We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down on Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
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.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
All right, that's Leonard Skinner, simple man.
That means only one thing on this radio program.
That's all things Simple Man, self-proclaimed, Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly, on his website, billo'reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
I got a fun question for you, and then I got a serious question for you.
Which would you like to start with, Mr. O'Reilly?
I will give you, because unlike you, you know, this is kind of, you know, I give you cupcake interviews.
Hannity, this is not going to be a cupcake interview.
I'm just telling you when I go on the factor.
But I'm nice to you when I put you on my show.
I'm very nice to you.
Well, because I'm a fun guy, as you know, we'll take the fun.
All right, you want to take the fun question first?
All right, so we're not going to be on the air next Wednesday.
It's the day before Thanksgiving.
Right.
And by the way, we all have a lot to be grateful and thankful for.
We live in the greatest country God gave man, although at times things are not looking good.
And we have the blessings of liberty that we inherited and we must preserve for our children or grandchildren.
But here's my question, Bill O'Reilly.
What do you do if, you know, because families get together?
Then you have your crazy family members, you know, maybe the ones that have been out there shouting calls for Antifada or Alahu Akbar or our crazy climate alarmists that love the Green New Deal and radical socialism and that will defend to the death that Joe Biden actually knows that it's Thanksgiving.
How do you deal with those relatives?
Now, in the O'Reilly household, do you pull out turkey legs and start throwing them?
Or do you, you know, how would you advise people to handle their crazy relatives over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays?
Yeah, I mean, my daughter's a little nutty.
She's in law school and you know what happens there.
Bill, you can't say that about your daughter.
Come on.
Again, I'm an accurate journalist.
I'm saying it with affection.
I don't scold her, and I don't, if she wants to debate, I debate, but she very rarely does.
She simply wants to parrot what they're telling her in the law school.
Now, does she go out of her way to sometimes bring these issues up, knowing that it's going to spark the O'Reilly ire?
That's not what she does.
She just waits for me to say something that offends the woke people, which I do pretty much every minute of the day.
And then she'll go, and she'll get a little out.
But I always diffuse it with humor.
And that's the best way to handle all of this stuff because it really doesn't matter.
I mean, I know that she's a good person, my daughter.
And I know that in five years, she'll be a completely different person than she is now in the lunatic asylum of the law school.
So I'm not worried, and I'm not offended by any debate.
I mean, I debate with Chris Cuomo every week.
Come on.
It's impossible to offend me.
By the way, he's not figured out how to deal with you yet.
I did see some segments.
He's not figured out how to deal with you.
Well, nobody except you know, Hannah.
You can do it.
But we've known each other now, I think, going on 30 years.
So if you don't know by now, you'll never know.
But anyway, in my house, it's a traditional Thanksgiving, although wearing the pilgrim hats are optional.
Now, do you wear the pilgrim hat yourself?
No, because I don't want to mess up my hair.
I don't have that much left.
Okay.
I can lend you some of mine.
It's a little wider than it used to be, but I have plenty of it.
You got the good hair, Gene.
I don't, you know, the broke.
Whatever.
Yep.
So this year, I'm going to do something different.
I'm going to read aloud from Killing the Witches about the actual voyage of the Mayflower from Plymouth, England at Cape Cod.
Stop right there.
You're not going to read your killing series book at Thanksgiving dinner.
Are you serious?
Everybody thinks the voyage was the love boat or a prince's cruise line, and it wasn't.
That's funny.
The most interesting character of all of this is a Native American named Squanto.
One boat, Mayflower, 100 passengers, 66 days in the North Atlantic freezing.
It was so rough that the people on the boat could not go up on deck.
And this is chronicled in Killing the Witches.
Okay, one guy defies the order, and they're all Puritans, by the way.
He goes up on deck, and immediately he's swept overboard by the wind, and he's in the water.
And miraculously, and I mean that literally, there is a rope hanging off the boat that he grabs and he survives the ordeal.
They couldn't come out of the hole, as they call it in boats, because the weather was so terrible.
Can you imagine 66 days crammed together?
So anyway, I'm reading aloud.
I'm not going to do that till after dinner because if I do it before, that might dampen some of the appetites.
Hey, Bill, if you read it before or after, you're going to chase everybody.
Oh, I got to go.
I got another appointment.
Oh, I want to go see this new movie that just came out two minutes ago.
You're going to chase everybody away.
But that's good, so I can watch the football by myself and I don't have to listen to this chatter.
Oh, my gosh.
Bill O'Reilly, the only person on earth that calls his children, which, by the way, he has two great kids, urchins.
I mean, you just crack me up.
