Leonard Skidders, simple man, self-proclaimed simple man, Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you today?
Good.
I'm just back from my power walk with Holly the Terror Dog.
Did you ever look on your phone and see, you know, you're supposed to walk 10,000 steps a day if you want to be in good heart shape.
And I know you're not a big worker out person like I am.
You don't work out that much.
So, but do you go you take your terror dog dog?
I assume it has the word terror, meaning that the dog bites people.
Is that why you call it the terror dog?
As a puppy, the dog almost destroyed the house and took got through to her that you know her lifespan was gonna be considerably shorter.
Oh man.
Wait a minute, but Bill, you're talking about killing a puppy here.
Stop.
Let me save you from yourself.
And hey, I mean, to care not being in shape.
I mean, come on, I have the same wayside I had in college.
Let's go.
I mean, I'm moving.
I'm not a kung fu guy, but I'm moving.
I'm I'm getting around.
I'm for an old guy.
How many times do I have to tell you I'm not a kung fu guy that I do mixed martial arts and eclectic bent blend of it, uh situational street fighting, boxing.
We use sticks, blades, and firearms in our training, and you never come to my dojo to train with us.
Do you want me to say all that?
I mean, isn't it easier to be just a kung fu guy?
No, I don't want to be called a kung fu guy because that is factually inaccurate, and I know words matter because you believe in the word of the day.
I do.
All right.
Mixed martial arts, an eclectic blend.
Not difficult to remember.
All right.
I I got it.
Eclectic.
Eclectic, big word of the day.
Um, I wish I was as happy about the state of the country.
Let me I I want to get serious uh on this because I feel I'm in a very serious frame of mind.
I've never been more worried about the future of this country than I am right now, Bill.
And I'll tell you why.
Now it's a little bit of a lead up, and then I promise I'm gonna hand you the ball and let you go.
A lot of it has to do with the economy.
Seventy percent of Americans feel financially stressed.
Twenty-five percent of Americans uh are struggling to put even you know food on their table every night.
Two thirds of Americans live in paycheck to paycheck.
That's part of it.
Then I'm watching world events because Joe Biden is out looking at castles in Ireland, which is a lovely thing to do.
I've never done it, I bet you have.
I just have not had time.
And then that's fine, but in the meantime, President Xi has now aligned himself with Vladimir Putin and Iran.
We now see that the sphere of influence is expanding to Latin America, to Cuba, to uh Africa and other countries.
We now see that China brokered a deal with the Saudis and the Iranians, and now the Saudis and the Syrians.
And in the last two days, yesterday we learned that Egypt that was part of our coalition, the U.S., Israel, Egypt, Jordan, the Saudis, and the Emirates.
Uh Egypt is now providing weaponry to Vladimir Putin.
And this and the UAE now has chosen sides as well.
Here's my premise.
Tell me if I'm wrong.
I believe that we're watching a new world order appear before our eyes.
I believe this is a new emerging access of evil.
I believe it's more dangerous than at any time in history because of the weaponry that now exists.
Modern technology has advanced so much in terms of weaponry.
And I see that this this new axis of evil is hell bent on making China the most dominant uh country on the face of the earth and displacing the United States, including our currency.
Tell me where I'm wrong.
Well, uh I mean, the most important foreign policy thing in the last couple of weeks was Macron basically throwing Biden under the bus about Taiwan.
That that's part of it, but to me that's the least significant part.
But go ahead.
Because McCron never would have done that had Trump been president in a million years, because it would have been a reprisal to do that.
So you basically, McCron is saying to the world and to Europe, we're not gonna really back America if it goes to Taiwan's defense.
That's big.
Because China, in order to have the perception that it is the superpower of the world, has to humiliate the United States.
And the way that China wants to humiliate the United States is to take over Taiwan and have America basically stand down and allow it to happen.
that this is all very well thought out.
It's been in motion for years.
You can counter all that, particularly economically, against China.
They have vulnerabilities.
It's not like these people are invincible.
They're not.
We're seeing that with Russia and Ukraine now.
