote an excellent column about because he's Mexican American.
I mean, he's and and he's a really hard working guy, Victor.
And he wrote an excellent column about the taco thing on BillO'Reilly.com.
And my son, he and his crew read this.
And that, you know, these guys, these guys don't do that.
But they all and it now it's going through the urchin group on the internet, and they're and they read it because Victor is so down to earth, and and I want everybody to be aware of it.
So if you want to take a look on BillO'Reilly.com, the taco Joe Biden thing, we have something there.
But you know, there's something happening, Hannity, and I think you know this because I've watched your TV show and you and you're um you're covering it.
There's a groundswell of opposition now to the progressive movement, and that extends to Joe Biden.
The fuse was lighted by inflation that we just talked about.
That lighted the fuse.
But now people are saying, you know, I'm gonna rethink this whole progressive stuff in violent crime, in immigration, in economics, in uh social uh media, and and all these things.
It's happening.
It's happening.
I can see it on the retail level.
And I think that that is the most important thing about the Biden administration.
We've reached the Nadir, word of the day, nay dear, the low point.
And now Americans are going, you know what?
We don't want this.
We don't want cancel culture, we don't want woke, we don't want uh insanity in our schools, we don't want people parading around saying that men can get pregnant.
We don't want it.
And that's gonna start to mount and mount and mount.
Meantime, the press tries to divert attention away from that by January sixth hearings and all this means nothing.
Okay.
What means something is that the average working person is going into debt because of the incompetence of the Biden administration.
So here's what's pretty fascinating.
The New York Times uh has basically begun the effort in a series now.
It's this is not just one uh separate article.
The latest happens to be written by Peter Baker, the chief White House correspondent about Joe Biden and and Joe Biden's age.
And at 79, Joe Biden's testing the boundary of age and his presidency.
And then they talk about him shuffling and and everyone worried he'll trip on a wire.
His speeches are flat listless, stumbling so often during them that the staffers are holding their breath and see if he can make it to the end without a gaff, which usually means no.
Uh he makes huge policy uh announcements that are instantly walked back by the White House.
He often loses his train of thought, he has trouble uh summoning names.
Uh he's uh in other words, Sean Hannity was right.
He's weak, frail, uh, and a cognitive mess.
Now, the interesting thing to me about this isn't that the New York Times is turning on him because even their poll has him at 32 percent.
What's interesting to me is that they think that that it's Joe Biden that's the problem.
It's the entire Democratic Party agenda.
He is he is doing everything his party wants.
He's implementing every radical Bernie Biden manifesto policy that he promised.
And the policies are what are failing, Bill.
So you replace Biden with whoever.
You're still gonna get the same outcome.
But you're not gonna get it much longer because the the independent voters, not the conservatives and not the liberals, the independent voters are the ones that decide national elections now.
And the independent voters are saying, I'm getting hurt.
So we gave Biden a chance because we didn't like Trump.
That's why Biden got elected, all right?
And he's been a colossal failure.
Colossal failure.
So now we got to give somebody else a chance, and it's not gonna be a Democrat.
So that's good news for those of us who want the country to be run in a sane problem solving manner.
Because Joe Biden's not going to solve any problems.
He causes the problems.
He's not going to solve any problems.
It doesn't matter how long he's there or how many times he shovels.
Well, then let me ask you, because he's now over at the Pariah Nation, to use his words, uh meeting with the Crown Prince, the murderer of Jamal Koshogi according to Biden.
Isn't that embarrassing?
How embarrass but okay?
So he's going to kiss the ring, maybe kiss the ass.
I don't know what he's going to kiss, but he's gonna suck up.
He's not gonna bring up the issue of Koshogi.
No.
But but my question is we have more domestic energy in this country.
Uh Donald Trump got us to energy independence.
We were net exporter of energy.
Because of the global warming crew.
I mean, if you look at this new Dartmouth study that came out, and this study is bogus because they wanted to pin all of these uh emissions on the United States and China, and that's what they did.