All right, now to the serious question.
Yes.
And I'm very angry about this.
I'm going to try and take the anger and the emotion out of my question to you, but I'll get your simple man take on this because I find it inexplicable.
Now, Joe Biden, through this idiot Winkin Blinken, Secretary of State, has extended a waiver allowing Iran to access $10 billion with funds coming from Iraq to pay for, quote, electricity resources provided by Tehran, Tehran.
Now, if you can explain this to me, I would like an answer.
And the second thing I'd like an answer to is why is Joe Biden making deals and sucking up to China?
So you have to start with the premise that Joe Biden, the president of the United States, does not want confrontation anywhere ever.
His governing style is no confrontation, no matter what anybody does to the United States.
You start there.
In the latest Iran-Iraq deal, the government of Baghdad said to the U.S. Ambassador, we need electricity.
The only way we can get it is to buy it from Iran, because they are neighboring countries.
So please let us have the electricity.
And that's what they did.
Now, you can argue it, but it was done to placade Iraq, which is a mess, as everybody knows.
Now, on the second point of appeasing the Chinese, Biden has no clue.
He's there today in San Francisco.
He'll have a press conference this evening, and obviously you'll cover it.
I'll cover it on the No Spin News on billorilly.com.
What Biden is there to do is be ceremonial.
You have to understand this.
And I talked to Mike Pompeo about this, the former Secretary of State under Trump.
And you like Pompeo, correct?
I love Pompeo.
He's great.
Okay.
I think he's a brilliant man.
So I talked to him about it.
And I said, look, both you and I know that Biden is ceremonial.
He doesn't make any decisions.
The decision is going to be made by Blinken, who you just disparaged, and Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor.
Bill, do they not deserve disparagement?
Sometimes he does.
Yeah.
But she has the tremendous advantage in the meeting today in San Francisco of being a, as I'm going to quote Donald Trump, very smart guy.
He understands all the nuances of the rivalry between his country and the United States.
Joe Biden does not.
Here's my bigger question, though.
Because China, put COVID aside, if you look at unfair trade practices, intellectual property theft.
Hang on.
If you look at all the fentanyl they are producing and delivering to our southern border to kill our children and kill people in this country, if you look at the spy drone that they allowed to fly over, if you look at China has repeatedly been confronting our fighter jets in international airspace.
They have repeatedly been confronting our Navy in international waterways.
They have been threatening our ally, Taiwan, non-stop flights, spider jets flying over Taiwan airspace.
If I were president, I would be confronting him on those issues, and I would get in his face, and I would explain in great specificity and detail what the consequences would be if they don't stop.
That's how I would handle it.
And by the way, that's how Mike Pompeo would handle it.
But Hannity, Biden isn't going to do that because his philosophy is do not confront.
And Americans should know what the philosophy is.
Here's what you voted for, you 80 million people who voted for Joe Biden.
Bill, I think everybody in the country knows I did not vote for him.
No, I know, but I'm talking to the people who did.
You voted for a man who is weak, befuddled, and is not going to confront any problem whatsoever.
If you think back in three years, no one can tell me one problem that Joe Biden has solved.
Not one.
Everything is worse.
So the important, you have to take the meeting with Xi.
You can't threaten Xi outright.
That would not be smart.
She says he's going to cut back on fentanyl in return for the United States lifting sanctions off one of these spy agencies in China.
Well, she promised that five other times before extending all the way back to the Trump administration.
And he's violated it every time.
So whatever she says, I don't really matter.
The important thing about this meeting is that they are talking, which shows that China, as arrogant as it is, is worried.
And they're worried about their own economy.
And they need American markets.
And that's the advantage the USA has.
If we shut down our markets, and it wouldn't happen under Biden, but Biden's only going to be there for 12 more months.
Okay?
And I don't believe he's even going to run, as we've discussed before.
But China has a weakness, and that's what you do.
You look him in the eye and go, look, we want to get along with you, but we're not going to tolerate X, Y, and Z, what you just said.
But you don't threaten him.
You say, we're not going to tolerate that.
But if you moderate a little bit, then our trade is going to increase, which is going to help you.
That's how I would handle it if I were there negotiating with Xi.
But again, the disadvantage is that Joe Biden doesn't know anything about this.
He's incapable of this kind of analysis.
If he were talking to you instead of me right now, he could not have put together two sentences of what you and I just talked about.
Biden is incapable of doing that.
And that's what everybody should understand now.

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.
I'm Leon Napok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.

All right, we continue now with All Things Simple Man, Bill O'Reilly, AllTingsO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Well, here's one other thing that I want you to comment on.
