| This is an iHeart Podcast. | |
| Leonard Skinner's simple man, that can only mean one thing on this radio program, all things self-proclaimed simple man. | |
| That means all things Bill O'Reilly, and of course all things Bill O'Reilly of Bill O'Reilly dot com and his new book confronting the presidents, no spin assessments of Washington to Biden. | |
| Um Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you? | |
| I'm uh busy like you, Hannity, not quite as busy as you, but approaching that level. | |
| You know, why do we call each other by the our last names? | |
| Why don't you call me Sean? | |
| I don't know why don't I call why do I call you O'Reilly? | |
| I don't get it. | |
| Uh I mean I guess that's how people know us, but there are too many Seans in the world and some there are too many O'Reilly's in the world. | |
| What are you talking about? | |
| Radar or there's only one Bill O'Reilly, that's for sure. | |
| Now it's a New York thing in uh Levitown where I grew up, everybody called everybody by their last name, and I've kind of incorporated that into adulthood. | |
| Um we have a lot going on. | |
| Isn't it nice of Bill Clinton to finally admit that Democrats cannot keep asserting that things are great in the economy because it's not true? | |
| He did blurt out that people like Lake and Riley would be alive today. | |
| She would be alive if we did some vetting at the border. | |
| Uh the left is beginning to freak out over Donald Trump's uh pledge to deport people that are illegally in this country. | |
| I mean, Bill, you have you have elected officials one after the other, all these congressmen, you know, Democratic senators, all of these governors, you know, starting in in Massachusetts and Governor Newsom, and it goes around the country just you know, now Katie Hobbs out in Arizona is saying that they will not cooperate with the deportation. | |
| Now here's the problem I have with it. | |
| Bill, we have had dozens of Lincoln Rileys murdered by unvetted Harris Biden illegals. | |
| We've had dozens of Americans that have been raped by Harris Biden unvetted illegals. | |
| We have had hundreds and hundreds of Americans victims of violent crime by Harris Biden unvetted illegals. | |
| We have gang members. | |
| We have, you know, this this gang that everybody now knows about uh from uh what you recall from Venezuela, Trend de Aragua. | |
| They're now in sixteen states. | |
| We have known terrorists in the country, Bill, and we know what they're doing. | |
| They're plotting and planning another 9-11 attack on our country or worse. | |
| And why are all of these governors, why did California Los Angeles pass an a sanctuary city ordinance in the wake of Trump's election? | |
| Why did Boston's mayor, Michelle uh Wu vow to defy Trump's mass deportation order? | |
| Uh why did Katie Hobbs, the governor of Arizona, joining quote the resistance to protect illegal immigrants over the lives of American citizens? | |
| Can you explain that to me? | |
| Yeah, they play into the base. | |
| So all three of the uh people you mentioned are far left uh politicians who got elected by far left voters who want open borders. | |
| And so they play there. | |
| But it's over. | |
| It really is all over. | |
| Um for that segment. | |
| And I hope the Trump administration will uh be very uh methodical and smart in the way it goes about punishing these people. | |
| Uh they're gonna have to get a a law, a separate law, maybe the Lake and Riley law, uh to punish sanctuary cities. | |
| Um because can I interrupt, not because I'm being a jerk. | |
| I really want an answer. | |
| Isn't that aiding and abetting law breaking? | |
| Isn't it institutionalizing law breaking because we have federal laws, immigration laws, and they are they are assisting in breaking those laws? | |
| Yeah, symbolically it is, and they pay the price by losing the election. | |
| So the uh open border was part of the equation that led to Trump's landslide. | |
| So they paid a hu humongous price. | |
| But in Boston and Sacramento, they don't pay a price, so they continue to parrot this stuff. | |
| Katie Hobbes, if she had competition uh at a higher level, wouldn't be there. | |
| She would have lost uh in Arizona. | |
| But she'll lose the next time. | |
| She wasn't up this cycle, but she'll lose in the next cycle. | |
| The Trump Administration to figure this out fast. | |
| And and this is the key component. | |
| That as soon as Donald Trump as president goes after the sanctuary cities and does um deportations, it's gonna be blocked in federal court. | |
| I mean the ACLU is already filed paper, and Trump's just president elect. | |
