All right.
Leonard Skinner, it's Simple Man.
All things Simple Man on this radio program means only one.
Simple man, Bill O'Reilly, all things or Riley of Bill O'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
You know, I have cramps in my hands from signing killing the witches for Christmas gifts.
Oh, hang on.
Oh.
You you signed about what, seventy-five thousand of your last books?
Actually, I went over it 80,000.
80,000.
And it's it's a killer, right?
It's it's uh I'm not complaining.
I'm very grateful that people, you know, wanted an autograph copy, but Bill, you kind of sound like you're doing this.
Listen closely.
You sound like you're you're whining, Bill, about uh yeah, okay.
Um, I got two topics for you today.
Yeah.
Um, I want to start off with the election and the issue of abortion as it relates to the election and how wrong the media is on all of this.
Now, we've been following politics our entire career.
Uh Virginia now has been a pretty deep blue state for a long, long time.
Glenn Yunkin, God bless him, ran one of the best campaigns for governor that I think I've seen in the modern era.
And he was able to take a blue state.
Uh Virginia's no longer purple.
Let me explain to people.
As the bureaucracy is grown by hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands in Washington, DC, and in that bureaucracy, 95% of the people that work there are Democrats.
They have uh they have basically taken over all of Northern Virginia and dramatically changed the demographic of that state.
And it's very hard for any Republican to win, which made Yuncan's win so surprising.
I actually applauded Governor Yuncan for trying to get the House of Delegates and and the Senate uh read as well.
He put his neck on the line, he went out and campaigned, it didn't work out the way he wanted.
Mathematically, the odds were always against him.
It was always a heavy lift.
But if you listen to the media, this has been a horrible day for Glenn Youncan.
I don't think so at all.
I think he showed great courage, being willing to take on a very blue state and and try and improve it by putting people with better policies in place.
Am I wrong?
Yeah, a little bit you're wrong today, huh?
Because in politics you have to win.
And the reason Young can won the governorship, and I like Young, by the way.
I like him too.
Is about he won because of the parental thing.
That is opponent Terry McCollov basically told the people of the Commonwealth of Virginia, hey, back off.
The schools are gonna run how your kids are educated.
You don't have anything to do with it.
That was the end.
And Young and Stucco for the parents.
Now, this issue of abortion is not being handled handled correctly by the Republican Party.
And here's the reason why.
And it's based on history.
All right.
As America declines in religious belief and organized religion, the issue of abortion becomes a secular issue only.
So the founding fathers would never ever have approved of abortion, ever in a million years, would that have been enshrined in the Constitution?
And now in Ohio, a Republican state, it is enshrined in that state constitution.
And the reason is that the moral argument that all life begins at conception is rejected by most Americans who believe what they want to believe.
And what they want to believe is that it's not a human being on conception.
Now there's no scientific background, back up for that, there's nothing.
That's what they want to believe.
And the women in particular see government restricting abortion as an assault on their so-called reproductive rights.
They've won that.
If I'm advising a Republican, and you don't hear Trump talk about abortion much, and he's smart enough to stay out of that.
But he but he's not it it's not just when he talks about it, he talks about it intelligently.
Well he talks about the the he understands that where the country is, it has no it this has nothing to do with your your views on abortion or my views on abortion.
Politically winning.
I'm talking politically, the country supports legalized abortion.
I would say that most people, you know, common sense Americans, most people, the consensus is fifteen weeks, that was the Dobbs decision.
There are people that look why did Mastriano get killed in 2022 in Pennsylvania?
He didn't make exceptions for rape incest or the mother's life, Bill.
But but you can't win.
An important point.
Trump avoids the abortion issue because he knows that he's not going to win that issue.
But what he did do was appoint Supreme Court justices that did the right thing and kicked abortion back to the states, which is what you're seeing now in Ohio and Virginia and other places.
But the way that the Republican Party should go about the issue is saying we are for adoption.
Take a positive approach to this.
