Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Thanks for being with us, toll-free, 800-941-Sean.
Our number, if you want to be a part of this extravaganza, simple man, Leonard Skinner, means only one thing, self-proclaimed simple man, not quite in reality, but in reality he thinks so.
In his own reality, anyway, all things Bill O'Reilly.
All things Bill O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
You know, there's a, I think, a Netflix show or a Hulu show, I don't know, about Selena Gomez.
I never knew that she suffered from, you know, debilitating anxiety.
And, you know, she was diagnosed with a mental disease and so on and so forth.
And by the way, I wish her all the best.
And it was really debilitating to her.
And I thought of your book, you know, The Killing the Legends, The Lethal Danger of Celebrity.
And then I think of Britney Spears, and you think of so many other people.
The movie Elvis, you know, highlighted this as well.
And it's so sad.
It happens so often.
All these kids that we would watch on TV shows growing up, they all grew up to be a mess, or a lot of them did.
Yep.
It's a crushing blow.
And if you're a young person and you become famous, the odds are that you're going to have a terrible life.
Isn't that terrible?
That's awful.
Yeah, unless you have parents that can almost micromanage you until adulthood because you leave the planet.
And a lot of the people who were elected yesterday, first-timers, they're going to step into a world and they are not going to understand the pain that's going to descend upon them.
Nobody's alive.
I think you've got to support your kids, whatever their dreams happen to be in life, whatever God intended them to be.
I'm just their earthly father.
I'm not their heavenly father.
I didn't put their talent inside them.
But I'm glad that neither one of my kids has any interest at all, whatsoever, in fame.
I just am relieved.
One famous Hannity is enough, don't you think?
Too much.
Too much.
All right, let's listen.
Over the top.
Go ahead.
Let's look at the big picture, O'Reilly picture.
I was very careful, Bill, as you know on this show.
I thought people were over-exuberant in their expectations.
I kept pointing out every one of these states are bellwether states.
Every one of these polls are within the margin of error.
One or two points separate them.
I kept reminding people that only three states, 70,000 votes, Donald Trump's president in 2016, that was it.
In 2020, three states, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona, 43,000 votes separated Trump and Biden.
Bill, everybody, I found their expectations so unrealistic.
And I kept trying to tell people, this is not, you know, these are all hard bellwether races.
I wish it wasn't the case, but I'm looking at it from a realistic standpoint.
Why were people so over the top in their expectations?
Because people believe what they want to believe, and they wanted to believe that their party would win, whether you're Republican or Democrat.
So that's the answer to that question.
But the vote was troubling to me as a historian, not as a reporter or analyst or anything like that, as a historian.
Because millions of Americans voted against their own self-interest.
Arizona is the perfect example of this.
Number one, Arizona can't count its votes.
I mean, we still don't have.
By the way, Bill, you probably didn't see the press conference earlier today.
I think you were actually taping during that time.
I want people to know you're up on the news, but they had a press conference.
There's well over 400,000 votes.
You can't count them.
So just what you do is you sublet that out, hire another state to count your votes, like Florida.
By the way, you know what a tabulator is?
20% of the tabulators in Maricopa County didn't work, Bill.
They can't do it.
But I'm serious.
The federal disgrace has to appoint an overseer for Arizona, perhaps Nevada, because Nevada can't count them either.
And it's not fair to the rest of the nation to have a huge state like Texas, like Florida, like New York, be able to count those votes in a reasonable amount of time, and your state can't.
How about Alabama?
How about North and South Carolina?
How about Oklahoma?
How about the rest of the country deserves better?
Something wrong.
But even that aside, Arizona is a troubled state because of the migrant influx there.
Everyone knows that.
You can't absorb hundreds of thousands of people with the economy Arizona has or even the land base they have.
So it's absolute chaos if you go down to the border and you and I have both been there and you talk to the sheriffs and you talk to the social workers, you talk to everybody, they're going, this is a catastrophe.
Yet the people of Arizona voted for the catastrophe.