If you look at that study, it is true that uh emissions from industry are alterating or altering the climate.
That's true.
But to what extent nobody knows, and if you destroy your infrastructure, your economic industry infrastructure, as Biden has done.
See, that's that's the root of all inflation, the attack on the fossil fuel industry.
And now this is why it's so embarrassing.
Now he goes over to Saudi Arabia, a totalitarian state, okay, and he has to make a deal with the sheikhs to harvest more oil to drive the uh international oil prices down, and he's got to give them something.
He's got to give them weapons or or whatever they want.
He has to do it.
It's not like he's bargaining in a position of strength.
But Bill, you know, think back to Bill Clinton, and you and I remember the shellacking he got in ninety four.
Newt Gingrich was elected speaker.
IMC'd his event that night.
That's how far back we go, actually further than that.
And then Bill Clinton made a pivot.
The era of big government is over, the end of welfare as we know it.
They actually came up with a plan to balance the budget, and in fact, they not only balanced it, but we ended up with a few years of of surplus because Newt was fiscally responsible and and to his credit, Clinton went along with the plan uh, even though a lot of his party was against it.
I don't see in this radical new climate alarmist democratic socialist cult any ability to pivot.
If I did, I would tell you.
I don't think it's possible.
So but everybody else supports the same policies.
That they speak in one voice, Bill.
You know, but they've always done that.
Not like this, not as extreme.
Well, that's because the media, which is really the messenger.
You know, it's funny the New York Times writing all this stuff about Joe Biden.
Well, are you gonna apologize for your endorsement of Biden?
Are you gonna apologize for you know, doing what?
Uh a hundred and thirty anonymous sourced articles that made Trump look bad?
Is that are you gonna apologize for any of that New York Times?
You know, remember who the people were who attacked Trump on a daily basis, and Trump did a pretty darn good job economically.
And that's the fact, by the way.
Isn't that true?
But he did a good job economically, and world leaders feared him.
Right.
They did.
Both of those things are true, and and there's no two sides to the story.
But anyway, all of this media, Washington Post, New York Times, NBC, CBS, ABC, they all cluster together to promote progressive tenants, which is why they're all weakening.
That's another good news.
So in that the Democratic Party's weakening, and so is the media.

Sir Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.com.
As I watch all of this, you know, we both kind of have similar backgrounds and and uh start in life.
My parents couldn't afford to send me to college, and I worked since I was eight years old as a paper boy and moved on from there.
And I was able to I I basically financially was independent attend.
I never asked my parents for any money.
You know, I'd get Christmas gifts, my refrigerator was full.
We didn't have family dinners uh because my parents were were working two jobs, both of them all the time, or double shifts in the case of my mom.
And I now see two-thirds of our country living that way, regardless of what income level they happen to be at.
You know where I live in Long Island.
Uh it is, you know, it's kind of a mixed area.
It's middle class.
Uh you have some more wealthy people, you have some few people that are lower middle class.
But you go to the local food bank, Bill, and and the line is so long, you can't believe it.
That's how bad it is.
All working Americans have to start to wise up, get out of party politics, and vote for problem solvers.
That's my been my mantra from the very beginning.
All right, so let me ask you.
I'm a I'm a registered conservative because I believe and I've I've made my case that conservative policies work.
Our bad.
Am I wrong?
Uh I do it on a case-by-case basis.
Okay, you know my positions.
Where would you might where might you disagree with me?
Which is a healthy sign.
I mean, you know, we're not in lockstep.
I'm at registered independent.
Um, I want, for example, uh, the federal government to um federalize all gun crimes.
All gun crimes.
So a lot of conservatives don't want to give the federal government that power.
So, you know, we're we're in a zone, but we where we both agree, because we, as you pointed out, come from very um very tough working class backgrounds.
Tough I mean we didn't have a lot of disposable income.
Where we both agree is that you can't by your policies, you can't hurt the workers.
You've got to be a good thing.
He's pop it.
But Bill, they're proposing a tax increase.