Putin's unraveling his entire country for nothing, and he's not going to win Ukraine.
But when you have a president as ineffective as Joe Biden, as weak as Biden, and you're right.
I mean, he's over in Ireland on a taxpayer-funded vacation.
He's not doing anything that is going to help we the people.
And I don't begrudge him the vacation.
Just admit it, that you're taking one.
I'm going to Ireland again in June.
It's one of the nicest places on the planet.
But what we have over there is Biden basically being kept away from the press.
When was the last time you saw a president of the United States go and have a meeting with the Prime Minister of England and the President of Ireland and not hold a press conference?
I can't remember when that had ever happened.
And by the way, even the press is frustrated about this.
They're lashing out at Karin Jean-Pierre, uh, who had to defend herself denying the the White House is trying to protect Biden from press questions when we know it's true.
By the way, you saw my interview with tr uh Trump.
Right.
We saw Tucker's interview with Trump, or at least port parts of it.
And do you think Joe Biden could do an interview like that?
Uh no, I mean Trump's much more glib than Biden is.
Um and Biden can't hold two thoughts together in his mind at the same time, which is why they don't put him out there.
The only thing Joe Biden can do is read words off the teleprompter.
And he doesn't even know half the time what he's reading, but he can read them at this point.
In a year from now, he might not be able to do that.
That's how quickly he's declining in mental acuity.
But what what is really frightening about this whole situation is that our enemies abroad are gonna test us in the next year, because they don't know what's coming up behind Biden.
I don't even think Biden's gonna run again.
I've told you this uh a number of times.
Um I know that the Democratic Party understands his position.
That's just why he doesn't explain anything, because he cannot explain it.
You use the clip of him in the Easter egg roll.
I mean, he can barely get the words out of his mouth.
And Jill Biden was was welded to his shoulder during that thing with Roker.
He always has somebody with him.
But here's the kicker on Ireland.
Who shows up in Ireland?
Hunter on Air Force One.
That's an in your face, Hannity.
He's under criminal investigation in Delaware, and by the House of Representative that they didn't mention it.
The Associated Press has not mentioned it, which tells me that the cover is still there.
Protect the Bidens at all costs.
You know, you're raising a lot of points, but this is my bigger fear.
My bigger fear is America has has been the leader not only of the free world, but of the entire world now for a long period of time.
And I feel that that leadership is being directly threatened.
I I just went over in great specificity and detail uh that we, the United States, do not seem to know the thr how real this threat is.
China is now ready to fight.
Uh they're showing on state TV their plans to destroy Taiwan or take over Taiwan.
Uh meanwhile, we are struggling with you know, US special forces, UK special forces in Ukraine because we have this massive uh leaked uh Pentagon documents compromising our national security.
And now we're being threatened repeatedly by China uh in terms of if we dare lift a finger to help Taiwan, our ally, that they will smash us, that they will destroy us.
They are not hiding what their intentions are here.
And just like we watched the lead up to Putin's invasion of Ukraine, I think we are watching the lead up to China taking over Taiwan, and they are telling the U.S. openly that we will destroy you if you dare lift a finger.
And President Macron announcing that France won't help.
Well, I think our answer should be fine.
You take care of Ukraine.
It's in your c it's on your continent, not ours.
Well, McCrone should have been slapped down immediately by American authorities, but I'm not so sure that China's ready to go into Taiwan.
Um, but you gotta look at it this way.
What's the downside of of uh China being bellicose toward the United States?
There's no downside.
Biden's not gonna do anything about it.
They know he's weak.
That balloon thing was a test.
And right after the balloon thing, then we got the drone destroyed by Russia.
Biden hasn't said a word about that.
Not one word has he said about it there's been no consequences, Bill.
Bill, if I punched you in the face, you'd at least try to punch me back, right?
No, I kick you in the groin.
You wouldn't get there.
Okay.
But I try.
You try, exactly.
You do something, you fight back, you wouldn't just take it.
Yeah.
So there's no downside for China to saber rattle, but there is a downside if they do the Taiwan thing, a big downside, because their economy will ground to a halt, and believe me, they know what's going on with Putin.
