This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man, that can only be one thing, uh mean one thing on this radio program, and that is all things simple man, self-proclaimed, all things Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com, including his new number one New York Times bestseller confronting the presidents, no spin assessments from Washington to Biden.
Uh Mr. O'Reilly, sir, not only are you uh an irredeemable, deplorable and a bitter American that clings to God, your guns, your Bibles, your religion, although I'm not sure you're the big second amendment guy that I am, uh, but you're just a piece of garbage.
Just in case you didn't know, I wanted to tell you that before we got the interview started.
You know, um this is how I see that comment from President Biden.
Um he doesn't know what he's saying.
That's not making an excuse for him.
Um, but he really doesn't know in the moment, unless he's reading words, and even then he doesn't really know.
Um but I hold Vice President Harris accountable for misleading the American public about Biden's condition.
And I think this illustration yesterday reinforces the importance of that point.
So uh when the vice president gets out in front of the White House and says, I will never lie to you, I will always be honest, which he did last night.
And then uh when asked point blank, when did you know that uh President Biden's mental state was diminished, said no, it wasn't diminished.
He's fine.
And then in the uh body of her speech, right after she says last night, I'm not gonna I'll always be honest.
She says Trump wants to ban abortion nationwide.
She's flat out false.
So it it is apparent to me, and I think most of your listening audience, that Kamala Harris has something in common with Joe Biden.
They will both say anything.
Biden because he doesn't know what he's saying much of the time, and Harris because that's who she is.
She'll say anything to get elected.
Is that analysis cogent?
It is extremely cogent, but I think it goes even deeper than that.
I think I hold Kamala Harris responsible for this closing narrative, especially in light of who would be assassins and Donald Trump nearly being assassinated within a millimeter of this fascist uh Nazi uh rhetoric that sh he's used the fascist line herself, her running mate has used the Nazi line himself and made Nazi comparisons.
Their surrogates are making these analogies all over the place.
The lies about about transitory inflation and uh the borders being secure.
Uh, we can go through the lies blaming the border crisis last night as she did on Donald Trump was laughable, or that he wants a national abortion ban, or that it's Project 25 25.
These are just outright lies, Mr. O'Reilly, and I don't like being lied to, especially by somebody that says they'll never lie to me.
You know, but apart from the uh policy, uh, I think it's a stronger case that she is essentially not an honest person, Kamala Harris.
Um when you see bef everyone sees the diminishment of President Biden.
Everyone has to see it.
Why are you just focused on the one thing?
Because I think it's bigger than that.
I I I think in this environment to go out there and compare uh a presidential candidate to Hitler and to Mussolini and Stalin in some cases, and in light of Iranian uh assassination squads that we know are in the country, it is not only morally repugnant, it is reckless, it is dangerous, it is uh i it's unforgivable to me.
And frankly, everybody knows there's crazy people in this world.
Are they gonna think that they're doing God's will by taking out the embodiment of evil because of what the every prominent Democrat is now echoing?
I'm a simple man, you bill me that way, and it's accurate.
So my analysis always is topped with the irrefutable.
And uh since the average American voter's concentration span is about two minutes, they're not going to delve into policy the way you and I do.
But they can see what Biden has done, and they can hear that uh Harris says there's nothing wrong with him.
You don't make a stronger case than that, Hannity.
That's the strongest case you can possibly make that this is not an honest woman.
But this but it's deeper than that.
Last night she went through a series of lies, and it's gone pretty much unchecked by the state-run media mob, just like her radical positions on mandatory gun buybacks and fracking bans and offshore drilling bans and the new Green Deal and the elimination of the filibuster and her radical border policies,
including free taxpayer funded sex change operations and amnesty, uh her statements in the summer of 2020, her support of a bail fund and rioters won't stop, shouldn't stop.
You know, there's there are a lot of lies told there last night, Bill.
So I think cumulative cumulatively we've got to look at it, and we've got to inform our our listeners, which are you know more informed than the average bears, if you will, including myself.
My analysis is based upon irrefutable, not any policy at all.
And that's what I did in confronting the presidents.
I brought it down to who is this man?
Who is he?
Who is this woman?
Kamala Harris.
Let's not get too destructive distracted.
And we're kind of going around in a circle, and I want I have too much ground I want to cover with you.
Okay, let's talk about the the state of the campaign.
Right.
Uh it is election day in America because if there's voting going on anywhere, it's election day.
And however, six days from today, the polls will close and the vote counting will begin.
How will that end?
I'm making my prediction tomorrow Halloween because it's certainly appropriate on that day.
Mr. O'Reilly, you cannot do that to my audience.
But you cannot you cannot come on this program.