Okay.
It is infuriating to me, Bill, that he's here Israel, the worst terror attack in their history.
And Joe Biden is saying publicly he wants a pause in the conflict.
Why?
So Hamas can rearm, re-strategize, replenish their supplies?
How would America act if we were hit with the equivalent population-wise of losing nearly 40,000 Americans in a single day, Bill?
Wouldn't you want, would you listen to any country, any country telling you to pause?
We got about 20 seconds.
Okay, that's already on the books.
After 9-11, there was no pause.
Okay?
United States went after the jihadists.
And after the mistake of the Iraq war, they decimated al-Qaeda and ISIS by using SMART.
And I write all about this, as you know, in Killing the Killers.
So we have a new president now, Biden.
He's not a good president, and all Americans are suffering, but I want everybody to have a happy Thanksgiving.
I want to give you one suggestion for Thanksgiving, and maybe this will get you away from reading to your children.
So I'm an executive producer.
We have a fun, fun, age-appropriate.
Anybody in the family will get a lot of fun out of it.
New movie.
I'm the executive producer of it.
It's called Jingle Smells.
And if you go to Hannity.com or just tell Linda, I will give you a free viewing on Rumble.
Okay?
All right.
How do you spell Jingle Smells?
That's correct.
It is hilarious.
It's really a fun movie.
All right.
I'm watching it, Hannity.
I can't guarantee you it'll be on Thanksgiving Day, but it'll come out Thanksgiving Day, Bill.
You can watch it over the weekend.
You can watch it any day you want, anytime you want.
Good.
And you have Linda get that to me, and I'll be happy to write a book report for you.
Yeah, write a book report and then give me a cupcake interview.
All right, Bill O'Reilly.
All things O'Reilly, BillOReilly.com.
Thank you, sir.
Always fine.
25 to the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean, our number.
We're going to get to your calls here in a second.
We all witnessed, the world witnessed these heinous attacks by Hamas terrorists against innocent Israeli citizens and, you know, the 1,400-plus people murdered and the hundreds taken hostage, including women and young children.
And, you know, to date, four of the hostages have been released.
One has been rescued.
That's it.
And I know there are negotiations going on.
We can pray that they are fruitful.
Everybody in Israel is feeling this war, this war.
They're all feeling it.
You have hundreds of thousands of people, citizens of Israel, that have been displaced.
Schools, along with many businesses, have been closed.
Many neighborhoods, especially bordered areas in the north and in the south, they've had to be evacuated.
And there are hundreds of thousands of people in Israel in need of just bare necessities.
And thank goodness, there's the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
They're on the ground right now, and they are helping the Israeli people that have been displaced, that need assistance.
They're providing all the critical essentials you would expect, you know, simple stuff like food and water and medicine, emergency supplies, a place to stay.
There are so many people that are in dire need.
The country is obviously distracted.
They have to watch, you know, they're fighting the war in Gaza in the south.
They're watching the rockets being fired from Lebanon and Hezbollah in the north.
But they need your help to continue this humanitarian work.
And if you can help them, we've set up a special website.
And also, another way you can donate is just dial pound250 on your, on your cell phone, say the keyword Hannity for Israel, pound250, keyword, Hannity for Israel, or just go to the same website.
It's HannityForIsrael.com.
That's H-A-N-N-I-T-Y-F-O-R-Israel.com.
And whatever you can donate, they're on the ground.
It is immediately being Being used to help people that are in desperate need as a result of these terror attacks, and your generosity is needed now more than ever.
You know, let me give you an example.
I saw this on Media.
One of the fathers of his eight-year-old daughter.
Now, think of this as a parent.
You're an eight-year-old father, you have an eight-year-old daughter.
I mean, it's like one of the greatest ages to have a kid, right?
You go through the baby stages, Google Gaga, changing diapers, and then all of a sudden, as the kids get older, you know, then you go through the walking stage, and then you go through, you just get to an age when they're really fun and you recognize that they're their own person and they've got a personality and they're fun to hang out with, fun to play with, fun to do stuff with.
Well, this is a father whose eight-year-old little girl is being held hostage by Hamas.
Listen to this.
How often are you getting information, either from the Irish officials, the U.S. officials?
Very, very little.
Nobody really knows anything.
I just, I know for a fact that she's not dead.
I know for a fact that she was led away by the Hamas terrorists.
There's eyewitness accounts of it.
But someone saw her being led away.
Her and her friend and her friend's mother.
Can I ask you, say I know for a fact, and that is the reporting.
But do you also feel it?
You know, parents feel something with their children that is in, right, a bond like no other.
