High than a jail on.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
That's why today I am directing our House Committee to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden.
I'm not voting there's a lot of people.
I'm not voting to fund the government because Republicans and Democrats have spent too much.
Like I think holding hostage in impeachment inquiry is wrong.
He may have a gay plan.
He just hasn't shared it with me.
But I tell you what, I don't know about you, but I'm gonna go to bed.

Sean Hannity new Sean Hannity Show.
More behind-the-scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
We'll be right back.
If you can't hear me All right, Leonard Skinner's Simple Man, all things.
Leonard Skinnard, when you hear that music, it means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Uh Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
Welcome back to the program.
Uh still trying to process this Aaron Rogers thing.
Oh man.
You know, I as uh long suffering in the I kind of give up on the Jets usually by week three or four, and it's over.
And then I start looking at teams that I'm interested in.
I've always liked Tampa a little bit, and you know, I'd like good stories to follow, but uh I feel bad for Aaron.
I feel bad for the Jets, and you know, this they could have really been contenders in my view this year.
The defense was phenomenal.
They have great running backs, maybe improved their offensive line a little bit, that would have helped.
Well, I feel sorry for Woody Johnson, who owns the Jets.
He's of course the former ambassador of the Quarter St. James in Great Britain under Trump.
Very good guy.
No, he's a great guy.
I've met him.
And you know, Woody has put everything he can into the team.
Um and then four plays into the season, he's got his uh 70 million dollar quarterback in a boot, a walking boot for the rest of the season.
So what I did on the No Spin News, uh, my TV broadcast is I said, look, this could happen to any human being at any time, and we all have to be prepared for that.
It's called sudden disaster.
People have to toughen themselves up mentally and emotionally because sudden disaster hits almost everybody at one time or another in their lives.
And I think that point is worth considering.
You know, it's like the road less traveled.
I think one of the best self-help books ever, written by a psychiatrist uh by the name of M. Scott Peck.
And the first line in that book is life is difficult.
You and once you accept that we're all gonna face trials, tribulations, difficulties in life, it's a paradox, life gets easier.
You know, you often hear me say, let not your heart be troubled, Bill.
I I'll tell you why my heart's troubled today.
It really is in so many different ways.
I'm looking at this country deteriorating right before our eyes.
Now we have the second straight month in a row with major increases in inflation.
We see gas prices now up to four bucks a gallon on average, hundred dollar a barrel uh for oil around the country.
We see now the Saudis OPEC saying no, we're not increasing production at all after they cut it dramatically.
The poverty rate is now the highest and increases for the first time four point six percentage points since twenty ten, the highest point ever.
And add to that, you know, you've got a panicked White House, a disastrous press conference in Hanoi, which any objective American would say was embarrassing and humiliating for our country with Joe Biden over there.
Now the Washington Post, one of his biggest supporters, David Ignatius is saying Biden should not run again.
Open borders, we expect some eight million total people that have come into this country illegally, no background checks.
Uh we caught a few people on the terror watch list.
How many people are setting up terror cells in the country?
Uh then we have Biden now paying ransom for American hostages.
They say it's six billion, but when you really dig deep into the numbers, it could be closer to fifty billion dollars that Joe Biden is freeing up for the mullahs of Iran at a time when they're only, you know, months away from having as many as ten nuclear weapons.
Uh we're following this story about a whistleblower, the CIA, uh alleging that the CIA was offering officials money to change their views on the COVID origins.
They all knew it was the Wuhan lab.
Uh that scares me about how corrupt our government is.
Uh they want to put a former president on trial four times in an election year, and now we have a full-on legitimate uh impeachment inquiry into the current president, and and I think he's guilty as hell based on the evidence we have now, but I believe in innocence until proven guilty.
We'll give him the benefit of the doubt there, but you know, our country's going to hell, Bill.
You know, look at John Kennedy reading, you know, did you did you hear him reading?
I saw it on your show.
Yeah.
Um, you know, I do a weekly segment on News Nation with Chris Cuomo, and the reason I do that is because I've heard one.
It's very instructive.
And uh but I want to uh reach uh an audience that might not hear or see me ordinarily, and I do on News Nation.
But I've noticed that when I debate uh Mr. Cuomo, who I like by the way, um by the way, I like him too.
He's a nice it off the air, he's a nice guy.
On the air, he's a he's he swears he's not left wing, but he is.
Um well he comes from a certainly a uh democratic family, everybody knows that.
But it's emotion, emotion, emotion.
And that that's the big change in this country.