You're not going to change anybody's mind about when life begins.
Forget it.
Not happening.
The people who were pro-life believes on conception, the others don't.
But if you got behind, the government should help in adoption.
Who's going to attack that?
So that's where they should be because the ultimate goal of the pro-life movement is to save lives.
But one thing you're not addressing in your analysis, and maybe I just need to give me more time, is the politics surrounding abortion.
For example, I've said this for years on this program.
You know it's true, I know it's true.
Every every election season, the Democratic Party demagogues, they like to label Republicans as racist and sexist and misogynist and homophobic and xenophobic.
Uh now add to that the sheer amount of money that Democrats have used to demagogue the issue of abortion and lie about what Republicans believe about abortion, because most Republicans are probably at the 15-week number, which I think is where the country is.
Forget about my views.
And Republicans have not done a good job of countering that lie.
And the Democrats have demagogued it, and they've done so successfully.
Hannity, it's impossible for the Republicans to counter it because the media is 90%.
No, I'm talking about you can do it in speeches, you can do it in ads, you do it in your campaign.
The Democrats spend hundreds of millions of dollars this cycle and the last cycle on abortion ads.
It's a winner.
They know it's going to help them, and they know the media, the national media and the local media combined, is going to carry their water on the abortion ads.
But Republicans got to fight back with their own ads saying they're lying about us.
All right, but I don't think that's gonna at this point is too emotional.
If you go the adoption route, you go to high ground.
Well, you're saying that, but then the the next question in any debate, and there will be a debate for every congressman and every senator is where do you stand in terms of what the state law should be?
Now, if you're asking me where I think the country is, I think the country's where Dobbs was.
You know, it look in the end, Roe v.
Wade was bad law.
In the end, I think it was right for the Supreme Court to overturn it, but in the end, it has killed Republicans politically at the polls.
Yeah, and even Ohio will have a limit on when you can have an abortion.
But New York, California, Illinois won't.
So, and I think though that radical position is not accepted.
You're right there.
But believe me when I tell you that Republicans should stay far away from this issue next uh year.
If they ignore it, then they then you can expect the same result as this year and in 2024 where they demagogue it, that you have to counter a lie.
When people lie about a candidate, if they say you're racist, you need to fight back.
If they say that you want dirty air and water, you need to fight back.
If you say you are against abortion and you support uh legalized abortion up to 15 weeks, you got to counter the demagoguing and the lying.
That should be the highlight.
I think the economy and social disorder, which includes the border, will overwhelm that issue in twenty-four.
So I agree with you that if somebody lies about you, you should confront the lie.
And then you should say, look, I'm reasonable on this, like Nikki Haley gained a lot of traction by saying I'm reasonable about this issue.
But none of them have gone into the adoption arena, which I think would benefit them.
But next year you're gonna you're gonna see a pivot to people being harmed by Biden nomics, which is a disaster in every way.
The open border and disorder in their own neighborhoods because the far left won't enforce the law.
I'll only add one thing.
You're right about everything you just said, but the Republicans have got to take this issue head on.
Ignoring it is not working for them.
All right, quick break right back more with Simple Man Bill O'Reilly, all things ho's at BillO'Reilly.com as we continue.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

Alright, we continue with Bill O'Reilly, all things simple man, and 800-941 Shauna's the number.
Your call's coming up next half hour.
Let me ask you the next uh important topic.
Bring up the next important topic in the next question.
So these polls come out, and it shows that Donald Trump is Frankie, frankly, destroying Joe Biden in five out of six key swing states.
Now, I think that this movement to get Joe off the top of the ticket is very real.
I think they're working hard behind the scenes.
And what are your thoughts?
Will he survive that?
I said for a year that I don't think Biden's gonna be on a ticket.
You may be right.
I think the odds have gone down every week, and I'll tell you why.
Because his cognitive decline that is degenerative.
It's sad.
I've seen it to I don't wish this on anybody, but you can see cognitively he's getting worse.
