Bill O'Reilly on Nashville - March 29th, Hour 2

Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, Simple Man.
That's Leonard Skinner.
And that means that is all things Simple Man, self-proclaimed Simple Man.
That's all things Bill O'Reilly on this radio program, allthings O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
Did you get your Team Normal stuff, Hannity?
My team what?
Team Normal.
I sent it to you.
You know, you must have some armed guards or something.
I don't have armed guards.
I can defend myself.
Team Normal is the off to Governor Sanders State of the Union rebuttal team crazy team normal.
So on billo'reilly.com, and this has gone through the roof.
We've got gear.
Of course, we have gear.
We've always had gear.
The spin stops here, doormats.
I remember, Bill.
Yeah, so it says team normal on these great polos.
You'll love them.
The hats and the mugs and bumper suckers.
But the fun part about this is it's not political.
And I know you hang out in Costco and these big stores.
I love Costco's.
Costco's is like my favorite.
All right, I have two topics I want to cover with you.
Typically, predictably, you have a shooting incident, and what does the left do?
They blame guns.
That was Joe Biden's response.
Now, one thing we do know, and I know for a fact because I talked to law enforcement sources on the ground, Bill, in Tennessee, this school, the Covenant School, was not the original target.
We know that the shooter had planned the attack at another location, but then gave up the idea after doing a threat assessment and seeing that the site had, quote, too much security.
Now, I've been saying for years, Bill O'Reilly, simple man that you are, that every school deserves the type of protection we provide elected officials, and I think we should provide that.
The type of protection Hollywood stars have, and that is they should have metal detectors.
I think that they should have cameras all over the school.
So, you know, those cameras were very pivotal to help the police in Nashville this week.
I think they should have retired police armed undercover, retired military armed undercover and control the perimeter.
Now, here's what really angered me, Bill O'Reilly.
And you know, Irish people, when they get a temper, it's not good.
I heard your president, Joe Biden, go out there.
He's about to talk about the shooting.
We lost six innocent people, three nine-year-old kids, and this guy thinks it's, you know, ice cream day until joke day.
This is what he did.
Joe Biden.
I'm Dr. Joe Biden's husband.
And I hate Jenny's ice cream chocolate chip.
I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream.
By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs.
I think I'm kidding.
I'm not.
Ben, how are you, pal?
One of the best guys in the United States Congress, Ben Cardin.
Folks, welcome to the White House.
Thank you.
It's delight to have you all here.
Dude, who are those good-looking kids back there?
Your kids, all four of them?
Well, stand up, guys.
And then he started talking about Tennessee.
Bill, if I'm one of those parents, if I'm my kids in that school and he pulled that crap when these kids are lying in a pool of blood, I'd be apoplectic livid.
Yeah, but I don't know why you're surprised.
I mean, the guy is incapacitated mentally.
He doesn't have the cognitive ability to behave in an appropriate manner.
Let me just give you a couple of things.
So if you were really concerned about gun violence, if you really thought that that was a major issue that you wanted to suppress, gun violence, then why would you allow five and a half million people to come into the United States unsupervised when a portion of that crew are violent criminals?
Why would you?
Well, you're talking about open borders, Bill, and we don't do any background checks.
And Joe aids and abets the lawbreaking, which, by the way, he has a sworn oath to uphold the Constitution.
Our laws are based on that Constitution.
He doesn't care, Hannah.
And this is what I'm trying to get across to you.
Just today, it surfaces that the DA in Washington, D.C., and remember, Washington, D.C. is controlled by Joe Biden.
It's a federal territory.
It's not local.
69% of arrests in Washington, D.C. are not prosecuted by this far-left coup DA.
Okay?
You know how many deaths that is?
You know how many murders that is?
So my point is that when I hear Joe Biden speak about things, I know he doesn't know what he's doing.
He doesn't connect violence in Tennessee to what he's doing at the moment in Hawaii.
But Bill, let me stop you because this is not complicated here.