| So what has to happen the first week is that Congress has to pass a law that says if you are a local or state municipality and you defy federal law, which the Constitution says takes precedent, then the federal government can deny you federal funding. | |
| Once that's in law, then Trump has got a free fire zone to punish these people. | |
| But he can't do it by executive order alone. | |
| He's got to get that law passed. | |
| And right now, he would. | |
| Even some Democrats would vote for that, I believe. | |
| I mean, that's the scary part. | |
| And we have murderers, rapists, we have gang members, we have cartel members, and we have known terrorists in the country. | |
| And for these Democrats to dig their heels in, it tells me they learn nothing from this past election. | |
| They live in the the wizard of Oz land of the far left. | |
| So Wu doesn't have to worry about this. | |
| Either does uh Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth uh Warren in Ba in uh in Massachusetts. | |
| And these people aren't gonna change, but that's actually good news for the traditional conservative group. | |
| And here is what I want to this is my main point today on my programs, and now I'm gonna intrude on the Hannity program. | |
| MSNBC is done. | |
| Done. | |
| They're finished, it's over. | |
| By the way, MSDNC is for sale. | |
| No C MBC is for sale. | |
| It's what they're spinning it off. | |
| Spinning it off BS. | |
| NBC Comcast said today, they are uncoupling. | |
| That's the word they l used, MSNBC from the NBC News apparatus. | |
| That means they're gonna be massive layoffs over there. | |
| They don't have any uh entree into NBC's reporting or anything like that. | |
| They're on their own. | |
| That was announced today. | |
| And we know and Joe and Mika, who who and I love your thoughts on this, who met with Donald Trump at their request at Mar-a-Lago. | |
| Now, he's far more magnanimous about this than I would be after being called a racist, a fascist, a Nazi. | |
| You know, I could play three hours of this radio program, just Joe and Mika launching into Donald Trump the last eight plus years, and they go there, kiss the ring. | |
| I don't know, and and today they're on the air saying, Well, we could be fired tomorrow. | |
| They've been universally condemned by both the left and the right for what they're what they're trying to pull off here. | |
| I mean, what do you really believe? | |
| I mean, Joe Joe Scarborough, liberal Joe, you know, up till recently would try to persuade people that he's a conservative, which you and I both know is a joke. | |
| But legacy media bill died this election. | |
| Yeah, but nine straight years, they they have been trashing Trump and nobody cared what they said. | |
| And that's why Trump agreed to the meeting, because he said, here they come. | |
| Now they have to kiss my you know what. | |
| That's why he did it. | |
| And it was a it was a great PR move to have these two grovel at Mar-a-Lago. | |
| And Mika and Joe, they're gonna be one of the first to go because they're making so much money. | |
| Who's gonna pay their salary, Sanity? | |
| Who? | |
| They're uncoupled. | |
| Not me. | |
| They're finished. | |
| Okay. | |
| What do you make of the Washington Post and Jeff Bezos now looking to hire conservatives to write for the newspaper? | |
| Now I know this is true. | |
| Because I know a couple of people that have been called in for interviews, and meanwhile, the Washington Post has a a person that used to claim to be a conservative also that is a harsh anti-Trumper, more harsh than even the most prominent ones, saying, you know, giving advice to Democrats, tell voters Republicans want to kill your children. | |
| Look, you did you remember my interview with this Reuben woman? | |
| You've got to just Google Bill O'Reilly. | |
| No, I remember I do remember the one with Barney Frank. | |
| I don't remember this one. | |
| This is a one-frank one is a classic, the people ought to pull up on YouTube. | |
| I want everybody after they finish listening to Hannity to Google Bill O'Reilly, Jennifer Rubin. | |
| I reduced her to cinder. | |
| It was unbelievable. | |
| But I'm telling people, don't work for the Washington Post because your check is gonna bounce. | |
| They lost seventy seven million dollars this year, Hannity, in an election year. | |
| And that's before the two hundred and fifty thousand people, you know, just uh got rid of the subscriptions as a result of the Washington Post refusing to endorse a candidate. | |
| Whatever. | |
| It's it's this over. | |
| It's great revenge. | |
