Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
The iconic Leonard Skinner, Simple Man.
And that can only mean one thing on this radio program.
All things self-proclaimed, Simple Man.
That means all things Bill O'Reilly, and you get all things Bill O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, thank you for joining us on this holy week.
We appreciate it.
And, you know, I know maybe hopefully you're taking a couple of days off and be with the fam and have a good time.
Yeah, it's a little shout out.
I'm going to the funeral of the slain New York City police officer on Saturday in Nassapequa, Long Island.
By the way, I'm glad you're going to that.
I really am.
Does that not break your heart?
Yeah, it's really.
And he attended St. Mary's, which is my parent.
And one-year-old child, and everybody's reported it.
But when you look at the gross irresponsibility of what led up to this, and these two thugs in the car combine 35 felony arrests out on the street, both armed, and you have to then step back and tamp down your anger.
So my sympathy, of course, is with the family.
Bill, can I add one thing?
Sure.
These people that have instituted these policies that would allow people that have 35 felonies, felony arrests, no bail, defund, dismantle, reimagine the police.
I'm sorry.
They have blood on their hands, Bill.
They do.
It is reckless and irresponsible.
And all these crimes, violent crimes, murder, rape that are happening by Joe Biden's unvetted 10 million illegal immigrants, every crime they commit and whatever terror attack is coming our way, and I predict it's going to happen, but I pray to God I'm wrong, Bill.
When that happens, they will have blood on their hands again.
And why this doesn't keep Joe Biden awake at night, I don't understand.
This is beyond a dereliction of duty.
Let me try.
It is a clear and present danger.
Go ahead.
Let me try to explain it.
And a lot of folks just don't believe it because it goes against their nature.
There are people in this world who are sociopathic.
That means they don't have empathy for anybody but themselves.
I put Joe Biden in that category.
I've watched the man decades.
I've seen him reverse every single belief system he's ever had.
He parades around as Catholic Joe going a mass, and he is the most pro-abortion president by far, even way worse than Hillary Clinton.
Okay.
And you say, how could you possibly hold that belief and go up to the communion rail?
You couldn't if you had some kind of vision or conscience.
You couldn't.
So Biden compartmentalizes, and it's all about Joe.
It's all about getting and keeping power.
So if people have to die in the process, he would never admit to himself that he's the cause of that.
So then go down to Albany and go down to New York City, where you had the same mentality.
These people can't deny their own policies of getting people killed because they are.
The bodies are there.
officer Diller was a human being 31 years old three years on the force and he's dead and he's dead because I believe and I believe he has a one-year-old Yes, one-year-old baby.
And he's dead because of politicians who passed these insane Nobel laws, who will not punish criminals because they think the criminal justice system is racist.
That's where it all comes down to.
And Bill, they're the same people that will talk about insurrection, insurrection, insurrection.
Every incident here is resulting in death.
Use whatever phrase you want, but they think they have the moral high ground on all these things.
Now, we've learned a lot of things we were not told about January 6th that put a lot more context and texture on it.
They interviewed the Secret Service agent driving Donald Trump.
He did not try to commandeer the vehicle.
They hid that from the American people, Bill.
They hid from the American people that Trump wanted to call up 10,000 guard troops in the days leading up to that.
They hid that the Capitol Police Chief requested the same.
They are dishonest to the core, Bill.
And we've got an information crisis in this country, which I want to ask you about next.
Go ahead.
So that's Liz Cheney.
And I think that your responsible media and it's dwindling.
You know, Hanny, pretty soon it's just going to be me and you.
By the way, I think we're pretty close to there now.
I mean, we have to put names on these things now.
I mean, we have to tell people that Governor Hochl of New York is partially responsible for Officer Diller's death.
And so is former Governor Cuomo.
Now, they won't ever go to the funeral mess.
Can you imagine if Hochl walked into that funeral on Saturday?
No, it would not be good.
I wouldn't.
And I always say protect our politicians, Democrat, Republican.
We must.
It's a must.
It's at the top of the list.
But we need to protect our citizens, too, Bill.
Our cops need to be protected.
You're getting a living Adam shit cooked out of them in Times Square on video, Bill.
I'm sick of it.
On the same day that Officer Diller was assassinated by people who have been arrested 35 times, a commuter was pushed in front of a subway train and was killed by another guy who had a long, long rap sheet and shouldn't have been out on the street.
