Bill O’Reilly, author of Killing the Legends: The Lethal Danger of Celebrity, has a new book out in September, Killing the Witches, The Horror of Salem, out on September 26, 2023 - Bill had this piece on his site about Hunter and Joe and their extended family’s involvement in their many nefarious business dealings. Kimberly Strassel of The Wall Street Journal is an excellent columnist. On Friday, she reported that "suspicious banking transfers" were reported 170 times in transactions made by Hunter and Jim Biden, the President's brother. That may be a record.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thanks for being with us.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941-SEAN.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh when you hear Leonard Skinner and you hear Simple Man, it only means one thing on this radio program.
That means all things simple man, self-proclaimed, Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly of BillO'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir.
How are you this week?
You're lucky you had the simple man on today to talk about this Merrick Garland situation, because I have it, Hannity.
You you you got it.
I I was not my first question, but you go right at it.
Okay, so this is the Sergeant Schultz defense.
Remember Hogan's Heroes?
I know nothing.
Nothing.
Okay.
And you know what?
I believe him.
Why do you why do you think he's uh that out of it?
Because he's Varney Fife to keep the sitcom stuff going.
Oh man, now we're now we're going back to Andy Griffin.
Go ahead.
I believe that this guy from the jump knew this Hunter Biden grip was so radioactive and could very possibly lead up to his boss, Joe Biden, the president, that he said, I'm gonna do punches pilot.
I'm washing my hands all of this, and I'm not gonna get involved.
I don't want to hear it.
So he says Weiss, the uh U.S. attorney in Delaware, you're in charge of it.
Well, don't come to me if you've got any problems.
And right away, Weiss has problems because Estrada in California, the U.S. attorney there, and the guy Matthew Graves in DC, the other U.S. attorney, won't cooperate.
Does that make any sense to you?
Well, there's a lot of things we gotta add to this.
One is this guy Weiss had five years on the issue of Hunter Biden.
The IRS whistleblowers and the FBI whistleblower uh were very, very clear that in their entire careers they'd never seen such favoritism that was given and consideration given the Biden family.
Now, what what Merrick Garland had been saying and continued to say today and uh conflicts with one letter written to Jim Jordan, and he said just the opposite to Senator Lindsey Graham.
And that was, you know, I think he told it was Graham that he told that he had full authority to move forward in other jurisdictions, more specifically looking into uh DC and California.
Yep.
Um, but the IRS whistleblower said no, he told us just the opposite.
And and one of the agents, Shoppley took contemporaneous notes of him saying it.
So I tend to believe the IRS whistleblower that risked everything to tell us all the truth about horrific and what a double standard in the treatment that nobody gets treated like this, and the FBI corroborating the same.
It seems pretty like a pretty damning case to me.
There's no doubt about it.
And they're setting Weiss up to get hanged.
So but at least it's not you, or at least it's not me for once.
One time.
We we're not the person about to get hanged.
Look, Garland has the authorities, attorney general to order Estrada and Graves to cooperate in everything with Weites.
That question should have been asked.
And it wasn't, but he has the authority to do it.
But what he did, Garland, I don't want to hear about it.
I don't want to hear anything about it.
Don't call, don't write, don't text, don't email.
And so when Weiss ran into trouble, Garland wouldn't intervene, and Garland doesn't even know when Garland said, I don't know anything about statute of limitations in this case.
He said that today under oath.
Now, many people go, that's a lot.
I'm telling you, his orders were don't tell me anything.
I don't want to know anything.
This is the attorney general of the United States.
And that in itself shows you that there is no justice.
Garland's job is to oversee what his U.S. attorneys are doing.
Look, what if you appoint a U.S. attorney, Merrick Garland?
If if I were in that uh congressional hearing, I would have said, and the guy doesn't come to work for four years.
Okay?
And you're gonna go, I'm not gonna intervene.
I'm not gonna get involved, or the guy is drunk every day.
I'm not gonna get involved with it.
So that's ridiculous.
You oversee how your U.S. attorneys are behaving.
So look let me add some context and texture, because Jim Jordan dressed down the attorney general, Merrick Garland, over the whistleblower claims.