Um so as a historian, I can see the change that, for example, when you uh had uh Jimmy Carter running for re-election against Ronald Reagan, which is is a real good parallel to Joe Biden's uh re-election you know campaign this year.
I don't think he's gonna be the nominee, but it's it's Carter and Biden are are very similar.
Biden's a lot worse, in my opinion, than Carter because Carter was honest anyway.
But it the motion wasn't there in the electorate.
It was basically, okay, Carter has failed.
We don't want to stand in gas lines anymore.
We know that there's a severe recession, we're not doing well, so we'll vote for Reagan.
We may not like Reagan, he's an actor, we might not think he's great, but let's give somebody else a chance.
Well, that's all all out the window now.
Because the democratic argument is no matter what Biden has done or will do, he's not as bad as Trump.
So it doesn't matter how much evidence you compile about Joe Biden's grifting and helping his family.
It doesn't matter to uh the Democratic Party.
You won't get one vote, not one vote in the House of Representatives, to investigate Joe Biden by an inquiry.
That should not even be the goal of re of the Republicans, Bill.
Uh you you know how closely I've been following this.
You know I can go into chapter verse depth and detail on every single issue involving this, and And we've done a very deep investigative dive, and the evidence is now becoming very overwhelming and incontrovertible.
Uh but wait, listen to me for a minute.
Yes, sir.
Why are you cranky today?
There's no doubt in any rational person's mind that Joe Biden used his power as vice president to enrich his family.
The doubt is how he himself benefited, but you must investigate that.
And the point is the Democrats don't want to investigate it.
They don't care what he did.
And their rationale is no matter what he did, even if he took ten million dollars, he's not as bad as Trump.
That's emotional.
Now McCarthy should hold a vote in the full House for this inquiry because he said he would, and he wanted to separate himself from Nancy Pelosi.
So he should do it.
And even if they don't get the majority to vote on the inquiry, that doesn't stop the three committees.
three committees can continue to do what they want to do the the problem is there's maybe about five or six republicans and they have such a slim majority that i don't think it's going to get through the benefit for republicans bill as you know is it gives them more investigative powers and authority that they otherwise wouldn't have uh and they've been so reluctant to cooperate on every level within the biden administration it's almost like they had to Let me just point out one thing.
You you raised a good question, and that is, you know, the issue that you believe that they need to now prove that Joe himself benefited.
But I will point out to you, and we've interviewed many attorneys on this, the statute's very clear.
Any action that he took as vice president, using leveraging a billion dollars, firing a prosecutor six hours, son of a bee, they did it, one of the one of the main consequences of that was his son continued to get paid while a drug addict while also admitting he had no experience in energy or Ukraine.
So the family, you're right, you use the proper word, was enriched as a result of his actions.
The statute doesn't require that Joe be the beneficiary.
Secondly, and last point, I want your thoughts on this.
The important part of all of this, when you look at the amount of money, Nancy Mace thinks it'll be north of fifty million by the time we get through all of this, the amount of money going to this family.
And the shell corporations and grandchildren getting paid.
And what did any of them do for for this these massive amounts of money?
The Biden brand clearly wasn't Hunter.
It was Joe.
But when you actually look at Biden's actions, did he take specific actions?
That's exactly what this well-respected FBI informant said and chronicled an exact conversation with the CEO of Barisma.
Your your f your take.
Okay, and the FBI did not investigate what their own informer told them, which is almost a big a scandal as the Biden family.
Look, in this case with Joe Biden being accused of enriching his family, which I believe he did and you believe he did, it has to be a hearts and minds thing.
For the American voter who is not informed, who may be in a bubble of people like in California, Coastal California, where they all think the same.
It has to be very, very clear, and I'll go back in history again.
The tapes, the Nixon oval office tapes that crushed him.
You're gonna need some kind of evidence like that against Joe Biden s to win all the hearts and minds you're gonna have to win for a Republican landslide in twenty-four.
But you may get it.
You may get it.
I I don't think you need the smoking gun, and I don't even think that Republicans have any illusion that they'll get a conviction in the Senate, assuming that the House in fact will end up impeaching him.
Here's here though is what they are doing that I believe is wise.
Now it's interesting that only sixty percent that now sixty plus percent of the American people believe that he was involved in these business deals that he denied and lied about repeatedly.
You know, Bill, there's only been really I I would say the tip of the spear has been my shows, radio and TV, and and that many people knowing gives me some optimism.
But by November of twenty four, if Joe's the candidate, which is my next question to you, will he be?
If Joe is the candidate, they will associate Joe Biden with a bribery, a money laundering scandal that he's not going to be able to avoid.