Can you feel, Emily?
No.
No.
My feelings, I can't let my feelings interfere with getting her back.
It's like a campaign.
We just keep moving forward.
I don't even see the interviews.
I don't have time to look at the interviews.
I don't watch the news.
I haven't got time for it.
It's just full on get Emily back.
We mentioned, and you've spoken about her birthday on Friday via the billboards.
Yeah.
And driving and not being able to stop and think.
How much of that is because you have a goal here, because you have a true purpose in North Star, and how much of that is because you don't want to stop and think about what's going on right now.
Yeah, I can't.
I actually keep her in a special place.
I don't want to imagine what she's going through every day for, what, 38 days now.
I can't think about it.
It would be too painful.
You know, she's Gaza with the Hamas.
I don't want to think of what conditions she's in.
How she's being treated, how she's being fed, if she's being given water.
And just has she got toothbrush and toothpaste.
Toilet facilities.
You know, these are tunnels underneath Gaza.
I don't know.
Could be like the cattle, the train carts in the Second World War.
They were just all in a cattle car and pee and poo where you stood.
I don't know.
I know you have said when you get her back, you will take her to Disney World and you will give her the world.
And she is so lucky to have you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm not going to send her to school for at least a year.
We're going to give her the world just happy times and fix her.
You know, she's not going to come back.
None of them are going to come back the way they went in.
They're going to be mentally and physically and emotionally broken.
Now, if that doesn't break your heart, if that doesn't touch your soul, then there's got to be something wrong with you.
Just like all these people that have been out there calling for antifada from the river to the sea, you know, gas the Jews, F the Jews, all the pro-Hamas groups showing up on college campuses.
It's unbelievable.
800-941-Sean, our number, you want to be a part of the program.
Let's say hi to Juliette.
She's in Oklahoma.
Juliette, how are you?
I got a question about your senator.
I mean, I'm sure you saw the video of your senator down there and that little battle that he was, he called out the labor leader.
I actually thought it was a pretty fun moment.
Yeah, you know, I wonder, though, who's the adult in charge in our government?
I mean, those guys are good, you know, to stand up for us, but, you know, that's why they've got to come to blows.
There's nobody in charge.
I don't know if that's the reason.
I mean, you had this labor leader that called out your senator, and the senator said, okay, you know, you called me out in the privacy of your own little, you know, cage, wherever, you know, basement, wherever you're texting or tweeting away or wherever you do your social media.
And I kind of like the fact that, you know what he said?
Okay, I'm a former MMA fighter.
You want to throw down with me?
We're two consenting adults.
Let's do it right here, right now.
I don't know.
I'm kind of old school.
When I grew up, I don't know if it was like this for you, Juliet.
When I played with my friends and we played sports, we probably fought 90% of days that we played together.
I mean, it was like standard.
Now, if you have a kid say, you know, they use the wrong pronoun, they're like sent to re-education camps in schools.
That's how crazy it's gotten.
Well, I'm glad that he was willing to do that.
And the other guy.
I was too.
What's that?
The other guy was asking for it.
But, you know, in the end, he let reason overcome, I guess.
But it was fun antics.
By the way, he would have kicked that guy's ass.
This guy's a former MMA fighter.
For sure.
I actually, you know what?
Let us go back to that.
In some ways, you know, we need to find or somehow.
Look, I mean, it's not going to happen.
It's probably not the right message to send our kids.
I get it.
I mean, what are we going to return to the days where politicians are having duels and shooting at each other?
We don't want to go back to those days.
But it was entertaining for a moment, the fact that he called them out because you have these, I call them keyboard warriors and their underwear in their basement.
They're real tough when they're alone and, quote, anonymous or they're not in front of the people they're attacking.
Then when you have to confront the people that you attacked, it gets a little different, doesn't it?
Right.
Well, it's good to see a little bit of testosterone somewhere.
You're not against toxic masculinity?
I'm shocked.
No.
Hey, we need everyone to be themselves and to bring it out.
And this guy had a little bit of fight in him, and I'm glad.
So, you know, here I am in Oklahoma and we're the center of the United States basically.
And we are feeling it.
I called because I am a real estate agent and last month, our brokerage is selling 74% less than the month before.
It's killing the housing industry.
I mean, Biden inflation has killed that house.
It's killed.
New home construction has basically stopped.
Sale of pre-existing homes, it's not happening.
In your city, it's down 74%.
And I don't see that it's going to recover anytime soon.
Let me ask you this question because you're in the real estate business.
How many people would be willing to give up a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in exchange for an 8% 30-year fixed rate mortgage?