You can see that if you want to see it.
Okay.
Bill, you can't not see it at this point.
Comes back to that.
So that if you hate Trump and hate Republicans, then you don't care whether Joe Biden can get out of bed in the morning, which some days he can't.
You know he has nothing on his schedule today.
What is it?
Wednesday, Hannity?
You and I are working our butts off.
He's not doing anything.
Because I give his schedule on the No Spin News every day.
Um, and there's nothing on his schedule.
Nothing on a Wednesday.
What would what would we do if we had a schedule for like a month?
I think we'd both lose our minds.
Um, look.
I know I'd lose mine, and I could I could see you driving around in your car talking to yourself, you know, saying, Welcome to the factor.
Let me start with Talking Points.
Talking Point says this, talking point says that.
But if you're really standing out for the point for the folks, the talking point says you need to do ABNC.
I could see that.
Well, I have St. Michael the Archangel, I thought.
Did you see the guy with the wings on the back?
Bill, I'm afraid that might be the devil in disguise.
We got to be careful here.
Um, so just uh quickly on Biden.
So Biden is in history the second worst president in our country, all right, ever.
Next to James Buchanan who allowed the civil war to develop.
Okay.
So some people don't care about that, but most people do, and when they have to pay so much more for essentials, they're gonna vote against that person.
Unless the person running against them is worse, and some people say that Trump is.
But Trump has a tremendous advantage now.
If he morphs into more of a statesman, I agree he has to fight back on this uh ridiculous corrupt uh civil case in New York City.
That is one of the worst things as a historian I have ever seen.
What's going on there?
And Trump is right to turn that courtroom into a circus to draw attention to how corrupt it is.
But on the national front, if he just becomes more of a statesman and compares.
I did this last night again on the No Spin News with BillO'Reilly.com, you can access it.
Mortgage rates now are close, approaching eight percent.
When he was in, they were three percent.
That's all he's got to do is statistic, statistics, statistics.
I agree.
If this becomes a referendum election on Joe Biden and his record, Bill, let me ask you an honest answer.
You're an honest guy, right?
I believe I am, Hannah.
You wouldn't have me on your show if it wasn't.
That's true, actually.
Now my question is this can you name three things that Biden has has done that you would say, you know what?
He did a good job on that.
I think he's doing okay on Ukraine and Israel at this point.
Okay, Ukraine 76 billion.
We're paying more than all of Europe combined.
Do you think that was the right call?
Uh I think he should put more pressure on the uh NATO countries to help out more.
But why why did he prevent Poland from giving Zelensky the 28 megs?
Why did he say they can't use the cluster bombs and on other munitions?
I I think he put handcuffs on Zelensky, which means they were only fighting from a for a tie from the beginning.
Let's give you an answer to that.
He didn't do it because Putin has trouble within Russia now.
All right.
And if the Ukrainians started to bomb Russian cities and use the cluster bombs inside Russia, popular opinion would support Putin.
And the goal is to get Putin out.
Well, then he should have said only use them against Russian troops inside Ukraine instead of putting handcuffs on them.
But give me big picture.
So all things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly, Bill O'Reilly.com.
Obviously, we can talk forever.
Uh we'll be watching, sir.
God bless you, and we'll talk to you next week.
Thanks for having me in.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Top free, our number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I've been telling you all about burner, the non-lethal self-defense products that they have out.
Uh, for example, their pistols, they look like a regular pistol, except the orange, the yellow, and the pink ones, but um uh and you fire it like it uh a regular pistol.
And in that case, in all 50 states, you don't need a permit, you don't need a background check.
It fires formidable projectiles that incapacitate anybody that would want to bring harm to you or your family.
It's a non-lethal option.
I like having both a lethal and non-lethal option.
I've possible I'd like to save somebody's life and protect my family at the same time.
These videos will show you how powerful and formidable they are when you go to burner.com slash Hannity, B Y R N A.com slash Hannity.
