Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, Leonard Skinner, Simple Man.
That can only mean one thing on this radio program, and that is all things simple man.
That means all things, Bill O'Reilly.
All things Bill O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, very, very slow news period again.
I've got to ask you before we really get started here about the 4B movement.
And that is the women that have taken the loss of Kamala Harris so hard.
It started with shaving their heads and basically waving off, saying they're not going to have sex with their husbands, boyfriends, whatever.
Some women are pledging to divorce their husbands, their boyfriends, or split up with their boyfriends if they voted for Trump.
And they're stockpiling abortion pills.
And now another movement has emerged where women are now sterilizing themselves.
Now, you're a simple man.
Try and give me a simple explanation for that.
And if you can explain the part, if you're going to sterilize yourself and you're not going to have sex, you're going to wave off sex.
Why do you need the abortion pills?
I think there should be a game show.
Oh, no.
Why did I open this door?
Go ahead.
Yes, it should be a game show hosted by Rosie O'Donnell.
And it should be the four Bs.
And if you don't get a quiz question right, you have to select one of the four things.
Shave your head, pledge not to have sex, whatever it may be.
Everybody would watch, Hannity.
I'll produce that.
And we'll get you as one of the guests.
No, no, no, no.
I want no part of this.
This is all your wheelhouse.
You can have the whole thing.
See, this is what I call media hype.
So there's maybe four women in the United States that'll do any of that stuff.
All right, and they're all in San Francisco.
No, no, Bill.
Well, on those getting sterilized, those numbers are not high.
I'll agree with that part.
However, the number of women on social media posting videos of them shaving their heads is very real.
Well, maybe they're going to be nuns.
You guys, you can't have long hair with a habit on your head.
So you never know what the circumstances are going to be.
But this is media hype.
That's what this is.
But look, right?
Listen, I believe in freedom.
They're adults.
They can do whatever they want, right?
If you want to shave your head and run around, remember, Anne, when I wrote Killing the Witches, that's what they did to the witches up in Salem.
They shaved their heads.
They did all that.
I have a very interesting thing to tell you in your audience.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Always ready.
So this morning I did an interview with Le Express in Paris.
Do you know that magazine?
Le Express.
Yes, sir.
I do.
Big.
It's big in Europe.
And their chief American correspondent did the interview.
He was in Paris on Long Island.
And the questioning was fascinating.
It was absolutely fascinating because, as you know, President Trump goes to Paris over the weekend to attend the unveiling of the new cathedral at Notre Dame.
One of the most stunning places in the world.
Next to St. Peter's, if you're Catholic, that's number two.
St. Patrick's in New York, number three, by the way.
But anyway, Le Express wanted me to express my opinion.
And you know, I'm reticent to do that, Hannah.
You know, I don't do that very much.
You're a very shy guy.
I got that.
I'm simple and shy.
Very, very demure.
That's how I describe you.
Go ahead.
As usual, you're accurate.
By the way, word of the day, demure.
Excellent.
Boy, are you upgrading?
I can't tell you.
Three years ago, you would have never used that word.
So the questions were fascinating because the European readership, because Le Express goes out of France.
It's a big French magazine.
It goes all over Europe.
And they have no idea, really, literally no idea what Donald Trump's agenda is, number one, what he wants to accomplish.
And number two, why he won.
Can I ask you a question?
Why don't they just listen to what he said?
Because his agenda is pretty clear.
I think it's unambiguous.
I don't think there's going to be a lot of surprises.
You know, if you remember what defined his first term were promises made, promises kept.
And I think that will define his second term.
If you think I'm wrong, tell me.
You say, why don't they just listen to his words?
Because they don't get that.
Because unlike the media in America, which is corporate run, most of the media in Europe is state-run.
And they don't run Trump's rallies and they don't explain things to the people.
They take an anti-Trump slant and ram it down the Europeans' throats, as they do.
And they always do.
And they do it in Britain and Ireland as well.
So anyway, I really, it'll be, and the guy who interviewed me was a smart guy.
He knew the questions they asked.
Well, when I gave the answers, he was like flabbergasted because it all makes sense.
You know, I said, look, this is the guy.
He's a deal maker.
Here's what he wants to accomplish.
Here's what he did his first four years.
Here's how Biden screwed it all up.
And I was very explicit about that.
And now he's coming back to try to restore America's greatness, in his words, Trump's words.
And it was an amazing interview.
I wish it had been on television, although it was in English.
He's going to write it in French.
But it was really startling for me to see how little the Europeans understand about our political system and the players in it.