Now, Trump says he's going to go to the wake of the officer.
And I just hope, and I hope, you know, he follows you closely, so I hope he hears my words here.
I would do that mostly in private with the family and visitors.
You know, he did meet with Lake and Riley's family privately.
Right, I did.
The best way to do this because you can imagine the overwhelming emotions of everybody here.
We don't want to whip up during the wig or the funeral.
And the only reason I'm telling your audience is most people don't live in New York.
They don't know what's happening here.
But it's happening all over the country.
It's not just New York.
Every urban center is now controlled by these far-left DAs who want to enforce the law.
So people got to know.
And, you know, it's funny, Joe Biden never one time has addressed this issue, just as he has never explained why he opened the border.
And he feels that his obligation is not to the American people.
It's to the far left that controls him and funds him.
I mean, when you read my book, Hannity, and I'm going to hire somebody to read it to you, confronting the presidents.
You were doing great up until you just became a jackass.
Why do you do something like that?
What is that all about?
It amuses me.
I'm glad I amuse you.
Somebody has to do this, and it's my job.
So when I hire you, and the person will be very articulate to follow you around and read you confronting the presidents because you're busy, and I know you can't sit down and read, but you'll see.
Actually, I have read some of your books.
I haven't read all of them, but I've read you write too many of them.
I can't keep up.
I write one a year.
I know how hard that is.
No, Bill, I've got to read voluminous amounts of information daily, so I have four hours of content.
So do I, Hannity, and I have to write them.
No, you don't.
I write it too.
And by the way, I don't write the radio show, but I write my scripts at night.
But wait a minute.
You don't do four hours of content a day.
We do.
We do a lot of content.
You don't do four hours like me.
Well, I'm on your show today.
I'm on NewsNation tonight.
Oh, this is like a cupcake interview for you.
Okay.
But the point of the matter is there have been sociopaths in the past of our country who have been president and exhibited the same kind of behavior that Joe Biden is.
People don't even understand that.
So let me make a segue because I know time is tight into the MSNBC NBC news thing.
All right.
Now, slow down because that was actually where I was going to go with this interview today.
But I'm really glad that you're going on a serious note on Saturday.
And I'm sure it'll mean a lot to the family.
And Donald Trump should, you know, I am sure that he will be seated in the church if he's going to the funeral.
Just going to the wake.
Okay.
Well, regardless, I mean, he's going to go in, and the media will want to be there.
I hope they don't let the media anywhere near it.
I would not, now, Donald Trump will not have that say.
That'll be up to the family, and the family has a right to say no cameras at our son's wake.
I mean, for crying out loud, can we have some level of decency?
They will.
All right, quick break, right back more with Simple Man, self-proclaimed, all things Bill O'Reilly, and allthingsO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Then we'll get to your calls next half hour, 800-941-Sean is our number as we roll along this Wednesday.
All right, we continue now.
Bill O'Reilly is with us, allthings O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
And I may have to actually carry you over into the next half hour.
You're that good a guest today.
But I want to play for you.
And I noticed, I don't know if you stole my words from the radio show because I noticed the next day we had used the same phrase that the inmates are running the asylum.
Yeah, I think first.
Okay, I don't believe so, but if you want to convince yourself of that lie, you go right ahead.
Actually, I think it probably was a case of Great Minds Think Alike because the inmates are running the asylum.
And both of us have had long, successful careers in cable news, and we know a lot about it.
And I want to get into some of the detail.
Maybe I'll even set this up for the bottom of the half hour, but I want to play for you.
MS, I call it DNC, MSDNC hosts ripping their network, the people that write their checks, because they dared to hire a Republican that happened to be a Trump supporter, a network that won't even run a Trump speech.
This is them going insane and throwing a temper tantrum.
Listen.
hope NBC will reconsider its decision.
It goes without saying that she will not be a guest on Morning Joe in her capacity as a paid contributor.
She is also, as of last week, a very, very well-paid contributor to NBC News, something that has alarmed many of us in this company because Ronna McDaniel has been a major peddler of the big lie.
The fact that Ms. McDaniel is on the payroll at NBC News, to me, that is inexplicable.
I mean, you wouldn't hire a wise guy.
You wouldn't hire a made man like a mobster to work at a DA's office, right?
I found out about it on Friday when it was publicly announced.
I stopped inviting Trump liars like her on this program in 2016.