I know.
It's insane on the middle class, Bill.
It's insane, and and we got the tax increase through inflation, and they gotta pay more on the gasoline tax.
I mean, it's crazy.
All right, Mr. O'Reilly, simple man.
Uh, don't forget Bill's book, Killing uh uh Latest in the Killing Series, Killing the Killers.
You bet uh it's Number one New York Times bestseller, all things O'Reilly of BillO'Reilly.com, bookstores anywhere, and of course uh uh Hannity.com, Amazon.com as well.
Sir, thank you for being with us.
Always fun, Sean.
Thanks for having me.
...to the top of the arrow.
Just when you think it can't get worse than it is...
Especially for our weak, frail, decrepit, you know, cognitive mess of a president.
You know, he ends up in Israel.
Uh, you know, but before that, he snaps at a reporter when the reporter says, asks if he's running for re-election.
Hey, Jack, hey, Jack, you know, the tough guy Biden, the irritable old man comes out.
Listen.
Mr. President, what's your message to Democrats who don't want you to run again?
They want me to run.
Two thirds city.
Read the polls.
Read the polls, Jack.
You guys are all the same.
That poll showed that 92% of Democrats of Iran would vote for me.
Read polls, Jack.
You're all you guys are all the same.
And I mean you can't make it up.
Anyway, he ends up in Israel, and then he he gets off the plane and he goes, uh well, what am I doing now?
No wonder why they have to write these special cards.
Go into the room.
Say hello to everybody.
Listen.
What do I do now?
What am I supposed to do?
And for some Democrats, they're saying, well, maybe let's go to let's look to Kamala Harris.
Maybe she can replace them in 2024.
Okay, here's the latest word salad.
Together, we are expanding access to transportation.
Seems like maybe it's a small issue, it's a big issue.
You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home.
You need to get to go to be able to take it to where you need to go to do the work you need to do to go.
This is you can't make this up.
It's just so bad.
And I should be, I shouldn't be laughing because it's such a disaster.
But it, you know, I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Catherine in Texas.
Hey, Catherine, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
I'm I'm just a pleasure speaking with you.
The pleasure's all mine.
Glad you called.
Well, I just wanted to say I'm a fifth generation Texan, and I was deeply appalled by Dr. Dr. Biden's comment that she made here while in San Antonio.
She basically stereotyped us to a breakfast taco.
And I just think that the administration is so incompetent that they don't even understand or lack the knowledge of Hispanic and Latino heritage.
She I know they're trying to apologize about it, but the basic fact is they really have insulted the American Hispanic and Latino.
And we all work so hard for this country, and all our servicemen and all our military.
So many of us have died for this country.
And as a matter of fact, my father is uh was a U.S. Marine Korean veteran with two purple hearts.
And I'm sure he'd be flipping in his grape right now, knowing that he was compared to a breakfast taco.
I mean, it's beyond insulting to me.
And we both know that if any Republican made such an offensive comment, we know what the reaction would be.
Um and I know the you know, if you look at the media mob, uh you got MSDNC, the New York toilet paper Times, mainstream media, all ignoring Joe Biden's comments.
And why is that?
Because they run defense for all things democratic socialists if it was Donald Trump that would have been blown up into Donald Trump the racist, racist, racist, racist, racist, then it would be non-stop coverage for weeks, maybe months.
Maybe they'd even have a set of hearings on it, whether to impeach him uh for the for the comment.
I mean, you know, these are just the strangest times we're living in, but something is even bigger that's happening, and that is there is an opportunity for a new common sense American major majority.
What is a common sense American majority?
Forget Republican and Democrat for just a second here.
It would be lower taxes, less bureaucracy, secure borders, energy independence, law and order, safety and security.
It would be school systems that actually teach kids reading, writing, math, science, and computers.
And if you want to do the woke stuff, let parents opt in after class, after the work has been done for the day.
Uh, I doubt many parents will be opting in.