Isn't it amazing the world reaction?
Donald Trump says that either Canada and Mexico close their borders or he's going to slap them with a 25% tariff.
And little Justin Trudeau races down to Mar-a-Lago, basically kissing the ring and begging him not to do it.
The president of Mexico pledges that the caravans are going to stop and they're going to secure their end of the border.
I have no doubt Remain in Mexico will be the policy in this country in short order.
That's my guess.
That's my prediction.
Then you have Zelensky saying that he's willing to give up land to come to some negotiated peace deal.
Vladimir Putin is saying he basically can't wait for Donald Trump to get back in because he wants a negotiated settlement.
You have Hezbollah in the north out of Lebanon.
They're now talking peace.
Hamas in the south out of Gaza.
They're now talking peace.
The communist Chinese have never been this quiet in four years.
And the Iranian mullows, according to every report, are hiding in a bunker deep in the ground somewhere, scared to death because Donald Trump's coming into office.
I mean, pretty amazing just what one victory can do to the world.
All right.
I don't know where to start, but let me give you a couple of headlines.
Justin came down because it's cold in Canada.
He was down in Palm Beach, and he ran up a big...
No, that's not why he came down.
He came down because he's scared to death that he's going to be hit with tariffs.
Yeah, he goes, I'll do whatever you want.
That's what Trudeau did.
That's basically what he did.
Yeah.
But Claudia Scheinbaum, no.
No.
Her statement, and I'm quoting now, respecting human rights, thanks to this, migrants and caravan are assisted before they reach the border with the United States.
She's saying that they're going to continue to assist the migrants.
That was after they agreed to stop the caravans, and she was trying to say, in my view, my interpretation was then she was trying to save face and not act like she was capitulating like little Justin to Donald Trump, but she really is.
But the last statement on November 27th by the new president, Claudia Scheinbaum, was we're going to continue to assist it.
Now, listen to these stats.
37 million Americans approximately visit Mexico every year, spending more than $20 billion down there.
That is dwarfed by Mexicans in the United States working, sending money back to their families.
That's about between $100 and $400 billion.
No one really knows because nobody tracks it.
Our trade deficit with Mexico is about $150 billion, which means that country gets $150 billion more than we get when we trade.
All Donald Trump has to do, he doesn't have to do tariffs.
He just has to go on television and say, we're getting hosed by the Mexican government with narcotics and with human smuggling.
I hope that no American will go there on vacation.
That's number one.
Number two, and if this continues down there, we are not going to honor the previous treaties, and we're going to negotiate from scratch, and it's going to be one-on-one.
For every dollar that we spend, you spend a dollar.
That crashes the Mexican economy, as you just said.
That would take, what, a minute?
Bill, this fight is over before it even starts.
I don't care what she says.
We know how it's going to end.
Right.
Whatever you want.
But it has to be done quickly.
And then the cartels, we're going to have to deal with those cartels, and we're going to have to deal with them in a ferocious way.
What is your reaction to the pardon of Hunter Biden by his father and the media with egg all over their face?
And, you know, the interesting side note to all of this is, you know, Joe Biden himself was the one that bragged he did the quid pro quo and you're not getting a billion tax dollars in loan guarantees unless you fire the prosecutor investigating a zero experience, drug-addicted son who's being paid millions.
Never mind the money he got from CEFC.
Then you got the Russian oligarch, Elena Battalena, sending $3.5 million over to Hunter's company.
Then you've got the Kazakhstan oligarch, just the right amount of money to pay for a brand new Porsche bill.
And while the troubles of Hunter may be gone, the troubles for Joe and Jim Biden and other family members that might have benefited from these foreign transactions, they don't go away with Hunter's pardon.
As a matter of fact, Hunter could be exhibit A witness A, his laptop and his testimony, because he loses all Fifth Amendment privileges by accepting this unprecedented pardon.
First of all, can you say that Russian oligarch's name again?
Elena Batalena.
I love it.
love that name i just uh you say you sounded like a weirdo o'reilly Let me stop you there.
Just go.
Just talk.
No, I think that she should be a pundit on television news.
Here's Elena Bakalena.
Come on.
Okay, this is what I love about this pardon story.
Number one, I would have pardoned my son for nonviolent crime if I were president.
Even though he screwed up, I would have done it.
But the excuse that Biden gave, like this is a political thing and nobody else would have been targeted when the man didn't pay taxes on, what, $20 to $30 million.
And on the same day, Biden promises a billion dollars to Africa.
Okay?