And and in many ways I would argue that would cancel out these four possible criminal trials that would take place in election year with Trump, which I don't think should happen or can happen.
He'll avoid it by not speaking to the press, because he doesn't do that, and by campaigning the same way he can.
Campaign in 20, not leaving his home.
And and the whole Democratic platform will be he's better than Trump.
And what the real crux of this matter is, is that there is a large segment of this country voting folks who really don't care about the country anymore.
They're voting for whatever they think is going to enrich them, or what satisfies their emotions.
And so that you're or what or what party will give them more.
In other words, they there are many people that want to empower government to take one group of people's money and give it to them.
Sure, income redistribution.
Barack Obama was a poster boy for that.
In one of my interviews with him, he admitted it.
So you know, we are in a different political climate than we have ever been in this country, with the possible exception of the Civil War, because the South was so invested in keeping slavery in packed, which was insane.
And now you have an entire party, the Democratic Party, and the Justice Department combined, who do not want to know if Joe Biden was corrupt.
They don't want to know.
And it's shocking.
All right, quick break more with Simple Man Bill O'Reilly, All Things O'Reilly of Bill O'Reilly.com on the other side as we continue.

25 to the top of the hour.
Our final question with Bill O'Reilly coming up in mere moments.
You know, I've always said about abortion, it is a heart issue at the end of the day.
In other words, you change people's hearts.
This is what pre-born is all about.
They're you using science and they're changing hearts.
And what they do is actually genius.
Uh they are offering an expecting uh mom uh a free ultrasound, 4D ultrasound.
And what they're discovering is is that once the expecting mom meets the child growing inside of their womb, and they get to hear that heartbeat, and they get to count those fingers and toes because of the the high definition of 4D and and see facial features.
Yeah, guess what's happening?
Uh moms that might have been considering abortion are like, no way, they are bringing that life uh to fruition.
And the great thing is is pre-born is also there after the baby's born.
They have counseling services if needed.
They offer, if you need help with with diapers and baby formula, whatever it is, they're gonna help you out.
I mean, it's a great mission.
They don't get a penny from the federal government, not one cent.
It's only because of your generosity that this great mission continues.
Uh I just bought and purchased two 4D ultrasound machines for for two of their centers that needed them desperately.
But whatever you can donate, know that it's going for a great cause.
Expecting moms don't pay a penny.
Just dial pound two fifty on yourself, say the keyword baby, pound two fifty, keyword baby, or check out their website.
It's pre-born.com slash sean.
That's preborn.com slash Sean today.
Uh all right, we continue.
Uh simple man Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly, Bill O'Reilly.com.
We continue with him.
So here's my big question for you, and it has to do with Joe Biden, your president.
Um, so David Ignatius, I think you will agree with me.
I don't think there's going to be any argument.
One of the president's most ardent supporters in the media by far, writes a column about Joe Biden.
He doesn't want Joe Biden to run.
He said President Biden should not run again in 2024.
Now, I said at the time when Maureen Dowd wrote an excoriating piece about Joe Biden not recognizing his own four-year-old granddaughter in Arkansas and how heartless and soulless that was.
I said that might be the canary in the coal mine.
Let's see how many other prominent liberal voices uh start to follow suit.
And the next thing I saw was, well, just happening in the last week and a half, uh, the comments of people like Van Jones and David Axarod.
He took a couple of shots of Biden and James Carville, and then I noticed that the media mob, they actually seemed like they were reading Hannity transcripts and even Politico, the Washington Post, the New York Times did articles on what I call the Biden family syndicate, or if you're in Fulton County, Georgia, Enterprise.
And so I said once those dominoes begin to fall, Bill O'Reilly, it's probably going to be over for Joe.
That eventually he will have to bail out of this race.
Even Liberal Joe on MSDNC said he revealed that every single Democrat he talks to that he and Mika talked to, say Biden is too old to run.
We all s we can see he's deteriorating before our eyes.
We saw that on display in in Vietnam last week.
So the big question, and a big lead up to you, the big question is, is this now the beginning of the end?
Will the Democrats take out Biden as their nominee?
Kind of like it wasn't Republicans that removed Andrew Cuomo as governor, it was the Democrats.
Do you think now that it is more likely than not that that happens?
I don't think Biden's gonna run.
I think he'll resign for health reasons.
I think there'll be pressure put upon him by the party, the Democratic Party.
By the way, it was very nice of you to buy those ultrasound machines for the uh pro-life people.
Um they're a great group, Bill.
And I know you you do a lot of philanthropic work that you never nobody knows about.
