Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right,
Leonard Skinner's Simple Man, and that can only mean one thing on this radio program, and that is all things self-proclaimed, Simple Man.
That means all things, Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Before we get to Mr. O'Reilly, it is a miracle, as I've been saying, that the NYPD in an hour and 52 minutes, I was on the entire time, began an operation to clear out Hamilton Hall that had been taken over by the student radicals at Columbia University, and they did it without any violence, and they did it without any injury.
Even the New York City mayor, Eric Adams, actually is making sense.
Let me play a couple of cuts of him.
This is him first talking about, and this goes to on a little bit deeper level, the global radicalization of children.
Listen to this.
It's been indicated by Columbia when they reached out that the substantial number were outside influences.
You know, when you look at the wearin' or black, covering your faces completely, those methodologies, you know, our intelligence divisions study this type of behavior across the globe.
We just had a team that just returned from overseas looking at some of the methods that are being used with these actions.
There is a movement to radicalize young people, and I'm not going to wait until it's done and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it.
This is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children.
And I'm not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of New York.
Then Eric Adams said those arrested in Columbia in this police raid last night will be charged with burglary, trespassing, criminal mischief.
That doesn't mean they won't be let out because of New York City's no bail laws and defund and dismantle and reimagine the police.
But that's what he said.
And he did point out that a number of outside agitators at Columbia are using tactics from around the globe.
Listen to this.
Mr. Mayor, those 40 or 50 people that were taken into custody last night, what are they going to be charged with and when are they going to be charged?
Well, it is a series of items.
Number one, a form of burglary, trespassing, criminal mischief, cameras were damaged, methodologies that were used for typical actions like this professionals use.
Clearly, these children were trained on how the barricade location, what type of locks should be used.
All these methods we saw in our videos of the type of training that they were being issued by these professionals.
And so they're going to be charged with those crimes.
And those who were on the lawn area, the goal is for those students, it would be summer school offenses.
But we want the schools across the city to be clear that the property of the schools are for the students, not for those who want to come in and be disruptive to our way of life.
All right, joining us now to weigh in on all of this is All Things Simple Man, our friend Bill O'Reilly.
Mr. O'Reilly, my heart's a lot troubled here, Bill, but I will say this.
You know this, and I know this.
I'm no longer a New York resident.
You still are a New York resident.
But I will tell you the fact that they were able to pull this off in an hour and 52 minutes.
It began when I went on the air at 9 p.m. Eastern, straight up.
We watched those cops going through those windows one at a time, having no idea what was on the other side.
And the fact that in an hour and 52 minutes they were able to clean out that hall, no injuries, no incidents that occurred, is a tribute to the professionalism of police officers that never get the credit they deserve.
But boy, if one cop is a bad cop, we certainly hear, you know, we'll hear that ad nauseum.
So a lot of kudos to them yesterday.
Yeah, Police Commissioner Khanna is doing a very good job, in my opinion.
He's new on the job.
They were very well organized, and they did everything they could, the police officers, not to exacerbate the situation, make it worse.
And they were successful.
These people at Columbia University, though, even though they are charged, Bragg, Alvin Bragg, the DA, is going to drop all the charges.
I think 100% of them, maybe, maybe.
He'll prosecute two or three.
And everybody knows that.
So it's not a matter of no bail.
Of course, they're not going to have bail, but the cases won't even come in.
Did you know, and I think you did know this, if I remember correctly, a couple of years ago, you reported that less than 5% of the looters arrested after George Floyd were prosecuted.
Did you know that?
Bill, it's worse than that.
There were officially 574 riots that took place in the summer of 2020.
We had more than two dozen dead Americans, thousands of cops injured.
I say it all the time.
They were hit with bricks, rocks, bottles, Molotov cocktails, thousands of injured cops, billions of dollars in property damage.
All of it was on videotape.
We could have arrested every one of them.
Liz Cheney and all the people in Washington only cared about the January 6th riot.
They didn't care about the 574 other riots that the media mob and Democrats were either silent about or lied to us and said were mostly peaceful.
They were anything but peaceful, Bill.
Well, that's why this happened.
So these organized protesters know that they will not be held to account.
So I wrote a column called The Treasury Behind the Protests on billoreilly.com.