You said, meaning Weiss, who you're talking about, that he had complete authority, but he'd already been turned down.
Now, by the way, that was in a letter to Jordan that he didn't have the authority.
Uh, but yet telling Lindsay Graham just the opposite.
And and maybe there's an issue of one of them lying under oath.
We'll see.
Uh, and then also Garland getting really pissed off, losing patience with a with an exchange with North Carolina Republican Dan Bishop, uh, on the issue over, you know, who it was that decided when it was time for Weiss to be appointed special counsel.
Now remember, Bill, he had five years investigating Hunter.
We uh honestly, uh I mean, how how do you possibly justify five years?
And remember, we learned also that his initial plan was not to charge Hunter with anything at all.
And that evolved into plan B. And plan B was after the IRS whistleblowers came forward, then he said, Okay, uh, I gotta do something, and that resulted in the sweetheart deal that was ultimately rejected by this judge in Delaware because the judge read the plea agreement and then buried deep inside that agreement,
uh, the the judge discovered that Hunter was getting full immunity, and this was in the gun diversion portion of that plea agreement.
Now, so plan C now became all right, I guess I have to indict Hunter on the gun charge, which is the low-hanging fruit in terms of everything that's being investigated and the and the 20 plus million soon to be 50 million dollars, according to James Comer and Nancy Mace, that the Biden family, you know, made themselves in business deals with foreign countries, many hostile nations.
Uh that doesn't explain the hundred and seventy suspicious activity reports.
That doesn't explain why, you know, all this money was was funneled through the shell corporations, why five what nine uh uh Biden family members got paid massive amounts of money.
I wonder what the grandchildren that were paid did for the money bill with these foreign countries, and what did Hunter do?
And we do know the 1023 form.
Last point, that we have a top FBI informant, well respected informant, paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in the past by the FBI, and he gets the CEO of Barisma on record as saying, yeah, uh I didn't want to pay the Biden, so I had to give five million to one Biden, another five million to another Biden, and it'll Take you ten years to figure out how they were paid.
So, you know, that would be called evidence, also, Bill, which the media just continues to regurgitate.
No evidence, no evidence, no evidence, no evidence.
There's plenty of.
There's a plethora of evidence.
Listen, you I know you have uh contact with Jordan.
You should tell him next time you have a hearing, it should be Jordan Hannity and O'Reilly.
That's it.
You're going to include me in your little group?
I can't believe it.
You have you have a lot of the facts right at your disposal, and you spout them out, and they're pretty good.
I I'm listening to it.
What do you mean pretty good?
They're excellent.
They're dead on accurate.
Thank you.
All right.
But here it is.
Merrick Sargent Schultz Garland.
Didn't know anything, and he wasn't going to intrude.
But here's where it all fell falls apart, and Jordan didn't pick up on it, and neither did any of the Republicans on the Oversight Committee.
Merrick Garland had to sign off on the deal, the plea deal that was rejected by the judge.
He had to sign off on it.
And therefore, he knew the fix was in.
Because any ex-judge, Merrick Arlen's a former judge, would have seen the clause that said, you cannot prosecute Hunter Biden for any crimes in the future.
You're telling me Merrick Garland signed off on that.
Had to see it.
Nobody brought it up in the hearing, Hannity.
O'Reilly, the simple man would have.
You know, it's very, very interesting, uh, Mr. Bill O'Reilly, sir, where you're going here.
Because that is a very key question.
You bet.
And I will be sending it to members of that committee if they, you know, still have more time to talk to this guy.
But I will tell you this it is sad to see the country, and he he doth protest a bit too much of my view that oh no, this is not a politicized or weaponized DOJ.
Oh no, we have equal justice under the law.
Those are all platitudes and bumper stickers.
But the reality is their treatment of Donald Trump versus Hillary versus Biden on the issue of top seeker classified information speaks for itself.
The evidence of Joe leveraging in October of 2015.
It was official, it became official Obama administration policy that Ukraine had made enough progress regarding corruption that they were all agreed, interagency agreement that they were going to give the billion and loan guarantees.
Joe then talks to Hunter while he's in Dubai with Barisma executives, who we know from from correspondence were desperate to get DC help.