I know people think of you as a hard ass, you're you're anything but.
Um give me twenty-five.
By the way, you didn't even laugh, but go ahead.
Yeah, give me twenty seconds at the end of this for witches because there's something important there.
Yeah, you bet.
Biden himself doesn't know what he's saying.
And after the Vietnam press conference, he went to Alaska, as you know, and spoke to military people about 9-11 and said that he was in New York City at ground zero the day after on September twelfth, two thousand twenty-one.
He was not.
He didn't show up here until two thousand uh uh ten days later.
So he doesn't know what he's saying, and that will become increasingly apparent.
Um and you'll get to a point where uh his own party is gonna have to throw it in.
They don't want to because they have no one else to step up.
That's the decide.
They had a strong sub candidate.
Biden be already gone.
But I don't believe he's gonna be the nominee.
I think he'll be out.
I say before Christmas, particularly if more um evidence is uh put forth by the uh House committees.
Next question and I only promise one question, but I have to follow up.
Um you saw the shot across the bow that people close to Kamala Harris it was uh you know clearly evident to me that that that where they took a shot at Gavin Newsom saying that well it will not be received well if Gavin Newsom uh tries to supplant Kamala Harris if Joe doesn't run.
Uh so there's obviously insecurity about Gavin Newsom in Kamala Harris's camp.
So the obvious and he said in a very clear interview they even referenced me in this interview because he's going to debate Ron DeSantis on my T V show but and that is that he's not running.
He won't run against Kamala.
Can Kamala Harris win?
She has a lower approval rating than Joe.
She's through but it'll be interesting to see if he challenges Kamala Harris for the nomination whether the Harris people will call him a racist and sexist.
Well they kind of implied they would didn't they I mean that's that's the game but I I look they don't have an Democratic party didn't have anybody uh at this point except Michelle Obama who show no interest at all that could be Trump.
I mean that's the litmus test can you beat Trump um and so there we are.
Now two weeks uh killing the witches comes out and it's an important book because of the witch hunts going on today in America.
So tell you all about Salem Hannity has the free book I sent it all by the way I've read a lot of it and I want to be honest I didn't think I was going to be as interested in this one as some of your other killing books and by the way the next book is Killing Hannity and we're really that'll be the biggest bestseller of all because they all become number one bestsellers but man I I just learned a lot.
I mean you forget about that kind of history the witch hunts that took place Salem, Massachusetts you go through the whole history of it and you write in an extremely compelling way and I I honestly I learned a lot loved it.
And it's scary you were scared Bill I'm not I I get I go through pain day with my sense I there's nothing that I'm afraid of.
But it's the devil Hannity scares me a little but you know what I have Jesus on my side so I'm good.
That's and it's always a good thing.
So anyway I appreciate you uh letting me talk about witches it'll be out as I said uh September 26th hope everybody get it and thanks for having me on a program these are very good conversations and I hope everybody appreciates the fact that we're having them all right when you're having your interviews with Como you need to sneak in my name three times in every interview see if you can.
Yeah that'll drive him absolutely I don't think it will we get along fine.
Anyway Bill O'Reilly All Things O'Reilly BillO'Reilly dot com by the way if you want a first print edition of his new book just go to uh Hannity.com, Amazon.com Bill O'Reilly dot com and uh that'll be on the way the day it's released and uh you're gonna love it.
Anyway, thank you sir appreciate it.
Let's go to our busy phones.
A lot of people have been very patient.
Christine is in the free state of Florida.
By the way your governor is up in New York today he's gonna be on our show tonight.
How are you?
I'm doing good thanks Sean for having us on what's going on?
Well I just wanted to touch on something and I and maybe we need to spin this a little bit differently but when President Trump became our president and made the infamous call to Ukraine it seemed that things started happening.
Now we don't know what was happening prior to that but had he not been our president would any of this come to light?
I feel like he exposed the deep state and that we need to see what's right in front of our face that what's happening to him is by the mere fact of what he dug so deep to ex and is doing at this present time.
I feel like nobody's paying attention to give credit where credit is due.
The guy opened up a can of worms so that he could open up and show the people the truth.
You see, you're raising a great point, and that is the biggest fear of American money going to Ukraine, and this policy changed in 2015 after an interagency conclusion, and it became official Obama administration policy that they had made enough progress to warrant the billion-dollar loan guarantees that Joe eventually lost.
leveraged but you're you're raising a good point uh I first found that tape and played that tape of Joe Biden because of the you know they kept saying it's a quid pro quo.
He's not giving money to Ukraine unless they dig dirt on Joe.
