This is an iHeart Podcast.
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Beautiful sight All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man, and that can only mean one thing on this radio program that is all things self-proclaimed simple man.
That means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly of Bill O'Reilly dot com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, three weeks from today, we should have some indication of who the next president of the United States is going to be.
Uh I don't think I have ever seen such a dramatic momentum shift as we have been witnessing in the last couple of weeks, in my view towards Donald Trump.
If you disagree, tell me.
I would say, and I'm saying to this audience, do not assume that that means that Donald Trump is going to win the election.
Assume that your vote will be the deciding vote.
That's how important it is.
Especially if you're in Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada.
Uh those states will matter the most.
Uh, but every state matters.
And but there certainly has been a change, and I think a lot of it, uh the greatest indication of it is now Kamala Harris, who would have preferred to stay hiding and not doing interviews, is is now having to get out there and speak.
And I don't think it's gone particularly well, nor do I think her spokes uh the her surrogates have done particularly well for her.
What say you, Mr. O'Reilly, sir?
Well, ninety-three votes are uh electoral votes are in the group of states you mentioned, um, and they will tell the tale, no doubt about it.
Um I have said to my viewers on the No Spin News and our radio programs across country, I think Trump will win, but that's not a prediction.
It's just based on the internal polling that I've seen, and uh if there's not um some kind of major occurrence in the next three weeks, I think he's gonna win.
Now, if you want to get uh down to specifics, which you always do, uh the Kamala Harris interview tonight on Fox News is instructive.
Uh it's exactly the same thing, and you were there, you witnessed it that happened to me in 2008 when I got a call from then Senator Barack Obama to come to York, Pennsylvania to do an interview with him, and we have been trying to get him.
Everybody on Fox had been trying to get him, nobody could get him.
But McCain, by the way, he never he never took my call, Bill.
I was very insulted.
I think you're right.
But he put it.
McCain and Sarah Palin had some momentum in early September eighth.
And uh Obama people were worried.
So who you gonna call Ghostbusters, they call me.
And I did the interview and it came off well uh for Obama and for Fox News.
Well, we had one other factor in that fall, and that was the economic meltdown.
And that became a a game changer for that election.
You would agree with that.
But McCain did take on a little bit of uh uh cachet um uh when he put Palin on the second.
And that rattled the Obama people.
So anyway, he comes in, he does the interview.
It works out both uh well for both of us, and that's exactly what happened now.
So the Harris people are looking at the internal polling house for behind, and they go, okay, let's let's go into Fox and we'll shake it up.
And um, you know, it's it's gonna benefit us.
Now whether it'll benefit them or not, we'll we'll know this time tomorrow.
Um but I'll give you a hint.
The odious, and I mean that word literally, the odious Brian Stelter of CNN just wrote a hit piece on Brett Bear.
Now you call him Humpty Dumpty, but I think he he's uh Jack the Ripper.
Uh uh literally the Humpty Dumpty is just more appropriate, and I know it irritates the hell out of him, so that's why I do it.
I do it with great affection, by the way.
Nothing's personal for me.
I'm I'm at the point in my life and career, I just don't care about him.
No, I understand, but this is this is instructive because he's an ardent liberal.
Uh hates Fox News, hates uh Republicans.
So he writes a hit piece just out.
Just came out.
And I'm saying to myself, he wouldn't have done that.
Uh hit piece on bear if you were if the Democrats weren't worried.
Okay, so they're a little worried about this interview tonight.
Now, um I by the way, my sources tell me she's been holed off away preparing for this interview for two plus days.
Henry, what are you gonna prepare for?
The woman has been running for months, she should know the issues at this point.
Well, that but but but this is the problem.
You know, and I'm gonna I'm gonna use you as an example.
When when Barack Obama went into the no spin zone with Bill O'Reilly, gladiator that you're known to be.
And and eve even when you interviewed me for my book, you g you kept warning me for months, it's not gonna be a cupcake interview, Hannity.