We want more of the catastrophe.
Give us more of it.
Because the Democrats are not going to do anything, anything to stop the catastrophe.
So that's the most vivid example I can give you of a population in a state voting against their own self-interest, New York City.
So Zeldon wins more than 90% of the counties in New York, okay?
But he loses the race because African Americans in the poor neighborhoods of the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Upper Manhattan, Harlem come out nine to one against Zeldon.
There are bodies in the streets in these neighborhoods.
They are run by drug gangs.
Elderly people live in fear.
Children can't get educated.
Corruption is everywhere.
Yet the people in those neighborhoods vote for more corruption.
Give me more of it because Hochul is never going to solve the problem.
She won't even acknowledge the problem.
She mocks Lee Zeldon for bringing up the obvious problem.
So as a historian, now I've seen this before in other societies, in other countries, but I really never have seen it in America, where millions of Americans vote against their own self-interest.
Can I throw a theory at you that I spoke at length about in the last hour?
You know, think about when George Pataki was president.
He was a liberal Republican, but a Republican, and he actually was a very competent governor.
I think you and I would agree.
He did a pretty good job for the state of New York, I think, by all measures.
He was there on 9-11 with Rudy Giuliani.
They did a phenomenal job in a very tough time.
And here's what has happened, Bill.
They've become so oppressive in terms of regulation, taxation in New York.
Florida is now getting a migration influx of about 800 new people a day, Bill O'Reilly.
That is a massive number.
And then you look at how did, look at the success of Ron DeSantis.
And Ron DeSantis wins by 33,000 votes.
And in the four years he's governor, the registration, which heavily favored Democrats, flips the Republicans by pretty big margins, and he wins by 20% of the vote.
Marco Rubio right behind them at 17, 18%.
Now, Bill, I would argue the problem is that means New York will never elect a Republican.
I would argue New Jersey is in danger of never electing a Republican.
Pennsylvania is leaning more and more Democrat.
Although the real reason Oz lost is because we had a gubernatorial candidate that was against abortion.
And with no exceptions at all, Ray Bincest Mother's Life.
That is out of the mainstream, forgetting the moral issue of abortion.
Most people support it.
He lost by 13.
Oz got people to switch tickets or literally change sides in the ballot, which is hard to do.
And he only lost by 2%.
So we're looking at states now that are becoming more and more difficult based on numbers of people leaving.
And the people that are leaving tend to be more conservative.
Sure, we're getting more tribal.
Not good for the nation.
But let's get down the road.
You know me.
I'm a simple man who likes to anticipate what's going to happen because you've got to fast two years before the presidential race, right?
So the big winner last night, by any measure at all, Ron DeSantis.
He is the big winner.
The big loser, Nancy Pelosi.
You'll never hear from Nancy Pelosi again.
You haven't heard from her today.
She's shot.
She's through.
She's out.
Thank God.
The woman did an enormous amount of damage to this country.
So with the House being in Republican hands, it basically handcuffs Biden.
And they'll torture Biden with the committees, just like they tortured Trump with January 6th Committee.
You'll have the Hunter Biden committee.
You'll have the Border Committee.
You'll have all of these committees that everybody has.
You'll have the committee on the FBI, on the Department of Justice, the origins of COVID.
It's all going to happen.
Yes.
Atrocity after atrocity at Biden, it's your fault.
You did this, your fault.
And so nothing's going to get done in two years.
Interestingly enough, McConnell, who I don't like, and you know why, because of Kate's law, he is now valuable to the country because he can temper Schumer.
All right?
So I don't know how Walker wins the runoff.
He's down by, I don't know, 12,000 votes or something.
And now he's got to go to the same opponent, exhausted population.
He doesn't have any bullets left in his gun.
It's the same thing.
How's he going to get to 12?
I don't know.
All right.
Quick break more with simple man Bill O'Reilly.
All things O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
Your call's coming up next.
All right, let me tell you about upside.com.