Now, does anybody on earth think that billion dollars is going to get to the folks in Africa who need it?
Of course it's not.
Okay.
But here's another billion.
Yeah, by the way, while we're simultaneously, I hit this on radio and TV yesterday, ignoring people freezing to death in North Carolina, victims of Hurricane Helene, that have been denied FEMA request after FEMA request.
And but for charitable organizations like Operation Hilo and Samaritan's Purse and churches and neighbor helping neighbor that have nothing, they're ignoring all those people, Bill.
But here's the kicker on my analysis of the pardon.
So Biden makes an excuse.
It's absurd, and any responsible father would not have made it.
They would have said, my son did wrong, and I am ashamed that I have dealt with that.
But I'm going to pardon him.
I don't want to go to jail.
We'll all understand that.
But Hunter Biden doesn't have to pay any fines or even restitution on the amount of money that he didn't pay the federal government because of the pardon.
So the billion tax dollars Hannity and O'Reilly are sending to Africa, Hunter's not involved with that.
He doesn't have to make restitution.
Now, as far as your point on the Fifth Amendment, it's a legal point that, you know, would be litigated forever.
I don't expect that to happen, by the way, unless there is evidence that surfaces, and we have not seen that evidence that money flowed directly into Joe Biden's bank account.
If that happens, then all hell breaks loose.
But there's no doubt that every American who's honest knows that Joe Biden sold influence.
That's what Joe Biden did.
And this is almost a good thing, Hannity, for people like you and me who want history to be recorded accurately.
Pardoning his son, Joe Biden cements his legacy as the second worst president in history, as I write in my stunningly best-selling book, Confronting the Presidents.
By the way, the book is very good, and you did say that at the time, and I totally, completely agree with you, although he's right up there for running for number one if he starts World War III on his way out the door, which he seems like he's trying to do.
All things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly, BillO'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, appreciate you being with us.
We'll talk about what your plans for Christmas are next week.
How's that?
That sounds great.
Thanks for having me.
Thank you.
The immigration issue just continues to unfold, and it just never ends.
What is getting interesting in this is now the New York City mayor, who once, by the way, to his credit, and I had Tom Holman on TV talking about this last night, once believed in New York City being in a sanctuary city.
And then, of course, they came, meaning all of the illegal immigrants.
And crime went through the roof.
And the cost to the city went into the billions of dollars.
And they can't afford it.
And Eric Adams is now saying enough.
He wants to meet with Tom Holman.
He wants to deport all of these illegal immigrants.
And this is what he had to say.
Those who are here committing crimes, robberies, shooting at police officers, raping innocent people have been a harm to our country.
I want to sit down and hear the plan on how we're going to address them.
Those are the people I am talking about.
And I would love to sit down with the Border Czar and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address those who are harming our citizens.
I want you to all go back and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country.
They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away.
That was their position.
So this is not a new position, you know, because in the state of in the era of cancel culture, no one's afraid to be honest about the truth.
Well, cancel me because I'm going to protect the people of the city.
Now, what's interesting is how far left and radical and extreme the Democratic Party has become.
Now, what do I mean by that?
Well, I've got comments of Barack Obama and comments of Hillary Clinton, Obama in 06, Hillary Clinton in 08, and ask yourself who they sound like.
I think we got to have tough conditions.
Tell people to come out of the shadows.
If they've committed a crime, deport them.
No questions asked.
They're gone.
If they've been working and are law-abiding, we should say, here are the conditions for you staying.
You have to pay a stiff fine because you came here illegally.
You have to pay back taxes.
And you have to try to learn English and you have to wait in line.
Those who enter our country illegally and those who employ them disrespect the rule of law.
And because we live in an age where terrorists are challenging our borders, we cannot allow people to pour into the U.S. undetected, undocumented, and unchecked.
Oh, hang on a second.
You can't disrespect the rule of law, deport them, no questions asked.
Oh, my gosh, they sound like Donald Trump.
Now the question is, ask yourself, how did this party, and what have I been saying about the Democratic Party?
I've been telling you they have now become radicalized.
They have become extreme.
They are out of touch with the American people.
Everyone wants to, you know, wring their hands and try and figure out what happened in this election.
Well, just look at Tim Walz and Kamala Harris between the two of them.
They're on record wanting to decriminalize the illegal immigration.
Under Harris and Biden, we watched 12 and a half unvetted illegals come into the country.
That included known terrorists.
That included cartel members.
That included gang members.
We watched thousands of Americans and thousands of Americans and thousands of them.