You're about to speak about the death of innocent children in a shooting that took place that day, and he thinks it's comedy hour, an ice cream hour, and then he, I don't know how you transition.
Oh, let me make everybody laugh.
Oh, by the way, there was a shooting today.
I'm very sorry to hear about it.
Yeah.
Because he doesn't know the appropriate thing to do.
If any of your listeners right now have older relatives or friends and they're in cognitive decline, as Joe Biden is, you know that inappropriate things are done all the time because they're not able to see beyond themselves and the moment.
See, Joe Biden can't see anything other than the moment and what his staff tells him to do.
He can't link up, well, maybe that's not appropriate because of what happened in Tennessee a few hours ago.
He's incapable of doing that.
I am not making an excuse for him.
I am putting out a warning to the American people that if he runs, and again, I still don't think he will, all right, and you vote for him, you are voting to put yourself in danger.
That's what your vote is.
You're putting yourself in danger because he is not able to dissemble problems in his mind.
But there's nobody around him that says, Mr. President, we lost six innocent people today, including three nine-year-old kids.
That was a riff he did.
I don't think his staff knew he was going to do that.
I could be wrong on that, but I can't imagine.
You know, because all they care about, the staff in the White House, is keeping his image intact.
Well, that illusion has been shattered now a long time ago.
And hence, as I predicted a long time ago, and I think you will give me credit, I was the first one to have the courage to go out there and say this guy's not all there.
I took a lot of heat for it, but I was right, and now everybody's recognizing it, especially our enemies.
Let me go to the liberal media, and I don't hate Joe Scarborough.
I really don't.
I knew him years ago when he was more conservative.
He's now a hard-left liberal on MSDNC.
But he does a rant today, yelling at sick Republicans, blaming them for school shootings, saying they are the enemy of the rule of law.
Okay, so that's his comments.
Now, put this in perspective.
I'm looking for a solution, Bill.
It's neither Republican, Democrat.
It's not conservative, liberal.
We know how to keep schools safe.
Now, if we had metal detectors in every school, if we had undercover, armed, retired police and military at every school, if we had cameras in every hall, just like the school that this particular shooter decided not to go to because there was too much security, every child would be safe.
They would be secure.
We wouldn't have any more school shootings, Bill.
Now, there's an answer that nobody seems willing to talk about.
All right.
So it's a local issue.
All school issues are.
And people pay property taxes.
That money is used to fund the schools.
So it is not difficult for every single school district in this country, in all 50 states, to allot money for security guards in the schools.
That is not a difficult thing to do.
And I'll put forth that if you have to raise a 1% on the property tax to fund that, that most people would say, okay, I'm going to do that.
I'm fine with that.
So that's how you solve that problem.
It's a local problem.
Now, as far as Scarborough is concerned, I'm talking to him one time in my entire life.
He lives in the District of Columbia, I believe.
And I just told you that the DA there is not prosecuting 69% of arrests.
Well, where is his rant about that?
So this is what these pundits do.
All right.
They know what their masters who sign their checks want, number one.
They know that.
Here's what my master wants me to do.
And I'm going to find a way to do it.
I'm not going to bring any proportion to it.
Now, as far as the gun violence in this country, I put forth, I think, the best solution.
It's a two-pronged solution.
By the way, I gave you my solution and you gave it no props at all, but you know my solution would work.
It's told you that your solution is right, that it can be funded on a local level with not a lot of problem.
What would you add to it or subtract from it?
I'm very interested.
Looking at the global view here, all gun crimes have to be federal crimes.
You've got to take it out of D.C. and Chicago and New York because they don't prosecute gun crimes.
You're caught with an illegal gun and you have a rap sheet in New York City.
Bragg's not going to prosecute you.
Chances are, and he's certainly not going to ask for bail.
So that's insane.
So if you make all gun crimes federal crimes with strict mandatory prison sentences, you cut it in half.
As far as the mentally ill are concerned, the states themselves, again, this is not a federal issue.