They know this isn't working out real well for him.
So I'm not convinced they're at the stage where they're gonna launch any kind of offensive action against Taiwan.
But here's another point I want to make.
More people know about the Bud Trans controversy, the Bud Light Tran controversy, then know about the Chinese threat.
By the way, you know who's on my show tonight?
The trans person.
No, Riley Gaines.
Oh, the um woman who's getting uh hammered by the trans people.
Right.
Well, she's saying that biological men should not be competing in women's sports, and by the way, Caitlin Jenner agrees with that.
And the North Carol North Dakota has just passed a law yesterday.
Yeah.
Um but but my point is that the American people bear some responsibility for all of this chaos.
Number one, they voted for Biden.
And okay, you didn't like Trump, I understand.
But now the repudiation isn't as solid as it should be.
Yes, Biden's down at 40, 38 of job approval rating, but he should be at 18.
Just a fanatical leftist propping him up.
So if you think that Joe Biden's doing a good job, then I don't think you should have the ability to vote anymore, because that's insane.
Okay, it's insane, but you know, do you know they're gonna vote?
Listen, I'm gonna hope, Bill, and I'll even pray that you're right that you don't think this is imminent with this taking over Taiwan.
Uh I think that this new what I'm calling axis of evil is real, and I think the def defection of Egypt and the Saudis and the Emirates are are an indication that they are making a bet, a long-term bet, that China's gonna win this battle to be the world's most dominant player uh uh or at least be the most dominant player on the world stage.
I hope you're I hope you're right and I'm wrong.
Because I think that's what's unfolding.
Well, they're hedging the best, there's no doubt about that.
But remember, you know, the uh conventions are in August.
Um, you know, this is coming up fast now, uh, to get Biden out of there.
Um and it's gonna be complicated because of Trump's polarization.
Uh Trump is a much better president, was a much better president, whatever.
There's no comparison between the two men.
And I keep telling my liberal friends, look, you can hate Trump all you want.
But look at look at the state of the country after twenty-seven months under this Biden who doesn't know what the way, if all this happens before twenty twenty four, that could lead to a victory for Donald Trump in my view if he's not entangled, you know, legally with you know a multitude of of the tsunami of legal d uh challenges against him.
So I mean, I think that's impacting his ability to run.
Um anyway, Mr. O'Reilly, I wish I wish it was a more lighthearted uh topic.
Um it's always great to hear your voice.
Hope you're doing well.
When's the new book, Killing Hannity coming out?
Um killing the witches, and I don't know if you associate with any witches.
No, I'm I'm a Christian.
Go ahead.
But it's a history book.
It's not it's more than you think.
You should get a copy in about a month, uh, you know, an advanced copy, and I know it takes you a little while to get to it since you're, you know, fighting all these people every morning, but I'm gonna send you one of the first ones.
I want the first one off the printer.
You know, first print edition of O'Reilly's Killing the Witches.
You get the you'll get the galley first, and I think you'll be impressed by it.
All right, Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly, BillO'Reilly.com, sir.
Always appreciate you being with us.
Thank you.

You know, protecting your retirement savings can be very challenging.
And you know, I actually met with the people at Phoenix uh Capital Group, and they, as most smart financial advisors, uh recommend diversifying your investments and doing it right now.
Uh and after I watched a webinar that they do a couple times a week, I I was kind of blown away.
And I sent it to my financial guys.
They were blown away too.
They liked it as well.
Uh I always urge you to do your own dil due diligence.
And the thing is they recommend high value U.S. oil and gas investments, and yet they work on such a small scale, they're working on the state level, which has far less impact in terms of the federal government's ability to do anything with them.
You gotta watch this webinar.
It's great.
Uh, but anyway, there are regulation A Plus, Regulation D Corps bond offerings with different maturities, qualifications, and rates.
They even have a nine percent APY starting at five thousand dollars, and that's an investment open to any investor.

My financial people liked it, and I think you'll like it as well.
We'll continue.