The Fed has not officially said it's a recession, but we know it is.
We know these are inflationary times that are now at a 40-year high.
You need to save money anywhere you possibly can.
That's why I started using the Upside app.
By the way, you download it at your app store.
It's absolutely free, and it's an incredible app.
If you buy gas, you buy groceries, you dine out, guess what?
You're going to get cash back for every single purchase, and you don't pay a penny.
Anyway, to get started, you just go to your app store.
It's absolutely free.
Download the Upside app.
Use the promo code Hannity.
And when you do that, you'll get 25 cents or more back on every gallon of your first tank of gas.
And then, by the way, next time you claim an offer for whatever it is, when you're buying on Upside, you check in at the business, you pay as usual, use your debit card, use your credit card, and then you get paid.
That's right.
You get paid.
Anyway, in comparison to credit card rewards or loyalty programs, you can earn three times more cash back with Upside, and you still get your cash rewards, so you double dip.
And Upside does not sell your personal information to any third party.
That is a vital part of their relationship with you.
Just download the Upside app, use the promo code Hannah.
You'll get 25 cents or more back on every gallon of your first tank and gas, and you'll save money every time you buy groceries or your dine out.
Upside.com.
All right, more with Bill O'Reilly.
AllthingsO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Historically, in runoff elections in Georgia, usually the challenger has the advantage by a large margin.
I think there's been one or two cases where that was not the case.
Yes, last time.
Right now, you'd have to say if you were banking this or betting on this, that the Warnick would win.
And so you basically have another 50-50 situation.
Because I think the Nevada guys, Lax Holtz, going to win.
And nobody even mentions Alaska.
That's a seat they haven't even applied to Republicans in the Senate yet.
Insane.
No, we might know in two weeks a report came out today, Bill, so be patient.
All right, but it's a Republican seat.
So, you know, I'm looking at the little chart now.
Republicans have 49 seats.
And, you know, look, we don't know.
There's over 400,000 votes, many of them day of, yet to be counted out in Arizona.
Blake Masters.
Nah, that's not happening.
Well, we'll see.
I mean, I think Kerry Lake is going to win in the end.
Now, Lake is a different story.
Lake is much closer.
But Nevada is the one you really, you know, that isn't locked down yet because they can't count the votes.
In the state, it's a tiny state.
What is wrong with you people?
Get out of the casinos and start to run your state responsibly.
I'm really teed off at Arizona and Nevada.
But anyway, you have to look down a road that it's going to be another even split in the Senate.
Republicans control the House.
Now, Biden is done.
Done.
He's like Pelosi, but he's still going to be there.
Pelosi will, you know, just take off in January and never see her again.
I hope.
But Biden then is going to fight a war within his own party because his own party knows if Biden's going to sit there, things are going to get worse and worse and worse and worse.
And in two years, whoever the Republican nominee will be will win easily because Biden's not going to improve anything.
Would you agree with that?
He's incapable of problem solving.
He's not going to prove the border.
He's not going to improve the economy.
He's not going to prove anything.
So it'll just deteriorate way past the point right now.
Same thing's going to happen in New York City.
The crime is going to get worse and worse and worse and worse.
And you look and you go, well, 90% of the counties voted for some guy who's going to help, and the minorities didn't.
So it's a really bad situation.
We should all be in this together, and we're all not in this together.
Well, you're talking about New York City in particular.
I mean, look, Democrats outnumber Republicans nine-to-one, Bill.
And that is massive.
You want more bodies in the street?
That's what you voted for when you pulled the lever for Hochul.
Bill, they thought the riots in the summer of 2020 were mostly peaceful, Bill.
It's different.
This is people who can't defend themselves.
These are grandmas going out to try to get some groceries.
I feel the same angst that you do.
I am telling you, mathematically, you know, people would ask me, stop me in the grocery store, stop me in the restaurant, stop me wherever I was.
Zeldon's going to take it, isn't he?
He's really got a chance.
I'm like, he's got a chance.