The mentally ill is a state issue.
And the states basically have to, on the high, on the assault rifle front, they have to have very stringent registration.
Not ban them, but if you want one, you've got to go through training.
And I know you have.
You have to basically do a background check, and the state's got to have a list of who has assault weapons ready in case somebody calls up the cops and say, hey, this guy's beaten up his weapon.
Bill, that's called the background check.
What do you want?
A gun registry?
You want a federal gun registry?
No, state.
You want a state gun registry?
Because I don't.
I know.
That is such an intrusion into people's privacy and lives.
And by the way, the overwhelming majority of gun owners like me are responsible gun owners.
Bill, I've carried a weapon my entire adult life.
We want people to be able to protect themselves under the Second Amendment, okay?
But the states have an obligation on assault weapons or bazookas or things like that to have a registration process.
All right.
Quick break, more with Simple Man Bill O'Reilly on the other side.
And then your calls 800-941-SHAWN if you want to be a part of the program today as we continue.
A word from the 46th president of the United States.
So the best way to get something done, if it holds near and dear to you, that you like to be able to.
Anyway.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right, we continue with Simple Man Bill O'Reilly, allthingsO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
If you were a liberal and you weren't a friend, I would ask you a question that I think would trip you up.
Go ahead, ask it.
You know, and that, and I'm not trying to do that.
We go, you know, we're friends, and I am definitely a stronger advocate of the Second Amendment than you are.
I've learned to shoot.
My mom was a prison guard since I was 10.
So, but my point is, how do you define an assault weapon?
Because I recently purchased, I have a gun collection.
To decide.
It's a public safety issue.
In New York, where we live, okay, you can't get an assault rifle.
Wrong.
It's impossible to get one.
Bill, wrong.
In the city?
Let me tell you what I have to do because I literally hired.
But you're not in the city.
I'm not in the city, but for New York State, I'm talking about.
Now, I can buy the same weapon that somebody would buy in, say, Tennessee or Florida.
And the only difference in 99% of the cases, I have to make or modify to obey the law, which I absolutely follow.
When they said you can only have seven bullets in your gun, not 10, I took out three.
Okay, that's right.
So, but I have there, most of them are cosmetic changes, Bill.
I know, because I pay a gunsmith money to comply with New York law.
I follow it to a T.
But Wyoming and Montana are different than New York.
There, in these rural areas, you may need a heavier weapon to protect yourself.
But the point is, it's the same gun with a cosmetic change that has no discernible impact on the firearm.
Okay.
Well, look, you know more about that than I do.
All I'm saying is the regulation, regulating weapons is a state function.
All right, Mr. O'Reilly, all things BillO'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
We appreciate your time, sir.
Thank you.
All right, fun.
Thanks.
All right, 25 now to the top of the hour.
Thank you for being with us.
Your call's coming up in just a second.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I want to remind all of you about the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, their promise is to do good and never forget the sacrifices America's heroes made for us.
And we're talking about people like our friend of this program, U.S. Air Force Senior Master Sergeant Israel Del Toro Jr.
Now, he made a promise to his dad and his son that son wouldn't grow up without his father.
And his Humvee exploded in Afghanistan.
He suffered severe burns, over 80% of his body.
He's a friend of the show with only 15% chance of survival.
He focused on that promise.
He later became the first fully disabled airman permitted to re-enlist.
And by the way, he was also a gold medal winner in the Invictus Games.
Now he shares his story to help others.
And thanks to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and your generous donations, Del Toro received a mortgage-free smartphone home for his house.
And it has a myriad of smart features to help him live more independently.
Anyway, heroes like Del Toro need help.
We owe them that help.
Well, join everyone here in the Hannity team, please, and join us.
They're asking for $11 a month.
That's all they want.
And if everybody steps up, guess what?
We can help all of these heroes.
Go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.
Now, we have discussed at length how this climate alarmist agenda, woke agenda of Biden and the radical socialist New Green Dealists and climate alarmist cultists have now overtaken every single aspect of government.