And that was December 9th of 2015.
Five days later is when Joe leveraged the billion, got the prosecutor fired in six months.
I'm sorry, six hours.
And one of the net results of that is Hunter, who admitted he had no experience and was addicted to drugs at the time, continued to get paid because of Joe's help.
Now that would be the enrichment of the Biden family, would it not, Mr. O'Reilly, sir?
Of course.
Um, but you know, getting back to I think you got to focus a little more on that deal.
That's that's huge.
The problem with focusing on that deal is that you're gonna get the same response from the guy in charge to the Justice Department.
All right, he's gonna tell you the same thing.
I didn't look at.
I wasn't, I didn't want to intrude.
I told Senator Grassley I wasn't gonna intrude.
The difference between intruding and having oversight.
I don't think there's any fair minded person in this country that doesn't now know that vice president Biden sold influence that benefited his family.
I don't know anybody.
I know a lot of liberal people.
Nobody denies that.
Now I'm gonna go on news basically tonight.
Maybe Cuomo will deny it.
I don't know.
Okay, but I don't know anybody.
And it seems to me that now you have to correct the problem, but it's not correctable because the people in positions of power across the board look to be corrupt to me.
That's how it looks.com.
800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to be a part of the program as we continue today.
Editing King Ted Koppel says, Sean Hannity is bad for America.
America.
Sean Hannity.
An important role as a parent is to ensure that your kids are as safe as possible when they are at school.
And as a parent, you must ask your child school safety director if they have a Knox entry access system that gets law enforcement into locked doors in case of an emergency.
Firefighters have trusted Knox products as their choice for access since 1975, and now the Knox Entry System for Schools is providing law enforcement with the same resources.
You can learn more about Knox Entry at schoolentry.com.com.
I want to ask you this.
When you have Liberal Joe, when you have Maureen Dowd and David Ignatius and Axelrod and Carvel and Van Jones all coming out against Joe Biden, very, very critical.
When you hear tepid comments about Biden from Nancy Pelosi and insulting comments regarding Kamala Harris, something is going on here.
I think it's an effort to get Biden off the ticket.
And Kamala for that re for that matter.
Do you agree?
That means that the guys who control the Democratic Party do have a plan B. They didn't have a plan B before.
Now they have one.
But I don't know what it is.
I don't know what it is.
But the internal polling, you know what that is.
Of course, we're in the business.
Internal polling is what the public does not see.
It's not Gallup or Pew or any of that.
Internal polling is taken by the party, and it's kept secret.
Internal polling shows that Joe Biden would lose today to Donald Trump.
Once that happened, and it happened about three weeks ago, all right, then the Democratic apparatus began to panic.
And these people all talk amongst themselves.
So they do have some kind of plan B, but I I don't know what it is.
I'm trying to find out.
Mm-hmm.
I don't know.
Mr. O'Reilly, you're really on your game today.
I'm very proud of you.
My cat my pal, my talent is seeing a big picture, killing the witches out in six days.
And I tie that in, the 20 homicides in Salem back in the 17th century, and where you read about these to our freedoms today.
We would be a much different country today if that had not happened in Salem, Massachusetts.
And then the last part of the book is the witch hunts that are underway right now.
Is you're not getting hanged, but you're getting ruined.
And it is frightening.
Anyway, Bill O'Reilly, All Things O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly.com.
Next week, uh, we will talk about his book Killing the Witches.
It's on Bill O'Reilly.com, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, and in a week or so, bookstores everywhere.

All right, let's get to some phone calls here.
So many of you have been hanging very, very patiently.
Let's say hi to Colton in Texas.
Hey Colton, how are you?
Glad you called.
I'm good.
Thanks for uh taking my call, Sean.
Thank you, sir.
I wanted to talk to you a little bit more about the uh Joe Biden quid pro quo and the corruption of the the Biden crime family that we touched on a little bit.
Uh my question is you know, we have so much evidence that there is some criminal wrongdoing on Joe Biden's part, or especially on the part of his son.
Um we have video of him even admitting uh on a council of foreign relations that he was going to withhold a billion dollars if they didn't fire Victor Shokan.