| And and it and it's a passive retribution. | |
| He's not doing anything. | |
| All right, but all of the people who tormented him. | |
| They're all going down the drain. | |
| Look, when we started at the Fox News Channel in nineteen ninety six, you and I were originals. | |
| MSNBC had been on the air for three months, and it was a hard news operation designed to complement NBC News because NBC News only had a half hour. | |
| That's all Lester Holt had over there. | |
| So they said Well, at the time, to be fair, it was Tom Brokov, but go ahead. | |
| Okay, it's Broke all Lester, they're all the same. | |
| Um so they said, Hey, no, we're all the same. | |
| All right, go ahead. | |
| Crack me up. | |
| Go ahead. | |
| Um we can now do what f uh CNN does because we have the technology, we could have our correspondence. | |
| One more thing I forgot to tell you about Joe and Mika. | |
| They were ordered to go to Mar-a-Lago. | |
| They didn't go why w why why do you say that? | |
| Are you is this speculation or do you have insight? | |
| Look, you and I were talking about something off camera uh the other day, and you said, Oh, Riley, how did you know this? | |
| And I told you very soon. | |
| That's true. | |
| I know there was there was one thing that he I'm like, how the hell did you know? | |
| I know everything. | |
| And whatever you don't know everything. | |
| You think you know everything. | |
| Well, you don't know everything, which cracks me up. | |
| The fact that you think you know everything. | |
| All right, quick break, right back. | |
| We'll continue more with Simple Man Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly of Bill O'Reilly dot com as we continue. | |
| Right, we continue now. | |
| All things simple man, Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly, Bill O'Reilly.com. | |
| Here's a good question, and you're a Boston guy, you know Mike Barnacle. | |
| I mean, I accept that he's a liberal. | |
| I don't know him as well as you do. | |
| Um I did run into him once. | |
| He couldn't have been nicer to me. | |
| But he asked a really important question on Liberal Joe. | |
| He said, I don't know how we can make cable news relevant again. | |
| Now I don't think that applies to the Fox News channel, because we are relevant. | |
| Our reporting on the border on the economy, telling Americans the truth, allowing both sides to be heard. | |
| Uh and and I'm I'm not tooting my own horn here, but you know, informing people of the real Kamala Harris and putting together the comalophiles and playing her in her own words. | |
| That's stuff that nobody else in the media did or does Bill, and I think that distinguishes us from everybody else. | |
| And and you do the same thing in your own way now in your own little empire that you have built out, which has gone very, very viral, which I'm happy for. | |
| The cable news industry is going to be very difficult to sustain. | |
| The best model is Fox News because it is really the only alternative that traditional conservative and fair-minded Americans have in the new television news industry. | |
| Okay, News Nation is trying that. | |
| It's it's making progress, and it's I think it's a model is good. | |
| But obviously, you and I built Fox News, and and the legacy there is that traditional and conservative Americans never had a news outlet that respected them ever until Fox News came on. | |
| That legacy will keep Fox going. | |
| But the others have destroyed themselves by being a dishonest. | |
| But here's the most important point. | |
| They're hateful. | |
| And Fox News is not hateful. | |
| Never has been. | |
| And that is the big difference. | |
| That's a really good analysis. | |
| And I will tell you, talk radio is here to stay. | |
| Podcasting is here to stay. | |
| People will seek out alternative forms of media on social media where you dominate right now. | |
| And again, all credit to you. | |
| And I agree with you. | |
| Fox News is honest, and we're not angry, and we tell the truth, and you get all sides. | |
| And I think that has been a formula for success. | |
| And from day one, of which we were a part of it, and a part of history that I think will be studied for years and years and years. | |
| And I'm very grateful to this audience that gives me this microphone every day and that camera every night, because you know, I mean, I have a face for radio. | |
| Let's be honest. | |
| You got Dick Clark here. | |
| You're you're doing fine on. | |
| All right, Mr. O'Reilly, all things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly, when you go to BillO'Reilly.com. | |
| Sir, thank you. | |