I mean, they are allocating funds in just about every single department in government for woke programs, for new Green Deal socialism programs.
Matt Gates, Congressman, Florida, confronted Defense Secretary General Austin over Drag Queen Story Hour going on at military bases.
I never thought I'd do this topic.
I started this business, what, in 1987, first time I ever got to a radio microphone.
And let me play that for you.
I guess my question is, how much taxpayer money should go to fund drag queen story hours on military bases?
You know, drag queen story hours is not something that the department funds.
Well, wait a second.
That's actually not what the record seems to suggest.
You were going to fund one at Ramstein Air Force Base.
That one got canceled, but that's DOD insignia.
That's a drag queen story hour for children.
Then also at Maelstrom Air Force Base outside of Great Falls, Montana, you had a drag queen story hour for kids.
At the Joint Base Langley-Eustis, you put on a drag queen story hour on a Saturday for the first ever kid-friendly diversity, equity, inclusion summer festival.
And at Nellis Air Force Base, you had the Drag UNELIS on June 17th.
Who funded these things, Mr. Secretary?
Listen, drag shows are not something that the Department of Defense supports or funds.
But why are they happening on military bases?
I just showed you the evidence.
Why are they happening?
I will say again, this is not something that we support or fund.
So you think hosting a Drag Queen Story Hour on a military base isn't supporting the Drag Queen Story Hour?
I stand by what I just said.
But you may stand by it, but it's belied by the evidence over and over again.
I cannot believe we're talking about our military here.
Meanwhile, China is building up their military.
I mean, they are out of control right now building up their military.
It's scary.
And by the way, Putin announcing he's going to deploy tactical nukes along Ukraine's border in Belarus.
That is a scary development for everybody.
What's Joe going to do?
General Milley admitted that it's not likely that Ukraine can win this war militarily.
Now is admitting that U.S. oversight of weapons going to Ukraine is not as rigorous as you might think, meaning everything we've been telling you, they're wasting money left and right when we should be spending that money.
If Europe doesn't want to chip in and they're not going to pay their fair share and they're not going to fight to win, it's time to pull out and say we're done.
Now, if they're willing to, if Europe's willing to do their part, and I mean really step up, and Joe's willing to take the handcuffs off, I'll reconsider.
But until then, no thank you.
China's now threatening our Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy, if he meets with the Taiwan president.
Are you kidding me?
We're going to listen to China's now latest threat.
Unbelievable.
You have a cabinet official of Biden forced to admit climate agenda is strengthening China.
I mean, Jennifer Granholm, you know, bragging about this.
I will say this, the Republicans, to their very credit, they have said we should no longer accept the classification of China as a developing nation.
Now, Biden's Pentagon can't afford to buy enough weapons and equipment, but they're spending hundreds of millions of dollars on diversity programs.
JusttheNews.com.
The Biden Pentagon is increasingly struggling to fill weapons and equipment requests just for the Ukraine war.
We're depleting our own, by the way, military preparedness.
At the same time, hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer funds, it's going to pay for ongoing diversity, equity, inclusion efforts in the military.
I've been sounding an alarm for months about shortcomings, shrinkages in our defense production capacity.
This is a Democratic senator, Richard Blumenthal.
These difficulties come as the Pentagon is focusing their attention and their funds on climate and equity initiatives.
Recent Department of Defense controllers' budget report shows that nearly $500 million in fiscal year 2023 will be spent on enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, accessibility programs, and addressing extremism in the ranks.
How about we build the meanest, baddest, toughest, kick-ass military with the most sophisticated military weaponry and technology ever created as a deterrent?
You got North Korea, they just launched a new weapon that can cause a radioactive tsunami.
We've been telling you over and over again what China is doing with their building up of weapons.
They're far more advanced than we are in terms of hypersonic technology.
Nation, another Latin America country has chosen China as well.
All right, let's get, let's see.
Skip in Florida.
Skip, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
What's going on?