I've also told you about their brand new mission four rifle, uh, which I think is I that's my favorite of all their products.
Uh they have now also on top of the mission four, they have twelve gauge ammo, which is such an incredible development.
You can use you know these twelve gauge shotgun shells in your own shotgun and most pump action shotguns from over a hundred feet away, and when they hit you.
Let me tell you, it works.
It hurts.
No gunpowder, which means discharge is sixteen times quieter than a standard shotgun round.
When I tried it in my shotgun, I was stunned.
By the way, one note on the shotgun round, uh, the 12-gauge less lethal shotgun round from Burner, BYRNA.
Uh it can't be shipped to a handful of states, so we make sure that everybody follows the law.
And depending on the state that you live in, we ask all of you to always follow the law.
You'll see all of it yourself.
The new developments, the new products, non-lethal, but yet formidable uh self-defense options.
Go to Burner.com slash Hannity, take a look at these videos.
And i if I can't convince you, and those videos can't convince you, nothing can, because it works.
BY RNA.com slash Hannity.
You using my name gets you 10% off.
PYRNA.com slash Hannity.
Uh oh, I noticed Hillary Clinton on the view talking about uh Hitler and Donald Trump in the same sentence.
Let's hit it.
What in your view would happen if he were to be re-elected?
Oh, I can't even I can't even think that because I think it would be the end of our country as we know it.
And I don't say that lightly.
You know, I I think that he'd be even worse now.
Yeah, because he was somewhat restrained, believe it or not.
Wow.
In in the first term, and so the the wreckage is almost unimaginable.
You know, when I was Secretary of State, I used to talk about one and done.
What I meant by that is that people would get legitimately elected, and then they would try to do away with elections and do away with opposition and do away with a free press.
And you could see it in countries where well, Hitler was and so all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies, so dictatorial authoritarian tendencies would be like, oh, okay, we're gonna shut this down, we're gonna throw these people in jail.
And and they didn't usually telegraph that.
Trump is telling us what he intends to do.
And Joy Liz Behar still advancing uh the the phony election fraud lie that Hillary Clinton won.
You know, by the way, you know, Miss Mrs. Clinton did win the popular vote.
Yeah, so yeah.
I continue to believe that you won.
I don't care what they say.
Now we have this montage that I'm gonna play next.
This is all the times all Democrats, you know, have said that uh Hillary Clinton was elected and Stacy Abrams was elected.
And let me play this montage to remind you, because every time you hear a Democrat talk about Donald Trump and there's election denial and all sorts of things.
It's amazing that they are guilty of the same thing, but nobody seemed to care at the time.
Hacking the U.S. election.
Hacking the U.S. election.
Russia hacked our elections, the Russians hacked our election.
Russia hacked our election.
Russia hacked our election.
Russian hacking of our elections.
Hacking of our of our elections.
Russia hacked our elections.
Russia hacked our election.
Stolen election.

Russia hacked our election.
Universal assessment that Russia hacked our election today six.
Foreign governments.
Hacked our elections most young Americans consider Donald Trump an illegitimate president.
An illegitimate president.
He's an illegitimate president.
Why is he illegitimate?
He just won an election.
He's an illegitimate president in my mind.
That's it.
I absolutely agree.
Experts urge Clinton can't to challenge election results.
We will see how illegitimate his victory actually was.
He's an illegitimate president.
Russia hacked our election.
Russians hacking our elections.
Russia hacking our election elected as a legitimate president.
Trump is an illegitimate president who stole the election.
This wasn't on the level.
This election was not on the level.
I don't think he's a legitimate president.
He got his victory from cheating.
Yes, Trump cheated.
Trump cheated the 2016 election.
He's an illegitimate president.
No validity.
No credibility.
And because of that, anger at what some see as an illegitimate president.
Donald Trump has got it will not be a peaceful change of power.
A number of incidents turn violent.
Protesters hurled trash cans, flash bombs, and objects at police.
Several officers injured.