Sean Hannity.
All right, when we come back, wide open telephones 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
By the way, COVID emergency is officially over.
That means Joe would actually have to go back to Congress and get approval for his student loan forgiveness, because that's what he was using to justify that insane amount of money.
You sign the dotted line, you you guarantee you'll pay it.
I shouldn't have to pay your bill.
Working every day to remember the forgotten man.
This is the Sean Hannity show.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
We got a lot of other news that I found interesting today.
So Elon Musk, Elon Musk is is interesting.
I just find him as a modern day innovator.
Um, you know, you can go back and and the men that built America, that series and the the Fords and the Carnegie Mellons and the Rockefellers and by the you know, all the impressions people have of them are so off and so wrong.
Uh but anyway, so he's being interviewed by BBC.
Uh this is just this is classic.
Listen.
Content you don't like or hateful.
What do you mean to describe a hateful thing?
Yeah, uh I mean, you know, just content that will solicit a a reaction, something that may include something that is slightly racist or slightly sexist, those kinds of those kinds of things.
So you think if something is slightly sexist, it should be banned.
I noticed.
Is that what you're saying?
I'm not saying anything.
I'm saying I'm trying to try to say what you mean by hateful content.
And I'm asking for specific examples.
Um you just said that if something is slightly sexist, that's hateful content.
Does that mean that it should be banned?
Well, you've asked me you've asked me whether my feed, whether it's got less or more.
I'd say it's got slightly more.
That's why I'm asking for examples.
Can you name one example?
I I honestly don't need a single example.
I'll tell you why, because I don't actually use that for you feed anymore because I just don't particularly like it.
You said a lot of people a lot of people are quite similar.
I I I only said you've seen more hateful content, but you can't name a single example.
Not even one.
I'm not sure I've used that feed for the last three or four weeks, and I've got to be.
Because I've been I've been using a I've been using Twister since you've taken it over for the last six months.
Okay, so then you must have at some point seen it you for your hateful content.
I'm asking for one example.
Right.
And you can't give a single one.
And I'm saying I've then I I say so that you don't know what you're talking about.
Really?
Yes, because you can't be a single example of hateful content, not even one tweet.
And yet you claimed that the hateful content was high.
Well, that's a false.
No.
What I could just lied.
What no?
What I claim was uh there are many uh organizations that say that that kind of information is on the rise.
Now, whether whether it has a micro.
I mean, I mean, literally can't get something like the str the uh strategic dialogue uh institution in the U in the UK.
They will say that.
So you look, is people will say all sorts of nonsense.
I'm literally asking for a single example, and you can't name one.
Right.
And as I already said, I don't use that feed.
But let's then how did you know that?
I don't think this is getting anything.
You literally said you experienced more hateful content and then couldn't name a single example.
Right.
And as I said, that's absurd.
I haven't I haven't actually looked at that feed.
Then how would you know if it's hateful content?
Because I'm saying that's what I saw a few weeks ago.
I can't give you an exact example.
Let's move on.
He moved on and he left the interview and he said, That's it, checkmate, we're done.
Do you know what this reminded me of?
So I saw this this morning, and I'm just saying.
I know what it reminded you of the two liberal callers who said this week.
And yesterday, you talking to that guy, and he could first of all, he couldn't answer a single question, and you kept asking him, okay, so he does amazing things.
He's the best president ever.
You love him so much.
You hate Donald Trump.
I got it.
What are the things?
And he's like, um uh Donald Trump's the worst.
That's what that was his answer.
And other disgusting things that he said were because he couldn't think of name a thing.
I I gave him half credit on one item, like was uh like ridiculous.
Um anyway, it just shows how people are wrong.
Oh, by the way, some news, the tough justice department of uh Joe Biden is offered uh a sweetheart deal to a vandal who admitted to defacing a Catholic church with profound graffiti F Catholics and destroying a statute of the Virgin Mary and assaulting a chur church worker and resisting arrests.
And by the way, no jail time for the transvandal.
That's what they're calling it.
Now, when are we gonna get the manifesto?