Well, thanks, Sean.
You know, Bill could write a new book titled Killing the American Dream.
Well, that's going to be after he writes Killing Sean Hannity.
Well, his main characters, of course, could be our modern-day woke anarchists and then chronicle it through history back to McKinley, maybe even the post-war Civil Democrats.
What do you think?
Listen, the sad truth is, and I've said this to many people recently, I can't think of a time in my life that I've ever been this concerned about this country.
I just mentioned open borders, for example.
I mentioned, you know, we know for a fact that terrorists have been trying to get into this country and Joe has open borders.
You know what that means?
That means terror cells exist in this country.
You know what that means?
They are plotting, planning, scheming just for the right moment, the right time, and God only knows what this attack may end up looking like or being.
That should scare every American.
The fact that we gave up energy independence, that should scare every American.
The fact that we're useless on the world stage, that should scare everybody.
The alliance with China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, the Saudis, everyone's leaving the U.S. because they don't have confidence in Joe.
Everything we see about Joe, weak, frail, a cognitive mess, they see too.
And they're taking full advantage of it, hence the war with Putin.
Putin, by the way, funding the war because we have depleted, we literally have reduced dramatically the supply of energy in the world marketplace.
Well, that increases prices and profits.
Putin's getting filthy rich.
The Saudis' largest oil company last year had a record amount of profits, $167 billion, thanks to Joe Biden.
And why shouldn't they align with China?
Now China's going to buy their oil.
I've never been this concerned about our future, our kids' future, our grandkids' future than I am right now.
And there's only one thing that's going to fix it, and that's election victory in November of 2024.
And I can't, you know, I can't emphasize enough how Republicans better get their head out of their you-know-what, and get to work.
And they better embrace voting by mail, early voting, and they better get at least equal on par with the Democrats and legal ballot harvesting.
Hopefully, they'll build a more sophisticated and better system.
But, you know, nothing's happening so far.
Anyway, but what do you think?
Killing Hannity would be a bestseller, wouldn't it?
I mean, who's writing it?
Bill O'Reilly.
Simple man.
All right, Skip, we love you, man.
Thanks for checking in from Florida out in California.
John next, Sean Hannity show.
Where in California are you?
Southern Cal.
Southern Cal.
All right.
Well, there are places in Southern Cal that have a few normal people, not many.
Actually, you'd be surprised.
County of San Bernardino is one of those holdout conservative counties that, for whatever reason, Newsom hasn't been able to turn up into another communist substate.
But I digress.
I was calling because honestly, I was not a Trump fan.
And when I saw what he did, I was totally on board with him.
I just feel for the guy.
And I don't understand how if you're in his position, you want to endure this pain again.
You want to go through all the hell that they put him through when all he wanted to do was just, well, what he did, straighten things out, you know?
Listen, and look what it never has ended.
From the moment this guy came down the escalator, you know, now we have, let's see, he's got an investigation with the DA in Manhattan, although that looks like it might be put off for a month, which may suggest that there's just too much controversy around it and the case is too weak.
I don't know, though.
I wouldn't count on that.
Then he's got a civil case from 27 years ago, an allegation by, I guess, some former host someplace somewhere, I don't know, that somehow Donald Trump is being accused of sexual assault in a changing room in a department store with no physical evidence that I have heard of in the case.
And then, of course, you got Georgia, Fulton County.
I've read that entire transcript, and I don't see a case in any way, shape, manner, or form.
They just take out one paragraph and what was a very long phone call with a lot of details of where Donald Trump thought that they were making mistakes in terms of election integrity issues down in Georgia.
You may not agree.
It doesn't matter.
When he said, you know, he was talking about hundreds of thousands of votes.
He was explaining in detail, you know, 18,000 votes, you know, vacant addresses issues.
So, you know, they're out to get him.
And then you have a special counsel set up by Merrick Garland.
God only knows what they're looking into.
I have no doubt that's going to spread into other areas besides J6 and, you know, the raid at Mar-a-Lago and classified documents.