| We appreciate your insight. | |
| All right, 25 till the top of the hour. | |
| We'll get to your calls here in mere moments. | |
| If you're just joining us, by the way, Lakin Riley's uh murderer, Abarra found guilty. | |
| Life in prison is the sentence, and uh frankly it would warrant the death penalty in my mind, but it he will have no chance of ever getting out of a prison cell uh that does not bring comfort to the family of Lake and Riley. | |
| And I've spoken to her family, and I they are devastated, their lives will never be the same, and then we have Democrats fighting in this country to protect those that did not respect our laws, borders, sovereignty. | |
| Even though we have known terrorists, we have murderers like the murder of Lake and Riley and dozens of other Americans and dozens of other Americans raped, and dozens and hundreds and hundreds of Americans victims of violent crimes. | |
| We have these crazy gangs now, sixteen states, this Venezuelan gang that we talk so often about is all over the place. | |
| The trend day Aragua gang. | |
| Now they're in Tennessee, sixteen states total, and they're you know, getting more violent by the day. | |
| We have cartels here, we have all the fentanyl and opioid problems that have gotten dramatically worse under Harris and Biden. | |
| And of course, we're learning that under Harris and Biden with our wide open borders, that in fact uh you know, other crimes have been committed. | |
| I mean, we now have a report out today finally that you know a Senate investigation, unaccompanied child smuggling finds major failures of Harris and Biden. | |
| Why didn't they release that before the election? | |
| Anyway, we'll get to your calls in a second. | |

| All right, so much news to get to. | |
| Where do I start? | |
| Uh we're gonna get to your phone calls coming up here in a second. | |
| So they're having this battle over whether or not those that identify as that men, for example, that identify as women, whether in Congress, now it's reached the halls of Congress, whether they those men can use women's bathrooms. | |
| Here's Congresswoman Nancy Mace. | |
| The the idea of that is a trigger for me. | |
| I have PTSD from the abuse that I've suffered. | |
| And I'm gonna do everything I can to protect women and girls. | |
| I know how vulnerable we are in private spaces. | |
| If you're changing clothes, men shouldn't be anywhere in the room. | |
| Period. | |
| This is only the start, and I'm not gonna stop. | |
| I'm I they are threatening to kill me over this. | |
| Men that want to use women's restrooms are threatening to kill me over this issue. | |
| Uh good luck. | |
| I was the first woman to graduate from the Citadel, the military college of South Carolina, and if we haven't met yet, I want all the bullies online to know you will not bully me into submission. | |
| I can't be threatened. | |
| You can't threaten my life enough. | |
| That means I'm just gonna double and triple quadruple down on this issue. | |
| What is she referring to specifically? | |
| There is an LGBTQ activist that wants to find Nancy in a woman's bathroom and bash her face on the floor. | |
| This was on Instagram. | |
| Listen. | |
| This video goes out to Congresswoman Nancy Mace. | |
| Congresswoman Nancy Mace. | |
| I hope that one day I do find you in that woman's bathroom, and I grab your ratty looking and drag your face down to the floor while I repeatedly bash it in throw the blood's everywhere and you're dead. | |
| Thank you. | |
| I hope that Nancy Nase receives this message. | |
| Well kisses. | |
| Now that would be called a terroristic threat. | |
| That would be called illegal. | |
| You don't have the right to threaten people's lives, which is what this person on Instagram is doing. | |
| And I hope the proper authorities have already arrived and rectified that situation and resolved it. | |
| And I hope this person is arrested and charged as they appropriately should be. | |
| All right, let's get to our busy phones. | |
| 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program. | |
| Alex is in, I'm not sure, North Dakota. | |
| Is that where he's from? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Very good, Sean. | |
| First of all, I'd like to say happy Thanksgiving. | |
| Regardless of what's going on in the world, we all have things to be thankful for. | |
| And also, God bless you all for what you do. | |
| Thank you for letting us do it. | |
| We appreciate you. | |
| Uh my question, Joe Biden. | |
| This is about Joe Biden escalating the war in Ukraine. | |
| If Russia declares war against NATO and the United States. | |