I'm just warning you ahead of time.
I'm like, okay, Bill, I've done tough interviews my whole life.
It's not a problem.
I'll be fine.
I survived, Bill.
But you know, you were fair, you were tough.
Yeah, but uh but I'm gonna add this.
Barack Obama is a great communicator.
Kamala Harris is not.
Right.
Much better, much more confident.
Um and Harris, you're right, is very insecure.
Extremely so.
Now, Bear is the toughest part of this whole interview is Bear.
Um, because his he has to be tough, but he can't be disrespectful.
And there's a line.
So when I interviewed Obama, I got a lot of hate mail from those who hate Obama, going, you weren't toughen on him, you didn't you didn't go in, you didn't uh you know, and I wasn't disrespectful because that's not the way to go.
But if I I have some advice of Bear, and I have five top questions that I'm gonna be on my broadcast, no spin news tonight, but I I don't want to give you all five, but Bear would be very wise to keep his questions short, very short, and very specific.
Like, uh let me give you an example.
This is what I would lead with, probably what you would lead with.
Listen, as soon as you and Joe Biden got power, the border was opened by executive order.
That led to ten between ten and fifteen million foreign nationals on our soil right now, mostly unattended.
Why did you do that?
That question will take twelve seconds, and there's very little wiggle room there.
Now she'll try to pivot to blame Trump as she always does, but that's three and a half years later.
And that's when Bear has to step in and say, we're talking about day one Biden, not three and a half years later.
Why did that happen?
He's got to be firm, Bayer.
If he isn't, then she's gonna give you the same old gibberish that she's been spouting for the last three months.
Uh look, you always give good advice, and I know that you like Brett, and Brett is, I think, like in many, I think he's a real journalist.
I have no idea where he stands politically.
And we do have uh uh Fox News is bifurcated.
We have a news division, we have an opinion division, and it's been that way from the very beginning.
I mean, Britt Hume has always understood that there is there's Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, and then there's the news division, and there was always a a line of demarcation.
It and and I think that Brett will do that.
I I do think that it is in terms of questions that that I would ask.
It is, I would call it a target rich environment of questions that she has not had not been held accountable for.
And uh I think that uh you know, I don't want to go through my list either.
Um but Brett Bear's, you know, he's follows the news as closely as we do.
I'm sure he has all of those questions available to him.
And you know, he's only got 30 minutes to do it, which is not a lot of time, even commercial free.
And uh I'll I'll give you I liken it to one other thing.
When I had to do when I hop moderated the debate with Gavin Newsom and Rhonda Sandis, I knew that I was setting myself up for massive criticism.
If I got one fact wrong when I was comparing the issues in California versus Florida.
And I mean, Bill, we we we checked and we double checked and we triple checked, which I I sort of do as a on a regular basis anyway, because I want to get things right.
And uh the one thing that never happened after that debate was anybody criticizing me for getting one fact wrong, because I didn't.
Well, look, Bayer tonight is under pressure because most of the viewership at Fox News is supporting Trump.
And if if that viewership feels that Bayer is too light on the vice president, Baer is gonna suffer.
And that's the truth.
But he can't be disrespectful.
So he's gonna walk this line, and the line is easier to walk if you keep the question short.
But you have to jump in when the dodge happens.
And I did that with Obama.
I ran a clip last night on the No Spin News where I shut him down.
We're talking about Iran, and interestingly enough, it's uh relevant to today.
What are you gonna bad gonna do about Iran's nukes?
That's what I asked him.
And he dodged it, but I then I brought him back and I go, You can't expect the American people to vote for you if you don't have a definite point of view on Iran nukes, do you?
But that was an interruption.
Now I don't know if Bear is gonna do that, but he has to do it if she starts to dodge.
Uh I think you give very good advice.
Uh I think that I I think that questions that have not been asked to this point, I would predict, are going to be asked in this interview.