So with all this, you know, with the video evidence of him admitting it in front of a crowd of people, you know, I just want to know like why hasn't anything been done?
We see how the Democrats are dragging Trump through the dirt, throwing everything they can in him, hoping something will stick.
Yet aside from uh just talking about it a lot, we don't really see any really big action going forward with the whole uh corruption case against Joe Biden.
You know, it really is amazing.
Um I do think we're making a lot of progress.
I really do.
I mean, the fact that now the media is even talking about it is uh it's that's actually it's progress.
Is it where we want it to be?
No.
Have they conceded that Hunter Biden did bad things?
Sure.
Are they running full frontal defense for Joe?
Of course they are, because they they keep saying there's not any evidence at all that ties this to Joe Biden.
You know, they keep changing, you know, the the narrative about this.
You know, first it was he never once spoke to his son, brother, anybody for that matter.
Then it was no no, he's never in business with with any of these people.
Uh now it is, it just came out yesterday.
No, no, the the president uh the first son did not share his business or his profits with his father.
They keep shifting the narrative as it gets closer to Joe.
I think it's pretty apparent anyone that's paying attention.
Yeah, I agree.
I just I don't know, it's so many years gone by already if uh if we can really expect to see anything from it.
I mean, I would hope before 2024 election season, but I really doubt it.
You know, wheels move slow.
I just think a lot of Americans feel kind of in a stuck between a rock and a hard place at this point, you know.
You have the the Democrats who seem to be in a headlong sprint towards this weird thing they have with authoritarianism, and a lot of Republicans who just seem unable or unwilling to do anything to counter it.
Yeah, well, let's see what they do.
Time will tell.
I can't tell you what's going to happen.
Uh, I can tell you that the evidence is overwhelming and incontrovertible in spite of the lies of the media and the Democrats.
That part I can tell you.
And now that they're going after the media and prominent liberal voices in the country are going after Joe's cognitive ability in his age.
Uh as soon as they now, you know, uh dip their toes into the waters of the Joe Biden bribery and money laundering scandal allegations, then you'll know that it's uh probably not looking good that Joe's gonna be on the ticket.
Watch for that to happen.
And the other thing to watch to for it to happen would be wait for more prominent Democrats.
Uh Maybe Nancy Pelosi's tepid response and support of Joe and Kamala.
That m that might be the next canary in the coal mine.
Anyway, appreciate it.
Uh 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Let's say hi to Mike is in New Joycey.
What's up, Mike?
How you doing in Joycey?
Very good, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Let's talk about the immigrants and the border crisis that we have going on.
I had an idea, and and I've spoken to a couple of people in my circles, and I think it's a great idea.
What about putting them all in the military?
Let's give them the option to fast track to become U.S. citizens by putting them in the military.
You mean uh look, here's the first thing that's gotta happen.
We've got to identify where all these illegals that Joe aided and abetted illegal entry into the country are.
Uh I think that's going to be task impossible.
And after we do that, I'd say the next step is to start vetting as they should have done before they ever let them in the country, their backgrounds, make sure they don't have radical associations.
Uh I would also do a health check.
They still have issues involving you know a surrounding uh COVID.
Uh I'd also uh have a means test because America now has 33 trillion in debt.
We can't afford to pay back.
And uh I think the idea that we're gonna take in people that are gonna be dependent on the federal government in New York City, for example, it's 40,000 per uh dollars per illegal immigrant.
We can't afford this.
So but identifying them is probably now gonna be an impossible task.
Pretty sad.
It is, but but as as it goes forward, it doesn't seem like this it seems to me if you get the military involved.
It should be a military operation anyhow.
I mean, we've got brilliant minds in our military.
Put them in charge of the border, and if people want to assimilate into the United States, teach them what America is all about.
It's the land of the free home of the break.
Serve the country that you're trying to get into to achieve to get into.
You know, every able-bodied man and women between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five, serve in in one of the branches of the military.
And then you can train them for different types of jobs.
I mean, it's high tech jobs in the service.