And, you know, we've we've got an opportunity now because you you see every major demographic group in the country is now saying they've had it with the Democrats.
They've had it with high gas prices.
You know, they claim a monopoly to of compassion for minorities.
What have their policies done for minorities?
They claim a monopoly of compassion for poor people, the middle class, working people, uh, people on fixed incomes.
What have their policies done to these demographic groups?
It is disroying the middle class and the poor in this country.
And so now is an opportunity for a new coalition to form, one that is an American majority of people that have values that believe in the power of the individual, uh, a ladder to success for everybody that that supports law and order and and energy independence and would lower inflation, would lower the cost uh at the pump, lower the cost to heat and cool your home.
Just common sense stuff.
I'm I'm I'm not there's nothing that I'm saying, Catherine, that should be controversial here.
But to them, that they're just rigidly clinging to their you know, new Green Deal climate alarmist cult as if there's it's manna from heaven.
Well, they certainly can't even get a speech done correctly.
And um I was just so offended by them.
And I know they're they're trying to make up for the mistake that they made, but technically um it's out there, and I think it's a disservice, and it's it's horrible.
And I think I agree.
I just couldn't believe it.
I mean, I was just floored.
And everyone's the answer is in all of us being deputized, go and vote these people out.
Vote them out, fire them.
Fire all of them.
And get people in office that believe in the things that we know would make this country great again.
God bless you, appreciate the call.
Oklahoma, Lisa is next on the Sean Hannity show.
Lisa, how are you?
Glad you called.
I'm well, sir.
Thank you for taking my call.
Um, the reason I've called, I've never called into a show before, but I was really struck by the fact that the news is showing pictures of little kids getting off in Seattle around jugged in, and that just blew my mind.
I was shocked it was DVD.
I think it was San Francisco, but it may have been Seattle.
Linda, wasn't that San Francisco?
I'm pretty sure it was San Francisco, because we showed it two nights ago on Hannity.
I've I've been all over the world, and I've been all over the U.S., and that's one of my favorite places in the country.
And I can also tell you that, you know, growing up, I was I have multiple disabil disabilities, and I've worked my way through two degrees.
And I'm working class background, and I worked really, really hard to get where I am.
And I am sick and tired of all the the drug crime and the you know race crime.
And let's take some personal responsibility in this country.
It's about time.
Let me just describe the scene as best I can.
You have young school children getting off their school bus, dropped off right in one of these open-air drug shooting uh streets in in San Francisco, uh, where they get off a bus and what do they see?
A bunch of people stoned out of their minds, high on whatever, uh shooting up whatever, and you know, looking dead at and so on and so forth.
An obviously dangerous situation.
I have no idea why this is even a bus stop.
You would think that people would have enough sense not to drop kids off in that unsafe area.
I mean, it's not even safe for their parents to go down there.
Uh you're gonna have somebody that's so in need of drugs, they'll rob anybody at any gunpoint, whatever.
It's it's so spectacularly stupid, but but it does reflect a lot of what's going on in society.
I've said it many times.
You cannot pursue happiness without law and order or without safety and security.
That's something we do know how to do.
We can fix every town and every city.
It's called Law enforcement, refunding the police, not defunding the police.
You know, putting bail laws back the way they used to be.
You commit a crime, you have to post a massive amount of bail to get out, especially if the evidence is overwhelming.
And the third part of this is stop attacking the police.
There look, remove all bad apples, but that's that's a very tiny percentage of police.
Most big cities now have majority, minority police forces.
Give them more training, give them more tools.
You know, I've been I've been purchasing this gun called the burner.
It's a it's a non-lethal alternative that you can give to cops that immobilizes people at at longer distances if they seem to be a threat to people.
It has, you know, two pepper sprays and tear gas, a projectile that fires out of out of that burner gun.
Uh it doesn't hurt them in the end.
I mean, the worst case scenario is if you make a mistake, at least the person's not dead, but you can protect innocent life, and it gives police another option short of pulling out that weapon and and shooting for upper body mass, which is how they're trained to shoot.