Uh when are we gonna get the manifesto of this this shooter in Tennessee?
I'd like to see the manifesto of the shooter in Tennessee.
I really would.
And so far, no luck whatsoever at all.
There's a part of me that I will tell you very honestly that I just don't know that I want to give this individual any more light.
You know, we've got Kamala down there, she can't visit with the shooting victims.
We have Biden, he can't visit with the people in East Palestine.
I think we need to spend more time talking about the afflicted as opposed to the person that hurts.
I'm kind of like, everybody wanted to talk about the two guys that didn't follow the house rules and as well they want to march as allowed by the margin in the street today.
Okay, so let them march away.
Have fun.
I'm sure it'll be a very peaceful protest.
Oh, very peaceful.
Not peaceful, they'll still call it peaceful.
So what difference does it make?
Listen, how is your Mantis X training going?
Uh are you have you been keeping up or no?
Let me tell you something.
This is a God's honest truth.
Mantisex, by the way, all the world's best shooters use this.
It's called dry fire practice.
It is a firearm training system, no ammo, all electronic.
It attached is it you attach it to your own firearm, and you can use it at home on the range, and it gives you data-driven real time feedback on your technique, guide you through drills and courses.
You started it out at an at a nine out of a hundred.
Where are you now?
How are you improving?
Do you want me to talk now?
Are you ready for me?
I'm just explaining to people what you're saying.
No, I just, you know, because I've said let me tell you something, and then you told them something.
So I just want to make sure you're ready for me to tell them something.
So I'm gonna tell you that I'm doing very well, and I do it every single day, and I'm at a consistent seventy-eight to eighty.
That's pretty much definitely wounding an intruder.
I'm wounding him.
He's gonna limp, he's gonna limp around the house to get me.
You know, he's not gonna run full speed.
You you were not the best athlete in school, were you?
Oh my God.
You do you have no idea how clumsy I am.
I'm a wonderful dancer.
I did that for a very long time.
But I cannot know.
No.
No, like I'd be that person in the audience that would get hit in the head with the football.
And what was my first attempt at ma using Mantis X?
I thought you were gonna say throwing the football when you hit that person in the head.
Um, you got a hundred.
I got a hundred.
All right, here's the bottom line.
Our our Marine Corps uses it, the Army uses it, special forces uses it.
Military grade technology at an affordable price.
If you believe in your second amendment rights, you've got to act on your second amendment responsibilities to be competent and confident in your shooting ability.
Check it out today.
You're gonna love it.
It's fun.
You do it with your friends, your family, your neighbors.
Mantis X dot com is the website, M A N T I S X dot com.
All right, so no jail time for this person.
You know, this this whole issue of John Rich and Kid Rock and and other conservators, Travis Trent, they've had it with Bud Light over this trans activist, Dylan Mulvaney's pack and the fact that I guess they partnered with this person.
I don't even know who this person is.
I I don't even know what a what are these c they call these people influencers?
Influencers.
Okay, I'm an influencer.
You know, one of the things why aren't why isn't Bud Light and Anheuser Bush advertising on my radio and TV show?
But they don't want to.
Well, is my my radio and TV show.
Let me tell you something.
I drink beer, I drink light beer.
You know what I'm drinking now?
I'm drinking Coors Light beer.
Because cores doesn't insult, you know, go against my political values.
If they really want to be inclusive, why are conservatives never included in the inclusiveness?
Doesn't sound too inclusive.
But by the way, listen, in St. Louis, it's I hear it is an unmitigated disaster.
You know, their foray into politics has ended in a disaster.
And truck drivers that that have routes and rely on selling, you know, Bud, Wiser.
Guess what?
It ain't happening.
And these guys now this may last forever.
Riley Gaines is, you know, she keeps speaking out about not allowing biological men to compete in women's sports.
Caitlyn Jenner just started a new pack for that very same purpose and has been very critical of those attacking Riley Gaines.
Who, you know, look, I know because my kids are athletes.
They start at a young age.
They practice every single solitary day in the hope that they might be able to compete in college.