I said about 30%.
And Oz lost because of Philadelphia, which is another.
No, Oz lost because he had a gubernatorial candidate.
All right, we told you what he's doing here.
I understand that.
Number one, he never caught on with the folks for whatever reason.
Number two, Oprah harpooned him in the neck.
But the big thing was the Philadelphia African-American vote turned out for Fetterman, and they don't even know who Fetterman is.
All right, Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with us.
All things simple man, Bill O'Reilly, at billorilly.com, 800-941-Sean, our number.
We'll get to your calls as we continue.
All right, 25 now until the top of the hour.
Toll-free are numbers 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Final half hour.
We got a great Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News channel.
Let's say hi to Ruben.
He's in the messed up voting state of Arizona.
How are you, Ruben?
Glad you called.
And, you know, you may find out by Friday or maybe Saturday or maybe next week who won the elections out there.
Mr. Hannity, thanks for taking my call.
Longtime listener, first-time caller.
And I've got to agree with you on that last statement, and I agree with Mr. O'Reilly as well.
I'm kicked off at Arizona.
I cannot believe what's going on in our state.
As a multi-generation Arizona native, 35-year police officer, 25-year military member, both retired.
The blue vote that just happened is exactly what they voted for, and this is exactly what they're going to get.
More violent crime, inflation, illegal immigration, and more drugs crossing our borders.
I'm telling you, your listeners don't understand, or maybe they do, what happens in these border states like Arizona, Texas, with the amount of illegal immigration and the amount of drugs that are crossing this border.
Middle America, Northeast America, they just don't see what we see every single day as a police officer for 35 years, what we've had to deal with.
I'm telling you, our officers carry Narcan on them, not only for the victims of a drug overdose, but they carry extra Narcan on themselves in the event that they get exposed to the fentanyl, to different types of opioids that are crossing this border.
In Phoenix alone, just a month and a half ago, a million fentanyl pills were taken off the streets during a search warrant.
These are the types of things that they voted for and they're going to continue to vote for and get by voting blue like they did.
Let's see what happens out in Arizona.
I think that Harry Lake certainly, based on the days that the ballots were returned, are going to come back heavily in her favor.
That is my best educated guess.
And while the margin is bigger in the Senate race at 90,000, when you have 400,000 plus and very close to either day of or weekend of, that tells me that the overwhelming numbers are going to be Republican votes.
And that means Blake Masters is not out of it.
And I will tell you that we've got to change this.
This cannot continue like this.
It is wrong.
It is wrong for the people of Arizona.
It's wrong for the people of Nevada.
It's wrong for the people in Georgia.
It's wrong all over the country.
We ought to be able to, the 48, 45, 6, 7 states that get it right deserve better also.
We're the United States of America.
We can send people to the moon, have the audacity to look up there and say, you know what, I'm going to land a rocket on that sucker, and I'm going to fly men up there, and we're going to let them walk around a little bit, one giant leap for mankind, and then we're going to take them home and they're going to land safely and be alive.
You know what?
If we can do that, we can do better than the voting that we have in many of these states.
It's insane.
It's the same state, same places every time.
It is wrong.
It is not fair.
And I'll take it a step further.
I'm not going to win this debate, but maybe at some point we will wise up as a country.
This does not have to be complicated.
Sometimes the simplest way is the easiest way.
And if I had my way, I'd make Voting Day a national holiday.
I'd go to all paper ballots.
I would have partisan observers watch every single voter vote, watch every single vote counted, and partisan observers see the whole thing.
You make exemptions for the sick, for the elderly, for people that might be away, absentee ballots.
Short of that, show up and vote on this national holiday, and we all get the results at the end of the night.
If it's close, we'll recount it.
If it's really close, we may have to recount it two, three, four times, get it right, give confidence to the system.
Democrats don't want that.
They don't even want voter ID.
They don't want signature verification.
They don't want partisan observers observing.
And it's just simply not fair.