| Does Biden stay in that position until the war is over? | |
| You mean does he remain the commander in chief? | |
| Yes, he does. | |
| Until noon on January 20th of this coming year. | |
| That would be two months from today. | |
| Whether we go to war or not. | |
| Whether we go to war or not. | |
| He is the commander in chief up until the moment Donald Trump is sworn in. | |
| Okay. | |
| I want to thank you very much for putting my mind at ease. | |
| I had another question about come off. | |
| But I'll tell you, it's probably it's problematic. | |
| You need to understand this. | |
| He knows what the incoming president's policies are. | |
| He knows that he wants to de-escalate this conflict, and he wants a resolution to this and an end to this. | |
| And after Joe Biden gave the go-ahead for ballistic missiles supplied by the U.S. in the hands of the Ukrainians to be fired into Russia directly right at Moscow by doing that and a few other things. | |
| He is exponentially escalating the situation there when he should be, you know, deferring to the incoming president's foreign policy and giving him a chance to resolve this conflict peacefully. | |
| And then he's given them another 250 million dollars. | |
| And then he's allowing other weaponry to be used that up to this point he'd he had not allowed. | |
| So it is it is mind numbing to me. | |
| It's almost like they want to set a trap that Donald Trump can't resolve the conflict. | |
| And the most dangerous part of the equation, that comes from Vladimir Putin himself. | |
| And Vladimir Putin just changed the rules that if you fire a ballistic missile, that would warrant a legal nuclear attack against the country that would fire a ballistic missile at them. | |
| Well, that means that war could be escalated dramatically. | |
| It could include other countries in Europe and all throughout Europe. | |
| They're advising citizens how to prepare for potential war. | |
| I mean, that's how dangerous what Joe is and and Kamala have done here. | |
| I guess she's the last person in the room, so she's deciding as well. | |
| It is extraordinarily stupid and dangerous. | |
| Isn't there any department in this government that can stop Biden from escalating the war? | |
| I mean, he's got free reign to do what he wants. | |
| Yeah, the answer I'm answering your question. | |
| The answer is yes. | |
| Oh my gosh. | |
| He can do whatever the hell he wants right now. | |
| Anyway, I appreciate the call. | |
| I I've been warning about this now for the last couple of days. | |

| All right, quick break, right back to our phones. | |
| 800 941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program as we continue. | |
| Up next, our final roundup and information overload hours. | |
| All right, let's get back to our busy phones. | |
| 800 941 Sean, if you want to join us. | |
| Uh is it McKenzie Ohio next Sean Hannity show? | |
| Hey, Sean, longtime listener, first-time caller. | |
| I wanted to touch base with you on the trans uh people in women's sports. | |
| Um I am an ex-collegiate athlete, played soccer my whole life, competed at a national level when we were in league play growing up, and I'm gonna make some points, but I want you to understand how I know these things. | |
| So we had to seek out boys' teams to compete with to prepare for tournaments and things, because we didn't have the level of play that we needed with the girls on the surrounding teams. | |
| And so when we were 13, 12, we would scrimmage and destroy boys' teams of the same age. | |
| As soon as we hit puberty girls, 14, 15 years old, we could no longer beat those 13-year-old boys that we were completely out, like we outskilled them. | |
| I've had three ACL surgeries due to soccer, and I've had a surgeon explain it to me. | |
| So there's a physiological change that females go through. | |
| It's anatomical. | |
| I'm tired of hearing about strength. | |
| It is so much more than strength. | |
| When we hit puberty as biological females, our hips spread. | |
| We become naturally not known. | |
| Women have 50% more ACL surgeries because of this. | |
| If you watch men's professional soccer and women's professional soccer soccer, men can turn on a dime. | |
| Women no longer can after puberty. | |
| It is a physiological change in our bodies to allow for childbirth. | |
| And so not only strength, but more importantly, you literally cannot keep up with this with the speed and the agility of men. | |
| And so I don't care if you take puberty blockers, you have not had your hips spread. | |
| Period. | |
| So puberty blockers are not. | |
