All right, Leonard Skinner, Simple Man.
And that can only mean one thing on this radio program, and that is all things Simple Man, self-proclaimed Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly.
Anything you ever want O'Reilly is at BillO'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, I want to play.
We're obviously on the verge of a counter-offensive ground offensive.
We now know that Israel has called up 300,000 reservists.
About a hundred thousand of them are on the border.
Fox's uh Trey Yangst actually just gave this report that should break anybody's heart.
If you have a heart, mind, conscience, and soul.
In other words, if you're not at a liberal university in this country being indoctrinated and to blaming the wrong people, but anyway, here's Trey Ying.
So I just want to describe what it's like in kibbutzbury.
We arrived here with the army a few hours ago, and on the road in, we went past the area where that music festival was where 260 innocent Israelis were mowed down.
You could smell the stench of death in the air on the drive.
And as we got closer to this kibbutz, where so many families were slaughtered in their homes.
It became obvious that we didn't even have a full grasp of what took place here.
Around the back of this house, down the street a little bit, we saw about eight bodies in body bags of the local residents who were here.
Some may be militants.
They still have to work to identify the bodies.
Some are hard to uh identify.
I want to just tell you what the commanding officer told me when we got here.
He saw many of the families that were slaughtered in their beds and in their bomb shelters after Hamas militants broke through the door.
He told us uh that there were people who were decapitated here.
Um people with their hands tied behind their backs and shot, executed.
And you saw from inside that house, it is the most terrific thing I have ever seen.
It is a community where there are breakfast plates out with food still on them.
On dining room tables, there are refrigerators like you would see anywhere in the world with pictures of little kids playing sports.
There are bicycles and still ceiling fans going inside the house, and there are beds soaked with blood, the floor of that kitchen, as you saw, and there are weapons laying everywhere from those militants.
You can see some of their vehicles just outside.
It is a house of horror behind me, and the entire neighborhood looks like this to give you a quick number about how many people live here.
There are a thousand residents that were living in Kibutzberry before this horrific terror attack on Saturday morning.
More than a hundred of them were killed.
Uh many children among the dead, and their pictures are still on the refrigerator in the in the house.
Now, earlier we played a report from I-24 news correspondent uh Nicole Zadek, and she was the one that described the 40 dead babies, many of them decapitated.
We played the exchange, well, the attempted exchange with Congresswoman Taleb uh this week photographing herself outside her office with the Palestinian flag and the American flag.
And she was asked repeatedly by Fox News Channels, Hillary Vaughan, uh, about the dead children, and had not a word to say of condemnation.
Anyway, all things simple man Bill O'Reilly.
Uh my heart's troubled, Bill.
I always say my heart, you know, let not your heart be troubled.
This is troubling.
Um I'm looking at American campuses all around the country and listening to people Harvard University.
You went to Harvard, if I recall the Kennedy School of Journalism, if I'm not mistaken.
And at Harvard, 31 groups blaming completely, putting all the blame on Israel, the victim here.
This is happening in colleges all around the country.
It is happening with Black Lives Matters groups in in Chicago and elsewhere.
And um uh I I'm just yeah, we see anti-Semitism, virulent anti-Semitism in London on display.
What did we hear out of Australia?
I didn't think we'd ever hear the words gas the Jews, uh F the Jews.
Uh now, Prime Minister Benjamin Yatanyaho, I know you know him.
I've known him for almost thirty years.
And he's been very, very straightforward, Bill.
He's going at them.
His exact quote is pretty clear.
Uh that it that he will that the their actions, their response will resonate with Israel's enemies for generations.
And this will change forever the Middle East.
So this ground response that we're anticipating will be that bad.
Um you know, look, it's a 9-11 situation.
It's worse than that.
Extrapolate out the numbers, their population versus us, that would have been the equivalent of 35,000 Americans killed.
But it's a 9-11 situation in the sense that you got a terror group attacking civilians and killing them.
Um for what gain, for what end?
Because surely Hamas didn't think that this was gonna dislodge the people, the Jewish people from uh the Middle East, right?
It's not gonna happen.
It's not gonna overthrow the government, it's not gonna lead to uh a worldwide upre uh uprising in favor of the Palestinian people.
You're gonna have the usual cranks.
I was a bit surprised by the Harvard thing.
I was up there two and a half weeks ago.
Um, but then I stepped back and said a lot of these people are progressive left people, really hardcore progressive leftists.
Bill, the supporting a terrorist organization.
They've always done it.
Who's whose own platform calls for the destruction of Israel.