That means as friendly as I am to you, and as many cupcake interviews as I've given you, and and withhold this information to tomorrow.
Who how is this going to end, in your view?
There is a reason.
You're a little bit loquacious today, uh, Hannity Man, you know, word of the day, loquacious.
There's a reason I'm holding my prediction for Halloween.
Number one, it's appropriate day, and number two, I'm doing research.
And the research is not complete.
Here is the research.
How many Americans have shifted their registration to the Republican Party in the seven swing states?
I'm eighty percent finished with the research.
That will I already have the data.
For example, it's nearly 800,000 in Pennsylvania Republican plus 800.
Well, what else would you like to know?
What state are you missing?
I'm not missing any.
There's new data coming in, and we're updating it every day on the registration forms.
So when I have a hundred percent of it, which I will this evening, uh, then I'm gonna base my prediction on that.
And the reason is that if you change your reserv uh your registration to a party, no matter what party it is, you're 90% assured to vote for that party top ticket.
And this bodes well for GOP Senate and Congressional candidates as well.
My opinion is that Trump is going to win.
But opinions are not predictions.
I base my opinion on Atlas polling, ATLAS.
It was the most accurate polling place in 2020.
It's actually a Brazilian company.
They don't have any uh dog in the hunt To use the cliche.
They're brilliant on their analytics.
They just put out a poll yesterday.
You can get it on real clear politics.
They've got uh Trump up in six of the seven swing states and winning by two nationwide.
I think may win the popular vote.
And the reason I say that, despite California, New York, and Illinois, is I don't believe 150 million Americans are going to vote this time as they did in 20.
I think it's going to be more like 120 million.
And some of those who voted against Trump because they hated Trump are suffering so much in the marketplace with high prices.
They're going to switch their votes because they are Kamala Harris has not put forth anything to get inflation under control.
Not one thing.
So that's my opinion.
That's what my opinion is based on that Trump will win.
But I will have the official prediction tomorrow.
Okay.
You answered my question.
Your prediction's not going to change tomorrow.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble and be make it a little anticlimatic because that analysis is dead on accurate.
Yeah.
And Atlas and For not uh giving you what you wanted when I'm a sudden.
No, I got what I wanted.
You already answered the question.
I got it out of you.
I did to you what you like to do to everyone you interview.
You clawed it out of me.
But is it not a cupcake interview?
Um I am worried about the division in the country.
And I'm maybe people that hear Hannity, you know, I'm obviously a very outspoken conservative.
I'm very outspoken in favor of Trump winning this election.
I don't hide my opinions.
I'm a talk show host.
Uh and I'm honest about who I am.
I'm a member of the press, and I do straight news when I have to.
I do investigative reporting when I have to.
I give opinion, but I'm up front about it.
We do culture, we do sports, we do it all with like a full newspaper.
And uh I think many in our in our business claim to be objective journalists, and they're not.
They're talk show hosts like me.
They give opinion, but they just refuse to acknowledge who they are.
And what is so frustrating, Bill, we've gotten to the end of this campaign, and I predicted we would get here, is the media mob, as I call them, state-run media mob.
They have not done their job.
And Kamala, in her own words, that list I I won't regurgitate it, that I have been playing in her and her own words, the positions, her stated positions.
They have never checked her on most of them.
And that to me is it's not just a dereliction of duty, it is a purposeful dereliction of duty, and it is a campaign contribution on their on their behalf.
If they were honest about it, I could I could respect it.
But they're not.
You want some irony?
I know you're big on irony.
Uh love irony.
Here's the ironic part of all this.
Because of the media's hatred toward Donald Trump, which drives uh all of its coverage now, the media has destroyed itself.
It's never coming back.
It can never regain credibility.
It's like the Washington Post and the LA Times not endorsing.
The reason they're not endorsing is because both organizations are losing tens of millions of dollars.
They're going to go out of business.
They are desperate to try to convince some moderate conservative people to read their product, which is never going to happen.
All three network news divisions are in disarray.
I mean, disarray.
I work for two of them, I know.
The case did you see the media research center study that seventy-eight percent of coverage of Kamala is positive and eighty-five percent or eighty-six percent uh is negative on Trump.
That those are the three networks.
And then you see the LA Times, USA Today, Washington Post won't endorse.
Jeff Bezos writes that it's time for the the all the trust in the media is at an all-time low.
That's why he made that decision.
So isn't it ironic that the guy they hate, the guy they want to put out of business, and worse, is the guy who ultimately will destroy them.
That that that's an interesting point of view.
Explain.
Because all of this was driven, and it started with Jeff Zucker and CNN by a personal uh embarrassment that Trump got the nomination in 2016 and defeated Hillary Clinton.
Remember, you and I were covering this.