You don't have to be a member, anybody can get there and read it.
And the organization that's leading this is Students for Justice for Palestine.
It was founded in 1993, Berkeley, California.
Its leader is a guy named Dr. Hatem Bazian.
He's a lecturer at the University of California.
His salary paid by taxpayers.
And this guy is the leader of the crew.
And they call out people.
They have a big database of anarchists, Antifa people, whatever.
People just want to cause trouble.
And they send them emails and they say, show up here, do this, and nothing will happen to you.
And then you combine that with the weakness of the Columbia University president.
I mean, I don't know how she keeps her job.
That's ridiculous.
Because you compare it to the University of Florida.
So the former senator or congressman is running that place, University of Florida now.
Who's running it?
The president?
I don't even know.
I'm not exactly sure.
I don't know.
I'm thinking who is the president.
I'm not really sure.
I don't know the presidents of many of these universities.
I pay so little attention to them, except when you see insanity like this.
And Bill, by the way, it's not just Columbia.
It's NYU.
It's FIT.
It's UT.
It is Harvard.
It is Yale.
It is UCLA.
It is USC.
It is around the country.
I mean, Bill, this is virulent anti-Semitism on campus, on campuses, in the halls of Congress, all over Europe, in Australia.
I mean, it's looking like the 1930s all over again, Bill.
The point I want to make is the University of Florida, the president there said, look, if you protest and violate any of the school's tenants, you're expelled.
And so we didn't have protests there.
I don't know why this is so hard.
That's what you do.
You have to give them space to protest.
I would if I were running a university.
But you say, look, you've got to stay in this area.
And if you go out of the area, and then you have to leave by 8 o'clock so you don't disrupt the students in the surrounding neighborhoods.
And that's it, right?
Well, man.
All right.
I like your idea.
Let me ask you a question.
Because a lot of these universities, we all know, are so hyper-woke and people get so offended, Bill, and their sensibilities are triggered.
And if you use the wrong pronoun on a lot of these campuses, you might be facing expulsion.
If you say something politically incorrect, if you have a different opinion about, let's say, the LGBTQ community, or God forbid you ever said anything racist, rightly so in that case, I think you would be punished severely and maybe expelled from school.
Why is it okay to attack either African Americans that are conservative or B, Jewish Americans?
Because that's what's happening.
Well, it's hypocrisy.
By the way, the University of Florida president is Ben Sess, the former senator, and he's a conservative guy.
We're not going to do this down here.
Title IX, the Biden administration just released guidelines to the Department of Justice that if a trans student at a university is not called the pronoun he or she wants to be called, that could be a criminal offense.
Did you know that?
A criminal offense?
You know, I'll tell you a quick story.
When Caitlin Jenner did the interview with Diane Sawyer, I've talked on the radio.
I talked about how I've known Caitlin as Bruce Jenner for all those years, and we always got along very well.
We had a good relationship.
And I didn't know at the time she was listening.
And after the show, she called me and I said, Caitlin, I don't really understand it.
And she goes, I wouldn't expect you to understand it.
And I said, like, you're not going to get pissed off if I call you Bruce by accident, are you?
And she started laughing.
And then she said, the funniest part of the interview, Sean, is the most shocking part was when Diane Sawyer heard me say I was a conservative and a Republican, and she lost her mind.
After everything else that she talked about in that interview, that's what really got to Diane Sawyer.
Well, look, we're living in a time where people need to understand the underlying principles.
Today is May Day.
And congratulations to all you communists out there.
Hope you have a nice party tonight.
That was very thoughtful of you, Bill.
Thanks for reminding everybody.
I'm trying to be all inclusive, Hannity.
You know me.
I'm a DEI guy.
Well, let me tell you, if you get arrested for using the wrong pronoun, which may be the law of the land at some point, I promise this, I will come and bail you out personally.
And I'll pay the amount of money, whatever it takes.
I'll bail you out of jail.
Well, you're a very generous guy, and I don't expect I will be arrested because when I get into a situation like that, I start to cough and I don't stop, so I can't say anything.
But by the way, you can't not say anything.
You couldn't shut your mouth if I paid you $10 million.
All right.
Americans need to understand that, and if you looked at the Harvard Harris poll yesterday, where 80% of the American public supports Israel.