The progressive left has always demonized Israel as a fascist nation that is practicing apartheid.
That's what you hear.
It that has been going on for decades.
So when you really think about it, nothing has changed.
No hearts and minds are won there.
So Danyahu um he has an opportunity which he will seize upon to destroy the infrastructure of Hamas and Gaza.
And uh the innocent people who live there, and there are some, of course, uh, will suffer dramatically.
Um but that will be Hamas's fault, but I will give the Israelis credit.
They have been warning the people of Gaza to get out immediately.
If you stay, you will die.
Yes, and they will, because they they're gonna destroy the infrastructure there.
But here's an interesting story, and I don't know.
I listened to uh part of the first hour.
Um the Wall Street Journal reported, excuse me, over the weekend, that Iran was behind Hamas, right?
You read the report, I'm sure.
I it was i Incontrovertible evidence and there's been more of it since, yes.
Okay.
Today CNN reports Iran wasn't.
And Kirby, the spokesperson for Biden, basically said, Well, we haven't seen any evidence that Iran was behind Hamas.
Now, as you know, I wrote the book Killing the Killers, which was about how the United States government has tracked down and killed the ISIS, Al Qaeda's whatever we big best seller.
Everything documented.
Hamas has been supported by only one nation throughout all of these post 911 years, and that is Iran.
Hamas cannot make weapons.
They have no weapon making capability.
So all the rockets they have, all the guns they have, all the bullets they have are made elsewhere.
And then they are smuggled in and it's not hard because Gaza borders the Mediterranean as you know, there's no port control because Hamas runs everything in Gaza.
So Iran is behind this.
Or would have the capacity to do it?
Putin would do it, but he doesn't have the capacity to do it.
Um and we would know the um Israeli and American intelligence agencies would know if China and Russia were sending ships into the Mediterranean and dumping rockets into Gaza.
Okay?
So the only country that could do this and would do it, would be Iran.
So then why would a CNN using all anonymous sources and as did the Wall Street Journal, I have to be fair, and then Kirby basically try to back away from the inevitable fact that Iran is the driver of Hamas terrorism and every other terror group in the Middle East.
So when I saw that from CNN, I went and I didn't back away from my analysis on the no spin news and my TV outlet.
I said I'll apologize if I'm wrong about Iran, but on this planet, there is no other nation that could accomplish this.
So why is Kirby and CNN?
Why are they throwing this out?
The only reason is there's one reason only.
They Biden administration does not want to confront Iran.
They won't even mention they've been uh there's a bill out in the Senate, and I've been urging people to call the senators 202, 224 3121, that would take that money that had been allocated for ransom payments and send it back to the South Korean bank where it was uh not available to the Iranians.
That is insane to me.
It is fungible as others have made.
Can I add a little texture to your story?
Now I I think you would agree and give me a little credit that while on the Russia collusion hoax night after night, every report that I put out there and spite and the media got wrong, all the lies they told, the conspiracy theories they peddled, that we ended up being vindicated.
And I have pretty good contacts and sources.
I have been told the Biden administration has the evidence.
I have been told that the evidence is overwhelming.
I've been told that top members of Congress also and the Senate have this information.
It's gotta come out.
It's gotta come out.
Now, because if you're gonna cut off if you're gonna defeat the snake, you gotta cut the head of the snake.
The head of the snake bill, you know you wrote kill the killers, killing the killers.
You know, i i it's Iran.
They are the number one state sponsor of terror.
If this comes out the way you say it will, and I believe you, then CNN something's gotta happen there.
Forget it.
There it's already happened.
Nobody watches them.
That's true, but this is run by a corporation.
Discovery, Warren Brothers.
And it's gotta be an investigation at the federal level.
You cannot have an organization worldwide, remember Cannes War What.
Putting out fallacious information if they know it's not true.
And the second thing is that Biden gave the initial speech an hour and a half late, by the way.
Did not mention Iran.
And in today's statement, which is pretty duplicated yesterday, did not mention Iran.
And then Kirby comes out and says, Oh no, we haven't seen any information about that.
Bill, did you see the exchange with Kirby and Martha McCallum?
Yes, I saw it.
That that the only existential threat, even more than nuclear war, is climate change.
And that Joe Biden, even still to this day, stands by that position.
I don't even know how to deal with such ignorance, Bill.
It's it's frightening, but now we we have the intention.
We uh we the definition of we here on the Hannity Radio program is fair-minded, honest people.
That's the definition of we.
That's most of the American people, Bill.
I believe the people in this country are good.
Everybody is locked in on the barbarity that has happened over the last five days.