Uh so give them more training, give them more tools.
Um, and I I we can start saving lives and having better communities that are safer and more secure.
I mean, that's not that hard.
Lisa, thank you.
All right, quick break right back to the phones, toll-free.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh, we'll get to your calls, your comments straight ahead.
Stephen Moore on today's disastrous CPI numbers and more, also coming up as we continue.
Let's hit back to our busy phones.
Chris, Illinois, you're next.
You're on the Sean Hannity show.
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, I'm oil listener.
Uh started listening to you back in the rush days when you used to fill in.
Yeah, when I dropped the golden EIB microphone and Rush comes, Sean Hannity, drop the golden EIB.
I always wondered why he seemed to have an angst against you when I thought you were the greatest upcoming.
Nah, he didn't we were friends.
That no rush was being rushed.
I mean, and you know, the funniest thing is he had a wicked sense of humor.
Want to hear a funny story?
Sure.
So when I first came to work for Fox in '96, Russia's studio was right next to to my studio.
And then a year later I was doing afternoon drive in New York.
But anyway, so I was on there late at night after I did Hannity and Combs, and all night long Russia's phone lines would light up.
And so there were nights I just start randomly picking callers.
Yeah, you want to talk to Rush.
People thought they were talking to Rush.
You're on the EIB network.
You know, and say then some people on his team got mad.
He didn't get mad at all.
He thought it was hilarious.
Well, all I have to say is yesterday you broke my heart and you really ticked me off.
Uh oh, what about it?
Uh you offered to pay money to either go over to or helped get uh Brittany the grinder out of Russia.
She got a 10-year sentence for having a I understand for having a weed jewel pod, which by the way is illegal.
She should give it a penalty.
Ten years in jail, that is nothing but punitive and absolutely over the top sentencing.
And whether you're I I don't even know Brittany Griner, but she's a our fellow American, and we ought not be treating allowing Putin to treat fellow Americans this way.
It's bigger, it's bigger than her.
Okay, she violated the law.
It's a pretty minor offense, relatively speaking.
Uh should she have done it?
No.
Okay.
Give her a month in jail and let us take her home.
I don't want this woman locked up in a Russian prison for ten years.
A fellow American.
That's how I feel.
Yeah.
Well, you know, and it is your money.
You can, you know, spend it the way you want.
But I just think I was making a point to LeBron James that said, well, maybe she wouldn't want to come back to America anyway.
I'm like, maybe you should figure out the jury.
If it was Donald Trump, she'd be home already.
I promise you.
But there's got to be someone still in the DC prison jail.
You know, that that went to the Capitol on January 6th with no harmful intent.
That's still Riding away in there that needs a voice.
I think they're prosecuting 800 people, but everybody in the 574 riots in the summer of 2020, very few prosecutions.
And we have videotape evidence of people committing crimes, and we're not doing a thing.
We're not lifting a finger.
Kamala Harris, you know, supporting they're not take note.
Beware.
They're not gonna stop.
They shouldn't stop.
We're not gonna stop.
We shouldn't stop.
Uh, and then of course, tweeting out the bail fund in Minneapolis after they burned down the police precinct.
Where's where are the hearings on that?
Oh no, exactly.
But I'm just thinking your money would be better spent someone here that's caught up, you know, over in DC.
Uh and and not, you know, because there's other forces trying to help, you know, Brittany.
And and if you do get her out, there's gonna be no thank you to you.
I don't care if I don't do things to get a thank you.
I do things because they're right.
Our fellow American does not deserve 10 years in jail for this minor offense.
Period.
And uh I find it repulsive that our president is so weak that he can't stand up to Putin and take the necessary sh strong steps to get her free.
And by the way, the reason there's a stalemate in Ukraine, I blame Biden and I blame our NATO allies.
They never would give Zelensky the tools he needed to win the war.
He could have won this war already.
Now it's become a typical quagmire because they never fight to win wars.
And that to me is a disaster.
Anyway, I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