Very important poll.
This is a very, very narrow sliver on the college campuses.
And you know who's involved with this?
Do you remember our old pal when I was at Fox leading into you, Sammy Al Arian?
Do you remember that name?
Vaguely, I have a vague recollection of it.
Sammy was the guy who, after 9-11, was saying, oh, no, no, no, it wasn't that bad.
And I just fillet him.
I mean, it was one of the, if you Google O'Reilly, Sammy, Al-Arian.
By the way, no interview is better than the shouting match you got into at Barney Frank, but we'll save that for another day.
This was close.
But anyway, Sammy is back.
And these are professional agitators, and they use these kids.
Mona Sharon, the author, called them useful idiots.
And they are.
I mean, there's a clip out there now where one of these protesters at Columbia is demanding food and water to be given to her.
Well, all you got to do is just walk out.
It's New York City.
You buy your own food and water.
What's wrong with you?
That's crazy.
Yeah, these kids, they live in their own home.
Well, they took over Hamilton Hall and they were demanding, you know, food, water, and supplies.
And I'm like, you're not getting anything if I'm the president.
But go ahead, finish your thought.
No, I mean, my thought is that professional agitators are driving these anti-Israel protests.
They come from the progressive left.
That's why you haven't heard Biden say much about it.
He doesn't want to alienate that crew that funds his reelection campaign.
Last exit question.
We got 20 seconds.
Will Biden's lack of moral clarity hurt him in November?
Well, this is going to go away, this protest thing, but people will remember, so I'm going to say yes.
And I'm also going to say, be on the lookout for the not woke mug that I sent you.
You should have that on the desk of your TV show every night.
You should get it any minute because we sent it.
I haven't gotten it yet, but I do appreciate the thought.
All right.
Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Sir, the time flies by.
We appreciate you being with us.
Always fun.
Thanks for having me.
All right, quick break.
Right back.
We'll continue a word from the 46th president of the United States.
You had a foot on the rinse show wipers to get literally the aura slick off the window.
That's why I and so damn many other people I riff have cancer.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Ham, and I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.

All right.
Let's get to Ben is in Wisconsin, Donald Trump in Michigan and Wisconsin today.
Ben, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
I'm doing great, Sean.
I'm a first-time caller, long-time listener.
Thank you.
What's on your mind today?
Well, what's on my mind is as a Jewish man, I'm disappointed, and I'm advocating for a two-state solution, but not for one in Gaza or Israel.
I'm actually advocating for one here in this country, peaceful, first and foremost.
I think we're in a catch-22, Sean, that no matter what.
What do you mean by a two-state solution in the U.S.?
Are you talking about secession or what are you talking about?
I would like to see, based on the outcome of this next election, which I feel we're going to lose, not because we didn't win it fair, but I just feel that just by all the previous activity and behavior, the Soros funding, the ground game, I think that the conservatives in this country to live through another four years of a Biden hybrid administration with a puppet president.
We won't have a country.
And I'm advocating.
Let me just say this to you, and I'm saying this very respectfully.
You can't not fight even if the game is not fair.
I mean, we owe it, you know, for all the people that have sacrificed, bled, and died to create this great country and sustain this great country.
We owe it to them to give it our best.
And I'm not saying that nefarious things don't happen during elections.
I'm not saying that the game isn't now rigged.
They don't want voter ID.
They don't want partisan observers.
They don't want signature verification.
D.C. is now allowing in local elections illegal immigrants to vote.
I'm not saying all of that.
However, we've got to fight as hard as we can and not be defeatist.
You've got to give it your best shot.
You've got to fight.
And you're fighting for the soul of the country.
And I think America is seeing exactly what we're seeing.
And I put our odds a little higher than you do, but I can't give anybody any guarantees.
We're now just 187 days away from Election Day.
And I can't give you with any degree of certainty what's going to happen.
But I believe we can win this election and win it by a margin that may surprise a lot of people.
We need your state of Wisconsin, for example.
And rather than being defeatist, I would encourage you to get out there and help register people to vote and work with the RNC.
Maybe you can be a partisan observer, watch the voting all day, the vote counting all night.
Maybe if legal ballot harvesting exists in your state, maybe you can engage in those efforts and match and surpass what the Democrats are doing.