In some cases, the Olympics, in some cases, a professional sport.
This is not a small amount of work.
Anyway, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program, let's go to our busy phones.
John in New York.
John, hi.
How are you?
Glad you called.
Good afternoon.
I'm doing well.
I have a question.
All I hear about is Soros DA, Soros DA, Soros DA.
What about the root cause of all this?
Well, Soros for the record, so we can be very clear, denies that he is directly funded people like Alvin Bragg.
However, he did give a million dollar donation to Color of Change, and that money ended up in Alvin Bragg's account.
So, you know, you can argue that uh, well, if he didn't donate to Color of Change, they wouldn't have had the money to donate to Bragg.
But uh and then I also read this week that apparently George Soros has his son who has open access to the Biden White House, which shouldn't shock anybody either.
Well, we do have a Soros attorney general at the moment, I guess.
Well, you know, look, as far as I'm concerned, uh you've got to understand the amount of money that Democrats have seems unlimited.
Where is it all coming from?
I don't know.
But Democrats are running very different campaigns.
They're run not running that on the notion that they have a better vision, a better plan, better ideas for the country.
They they they they run and they hide in their basement as much as they can, avoid debates as often as they can, only debate after voting is started and and taken place for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Uh hundreds of millions of dollars are spent on negative ad campaigns against Republicans, but then you have all these states with legal ballot harvesting laws, and that's where all their efforts are going.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
Uncovering evil and defending the truth.
You're on the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, back to our phones.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Greg in New Mexico.
Greg, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
It's an honor to talk to you.
Um, you know, I'm like you, I am very worried about this country.
And and, you know, we're talking about conflicts with China over Taiwan, and and I think that the Chinese are in a position that it's all or nothing.
Any con planned conflict with the U.S. has to come with a occupation plan in the U.S. And the reason I think that is because immediately we would cut off buying things from China and we would freeze their assets here.
And I don't think their economy could take that hit or they want to take that hit.
And um, you know, so that they, you know, they already have plans to, you know, to occupy this country to take our assets.
And I think the flip side is even worse, is that you know, we quit buying things from China and we don't have transformers.
We don't have electrical switch gear, we don't have electronics, we don't have pharmaceuticals.
We you know, I could go on and on.
And um, you know, and we already know our our entire grid is vulnerable.
I mean, a couple months ago somebody took out two large substations just by shooting through the chain link fence.
And um, you know, and so you know, our southern border has let in a bunch of Chinese and terrorists, and you know, it makes me very afraid.
I think that our government would go faced with, you know, well, you want electricity, you give up, and I think would give up.
Yeah.
Look, you can explain it my flaw in my logic.
Let me let me tell you something.
China is owning us, and what all the evidence you need is that the Saudis made a conscious decision to leave the American built coalition of the US, Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi, and and uh the UAE, the emirates.
And now we see that the Saudis have have agreed to partner through a deal brokered by China with Syria and Iran.
Uh, we see Egypt is now giving money, our money.
We give them billions of dollars a year.
They're giving their military equipment to Vladimir Putin.
Uh, and now we learn today that the UAE, they too have made a conscious choice to abandon the American coalition because they're picking the winner, and they've determined the reason they're making this choice is they've determined they don't want to be on the wrong side of who comes out the winner here.
And they're picking they're picking China, you know, being the ultimate winner and the more dominant, you know, world superpower.
That's what they have decided.
And I I you you can see how hostile uh that China has gotten with the U.S. and Joe's not lifting a finger.
And I'll tell you when they take Taiwan, and it looks like that day's coming closer every day.
The U.S. won't be able to lift a finger.
They won't do a damn thing.
And then if they take out one of our Navy ships, what are they gonna do then?
We're gonna go to war with China.
Uh not a good time for this country.
Scary time, as a matter of fact.
Uh Joe in El Paso.
Thank you, Greg in New Mexico.
Joe, how are you?
I'm doing well.
I you know, I like your saying, not don't let your heart be troubled.
Can I am troubled with the United States?
So am I to be honest.
My heart's troubled.