We need integrity in our system so we have confidence in the results so we don't have to go through this every two years, it seems, in some state, someplace, somewhere.
We have the ability to do this and do it right and do it with integrity.
That's all I want.
I don't want any advantage.
I just want fundamental fairness across the board.
Every state needs to prioritize this.
I agree with you.
Everyone should be angry about it.
Anyway, thank you.
Our friend Don in Lake Ron Concome on Long Island, New York.
You know, Don, I know that people wanted Lee Zeldon.
I will tell you, Lee Zeldon did about as good as anybody can do.
Most New Yorkers that would have otherwise voted for him 10 years ago, they have left.
They're not here anymore.
There's been a mass migration between accelerated by COVID and COVID lockdowns and accelerated by baby boomers retiring.
And probably it's only the beginning of the mass exodus from states like New York.
Yep, I tell you, I would have loved to have left years ago.
We've discussed this over the years.
If I didn't have one daughter here that needed my help for a while.
But yeah, I was asking permission to come aboard and permission not to jump overboard with the results yesterday.
I was just so about the Lee Zeldon, of course.
I saw that guy really work his butt off for 18 months straight.
He went to all 62 counties three or four times and still people just didn't get it.
I just can't figure.
And nobody else too, Sean?
Like your last call, that great last caller.
These ballots, these mail-in ballots and these machines breaking down, totally false.
I mean, you can't have a backup.
Can you imagine having a backup generator at a hospital or a backup fire or anything backup?
It's just ridiculous.
The tabulators.
Linda was making fun of me yesterday.
I said, what is a tabulator?
She goes, she goes, a thing that tabulates.
And then she says, this is a fair point definition.
This is a very fair point.
It is a machine that tabulates.
You know, I will say this.
Look, Don, we all hope for it.
When people would ask me, I kept saying, yeah, he's got a chance.
He does.
But it's going to take Democrats, as Bill O'Reilly was saying, vote for their own best interest, their own safety and security.
And in overwhelming numbers in New York City, they rejected that.
They're that woke.
Now, I don't know how many more old people have to get beaten up.
How many more people have to get thrown before trains?
How many other people will die before they realize this idiotic, no bail law madness?
And it's crazy.
And defunding the NYPD a billion dollars is a disaster.
Just vote D-Nix in our name.
I mean, the other thing is, Florida, third most populous state, they can count votes and have results at the end of Election Day.
Why can't the others do that?
It is, the reality is, is if they wanted to, they could.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
I think there should be a law written that if a state election cannot certify the election results by midnight, they forfeit federal aid for four months.
And for four months, for every day after Election Day.
So if it's two days, it's eight months.
If it's three days, it's a year.
Something's got to be done fiscally to shake these people up.
Listen, you know, you go to like states like Florida, no mass mail-in ballots, you know, no ballot harvesting, voter ID.
You know, and look what happens.
Look at what happened down in Florida.
And people wonder why is Florida thriving?
Why are property values going to maintain their value far better than the rest of the country?
Because they're running a state that people want to go to, and the weather's better, and you don't have to pay high heating bills.
If this election took place in February of this year, I guarantee you it would have been the wipeout wave that so many, not me, were predicting.
And I went out of my way, as you know, Don.
Yes.
I did not like the exuberance.
It was so over the top.
If I heard the word tsunami or wave one more time, I was going to pop a blood vessel.
Sean, for 23 years, I've been listening to you, and you have always been level-headed when it comes to elections.
And you've been level-headed when it comes to poll numbers.
I told people that these are all bellwether states.
Every one of these races is within a point or two.
Why are you so over-exuberant?
Why are you not believing the data, even though you can't really trust polls?
And in some cases, they were really off.
In other cases, they were dead on.
Yep.
Yep.
And you've got a great crew, both on radio and TV.
Yeah, we do.
We have a good team.
Overall, I mean, look, we got a lot out of this that nobody's talking about yet, as I said earlier in the program.