And we just got to fight harder and we've got to fight smarter.
I mean, fight for what you believe in.
Sean, I agree 100%.
I just feel that after the fight has been fought, those of us that have lived the good America and want the good America are owed an alternative.
Listen, on November 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, or December 10th, at some point, maybe you'll end up, your prediction will be right, but I'm not willing to concede that.
I'm not willing to get out of the fight.
Like you, I want to be wrong in my harbinger, but I just feel that Americans that have lived the patriotic conservative life are owed a better America.
And Trump is really the only man that can lead us forward.
Well, he's fighting every day, so why don't we just follow his example?
And he's fighting a fight that none of us have to fight.
I mean, they're threatening to put this guy away in jail for the rest of his life.
Democrats would like nothing better for him than for him to never be able to campaign and die in jail, some of them.
Like I said, I'm going to fight the good fight any way I can.
And Wisconsin, I'm a part-time Florida man.
So you continue to stay positive and try to fight the good fight as you say.
Well, you know, if the Green Bay Packers are playing, I'm betting that you don't want to give up the game until the game's over.
And I'd say the analogy fits here.
And maybe the refs are one-sided.
I don't know.
You just never know.
I think Democrats, they don't want these election integrity measures.
But the only way we're ever going to change them is to win elections and put in place a system that has more integrity and people, one that would give people more confidence and results.
All right, let me move on, my friend.
I appreciate your call.
Thank you for being with us.
Steve in the free state of Florida.
What's up, Steve?
And glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean, first, I want to thank you for just willing to obviously speak the truth and spread the truth on a daily basis.
But in the meantime, putting yourself, your family in danger, and I'm sure incidents that are uncomfortable because of what you're speaking of.
So I appreciate you really kind of.
Well, I can give you some good news, and I don't talk about these incidents.
And yes, I've experienced it.
And yes, my family sadly has experienced things.
And it's horrible.
And my poor assistant once got white powder when she opened a letter to me.
And it was the most frightening day of her life.
And thank God it wasn't anything bad.
And other things have happened that are even worse than that.
However, I will tell you, I just accept it as part of the job.
And I just try to keep my family out of what I do for a living.
And that's how I do it.
And I can tell you, since I've moved to Florida, I would say 98% of what I used to experience is gone.
I'm not having to worry like I did in New York.
Being in New York City, not a good place for me.
I can promise you that.
Yeah, I can imagine.
I can only imagine.
But really what I wanted to talk about, too, is first this, you know, DeSantis just said to all the colleges, if you get caught on premise without like a protest, without the permit, the proper authorization or whatever, you will get expelled.
We don't have any campuses with any.
How hard is that to do?
Like, come on.
You know, he set that rule, and we don't have any campuses that are having these big disruptions and nonsense.
That's why I got to tell you something.
This is where I tip my hat to Governor DeSantis.
He's tough as nails.
He doesn't take crap.
And he keeps safety and security.
Law and order matters to him.
And he's not going to let the people of Florida be bullied by a bunch of student radicals.
And he's not going to let the inmates take over the asylum.
And he's not going to go into this no-bail law insanity or defund or dismantle or reimagining the police.
No, he's doing the opposite.
He's telling police officers in other cities like New York, come down here.
We'll pay you a bonus to sign up and come work for us where you will get the respect and the support you deserve.
And it's working.
Amen.
And the other thing I wanted to say is real simple.
So we could approach all these protesters at different schools and say, listen, guys, we understand you have a voice.
And you know what?
It should be heard.
But let's do it in a manner.
Let's have a stage.
Let's have an event.
Let's do it right.
But all they have to do is go to every one of these people and say, all right, you're on campus, which I think, if I'm not mistaken, a lot of these campuses are considered private property.
So you don't just get to go on these schools if you have no age, like you're not supposed to be there.
So check their IDs.
If there's no student ID, you have them removed immediately.
They're not meant to be there.
And if they have a student ID, I'd like to know how many of these people are on foreign aid or getting scholarships and using student loans to be at Columbia or whatever school it is.
And we know they're never going to pay them back.
Maybe he'll go back to the country, whatever it is, but they're happy to use us, but they want to say they hate us.
There's 4 million in 21, that was the last census I could find, 4 million Palestinians in the world.