Um, you know, Brett Brett Brett is very familiar with the issues, and he's actually going to be on with me.
Uh he does this interview.
It'll air at six o'clock tonight on the Fox News channel, and then he'll be on with me at nine o'clock, and we'll go over it all.
And you know, I'm uh I'm looking forward to it, actually.
I think this might be the one opportunity in the whole campaign where she might be held accountable and have to answer some questions.
I'll give you an example today.
I mean, there's a story out uh and I had not known this, and you know how hard we have vetted her.
I did not know that she had threatened repeatedly to sue oil companies.
No.
Now I mean that's a big deal, but now because she wants to win Pennsylvania, she had said that she absolutely would ban all fracking, all offshore drilling, and now you can add to it her desire that she stated repeatedly in 2019 that she wants to sue the oil companies.
Well, if you sue the oil companies, they're gonna hire expensive law firms, Bill, and they're gonna pass those costs on to we the people, the consumers, and that means we have to pay more every time we fill up our cars or our trucks or whatever we're driving.
Um on my list uh to ask her, but here's how it has to be asked.
Why did you change your mind?
I think that.
Why did you change why did you co-sponsor the Green New Deal and change your mind?
Why did you co-sponsor Medicare for all with both of those bills with Bernie Sanders and and and you also wanted to eliminate private health insurance?
Have you changed your mind on this?
And if so, why?
Quick question.
Clips.
So you don't even have to say it.
You can say uh Madam Vice President, 2019 you said this, bang, and it's worse than that.
She said she criminally prosecute the big oil companies if they violated Green New Deal stuff.
You run that, and then you say yesterday you said this, bang.
So that she's got no wiggle room at all, and then you go, why'd you change your mind?
That's how it has to be framed.
It has to be framed very concisely.
And bear uh I it's very hard, and and you and I, you live in Florida now, we I live in New York.
If you live in Washington, and Chris Wallace, the best example of this, I wrote a message of the day on Wallace, you should read it.
If you live in the district, you are subject to district pressure.
And Bayer lives in the district, okay?
So he's got to deal with the Washington Post and all of these people.
And so that enters into your thinking.
You and I, we're renegades.
Bayer's an establishment guy, and I'm not saying that to demean him in any way at all.
So is Bret Hume.
Okay.
Listen, the the they're both very good the journalists, Bill.
The difference between and and I think he's gonna do ask the questions, and I don't think he's gonna allow the Dodge because the amount of time he has is finite.
He's he's got 30 minutes.
He doesn't have a lot of time for her to go off on one of her word salads and not give an answer.
And uh I would imagine I'm uh and this is my best guess.
My guess is I think he's going to ask those questions.
I think it's gonna be informative.
I think she's gonna have a hard time explaining them, and I I don't think that she is as skilled in terms of her oratory abilities as Barack Obama was with you.
I agree.
As I said, it could be a game changer.
That's why Stelter wrote the hit piece.
Because they're getting ready to go after Bear that he was so unfair, he didn't give her time to answer, whatever they're gonna throw out.
Well, they listen, you gotta expect that regard and if you're gonna be in our business, you just have to expect that.
But uh, Mr. O'Reilly, uh looking forward to uh talking to you next week and three weeks from now on this very day, we'll probably have a good indication.
I hope we have a good indication of who the winner of this race is.
Uh all things simple man at Bill O'Reilly.com.
Thank you, sir.
800 941 Sean is our number will continue.
Uh all right, 800 941 Sean.
We'll get to your calls here in a second.
One ad that is getting a lot of attention is this uh Donald, the Trump campaign ad.
And it highlights Kamala Harris's supporting taxpayer-funded sex change operations for prisoners, but also keep in mind she supports it for illegal immigrants in this country.
Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners.
Surgery.
Um for prisoners.
For prisoners, every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access.
It's hard to believe, but it's true.