There's i i if you if you're not a genius on on the computer and you're you're you're you're a chef, you learn you're on an aircraft carrier and you're you're you're feeding five thousand men on a ship, you're gonna learn how to work in a restaurant, work on a restaurant line and how to run a restaurant.
Probably when you get out of the service, you can start your own business.
I think it's it's a great idea to get them involved in our military and serve.
Give it give them three years, and then you fast track, you get a social security card, you get out of military, it's four years.
Listen, if they go through the background check, health check.
Yes.
Yeah, uh, you know what?
Uh I guess that could be a possible option.
You know, I think it's you know, probably to the point where they're not gonna want to send everybody home.
It's gonna create a massive controversy.
Now, as far as I'm concerned, if you didn't respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty, uh, sorry, you don't get put to the front of the line.
I would send you home first and say, come in legally, follow the process.
I'd even expedite the process.
I think it takes way too long for people to legally enter this country, the number of people, whatever we can support.
So, anyway, good call.
Thanks, Mike of New Jersey.
Appreciate it.
Ammo is expensive, it's in short supply.
Many of you may not know you can train without ammunition at your own home using the technology, the military technology of Mantis X. Uh, also all the best shooters in the world.
You may not know this.
They do a majority of their training doing dry fire practice at home with Mantis X technology.
Mantix Mantis X is firearms training, no ammo, all electronic, and it's a way to improve your shooting accuracy.
You simply attach it to your firearm, connect it to your iPhone, you're good to go.
And Mantis X gives you data-driven real-time feedback on your technique, guides you through drills and courses.
It's a lot of fun to use on top of everything else.
Ninety-four percent of shooters will improve within 20 minutes of using Mantis X. It's used by the Marine Corps, the Army, Special Forces.
As I said, military grade technology, and the good part is as an affordable price.
Mantis X has improved my shooting.
Linda's shooting dramatically.
She had a long way to go.
Her initial uh, let's say, Use of it um kind of showed that she couldn't hit the side of a barn.
Uh but she's now uh scoring very high numbers and we're proud of her.
Uh why do you laugh every time I say this?
That's right.
I'm shooting that barn all across now.
Oh, yeah, now I can now get the whole wall.
I get the whole barn.
I can get any part of the barn.
And when I when I shoot my burner, um by the way, you could put it on your burner, you know.
Oh, I do know.
Uh and she she doesn't aim for upper body mass.
Where do you where do you where did you aim?
I aim for whatever's gonna put that person on their knee so they can't hurt me.
You're gonna love this technology and it's fun.
Anyway, go to their website, MantisX.com, that's M-A-N-T-I-S.com.
All right, quick break, right back will continue.
800 941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program, or your calls coming up, and at the top of the hour, uh we will be checking in with our friend Byron Donald's, uh Congressman from Florida.
Alerting you to all the ways the government wants to butt into your life.
This is the Sean Hannity show.
All right, quick break, right back to the phones, 800-941 Sean as we continue.
Bob in Utah, what's up, Bob, Rodarquette and Crown Burgerland?
What's a perfect duo?
What's going on?
Hey, Sean.
Um, do you think that conservative talk radio like yourself should take some of the blame for the Republicans struggling in so many of the elections these days, or you know, not being able to reach out to the other side at all.
I know with your viewers your you're as successful as you can get, but it just seems like it falls on deaf ears because maybe even someone like you should be able to reach out a little bit better.
Or is it just all with McConnell said, even though he got criticized for it, saying it's just the quality of the candidate, you know, you put these people on and they they go nowhere.
I think in 2022, my post mortem analysis is for example that the overturning of Roe v.
Wade, the Dobbs decision, did not, as a matter of fact, hurt Republicans.
Uh I think that was the the way that they demagogued the issue.
If you look at Biden's new strategy, they they think he's gonna get re-elected on on the issue of abortion and attacking Donald Trump.
That's how they think that he wins re-election.
Um I'm not sure where you want me to compromise.
Um I like to be honest with you, my audience.
I am a conservative.
Uh I say things that I truly believe.
I don't manufacture opinions, and and I as pro-life as I am and the sanctity of life that I believe in, you know, I'll I'll give you the case and point of Pennsylvania where the gubernatorial candidate is a nice man.