Interesting, though, we never hear about the special counsel appointed to look into Biden.
We only hear about the people going after Trump.
I know.
I know.
It just baffles me.
Like I said.
Listen, if I was him, I wouldn't run.
I asked him that question in my interview with him.
Why?
I think it actually, that part airs tonight.
Why bother?
Who needs this Adam Schiff?
Who needs it?
He gave a good answer.
I will say that.
Yep, I agree.
All right, my friend.
God bless you.
Even though you're out in the highest tax state in the country, I'm not far behind, by the way, so I have no right to criticize.
All right, quick break right back to the phones: 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
Up next, our final roundup and information overload hour.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
Let's see.
Rodney is in North Carolina.
What's up, Rodney?
How are you?
Hey, Sean, I'm well and hope you are.
I am.
Thank you.
Conversation today.
Yeah, great conversation today.
You spot on, right?
And that's what scares me, right?
I think what President Trump did, no matter how good it was, it was never going to be good enough because who he was.
And I hope everybody's happy.
We don't have mean tweets anymore, yay us.
But the reality is it's never been more critical that we win the White House than we do next year.
And the question is, can we do it with Trump, right?
I mean, as a country, we've softened.
And I just wonder, could we legitimately put him in office?
Yeah, I think you can win.
You know, look, there's too many unknowns at this point to make any prediction with any degree of certainty.
He is by far the frontrunner.
I mean, we don't even know.
I asked, look, I would prefer right now, especially that Republicans stay united and focused on Biden and Kamala Harris and this horrible agenda.
It's inevitable that when you have a primary, there's going to be fighting.
I'm not going to lie, I was a bit surprised at the extent of contentiousness between President Trump, who did a phenomenal job as president under the worst circumstances, constant, never-ending investigation.
And there's no doubt he did help Ron DeSantis in 2018.
And Ron DeSantis, in those four years, did a great job.
But it seems to me to be pretty personal on both sides.
And I wish it wasn't so.
But, you know, it is what it's going to be.
And it's really going to be up to every Republican to decide who they want, who they think the best candidate's going to be, don't you think?
Well, and I would totally agree.
And I think Trump proves in his four years that he moved the ball down the field.
And I think he certainly could again.
You know, look at the inflation and everything that's going on in our world right now.
You know, it's a stark contrast from what we had a few years ago.
And it's just so critical that we get somebody in office that can save our country because we're spiraling out of control right now.
We are spiraling out of control.
100%.
And to me, I understand politics.
I understand primaries.
I've been through a number of them.
They inevitably always get vicious and nasty.
It is called a blood sport for a reason.
I can handle it.
Many people don't like it.
People are telling me they don't like the infighting.
I can't stop it.
What am I going to do?
Have a summit and try and broker a piece?
I don't think anybody's going to listen to me.
All right, listen, in these tough economic times, you need to find every way possible to save money.
One surefire way to save money and not sacrifice service is make the switch to my cell phone company, a veteran-owned company called Pure Talk.
They also have the best customer service.
And the great thing is, you know, government's not going to help you.
So you got to find out your own ways to bring in more money and cut back on some spending.
The average family, when they switch to Pure Talk, is saving close to $1,000 a year.
Many families are even saving much more.
And the good part is Pure Talk, they use the exact same cell towers as does Verizon, ATT, and D-Mobile.
And they use the same 5G network, the exact same one.
You'll have the same number of bars on your phone.
You have the same exact coverage.
You pay about half the price.
If you look at your phone bill, you're probably paying 80 bucks a month per line to a company that doesn't really care about you.
PureTalk, you can get blazing fast data, unlimited talk and text for 30 bucks a month, no contract to sign, and 100% money-back guarantee.
Anyway, make the switch.
Join the hundreds of thousands of us in this stampede.
Just dial pound250.
Say the keyword save now.
Pound250, keyword save now from Pure Talk, simply smarter wireless.