Unless you're somebody who doesn't care about anything.
You're locked in.
If it is going to be proven that a CNN or a John Kirby, remember, he speaks for the president.
Intentionally misled the world, not just America, about the source of the Hamas terror attack.
Then there's got to be this is a story that catapults into the biggest story of all time.
Let me tell you something, Bill.
You are correct, that's what should happen.
But why do my heart of hearts do I know that won't happen?
Well, I will tell you this.
The Republican Party has an obligation after they get finished with all their interwatever.
They have an obligation to stop playing politics and start leveling with the American people about the danger of the Biden administration.
I think you and I are sympatico here.
Big time.
I only because I'm I'm out of time here.
I do think you're gonna like one debate we have tonight, because it actually, you know, it's a place you know well.
But you know I got current Cornell West debating Alan Derschwitz about the anti-Semitism at Harvard.
Well, listen, it's gonna be a good debate.
You do good work.
I I want to thank you, by the way, personally, because Killing the Witches debuts number two on Sunday.
Unfortunately, the hate Trump book beat us by a little bit.
The killing the witches is the hottest book in the country right now, partially because of you.
So you got a big sway with your audience, and you and I all work together on this.
We got to get the American people riled up enough to put an end to this.
We cannot have justification.
Our country's deteriorating, Bill.
It's getting very scary.
Yep.
And we have we have a mindset out there of people that have lost their mind when a president believes that nuclear war is a far less threat than uh global warming being the number one existential threat.
Uh we we've got a problem.
And and him not knowing today is Bill O'Reilly simple mandate on the Sean Hannity show.
That's bad too.
Uh anyway, Bill O'Reilly, thank you.
All things O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly.com eight hundred nine-four one Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.

So when Mike Lundell invented the original MyPillow now over 20 years ago, it had everything you could ever want in a pillow.
Now he has been able to tweak the original MyPillow thanks to new technology.
And he's now, by the way, you still get the patented adjustable fill that you love about your original MyPillow, but now they have a fabric that is made with their temperature regulating thread, and that keeps the pillow cool all night.
So when you're tossing and turning and you flip your pillow over to the cool side of your pillow, you don't have to do that anymore.
MyPillow 2.0, still the softest, smoothest pillow you've ever had.
Now the coolest, literally, uh, and you don't have to flip it over in the middle of the night.
Right now, because of the 20th anniversary, MyPillow 2.0, regularly 7998 for a limited time, just 3999.

They also have other deep discounts and other great MyPillow products celebrating their 20th anniversary, or just call 800-919-6090.
All right, so I got a question.
How much does the issue of energy factor into any and all issues as it relates to the Middle East?
In other words, the free flow of oil, in our case, natural gas in America, uh, at market prices.
How much of that is a part of a lot of the problems that exist for us in the Middle East.
Well, I would say if we're energy independent and we have enough resources that would last hundreds of years between oil and gas and coal, we don't need to get a drop of anything from anybody, any place, anywhere.
Now we do need to upgrade and build up more refining refinery facilities.
We've been way behind the ball on that.
I'm not even factoring in the idea that you know, if we had half a brain, we'd be using nuclear uh energy as well.
We can do it, we can do it safely.
Uh, they do it in France.
If the French can do it, I'm pretty confident we can do it.
So, you know, but how big a factor is it?
You know, the fact that Joe Biden has given up energy independence and added restriction and regulation after regulation after regulation, and and then depleted our patrol uh our strategic petroleum reserves.
It is it is mind-numbing to me.
Because if you want to get to the root cause of record and Joe Biden inflation, you have to look at his energy policies and his economic policies.
But energy is the lifeblood of the world's economy.
And you'll say, But Hannity, they're committed to green energy.
Yeah, they're committed to what?
you know, the technology that does not exist at an affordable price that would produce enough energy that this country needs to function.
So as a result of becoming more and more dependent on foreign sources of oil.
A lot of that a lot of the energy we're importing is from countries they don't particularly like us.
I don't think OPEC is particularly friendly towards the U.S. They have been decreasing production for the very purpose of raising their profit margin.
Because that means a decrease in supply means you increase the price.
America reducing uh its output that artificially reduces the world's supply of energy.
What does that mean?
Well, it's supply, demand, crisscross, equal price.
When the supply goes down, demand remains constant.
That means the price is gonna go up.
That's why we what got up to five dollar a gallon gasoline.
Now, with the Saudis and OPEC, not once but now twice putting forward decreases in production, uh, well, that's why gas is now climb back up to around four dollars a gallon nationwide.
And what does that mean?