I wanted to work on behalf of the American people to try to make their lives better.
That's why I did campaigns.
But here's the thing.
That kind of experience only matters and only has value to viewers, all of you, if it is paired with honesty.
This is about truth versus lies.
Service to the country versus service to one man committed to toppling our democratic system.
That is the type of experience that Ronna McDaniel brings to the table.
Then we have the MSDNC hosts celebrating their efforts to basically, it was sort of like a coup, get Ronna McDaniel after only one appearance.
My understanding, it was a two-year deal, getting her fired after one appearance.
They couldn't handle one appearance of somebody that has a different point of view than they do.
And then my favorite comment was, well, we don't mind talking to Republicans.
We'd love to talk to Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.
They're not Republicans.
But anyway, let me play that.
I just have to say, when somebody does the right thing, I feel like it should be acknowledged as publicly as we acknowledged our outrage.
And so I know how I feel about it.
I am grateful to Cesar for actually making the right decision.
I think it was the right decision.
Acknowledging that you might have gotten something wrong is a real sign of strength, a real show of strength.
And I think it's a show of strength.
And I think it's a show of respect for the people who work at this company and who make us who we are.
That leadership is willing to change on this.
And I'm grateful to them.
We really are trying to get it right.
We are not feeding you lies to be good team players.
It's a foundational principle for both working in the press and, I think, healthy democratic dialogue and debate.
And I have to say, I really appreciate working in a place that was able to say, we got this one wrong, and they made the right decision.
All right, let's get your general take on it before I have to take a break.
Okay, so I saw your coverage on TV last night, and Koncha, it was pretty good.
But what everybody's missing is this is a far bigger story than is being reported.
Number one, NBC News and another cliché is jumped the shark.
So they're never going to come back as a legitimate news agency.
It is now solely a carrier for liberal information to a left-wing audience.
All right.
Now, I'm going to leave it there because I want to get your remarks.
I really want your take on this, and I want to have a little discussion about it.
All things simple, man.
Bill O'Reilly is with us.
AllthingsO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
He's being so good today.
We're going to carry him over a little bit into the next half hour.
Then we'll get your calls in.
800-941-Sean is our number.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Bill O'Reilly's been such a good guest today.
We are holding him over.
Then we'll get to your calls coming up.
Our toll-free telephone number is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Before we get back to Bill, the organization I've been telling you about is very, very close to home for me.
It is the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Now, it's been, what, six months have passed since Hamas responsible for the worst terror attack in Israel's history, killing so many people, taking so many others as hostages.
And, you know, Israel right now, they are in a war for their very survival economically on the ground.
Israelis, hundreds of thousands of them are suffering.
Many thousands of Israelis can't return to their homes as now things have been heating up in the north with Lebanon and Hezbollah.
Now, the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, the IFCJ, they have been there on the ground from day one.
They're in the middle of this every day.
They are distributing critical essentials, food, medicine, emergency supplies to hundreds of thousands of suffering Israelis.
They are in desperate need right now, and we are partnering with them.
They need your donations urgently.
And to give to this life-saving organization, please go to their website.
One word, supportifcj.org.
Supportifj.org.
If you donate today, that gift will be matched by a generous donor.
That will double the impact of your generosity.
Anyway, supportifcj.org.
All right.
Just before we went to break, we played MSDNC host, you know, ripping on their management, everything starting from Chucky Todd to Liberal Joe to, let's see, Nicole Wallace, Joyless Reed.
Who else do we have?
Oh, conspiracy theorist extraordinaire, Rachel Maddow in her case.
And what do we call Larry, Looney Larry now, Lawrence O'Donnell?
Anyway, they're all going crazy.
And we also played after management capitulated to the inmates running the asylum.
They were celebrating.
It's unbelievable.
If you are a Republican, a conservative, or God forbid, pro-Trump, that's how you are treated at NBC News.
You know, they claim that they all claim that they are journalists.
They're not.
They got everything wrong.
They live in a world of Trump derangement and hatred.
They fixate on, and it is their programming 24-7.
They claim they're journalists.
No, they are talk show hosts like I admit that I am.
We do journalism.
We do investigative journalism.
We do opinion.
But I'm honest about who I am.
I am a conservative.
I want conservatives because I believe their philosophy is a better governing philosophy.
And when they're wrong, we call them out.
We do opinion.
We do culture.