Protesters drew rocks and smashed windows, leading to more confrontations, injuries, and arrests.
The chaotic scene just blocks outside the secure area of the inauguration.
All right, to our busy telephones we go.
let us go to John in Arizona.
John, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, doing good, Sean.
How about yourself?
I'm good, man.
What's going on?
Well, I got a couple points here, and then I have a question for you, and I think you'll like this question.
So I guess when I look at what happened last night, my thoughts are the Republican Party they better get their stuff together, specifically the conservative uh caucus of the party.
Because if they don't and they don't start learning from their mistakes, I think 2024 not only will go to the Democrats in the presidency over any of the candidates, but also in the Senate and in Congress.
Um it's just it's what what they're running on are not winning issues, and the divide between the party and the civil war in the party, so to speak, is not a winning issue.
Maybe I just need to reset the table because I you know it was funny.
I w I woke up this morning and sweet baby James said sent an article written about me, and Hannity now recognizes the issue of abortion.
And I'm like, okay, I've been saying this since 2022.
And I'm like, no, Hannity did not change his mind.
I've recognized that the that where I stand on the issue of abortion is not where the country is.
And I'm recognizing that reality, but I have been saying since the 2022 election, abortion played a very big part in the 2022 loss.
One of the reasons expectations were not met is abortion was a very big part of it.
And Democrats did a great job of demagoguing the issue of abortion.
You know, why did Doug Mastriano running for governor in Pennsylvania lose by the largest margin of and against any non-incumbent since the 1940s?
Well, he didn't even support exceptions for rape incest in the mother's life.
Politically, forget about your personal views.
I'm I'm giving you objective analysis here.
Politically, that position is untenable.
You cannot win, especially in a swing state.
You might be able to win in some really conservative states, but you know, if you ask me where the country is on the issue, I don't think most people like abortion, but most people want abortion to be legal.
And I think there are limits on how long it should be legal.
It seems to me, objectively, with everything I read and everything I see and everything I hear, that the consensus is 15 weeks.
That was the Dobbs decision.
So Roe v.
Wade being overturned, it was the right decision because it was always bad law, but the states are now going to make those decisions, not the federal government, and I think that's the way it should be.
And it is it is now up to Republicans not to sit back when they're getting, you know, hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars of abortion ads thrown on them that oh, back alley abortions are coming back, and all those the nonsense and the demagoguery that goes on, and they need to fight back and counter the lie.
And Republicans have not done that.
Now, two other things I've been saying, too.
And you could say, well, Hannity, it wasn't that effective in Virginia.
I I I look at I look at Glenn Yuncan's victory as a tribute to him as a personal candidate, and endorsements only take you so far.
And you know, he was not on the ballot.
He was trying to help other people on the ballot.
And in the case of Virginia, I'd given up, I'd long given up on Virginia as a as a possible red state.
Yuncan proved me wrong.
Now he wasn't able, his popularity was not transferable to other candidates, but he gave it, you know, a hell of a try to get the House of Delegates and the Senate.
I give him a lot of credit for trying.
He didn't have to put his neck out there like that.
You know, politically speaking, it was a very risky move because I see still see Virginia as a blue state.
I don't even see it as a purple state.
So I think there's been a lot of misinterpretation.
But Republicans need to get over their reluctance and resistance to voting early.
They need to get in the legal ballot harvesting business, and they need an answer on abortion in every race, and they need to spend the same amount of money the Democrats are spending on the issue, so Democrats can't get away with the big lie that Republicans want to abolish abortion.
It's not true.
Right.
So that's my advice, but I've been saying it for a year, and all of a sudden the media last night, Sean Hannity even admits it.
I'm like, Sean Hannity has been saying it forever.
And by the way, they know I've been saying it forever.
So and again, I'm putting aside my own personal views.
Now, that's why I support a group like preborn, and I've said abortion's a heart issue.