They were laughing at Trump.
There we go.
There's no way he's going to beat Hillary Clinton.
They were so embarrassed.
And ideologically, they line up with the Democratic Party.
I don't know if they're as progressive as the party is now, which is off the chart.
But they were so angry about Trump showing them up in 16.
They devoted all their resources in trying to cripple him going forward.
And therefore the coverage was blatantly dishonest and unfair.
Even today, the Associated Press headlines of the two speeches, one in the garden and one last night with Kamala is a disgrace.
And then the Associated Press is never going to come back from it.
So Trump passively, he didn't do anything actively, but because Trump is Trump, he has led the corporate media into the abyss.
And what is going to take its place are independent voices that people trust.
Aren't that many of them around, but I'm doing pretty damn well, as you know.
And that is what's going to be the future.
Not the CBS evening news, not good morning America, not the late night comedians.
They all destroyed themselves over Trump.
Pretty amazing.
I don't disagree with a lot of what you're saying.
Mr. O'Reilly, uh, by the time we reconvene at this time next week, we will be discussing election results.
And uh whether we whether or not we have a declared winner, I can only hope and pray.

Um just talking about this with uh all things simple man Bill O'Reilly about the lies of Kamala Harris and what she told last night.
It was it was it's just demagoguing at its worst.
And it is, you know, this is what this campaign is descended into.
The sad reality is nobody in the state-run media mob that loves to fact check in real time anything Donald Trump ever says or does they have ignored it.
They don't care.
They want her to win at all costs.
But we well, we'll do their job for them as usual.
Listen.
I will always tell you the truth, even if it is difficult to hear.
Would you call the border secure?
The border is secure.
We're gonna have two million people cross this border for the first time ever.
You're confident this border's secure.
We have a secure border.
I will always tell you the truth.
That last month our economy had zero percent inflation.
It is clear that our nation is making progress.
All that, ladies and gentlemen, and everyone else, that is called by dynamics.
That is called biodynamics, and we are very proud of it inomics.
I will always tell you the truth.
I spent a whole lot of time with our president, be it in the Oval Office or the Situation Room, and in other places.
And I can tell you, as I just mentioned, not only is he absolutely authoritative in rooms around the globe, but in the Oval Office, meeting with members of Congress.
I want to make every single solitary person eligible for what I've been able to do with the uh with the COVID, excuse me, with um dealing with everything we have to do with uh look we finally beat Medicare.
I will always tell you the truth for working families.
We have reduced heating and electricity bills.
So folks have more money in their pocket to buy things like school supplies, replace the dishwasher, or take a family vacation.
I will always tell you the truth.
In the ads, he's saying that you know Kamala Harris wants to spend taxpayers' money for sex changes in jails.
He has spent tens of millions of dollars trying to hit me with a bunch of disinformation and misinformation on this.
They were standing in the way of of surgery.
Um for prisoners.
For prisoners.
I worked behind the scenes to not only make sure that that transgender woman got the services she was deserving, so that every transgender inmate in the prison system would have access to the medical care that they desired and need.
I will always tell you the truth, even if it is difficult to hear.
Unbelievable.
Let's get to our busy phones.
The very important state of Georgia.
Uh, we check in with Peyton.
Peyton, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
Glad you're with us, sir.
How are you?
Hey, Sean, how are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm all right.
So uh I wanted to come on here.
Uh I'm 22 years old.
I've lived in the state of Georgia my entire life.
Oh, whoa, hang on a second.
You're you're 22 years old.
I have a quiz for you.
What does Kamala Harris think of you?
Do you know?
Yes, sir.
She said that generation 18 through 24 is stupid.
I I know that, sir.
Yes, sir.
Let me play that for everybody else, and then we'll get right back to you.
What's the other thing we know about this population?
And it's a specific phase of life.
Remember, age is more than a chronological fact.
What else do we know about this population, 18 through 24?
They are stupid.
That is why we put them in dormitories, and they have a resident assistant.
They make really bad decisions.
The only dumb decision they can make, and the only thing that would make them stupid is to vote for somebody that calls them stupid, because I actually believe people your age are quite intelligent, and we're glad you called Peyton.
I won't interrupt you again.
Yes, sir.
I agree.
I believe, um, in my opinion, you could disagree with me that this this generation, 18 or 24, I believe is the most impactful generation when it comes into to this election.
Well, I think it certainly can be, and I I just hope I don't I don't know what percentage of people your age are paying attention to politics.
Younger people tend not to be as involved in politics.
Uh other people, you know, get caught up in the moment.
You know, we're sending kids to schools where they're indoctrinated, they're not educated anymore.