| You are anatomically different than us and therefore able to be better than us, even though we might have more skill than you. | |
| Everything you are saying, a lot of people in this woke world don't want to hear. | |
| But it is, you know, the person that I I defer to on this the most is Caitlin Jenner. | |
| Now, long before Caitlin was Caitlin, she was Bruce Jenner. | |
| I knew Caitlin as Bruce. | |
| And I had interviewed Bruce Jenner many, many times, and you know, this big interview goes down, and I did not know that Caitlin was listening to this radio program that day, and I was commenting on the interview, and I did say I don't understand it, but I wish Caitlin every happiness, and I meant it then, and I mean it now. | |
| But Caitlin's an adult, and and we had a long, very productive conversation about the whole thing. | |
| And long story short, she has been very outspoken about biological men playing women's sports, and and making the point. | |
| Now Caitlin is a little a little older, but Caitlin's a hell of an athlete. | |
| I mean, you're talking about winning the decathlon in the Olympics. | |
| I mean, this is big stuff. | |
| And an amazing golfer can hit the ball close to 300 yards, if not further, which if anybody plays golf, that is an enormous drive, meaning that she would have a competitive edge if she were to play in any golf tournaments as a woman. | |
| And she won't do that because she knows she has a physical advantage. | |
| So I really defer to her on this, and she's been the most outspoken saying it's just not fair. | |
| And I think most Americans have a sense of fairness about this. | |
| Now, on the issue of acceptance, I think Americans are pretty libertarian like I am. | |
| I'm not going to get into people's personal business. | |
| It's not my business. | |
| It really isn't. | |
| And whatever whatever decisions adults make is up to them. | |
| I'm not getting in their way. | |
| However, when you have young children and that they want to make life-altering decisions, permanent life-altering decisions that are not reversible. | |
| And governments want to come in like in California and Minnesota and say that you can give minors gender-affirming care and not tell the parents or inform the parents. | |
| Well, that is the state arrogantly saying that they're more important and they're smarter than parents, and parents have no rights. | |
| If they're in school, you know, teach them how to read, write, do math, you know, learn science and history, and then go home. | |
| If they want to play sports, they can play sports, but you don't have to share bathrooms. | |
| We shouldn't have feminine hygiene products in fourth grade boys' bathrooms, and we shouldn't have gender-affirming care for minors without parental consent. | |
| And to me, it's a simple equation. | |
| And the American people voted on that issue as well, this election, don't you think? | |
| I do. | |
| And you bring up a good point. | |
| So you have kids who honestly, there's a reason that they're called minors. | |
| Uh, we take care of them. | |
| I have three of my own. | |
| They make a decision that they later in life change their their mind to, and people are saying this, so I'm repetitive here. | |
| But they've taken these puberty blockers. | |
| So as a female, their bodies will never be as such that they would be able to have children naturally, because they have stopped the natural process that we have to go through that. | |
| I am proud to be a female. | |
| I've never been a feminist, but I'm turning into one because somebody has to protect the women and my daughter and the other daughters in the world. | |
| And they can never they'll never go back. | |
| They've stopped their bodies' progression of natural hormones happening. | |
| And their bodies are forever changed. | |
| They can't go back. | |
| They've missed the window. | |
| And so I agree with you a hundred percent. | |
| Well, I'm gonna have to run for the constraints of time, but it's an important discussion. | |
| And I I do want people to be nice to each other, respectful of each other, kind to each other. | |
| You know, if if we follow the golden rule, love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul, and your neighbor as yourself, and treat others the way you want to be treated, uh, I think we'll go far. | |
| And and that means for minors that have issues that they might be struggling with or whatever, I think other kids need to be taught understanding and acceptance. | |
| And and stuff I can't stay, I can't stand people that are bullies. | |
| I don't like them. | |
| Uh anyway, I appreciate your call, 800-941-Shawn if you want to be a part of the program. |