I interviewed him.
Doug Mastriano didn't even have exceptions for rape incest in the mother's life.
Well, I I politically speaking, I'm not talking about morally, politically.
That is a losing proposition in my mind.
And I know people just passionately disagree with me.
Hannity's becoming pro-cho No, he's not.
You know, um that's why I donate to groups like preborn.com slash Sean.
That's why, you know, I I believe in using I believe abortion's a hard issue, and you gotta change hearts.
And 4D ultrasound is one way science can contribute to that.
So, but I'm looking at the political practicality of the physician of some people.
I think that played a big part.
Now, if there's something you think I should change my view on or you want me to compromise on, I'm I'm all ears.
What would you like to hear from me?
Well, um see, I'm more down the middle, so when I when you say, you know, Biden has done totally nothing.
And first I think he's gonna get slaughtered in the election because like back in the day, oil and migrants, you can't win an election.
It just you just can't, no matter what.
So you'd think Biden's gonna get slaughtered.
Yeah, I think.
Here's my question.
There will be, I don't know if it's gonna be four criminal trials of Donald Trump, but certainly a couple is my guess, if I had to guess.
And when in and I don't think the venues at all are friendly to Donald Trump, New York, DC, Fulton County, Georgia.
So if the president ends up with a felony conviction, how will independents that decide every election react to that?
As much as I believe that this is the weaponization of our justice system.
How will independence react to that?
You know, everybody goes to the grocery store and everybody buys gas and and everybody's watching New York.
Uh you just can't win an election like that.
He did he he passed some good stuff, the diabetes uh capping that price and you know, some of the infrastructure, but you can't win election with prices the way they are.
You just can't.
He could got by with if he have just kept the uh the border the way it was, and he had gone with the uh T V. But he can't get by like this.
Is there any one opinion you think that I have is just unbending and and so rigid and and right that that you think I should change?
I don't know.
I guess maybe it's it's style and God knows no one's gonna, you know, question your success because you couldn't.
It's not about questioning my success.
You you've just you know, you kind of said to me, Well, if I was more compromising that I, you know, might you know be able to he you were insinuating I could help heal the country.
I'm you know, I'm I'm kind of set in my ways, but I'm I'm certainly willing to listen to any advice people have.
You're my you're my customer.
So if you have a criticism or thought, I want to hear it.
Well, as far as the uh the bribery stuff, have you ever seen anything with your own eyes?
You you not what everybody's telling you, but with you, do you get to see anything at all as far as name the grandkids by name and how much is in their accounts?
We all like to hear I asked James Corner that question the other night.
I uh he affirmed to me, I don't know all the grandkids' names.
Um, but uh I asked him, how much did the grandkids get?
And he talked about a significant amount of money.
Nancy Mace was on this program with it yesterday or the day before yesterday.
And Nancy May said, This for the Biden's alone, it's gonna be north of fifty million dollars.
Nobody's gonna believe that.
Come on, no nobody's gonna believe what.
We've already identified through suspicious activity reports, bank accounts, and other evidence that they've accumulated that that these numbers are real.
Why you know, why wouldn't they believe that?
Why did Joe Biden fire the prosecutor in Ukraine, leveraging a billion of your tax dollars?
And that allowed Hunter could can to continue to be paid uh tons of money, millions of dollars for a job in which he had no experience and at the time was addicted to drugs.
Do you believe that?
Oh, I believe Hunter is just uh No, do you believe Joe was involved in that?
Well, he did fire him and he bragged about it on TV.
He did.
So should I compromise on that or should I give you my real opinion?
No, not on that, but how come you don't get to see what who's blocking you to show it on your on your on your show tonight?
Well, I mean, we're not seeing this the you know, during an an ongoing investigation, James Comer and Jim Jordan have been very, very transparent.
They've updated us ri regularly.
We heard from IRS whistleblowers.
We've we know what the FBI whistleblowers had had to say.
I know for a fact that they've already interviewed other new whistleblowers and we'll we'll get the context from them too.
So public I'm just following the information as it becomes available, but because that's not information that the media is ever gonna give you because they are abusively corrupt and biased in my view.