We do sports.
We're like the entire newspaper.
I'm a member of the press, but I'm a talk show host, and so are they, except they claim to be something they're not.
Anyway, Bill O'Reilly responding to the tape we played.
I won't play it again.
We have both worked in cable news combined over like, you know, cable news only.
And I know you worked at ABC and CBS, but about 50 plus years between the two of us.
And now I'm the longest running primetime cable news host in history.
Bill, you know how bad I was on day one.
The fact that I ever reached that milestone, if you bet on it in 1996, it was a bad bet.
Now, I was hired to do a job.
My job is to do the best show possible, hired as a talk show host with opinions to give opinions.
And the idea that Fox would ever consult me about their hirings or firings, it's beyond laughable to me.
I am not the management of Fox.
I am not.
I don't own the channel.
I kind of wish I did.
Channel does very well.
However, I don't.
And have I recommended people over the years?
Sure.
Have they sometimes listened and taken a recommendation?
Yes, they have.
Have they sometimes said, no, we disagree and not take my recommendation?
That's happened as well.
But I don't overstep that line.
I have people that I must report to.
With that said, I'm never told.
I've never been told what to say or not say.
They expect me to be responsible in how I run my show, and I am.
Bill O'Reilly, I think you had the same experience at Fox, if I'm not mistaken.
Yeah, nobody ever told me what to say.
I had a little, you know, once in a while, we'd have a little point of view discussion about certain things, but it was run in a fair way.
Usually, by the way, when you wanted to attack me and rush, but I will let those days be bygones, but I'm kidding.
Go ahead.
I mean, come on.
Look, this is a much bigger story than people really understand.
So we have three networks in America, ABC, CBS, and NBC.
And you are looking at NBC jumping the shark to use the cliche.
They are never again going to be looked at as a news agency.
It's like CNN.
It's exactly the same thing that happened with CNN.
CNN at one time was a premier news agency.
You could tune in to get information first.
And then they went nuts under Jeff Zucker to hate Trump.
That is what happened, it is happening to NBC News.
You don't hear a word from Lester Holt.
You don't hear a word from any of the Today Show people, okay?
Because they know what's happening as well.
Their audience for NBC is now going to be exclusively left-wing.
That's not a good place to be, although CBS and ABC are not far behind.
Now, I wrote a column on St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, and I said, and this was way before Ronna McDaniel was in play.
And this is why I'm an oracle.
I said that this kind of blackball banishment of conservative voices began in 2016 after Trump was elected president.
The network moguls, the people who run the operations, were so angry that Donald Trump won the election that immediately all voices who would ever support him were silenced on all three networks.
I was on late-night morning network shows 78 times, Hannity.
By the way, all three networks and two cable channels and every major newspaper.
Okay.
So if you supported Donald Trump, you were banished, canceled.
Now, before that, as I just mentioned, I had access to those programs, all right, with Letterman and Leno and Fallon and Kimmel and all of them.
But then the curtain dropped.
And if you...
By the way, the curtain dropped and their ratings tanked.
Their writings dropped because people are bored with it now.
They're bored with Colbert telling them every night that Trump's the devil, okay?
They're bored with it.
It's not funny anymore.
So this was by design.
This wasn't an accident.
And the same thing happened at Hollywood.
You will notice that Ronna McDaniel's agent, CAA, dropped her.
Why?
Like a hot potato.
I can tell you why.
And I know they do represent some people at Fox, not me.
I don't know if you ever did any business with them.
I don't think you did.
Maybe you have.
And they dropped her because they represent so many people at NBC.
And frankly, if I'm Ronna McDaniel, I would be looking at, well, maybe asking some serious questions or somebody on her behalf asking really important questions, but I won't go into detail.
Well, look, CAA is a powerful show business agency.
They dropped her because their left-wing clientele in Hollywood sided with MSNBC.
And that's why they dropped her.
They didn't want to lose those clients.
So you have a blackout now in Hollywood, film industry, television entertainment industry, and in New York, television news industry.
You cannot hear.
Look at Mark Levin.
This is the best example I can give you.
Thank me.
God bless us.
Get off my phone, you big dope.
Go ahead.
Don't be unkind to Mark.
Stop being unkind.
None of it is Mark.
We're best friends.
He deserves to get some jazz.
Anyway, he's got a massive best-selling book last fall.
I know because I competed with him, Killing the Witches, at the same time that his book was out.