2 million live in Gaza.
The rest of them live in the Middle East somewhere.
There's like 166 Palestinians in the United States.
So how can this be?
And I understand you don't have to be Palestinian to believe in a cause, but the amount of people that are all across the country that are protesting this, there's 166 Palestinians.
It just doesn't make sense.
I guarantee if you peel off, and why are they hiding their face?
If I stand up for something and I'm proud to stand up and I believe in it, I'm going to stick my face.
I'm not going to hide behind a mask.
I'm going to stick up and say, I don't agree with this.
I don't do this.
Come and get me, right?
So why are they hiding that whole thing?
And if you peel off their shirts, you'll find a Black Lives Matter shirt.
You'll find a Dantifa shirt.
It's all programmed to create chaos, right?
Simple.
In 187 days, America is at an inflection point.
I don't even want to go down the road of thinking about losing.
I want to focus on strategies that will help get this country back on track.
That's all I'm focused on now.
I'm not focused on, well, we may not win.
What's the point?
I'm not there.
No way.
You know what?
Too many people have sacrificed way more than we're going to have to sacrifice to get our ass out and vote and vote by mail and embrace it and vote early and embrace it and get involved with being a partisan observer and watch polling places around the country so there's no shenanigans and watch vote counting up close and personal, which they were not allowed to do in 2020.
And I think right now we've got to unite behind common sense principles to get the country back on track.
I want the return of equal justice and equal application of our laws.
I don't want a weaponized justice system.
I don't want it to be used against radical left Democrats.
I want them to have a fair legal system too.
That's what our founders and our framers intended, and that's what it should be.
And I stand by our Constitution.
You know, these are very tough times, and you've got a mindset that has taken over that has just been radicalized.
You've got an entire party that has now shifted to radicalism.
It is led by the squad.
Joe Biden follows the squad's lead.
Joe Biden is cowering in a corner like a scared little kid, afraid to take a morally courageous stand that radical Islamic terrorism and terrorists that kill innocent men, women, and children on a mass scale like they did in October on October 7th, that they need to be defeated in Israel's war on terror.
I'm not saying to take it a step beyond that.
Just give them moral support for crying out loud.
Let's start there.
You know, where is your moral compass?
Where is your moral clarity?
I mean, this is what the world looks like when an American president abdicates their role as the leader of the free world.
This only emboldens the worst actors on the world stage.
That's what we're all witnessing.
That's what we're living through.
And four more years of it, I can't even imagine how bad it will get.
It will get so bad that nothing is off the table in terms of how off the rails the economy goes, how off the rails the world goes, and how dangerous everything is going to become.
Because Joe Biden can't think on his own.
He's going to let the radicals that have been basically running his presidency continue to do so.
And they're only going to get worse and they'll be more empowered and emboldened.
It's scary.
Anyway, my friend, I do appreciate your time.
Thanks for the call.
All right, quick break, right back.
More your call's coming up toll-free.
It's 800-941-Sean as we continue.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
On for Sean's conservative solutions.
All right, back to our busy phones.
We have another minute.
Chuck in Wyoming.
It's all yours.
One minute, make it count, Chuck.
Yes, I was just talking about the students over there protesting on all these campuses and whatnot.
Why don't the schools just go in?
You know, this protest that was supposed to be nonviolent has turned violent.
Scoop them all up, kick them out of the school.
And I mean, take their transcripts, stamp right on the transcript, suspended whatever due to terrorist affiliations.
No graduation this year, so they're going to throw their last semester of school down the tubes.
They're going to have to go somewhere to get back in someplace to try to get their diplomas.
They've affected their whole life for the rest of their time.
I mean, this is going to follow them if you do something like that.
Well, I got to tell you this.
I am so grateful now that my kids are out of school as of this month.
I'm just grateful because the stuff that I can tell you, I've always kept my kids out of the program on purpose.
I'll continue to do that.
And I don't bring them into the public arena.
They don't want it, and I don't blame them.
They see what their dad goes through.
But I can tell you stories that will raise the hair in the back of your head.
It's unbelievable the things that they have to experience on college campuses today.
Anyway, I appreciate your call, my friend.
Thank you for being with us.
Thanks for being so concise in your call.
We appreciate it.