No, he was saying I I don't want to give money to an uh another corrupt Ukrainian regime.
And if anything happened here that would be something we all need to know.
And he was right and it it was not uh worthy of an impeachment for sure.
However, what Joe did that benefited his family, that that leveraging of money, you know, they're trying to spin it, this war room.
Well, but uh everybody agreed that that the that the prosecutor was corrupt.
Joe did this not for the prosecutor.
Five days before he went to Ukraine to leverage the billion, he was talking to Barisma executives and Hunter when they were in Dubai.
He did it and it enriched his family.
If you want to believe the biggest lie in the world and go along with these idiotic Ian Sam's talking points that make them seem foolish, this war room that they built out.
It's not gonna work.
The problem is American people are too sophisticated for this.
Let's see.
Oh, leverage a billion.
The problem of my son's farm business partner goes away.
They stay in business, they continue to make money, and my family continues to get paid.
Okay.
That would be a quid pro quo with Joe.
This for that in Latin, quid pro quo.
That's uh that's what happened here.
And you know, you can call it whatever you want to call it, but he took official action as the CEO of Barisma told the credible FBI informant, credible defined by the FBI as evidenced by the hundreds of thousands of dollars they paid him in the past, and he that that's where we are today.
And now that you watch when the media start sounding like me on this issue.
Once they start I mean, after look, after Maureen Dowd and Van Jones and James Carville and David Axarod, now David Ignatius, I am telling you the dominoes are falling, and it's probably now inevitable that Joe's out.
Right.
I pray you're agreeing over what you're breaking up, but I I got your point, and you're right.
Donald Trump exposed the deep state.
You're right.
A hundred percent right.
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.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
Eric in Missouri.
You got two great senators there.
I will tell you, this uh this this court decision um started uh a whole case of uh of Eric Schmidt on free speech and and censorship.
Um he's really done a great job, and uh I'm a huge fan of Josh Hawley as well.
Yes, and you know, I'm uh actually proud to say Jason Smith is my congressman.
Wow, that's awesome.
I mean, I've got all three.
But hey, I wanted to touch, and she kind of touched on that about the the deep state even further.
I bel on Friday you had a caller asking why Obama wasn't linked to this or something similar to that.
And I believe there are at least three instances that show that he was involved.
One being that the bluff with Biden saying, hey, you don't think I have authority, call the president.
Where did he get those hubris to make that bluff?
Secondly, with that bluff, he already knew the policy was that we're giving them the money.
So he knew that if they called the president, the president wasn't going to back him.
Or was he, which leads me to the third point.
You always say words matter.
Now, if words matter, why does Hunter say we give fifty percent to Pops?
And ten percent to the big guy.
Well, it was actually it was Hunter that said uh half his income goes to Pops.
He was complaining, I think it was to his sister.
Uh the ten percent was put aside for the big guy held in trust by by Hunter.
Yeah, Tony Bobelinski first made that revelation.
Okay, because you know, it was my thought that um Obama was actually the big guy.
And you know, I I do believe that he knows.
And and then the other thing that I have a question is all this money going to Ukraine.
How much of that's being funneled back to the deep state?
Well, I don't think of much at all, to be very honest with you.
Um I I think, you know, look, every th I'm I'm gonna interview Sean Penn, and we're not airing it tonight um because it there's certain restrictions be f as to as it relates to the movie release, but he's in town, and I want to f do a follow-up interview with him.
I watched his documentary.
It's very interesting.
Here's the biggest problem and why conservatives that would otherwise have been willing for the United States to play a role financially or offer military aid, but it has been blown by Joe Biden.
You know, Joe Biden, and you know, more recently, five hundred million dollars for Ukrainian green projects.
Uh, it is infuriating.
Joe Biden from the beginning vetoing the uh Poland MIGs that they offered so that they could fight on on an equal footing with Russia.
No, that's not fighting to win the war.
And if you're not gonna fight to win the war, not one American red cent should go.
And that's you know, and Europe doesn't do their fair share.
As as per usual.
And and with America just keeps writing these, you know, billion dollar checks to Ukraine.
And you know what?
Joe Biden gave us two trillion in debt last year alone.
We can't afford it anymore.
35, 7 trillion in I don't can't even keep up with it anymore.
Need a calculator to keep up with how much debt this guy's accumulating.
So, you know, I think you uh, you know, you you bring up a lot of good points here, and I will tell you that the evidence is just to go back to your original point is overwhelming.
Uh anyway, I appreciate it, Eric.
God bless you.
Uh 800-941 Sean on number.