It costs a lot more to fill up your gas tank.
What else does it mean?
You pay more to heat and cool your home.
What else does it mean?
It means everything you buy in every store you get go to that is truck there.
Guess what?
That costs a lot more too.
Everything, every item.
Well, no wonder nearly two-thirds of the country are living paycheck to paycheck, because in all, it's about uh on average per household in America, anywhere between seventy five hundred and ten thousand dollars in Biden's inflation tax.
Well, people just simply can't afford it.
But they're sticking to their strategy.
You know, that idiot, you know, Joe Biden saying that climate change is a bigger existential threat than even nuclear weapons.
And when asked about that very question, John Kirby doubled down on stupid with Martha McCallum in his interview.
The only existential threat humanity faces the only one.
Even more frightening than uh than a nuclear war is global warming going above one point five degrees in the next twenty ten years.
Given all the nuclear players in these two areas where we are now engaged on, does the president stand by that comment?
Absolutely he does.
Climate change is an existential threat.
It could, you know, it actually threatens and is capable of wiping out all human life on earth uh over time.
I mean, that's I don't know how more existential we can get to that, but that doesn't mean that we walk away from our obligations, our national security interests in very dangerous parts of the world.
You mentioned he said it was more frightening than a nuclear war.
Is that it's more frightening than a nuclear war in this moment?
The president believes wholeheartedly that climate change is an existential threat to the all of human life on the planet.
That's just science.
That's a fact.
Martha Wow, unbelievable.
Joining us Tim Stewart, president of the U.S. petroleum and gas, and he's here to discuss the war.
Uh we are now at according to estimates, anywhere between thirteen and a maximum of 20 days supply of our strategic petroleum reserves.
It is now at the lowest level it has been in decades.
This is now dangerous territory, if especially in this unpredictable world that we're living in, this volatile world we're living in.
Uh, and the main reason for this is because Joe Biden heading into the 2022 election, you know, realized that the price of gas would likely have an impact on the election results and therefore started releasing millions and millions of barrels of oil that we,
by the way, were filled up by former President Donald Trump when oil was very cheap at the time, uh, and has released it uh it for the purpose of driving down just temporarily just to get past the election, the price of a gallon of gasoline and the price of diesel and the price of cooling and heating our homes and filling up our gas tanks.
You know, so you know, if you look at U.S. oil and gas and their association, they they say we've got about 17 days left.
I've heard estimates anywhere between thirteen and twenty.
Anyway, Tim Stewart joins us now.
Sir, how are you?
Good Sean, how are you doing?
250 million barrels.
That's what uh Biden administration sold off for political reasons.
Uh it's the only time in that in our nation's history going to use was used for personal political security not strategic security it's really really troubling and frankly I don't think people appreciate uh what a precarious position we're actually in right now.
And it's not like we're going to be able to go somewhere and and refill this tomorrow and if we do it's going to be at a at a a dramatically high cost that we probably can't afford am I wrong?
No, you're exactly exactly right.
I mean put in perspective we're the U.S. you know the US is the largest oil producer in the world right now.
We're producing about 13 million barrels a day.
To get the strategic petroleum reserve back to the pre-Biden level would mean taking the entire production of the U.S. Everything we produce every single day and for nearly 25 days just putting it into the strategic petroleum reserve without using it for anything else.
That's that's how precarious we actually are and it's not just you mentioned it earlier in uh the there's this infrastructure is refining capacity issue as well.
We have really really put ourselves in a bind because we have sold off the crude that the refiners actually need without replacing it.
It's uh the equivalent of rating the Treasury is what it is.
I don't even know what to say.
Can we just start at the with the basics if America wanted to be energy independent again and correct member if I'm wrong my understanding is Donald Trump got us to energy independence for the first time in what 70, 75 years.
Am I correct in that?
You're correct, yeah.
Yeah we're actually next we are a net exporter right now when you consider consider you know refined products we're sending gasoline and other refined products to other countries and so we are actually technically energy independent.
Our challenge and you mentioned but but is it aren't our refineries now over capacity?
I mean we haven't built a new one my understanding is in what, 30, 40 years?
Since 1976 are exactly right there.
And and the administration has so iced the uh the willingness and the capacity for uh Wall Street to invest in new refining capacity that even though we're now uh net exporters and we are the largest producer our refining capacity is still weak because we have not been able to invest in refiners the refiners to process the new crude that's coming along this the sweet crude that's coming out of Texas and and New Mexico that's a real problem for us right now.