And uh, I can't tell you the experiences that I hear from my um from our that I heard from my own kids and from their friends it's unbelievable the indoctrination um but the fact that you're young 22 you remind me of myself I was obsessed with politics and radio you know all throughout my teenage years and I couldn't wait to vote when I was 18 and the first vote I ever cast was for Ronald Reagan and uh I'm I'm proud of that to this day haven't missed a presidential election
since uh we love our friends in Georgia Peyton please lead uh an an army of of informed voters like yourself and and take them to the polls and and have a great time doing it have a fun time.
All right you too have a good day.
Okay an army I'm not talking about an army I'm talking about bringing a big crowd for you crazy lunatic liberals out there that would misinterpret that on purpose.
Let's say hi to George is in my home state of Florida.
George how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Hey, Sean.
How are you doing, my friend?
Hey, I want to give you some hope.
You said yesterday that journalism was dead.
It is?
I humbly disagree.
It's the legacy media that is dying.
The Biden and Trump debate, people saw that.
And I'm the legacy media telling everybody that Biden was fine.
And 80% of the country saw what you and I saw.
And they say, okay, if this legacy media, the mainstream media, NBC, NBC, all the alphabets are lying, what else are they lying to me?
And so they're looking for the news somewhere else.
I talked to Rush Limbaugh back in 2017.
He told me media is a battleground.
It's a battle every day, just like electoral politics is.
And with Elon Musk coming, basically, Elon Musk buying Twitter was just like August 1, 1988, when Rush Limbaugh started the conservative radio.
And there was a first assault on this monopoly on the news.
And Rush said that having a monopoly on the news gives you availability to do two things.
It gives you what you report and what you ignore.
And this alternative media reported what the mainstream media ignored.
And this full-fledged alternate media has come under attack in the last four or five years.
With Elon's Twitter, you being on Fox and your radio station and Joe Rogan's podcast, we have a full-fledged alternative media now.
And what this full-fledged media has done has awakened the American people that were not...
no would not be represented um on the legacy media and that's given them strength and and boldness to go out and talk to their family members on over the kitchen table.
So there is hope we just got to put them through this tape and through this election and I my sphere of influence is in Florida which um I'm not taking like you said not for granted I'm I already early voted I'm not telling anybody to vote but my other families in South Carolina I've sent them um polling information where they're not going to be in town on on on the Tuesday the fifth where they can vote where they can vote.
They have already voted.
Now, I have other families up in Atlanta, you know, in one of those key areas.
And although they don't agree politically with me, they are saying that basically they're not voting for the Democrats this time around because they're basically into homelessness and drug addiction.
They're advocates, and they know that.
Let me address your point, because I don't want to get too far away.
from your original point which was very important and and and I maybe I need to be a little more specific and you uh you're probably right I I could be a little bit more articulate in what I'm saying when I say journalism was dead I first declared that in 07 and 08 and it got I it got some angry comments by the left on but I just don't care what they think or say it mean it's meaningless to me.
But you're right traditional media legacy media is dead and in many ways and I we absolutely I'd love to hear Russia's voice today um He is a voice that is dearly missed, a great patriot that he was and a real pioneer in this this industry that I love, which is talk radio and and which spawns something like Fox News.
And what uh what has happened and the timing in my life I feel like it I've been so blessed because I've been on the ground floor of this transformation of alternative media.
But I was on the ground floor in talk radio.
My my first year in talk radio was 1987.
That was a year before Rush you know hit the scene I remember I heard about him in a college radio station and somebody said you got to listen to this guy.
He's hilarious and he's great and he was and he you know nobody will ever be as good as Rush.
And I said it at the time when he passed and I say it now and when Fox News went on the air I remember I was a local radio host in Atlanta and I left there.
And I remember people saying Fox News you know they had no idea what I was talking about and thought I was making the the biggest career mistake in my life and but I believed in the vision and and look what what Fox News and in so many ways has been able to do the legacy media traditional media ignored half the country for and and Fox doesn't.
Now, there are other voices on Fox News that I don't agree with, but they've kind of stuck to their original credo, which is fair and balanced, and they offer both sides.
But they do allow a voice like mine, a conservative voice, and I'm never told what to say.
And I've had the freedom to be myself to the best of my ability.
And I'm grateful for that, and I'm grateful to all of you that have made that possible.
So I stand corrected, actually, by you.
I think you are being far more specific in your analysis, and I should be more specific because you're dead on accurate.
Well, thank you.
I mean, there are rationales.
also I mean he he still has the answers.
anyway Rush's phone lines were on the same phone bank as my show and his studio was adjacent to my studio and people would call at all hours of the night my first shift for one year was 11 at night till two in the morning and I used to you know take calls and I'd say you're on the EIB network.