How much more per month will they be paying in interest, let's say, on a $500,000 house in your area?
So I'm not a lender, and it's all relative, but ballpark is that, you know, two years ago, whatever the rate was, and now for a $500,000 loan, you're going to spend almost $2,000 a payment more.
Okay, so that's $2,000 a month.
That's $24,000 a year.
Multiply $24,000 a year times, what, over 30 years times 30, and that's what you've got over 30 years.
Now, you want to talk to a lender to crunch those numbers better, but I'm giving you ballpark figures.
But that's what's making people stay because they've got a really low interest rate.
They don't want to, they can't trade up because they can't.
So they should have done that.
If they're going to raise rates, do it a lot more slowly because everyone's just dying on the vine here.
And the first-time buyers, they're just priced out of the market.
They're priced out of the market, but there's also this fear that is something that you can address.
People think it's kind of the end of the world sort of thing.
And so they're just like stopping any kind of major decisions because they're waiting to see what's happening.
Like if Joe can't even put a reef on a grave, what's going to happen tomorrow?
Listen, I'm with you.
I hear you exactly what you're saying.
You know, if your business is down 74%, your income is down 74% this year.
That is too much for any one family to take on without suffering significant financial difficulty, regardless of what your standard of living happened to be.
We make decisions based on what we average out every year that we make.
And I know that your business is largely commission-based.
And if you're not selling homes, you're not bringing in income.
I mean, it's got to be tough on your family.
I've got a second job.
I just got to, I got another job selling cars.
Wow.
How's that going, by the way?
Hey, bring it on.
I'm okay with the hustle.
I want to get people what they need and what they want and what they can afford.
And whatever the case, it's all good.
I hope, by the way, I give you a lot of credit.
I hope people learn from you because what you've done is you're adapting to a changing environment.
Eventually, hopefully, you'll get back into the real estate, which you probably prefer more.
But in the meantime, by hook or by crook, you're going to find ways to bring in income for your family.
And I applaud you for that.
And so many other Americans can learn from that.
Well, if it's not working, you know, it's like driving into a cul-de-sac.
You got to make a U-turn and you've got to go another direction.
So I've seen this happening.
You get on all these real estate groups and things like that.
Everybody's asking for, you know, what can I do?
And what's a side hustle?
And, you know, it's really tough.
I am just calling and saluting you for giving us that piece.
And you're always, you know, let not the heart be troubled.
And that is huge for our economy.
Overcoming obstacles is life's biggest challenge.
Everybody in life, nobody goes through life without facing challenges.
Whatever the obstacle happens to be, you've got to work your way around it.
It makes you tougher.
It makes you stronger.
If you approach it the right way, it'll build your character.
You know, I never really thought I'd be successful in radio or TV.
I just assumed I wouldn't be.
And I always assumed that I'd have to work another job, but I just still wanted to be on the radio, whether I was getting paid a lot of money, which I wasn't or not.
And in the beginning, I was paid nothing.
You know, my first paid gig was $19,000 a year.
And I was like the happiest guy on earth that I could work in broadcasting.
And yeah, I did side jobs at the time too.
But listen, I'm praying for you and your family.
I hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
I applaud your, you know, I applaud your ability to think out of the box, stay in the game, adapt to circumstances, and I pray that things turn around fast so you can get back to what you love to do.
Okay.
And the same to you.
Thanks so much.
You have a great Thanksgiving too.

The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's Conservative Solutions.
You know, 9-11 illnesses, it's very real, by the way, and it's taking lives all these years later.
We have a whole generation that seems to know nothing about 9-1101.
I know it's hard to believe, but it's true.
Now, our friends at the Tunnel to Towers 9-11 Institute, they launched literally, they want to write this wrong, and they're helping to educate kids K through 12th grade about 9-11.
And they have their nonfiction first-person accounts that are told through videos and their series of books called Discovering Heroes.
Now, these accounts are moving.
They're unparalleled.
Kids are not going to forget these true stories.
Now, the Institute also offers full curriculum units with scripted social studies lessons and activities and background for teachers, plus a speakers bureau for classrooms with access to 9-11 first responders, survivors, and loved ones.
They have their mobile exhibit too, a tractor trailer, interactive museum with 9-11 artifacts.
They have their Russell F. Siller Memorial Scholarships for kids or program recipients who are exemplary high school students preparing for college.
Anyway, they can't do this work without your help and your generosity.
And we hope all of you will join all of us here at Team Hannity and commit to $11 a month.
All you have to do is go to their website, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org, the letter T, the number two, the letter T.org for the Tunnel to Towers Foundation.

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.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