Even the liberal media was shocked Kamala supports taxpayer-funded sex changes for prisoners and illegal aliens.
Every transgender inmate would have access.
Kamala's for they them.
President Trump is for you.
I'm Donald J. Trump, and I approve this message.
Ouch.
Can anybody in this country is anybody that thinks this is a good idea?
If you do think it's a good idea, will you please call this radio program and tell me why?
I'd like to hear from you.
Uh oh, David Portnoy.
Now, David Portnoy is interesting to me.
Uh, he speaks a lot about culture.
Um I I I find I I find him to be hilarious.
I mean, if ever there's uh and Linda, tell me if you agree or disagree.
If there's like an alpha male guy, it's definitely David Portnoy, right?
Of Barstools.
And yeah.
All right, and and then you got this other side of David Portnoy, which just cracks me up.
Now, you know I don't have social media, but whenever I'm around my kids, I'll say, What's the latest with Miss Peaches?
Because here's David Portnoy, you know, you know, uh a tough guy.
He's he's very opinionated, very strong.
He's not as political as we are by any stretch of the imagination.
Um, and then he talks, Miss Peaches.
Oh, let me rub your tummy, Miss Peaches.
Look at what I brought you, Miss Peaches.
It cracks me up.
As a dog lover, and the whole story about how he got Miss Peaches and how he talks to Miss Peaches, the whole thing cracks me up.
Apparently, Miss Peach is gonna get a relative or brother uh coming soon.
Uh have you seen those videos?
Are they not hilarious?
I mean, uh, I'm down with any person who loves their animal.
I'm all in.
You're all in, except it but you can't overfeed your cat the way Linda overfed her cat.
Listen, quickest way to the hard is through the tummy, you know?
That's love.
It's it's not love if your cat has to go away too.
I'm not talking to you.
You're manorexic.
You don't know anything about feeding and eating and all those things.
The cat was four times the size of a normal cat.
And you have to send the cat away to a farm so that the cat could get in better shape.
So, you know, uh I guess it's all based on one's definition of love.
Indeed.
Uh um uh anyway, let's go to uh David Portnoy.
He just he's had it with this campaign, and he just unloaded on Kamala Harris.
It's the gaslighting that the left is doing with Kamala Harris, making it sound like she's some great groundbreaking candidate.
She is the worst candidate to ever run for president ever.
What put this over the edge for me?
Last week.
I'm watching our campaign rally, and she's up there being like, We need to turn the page in America.
It's time for a new way forward, and I'm your candidate for change is the sitting vice president of the United States currently saying she's the candidate for change.
Kamala Harris can't even answer the easiest questions of all time.
She never gets a straight answer.
She doesn't seem to be able to put uh uh coherent thoughts together.
It's actually scary for me to think about like what she'd be on the international stage.
So that's all I'm saying.
That's what's pushed me to the boy lage.
I am so sick of being gaslighted like she's some great candidate.
And I think a lot of people feel that way.
800 941 Shauna's our number if you want to be a part of the program, 20 days to go, three weeks from today.
We likely will be talking about uh election results.
Assume that your vote will be the deciding vote in this election and in your state.
Uh let's get to our busy phones.
We start with Carrie is in the great state of Ohio, the Buckeye State.
What's up, Carrie?
How are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
How are you doing?
I'm hanging in there.
I'm hanging in there.
These are long days.
I'll put it that way.
They sure are.
Very stressful.
Um, yes, I'm here in Ohio, swing state, and I live in Bernie Marino's district.
Um, and I started seeing all the campaign ads, you know, the smear campaign that he's, you know, no exception, uh, ban abortion, and I don't I I from the second I saw it, I wasn't buying it.
Um, mainly because the Democrats use the same playbook like every four years, it's you know, trying to scare people into voting for them.
Um, you know, that the Republicans are anti-abortion, we're gonna ban abortion.