All right quick break we'll come right back more with Tim Stewart president of the U.S. uh petroleum and gas association on the other side 800 941 Sean as we continue uh and uh don't forget by the way at the top of the next hour we'll check in with Tudor Dixon and David Schoen and much more as we continue.
All right, we continue with Tim Stewart.
He is the president of the U.S. Petroleum and Gas Association.
Let me talk, and I want everyone listening to really understand, if we factor in our natural gas and if we factor in oil reserves that are known, natural gas reserves that are known, coal reserves that are known, let me ask you this.
How many years supply would America have to be energy self-sufficient?
200 years, you know.
And that's the interesting thing is with every technological innovation that the industry comes up with, you know, fracking is a good example, or horizontal drilling.
We unlock reserves that we think that are there, but we're never able to tap.
Every new technological advancement we make, we can unlock another 50 or 100 years of energy.
But the Bidenomics energy policy is summarized with, which is like, we're taking the most expensive energy, which is electricity, and have regenerated by the least reliable and most heavily subsidized source, which is wind and power, and take away everybody's choice and make them rely on, instead,
of gas stoves and electric stoves instead of gas cars electric cars and do this without the infrastructure in place to actually get the demand uh to the supply and rely on China and the fact of the matter is is we've got this massive massive uh petroleum reserve underneath our feet we just need to be able to to get to it if administration will get out of the way bottom line.
Okay but these are policies now that they've taken up on their own and the result is for example I I would like to go well beyond energy independence and become energy dominant.
I'm not sure if we r really count our refinery capabilities if if that is you know a great measure if you will of whether or not we're a net exporter where is the raw oil coming from so uh again we we've got uh conventional uninclinational resources all across the United States.
You know, we've got uh shale formations that are places that have yet to be fully uh explored and or uh uh brought online because of the cost that is there.
Uh we've got, as you mentioned, massive, massive amounts of coal that is available and massive amounts of natural gas.
Honestly, Sean, we are the world's energy superpower when it comes to coal, natural gas, and and petroleum, and and wind and solar and hydro and hydroelectric.
You mentioned nuclear.
I mean, nuclear is uh the natural gas and nuclear transition is really where we should be focusing our efforts.
But the administration hates natural gas and they don't particularly support nuclear.
And that's where that's what when the big hindrances are becoming absolutely energy dominant, like you mentioned.
Uh it really is unbelievable.
So, you know, America in many ways has done this to itself.
Is that fair?
Yeah, yeah.
We we shot ourselves in the foot for sure.
You know.
If if we wanted a reverse course, which I don't think would happen under the Biden administration, how long would it take America to get up and running in the full capacity in terms of energy production, energy, full independence, uh becoming a net exporter, and frankly an energy rich nation and energy dominant nation?
Well, you know, it's a great question because we managed to to do a significant swing between the Obama administration and the Trump administration.
By the end of the Trump administration, we had we had reached that uh uh that uh top position, that pole position in in in oil production.
So it would be a matter of four or five years for us to get to recalibrate and get back to where we were.
Uh smart money follows the industry, and if there is money to be made in in significant investment in refining capacity, and the the bureaucratic uh and the sort of the the philosophical uh red tape is removed, we can be really where we want to be in a matter of just a few years.
But like you say, we've done this to ourselves with uh with the Marxists in charge, the energy marxists in charge, and um it's gonna take a while to clean that out.
We hope we hope, honestly, that we have the chance to do it in this next election cycle.
Is there anything that you can see that the I call the climate alarmist religious cult of which Joe Biden is a part of?
Is there any alternate form of energy, uh solar panels, wind, any that you see that have the capacity and capability of producing uh the amount of cheap energy that are needed to run our economy efficiently?
Well, you know, to again uh from that uh that religious uh aspect that true believer aspect of the administration is in, the only option they actually have, like I say, is a natural gas to nuclear transition.
And again, they are very reticent to do that uh for either side.
Um and uh we're gonna be using natural gas for decades to come.
Interesting thing is, you know, since 2004, we've been the global spending on wind and solar has been four trillion dollars.
But hydrocarbon use has increased three times faster than that uh than that spending on on wind and solar.
It is the cheapest and the best form of energy.
And again, that's what separates us from other countries.
The first world versus a third world company country is the access to cheap and affordable energy.
It pushes everything else from agriculture to manufacturing to housing.
And uh again, natural gas is provides that consistency decade in and decade out for the foreseeable future.
All right, we really appreciate you being with us, Tim Stewart with the Oil and Gas Association.
Thank you, sir, for your time.
We really appreciate it.
Great, Tom, thank you very much.
800 941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.
What smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