That's why I've donated, you know, 4D ultrasound machines, because the science uh that they they now have uh has a tremendous tremendous impact on expecting moms, and if they're considering abortion, if you go to preborn.com slash Hannity, you know what?
They're doing great work.
They offer counseling, they offer all sorts of assistance and a free 4D ultrasound.
And I think that this is gonna be a heart issue.
The other thing Americans need to realize now.
Almost 60% of all abortions are done by a pill.
It's not the old fashioned way.
Now, if you look at on label usage of that abortion pill, it says up to ten weeks.
I'm sure they push the limit.
I'm sure people go beyond it, but that is the major that is the majority of ab that is the way the majority of abortions take place in the country.
It's not it's it's it's not like the old days.
Anyway, appreciate it, John.
I hope it's a wake-up call, but I am not I I think a lot of the media's purposely distorted what happened yesterday, and and you know, to me it's just predictable.
However, Republicans, wake the hell up.
Because if you want to win, you better start listening to the major things I'm saying.
Vote early, vote by mail, get over your reluctance and resistance, get in the ballot harvesting game, the legal ballot harvesting game.
And lastly, I am telling you, do not let Democrats demagogue and lie about you on any topic, including abortion.
Now, if you don't listen to me and you lose, you have nobody to blame but yourself.
Uh, and they do need to pick some better candidates.
Some of their candidates just suck.
All right, quick break right back to our phones.
800-941-SHAWN, our number if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.

Hannity uncovers the real truth.
About the politics of DC.
He's your watchdog on big brother.
Every day.
Hannity is on right now.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
Uh let's say hi to Frank in Pennsylvania.
What's up, Frank?
How are you, my friend?
Okay, uh Sean, thanks for taking the call.
I went to vote yesterday.
Yeah.
Uh I'm a naturalized citizen.
I've been uh out of the country several times, a couple of communist countries.
I see how those people live, and when I come back to this country, I appreciate everything we have.
I have a friend, you've got to love this one.
I think she's in her fifties.
She's never voted.
I got on her case and she got mad at me.
Why doesn't she want to vote?
I they I don't know.
I told her, hey, uh you vote the wrong you you vo vote uh wrong person in, it's your problem.
I even told I'm not sure if it's true.
One of the school boards, uh they looked at the books, they won't the books on the shelves, and I said uh said uh the school she went to uh something about a library.
Oh, they don't have a library at school.
Uh what?
Listen, I I mean, I don't think people realize but the lack of participation will impact their lives, but what are you gonna do?
Drag them to the polls and force them to do something they're not gonna do.
Problems we have in this country.
Your food prices are sky high, your gas prices are uh out of phrase it out of out of hand.
Uh I want to fix this income right now.
Uh I'm barely I'm surviving the best I can.
Uh uh thing is the voters voter stuff.
My opinion, when you go to get your driver's license somewhere on that driver's license, should be an imprint that hey, I can vote.
We definitely need voter ID, Signature verification.
Uh, chain of custody controls.
You need updated voter rolls, and you need partisan observers watching the voting up close and the vote counting when the polls close.
I've said this now.
I've been saying it and saying it and saying it.
Maybe I'm not saying it enough.
I'll continue to say it until Republicans and conservatives wake up.
Uh, I don't know what the country's gonna look like if we continue down this path.
And you know, this I I wish I had magical powers where I can get people to do what I want them to do, but I don't have those powers.
I can just try and educate, inform, and entertain, and and hope that people get it and get the word out.
The stakes could not be any higher.
We see everything falling apart around us, right here in this country and around the world.
I don't like what I'm seeing.
I'm very concerned about the world and our country.
I've never been this concerned.
And I'm not a warrior type of person.
I don't like to worry.
I don't worry.
You know, the only people in my life that get me to worry are my kids.
And I that's been since day one.
They're born.
I'd go in every night when they're little babies, I'd be like checking if they're breathing twenty times a night like an erotic, you know, helicopter dud.
Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend.
Everybody's got to do their part.
That's how it's gonna work.