That is not the case, and I just think people who are smart are starting to see through it, and um, I really have hate that Bernie will win.
They they've gone full on, and I said this at the beginning of the show today, they've they've just gone full on hardcore slander.
You know, Kamala Harris saying uh to Charlemagne the God, you know, uh Trump is gonna put non-white people in camps.
And well, that that caller made a very, very important point.
Uh or you can listen to, you know, the other ideas.
Raphael Warnock saying Trump will be dangerous to women and to black men and joyless Behart.
Trump is a fascist.
He wants to send in military to kill liberals.
Uh Stuart Stevens, you know, MSDNC suggesting Trump supporters could burn down voting centers to to discount black votes.
I mean, it is as bad as it's ever been, but this is what Democrats do.
This is what I when I when we started out this campaign season, I said to everybody they're going to do they they're going to say democracy imperiled January 6th, and you can go back to the beginning of this year, then the old playbook comes out, which is that Republicans are racist and that they are sexist and misogynist and homophobic and xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, they want dirty air and water, they want grandma and grandpa dead.
Uh I mean, it's it's just a lie.
And and the louder and the more shrill they get, the more fearful that indicates to me that they are.
Because there's nothing left to say about Donald Trump that hasn't been said.
And it's it's going in one ear and out the other.
And the questions that are now coming up are about her a Kamala Harris.
And anyway, so I I would just say assume that your vote is the deciding vote in this election.
It's a better way to say it because there are other people besides Linda that don't understand my football analogy.
So I think it's just better to assume if you're especially if you're in Georgia, especially if you're in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada.
It just assume your vote will decide the election.
That's how important an election it is.
I think it's an inflection point for the country.
Bernie Marino would do a great job as senator, and they're doing the same thing to him that they do to every Republic at every election year.
Smear slander besmirch, character assassination at the highest level.
Bernie Marino is now within striking distance.
He can win this race.
I talked to Bill Cunningham just the other day.
John Hannity, you're a great American.
God bless you.
God bless America.
I want a full report.
And I asked him for a full report, and the full report is Bernie Moreno can absolutely win.
And I think he'd be great for the people of Ohio.
Or you can go with Sharon Brown, who's a hundred percent Kamala Harris, you know, radical extremist, and and that's the choice the people in Ohio have.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, Carrie.
Good call.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Dan in Long Island, New York.
Dan, how are you?
Glad you called.
Sean, I am doing great.
I just want to say I'm a long time listening to you on, you know, whatever platform that you're speaking on.
Thank you.
And my concern is that Kamala has not done one live interview without, you know, edits and this and that.
And there will be no edits in the Fox interview tonight.
That I have already, you know, they're taping it, I think at five, it airs it and it airs straight uh live to tape.
Live to tape and TV means everything is gonna air.
All right.
Now, there's I think there's three questions that needs to be asked.
Why hasn't an executive order been signed to close the border?
Why have we not started to drill for oil?
And why has it the uh the foreign policy that the Biden administration been uh talked about once in all of her you know speeches, rallies, etc.
We know what Donald Trump stands for.
He stands for Americans being first, taking care of the homeland, and then we can take care of the rest of the world.
I just hope that Brett tonight can ask those three questions and and get the truth, which we all know what the truth is that she is not in support of America and her interests are elsewhere.
And uh, I just you know, I just wanted to call in to say that, and then that's really it.
Well, I I I think uh I wish it was longer than a half hour, but I know uh I know Brett very well.
I mean, you know, he's he's even he's angered people on all sides of the aisle when he interviews them because he's gonna ask the questions that they have probably haven't been asked before and don't want to answer.
Um, and you know, this is an opportunity for him, and I would I'm I fully expect him to rise to the occasion.
Now, there is a fine line, and then Bill O'Reilly brought this up.
When you're interviewing a vice president or a president, it's probably a good thing that I never got an interview with Barack Obama, and I've discussed this in the past.