And we've got to take, it wasn't a wave, but we've got to take our wins for what they are and appreciate the fact that, you know what, we now have a check and a balance in the House of Representatives.
We have a fighting chance for the U.S. Senate.
Let's stick with that, hold on to that, cling to that.
And, you know, and hopefully things will work out.
At the end of the day, Americans now will get to see another two years.
Democrats will likely misinterpret these results, and they will stick to the insanity of their policies that are failing spectacularly.
And let's see how much pain the American people will have to endure before the change is made.
There's an ebb and flow to political cycles.
We've seen this.
We've lived them.
We've covered them all.
And it's going to happen again.
That's all there is to it.
Anyway, Don, you're the best.
Thanks, my friend, as always.
All right, let's go to Ohio Richard.
Hi, Richard.
How are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Very mixed feelings about last night here in Ohio.
I'm very happy that JD Vance won.
Very disappointed in the outcome in Pennsylvania.
I had a lot of hope for Dr. Oz.
I was very impressed with Dr. Oz two and a half plus years ago when you had him on almost every day during the early days of COVID.
And I thought he would be really, really great in the Senate.
It's just people of Pennsylvania very obviously voted against their own self-interest.
I don't get it.
I think Dr. Oz's biggest problem, as I stated earlier, and some people are tuning in later, so I'm not trying to be repetitive here, but I don't know why.
Look, I know people have very strong feelings on if they're pro-life, pro-choice.
I'm not talking about the morality of this.
I am talking about the political viability of a position.
And Doug Maustriano, nice guy.
I liked him.
But when he said no exceptions, rape and says, Mother's Life, that was it.
Now he ends up with a 13-point deficit on the ticket, running for governor.
And there's Oz.
And Oz now has to get people that refuse to vote for that one position on that one issue, which we all know was in play after the Dobbs decision.
And on this, people do vote, especially after the Dobbs decision.
It was the timing couldn't have been worse in terms of the Republicans.
The demagoguing of the issue took hold by a lot of people.
But to get people to split tickets and have it done by double digits is a massive undertaking.
But, you know, there comes a point.
You're only going to get so many people to split their ticket in any one election cycle.
Very true.
Having discussed this now, obviously, apparently the Republicans are going to control the House.
They still have an outside chance of controlling the Senate.
And Republicans have been in charge before, and they've disappointed us.
What they better concentrate on this time, if they do end up in charge, is they better concentrate on what I call the kitchen table issues.
Inflation, fuel prices, gasoline, diesel, natural gas, home heating oil, the grocery stores, things that affect people's lives every single day.
I heard somebody the other day on Fox, as a matter of fact, saying that the big problem is government spending.
Well, you know, you talk to most people, people that don't listen to Sean Hannity or people that listen to Mark Levin or Bill Cunningham here in Cincinnati, and you talk about government spending and people's eyes glaze over.
But when you go to the gas pump, people's eyes are not glazed over.
They know what's going on.
Those are the things that affect people every single day, and that's what they want to concentrate on as best they can.
How much pain do people want to take?
Because people voted against their own best interests.
And it's going to get worse, far worse, mark my words.
And Democrats will be emboldened and doubled down on stupid and bad policies.
Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend.
800-941-Sean is our number.
It's going to wrap things up for today.
Hannity tonight, 9-Eastern on the Fox News channel.
Complete coverage analysis of Election Day in America and what is to come.
When will we get Arizona results, Nevada results?
What are we going to see in Georgia with this runoff now officially on?
We'll check in with Senator Ted Cruz.
Ron Johnson pulled out his race against a pretty radical Democrat.
Why was it even close?
Marco Rubio on what's going on in Florida.
Kellyanne Conway, Mike Huckabee, Joe Concha, Clay Travis, 9 Eastern, Hannity, Fox News, set your DVR.
We'll see you then back here tomorrow.
Let not your hearts be troubled.
We will fight another day.
There's a lot going on.
We can still win a lot more than people think.
Anyway, see you tonight back here tomorrow.