Massive bestseller.
Couldn't get on any of the network shows, and neither could I. Anyway, we're dominating the bestseller lists here, both of us.
And it's just unbelievable.
And so the reason that this is a big story is if you choke off information flow out of the conservative community over a period of time, that's going to take its toll because the younger people in particular aren't going to hear any other counterpoint of view other than MSNBC and CNN.
It really is a scandal.
It's so serious.
And yet people, they're concentrating on this Ronna McDaniel, which is bad enough, but they don't see the bigger picture of the black ball, way worse than the 1950s communism scare, way worse than that, that is actually in play in America today.
There is no freedom in the network media.
All right, quick break.
We'll come right back more with Simple Man, Bill O'Reilly, allthingsO'Reilly, BillO'Reilly.com as we continue.
Up next, our final roundup and information overload hour.
All right, we continue now with all things simple man.
That means all things Bill O'Reilly.
Bill, are you or have you ever been a Republican or a Donald Trump supporter?
That's where they are.
Now, the left loves to lecture the right about political, anything politically correct.
You want to talk about a woke mob?
This is it.
Now they're at a point where they cannot tolerate any opposition.
Like you, I would launch a book.
I've been on Good Morning America for a number of my books and the Today Show.
Believe it or not, I used to do the view like you did.
I stayed away from the late night shows.
I never wanted to do them.
And I was invited like you were, but I just felt it was not worth my time.
And then I eventually gave up on all of them.
And they don't invite us on anymore, Bill.
And I will tell you, there's no point because my audience is way bigger than their audience, as you know.
And believe it or not, Bill, except for a few people, there are not many people on the left that want to go anywhere near me.
I don't know if they think I'm Satan or what.
Why do that?
Because they can say anything they want on the networks unchallenged.
So look, it all comes down to money.
These people like Joe Scarborough and the woman in the...
By the way, no, no, no.
You got to call him the Liberal Joe.
All right, you know, I'm not going to do that.
Scarborough and the woman in Nicole Wallace, they used to be conservative Republicans, and they waved the checkbook in front of them, and guess what they are now?
Are you saying that you believe Liberal Joe basically gave up his political beliefs so he could be on TV?
I'm saying that if you doubled Liberal Joe's salary and said you got to be on Fox and a conservative, he'd be over there in three hours.
Bill, while he was working years at MSDNZ, he was calling Fox regularly, begging to be on Fox.
You know that.
I believe that for a fact, but I believe you.
I do.
I believe you.
I do.
And you know how I know.
Yeah, I know how you know.
Anyway, it's good to be on with you because the folks are hearing the truth, and that's it.
I always do it.
We don't always agree, Bill.
I mean, and we have kind of spirited debates.
But I'm not going to shade my coverage ever in any way.
No way.
Neither am I.
But it doesn't matter how good we are or perceptive we are, how right we are when we talk about violent crime, we talk about the secure border.
None of that matters.
Right now, we are censored by the most powerful media agencies in the world.
But you know what the beauty of the era that we're living in is, is that there is we have become the media in our own way.
And people have become very, very hip and very sophisticated in what they watch and what they listen to.
I can't force anybody to watch my TV show.
By the way, I wish I could.
I'm kidding.
Or listen to this radio show.
I have to do a good job every day or they'll abandon me.
They can fire me anytime they want.
I don't want to get fired, Bill.
I want to do a good show.
Well, here's Bill.
You, if that ever happens, will follow me.
Nobody can fire me, Hannity.
Nobody.
But Bill, nobody has to tune into you.
They choose to.
I mean, this is why I've always, my entire career, been against boycotts and cancellations and firings.
I never call for them.
I never support them because people have freedom.
And with that freedom, you can't force somebody to watch or listen to something.
15 seconds.
Okay, that freedom window is closing in American media.
Do you believe I kept you for an hour today?
You know, you're a lucky guy, Hannity.
That's all I can tell you.
And he comes down to Florida.
Who paid for lunch?
All I had was oatmeal.
Well, you had other stuff, too, but we won't talk about it.
You had berries or something.
I don't know what's gotten into you.
You're getting weird in your old age.
Maybe you're becoming a hippie.
The latent Bill O'Reilly hippies coming out.
All right, O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com, sir.
Thank you.
Appreciate you being with us.
Have a great Easter, you and your family, okay?