Because you respect the office, you don't have the same latitude that you do to go after a senator, a congressman, or a governor, because if somebody's the president of vice president, it just makes it a little bit harder.
Now, when they when you ask a direct question and they start to go off track, you definitely get to go in.
Okay, that's not the question I'm asking.
We only have a limited amount of time, and you can do it very respectfully.
But there's an art to it, and it definitely these these interviews can definitely be hard, but you know, Brett's a pro, and I I have full confidence in him.
That's my answer.
And I can't wait to see it right after this program, as a matter of fact.
Uh, anyway, thank you, Dan.
Appreciate it.
All right, quick break, right back to our busy phones.
Here's our toll free number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, just 20 days until election day.
Twenty days.
That's it.
Three weeks from today, we will be literally talking about election results.
Up next, our final roundup and information overload hour.
Up next, our final roundup and information overload hour.
All right, back to our busy phones we go.
Uh, let's say hi to Roy who's in Michigan.
We need Michigan badly.
How are you, Roy?
Glad you called.
Sean, man, long time, long, long, long time listener, first time caller.
I appreciate you.
Thank thank you for your voice for conservative.
I got a couple of things.
Um, one is Brett Bear interview this this uh this morning when he was on Fox and Friends and Ainsley and all of them were asking him questions about what he was gonna ask.
Don't you think that's a little premature for uh Kamala Harris to be able to go back and and now you know with her advisors and trying to scrutinize everything that Brad Bear is gonna uh say and then two um just here in Michigan, you know, driving home from work, uh liberal state of uh you know Michigan with East Lancing, you see all these uh Project 2025 signs everywhere uh along in the road.
And we're sitting here going, you know, how how many times does this thing have to be debunked?
And we're sitting here in Michigan still looking at these billboards that say Project 2025, Trump is associated with it.
So we want to fight back, and we're giving out Trump yard signs to anybody that wants Trump yard signs.
I'll put him, I'll come personally and put them in your front yard.
You you gotta understand this is all they've got now.
Uh they've lied about Project 2025.
They've blamed the border, which is a joke on Donald Trump.
They've laid their bad economy on Donald Trump.
Uh Harris has claimed he will terminate the Constitution.
Uh, that you know, Donald Trump will use military members, you know, referred to them as suckers and losers, and he said he's gonna be a dictator on day one.
That comment was made to me in an interview.
I said, What do you say to those people that say, oh, you're gonna be a dictator?
And he goes, Oh no, just for one day, and I'm gonna secure the border and bring us energy independence on day one.
That was the full answer.
He claimed that, you know, she's claiming that that Congress has to uh act to fix the immigration system.
That's a lie, too.
Just like they're saying, and they're out there that he will be dangerous to women and to black men, and that Trump is a fascist and comparing him to a Nazi as James Carville did the other day, and suggesting that Trump supporters would burn down voting centers to discount black votes.
I mean, we we're now in the officially in the silly season, and there's a double standard.
If if conservatives start saying this crazy stuff, they're gonna be held accountable.
If I started saying it on the air, I promise you, I wouldn't I wouldn't be on the air much longer.
They'd do everything they could do to silence me, get me off the air.
But they could they can go on MSDNC and ABC in the view and CBS and MBC, and they can write what they want in the New York Times and the Washington Post, and they could say whatever they want.
There's a double standard.
They are trying to fear-monger their way because Kamala Harris, they don't want any more scrutiny of her.
And that's why I think she's gonna probably have a hard time tonight.
She's gonna duck dodge and weave, and it's gonna be very apparent that she's doing so.
When I did it to Gavin Newsom during the debate with Rhonda Santas, I wanted an answer.
Any restrictions on abortion in months seven, eight, and nine.
I had to ask him the question four times before I got the answer.
And the answer was it's between a doctor, a woman, and their conscience.
And you have you just you just have to be respectful and and ask those questions.
Anyway, appreciate the call, my friend.