Many have been murdered and raped and victims of violent crime.
And Democrats just turned a blind eye to us and to all of it and said to us, no, the border is secure.
The border is closed.
And they just flat out lied to us.
The mainstream legacy media mob, they ignored the story because they want to defend all things radical, extreme Democrat.
Then they want to give on top of all that legal driver's licenses, taxpayer-funded college education, and sex change operations if the illegal immigrants so want them.
That is how radicalized and extreme this party has become.
It's also how out of touch they have become.
I keep saying the Democratic Party has become the party of coastal elites.
This is what I'm talking about.
Sure, the George Clooney idiot of the year and Julia Roberts of the world and the Hollywood elitists out there, they support this.
The people in the Washington swamp, they support this.
And people in New York society, I guess they support this.
But the rest of America rejects it.
And this is what we would have faced had Kamala Harris won the presidency.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
800-941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, let's say hi to James.
He's in the great state of Texas.
God bless Texas.
James, how are you?
Glad you called.
Thank you so much, Sean, for having me on the line.
I really love your Fox News show.
I appreciate all you do.
I have a question for you, which is, how did you get your start in conservative media?
And what advice do you have for young people, such as myself, who would like to enter into the conservative political theme?
How old are you?
I'm 18 years old, sir.
I'm a college freshman.
Okay, college freshman.
Look, my first start was, and I had no idea that this would be my future.
I was just interested in it.
And I was obsessed with basically the early years of talk radio, the real pioneers of talk radio.
I'd stay up late at night when I was a young teenager and I just listened to the radio all night.
I drove my parents up a wall, but I got an education doing it.
And when I was in construction, I'd listen to talk radio all day, and that's all I cared about.
And I'd be on a ladder 40 feet in the air and I'd be calling talk shows.
And one day I had an opportunity to get a show and I went and I got it.
I never thought I would be here on almost 750 stations.
And, you know, on the Fox News channel, TV was never part of the equation.
So I really followed my passion.
This is the answer.
I mean, I was obsessed with Reagan's presidency, the first president I voted for in 1980.
So my answer to you is: if this is what you want to do, now I was on the ground floor of what we call new media today.
Talk radio was the first real alternative to ABC, NBC, CBS, fake news, CNN, the New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, all these liberal newspapers.
And there was not an outlet for conservative voices.
And then Rush took it to this whole other level starting in 1988, which is a year after I started in radio.
I started in radio in 1987.
Once I got behind the microphone, that light went on.
It just changed my life.
I didn't want to do anything else.
I worked for free for a while.
My first paid job was $19,000 a year.
And I couldn't have been happier, to be honest with you.
Never thought I'd be successful at it.
Always thought I'd get fired at any given moment.
But I just stayed with it and worked hard and worked harder and worked harder.
I work harder now than I've ever worked.
So, you know, and then you have to be willing to take chances.
What I try to advise young people is find what you like to do because you don't want your job to be a job.
And then find a way to do what you like to do and make money at it.
That's it.
That's what I tell my own kids, and that's what I encourage them to do.
And so far, they've been pretty successful in their endeavors.
And I'm very proud of both of them.
And thank God, neither one of them wanted any part of media.
I'm glad.
One Hannity in the media is enough as far as I'm concerned.
So does that help you?
Yes, sir, it does.
And like I said, I really do appreciate you taking this call because, you know, I love conservative media.
I've been involved in listening to conservative media, such as you, Laura Ingram, Ingram Engel, Tucker Carlson, and others since COVID started.
And I've been really passionate about saving this country because I feel that I have a place in fixing this country one day.
Well, if that's what is in your heart, I would just encourage you to pursue it.
Look, I was on the ground floor.
New media started with talk radio and evolved into Fox News.
And the reason I think talk radio and Fox News are successful in large part, and we've gone through this, is we tell people, we give news information that the mainstream or legacy media mob will not give.
They never vetted Kamala Harris.
That's one example.
In recent days, I've gone through a whole list of examples where they were wrong and we were proven right because we take telling our audience the truth very seriously.
But that has now expanded.
It's gone from talk radio, which is still the biggest medium, the biggest format in radio, to Fox News, which is still a huge success.
And now it's spread out where anybody can start their own podcast or you can start on social media and begin to get a following.
And I would just say offer people something that they're not going to get anywhere else.
I mean, I notice a lot of people on social media, they'll just scream and yell a little bit louder than the next person and they get some attention, but I don't think that's the answer.
I think people are looking for alternative sources of smart information that they're not going to get elsewhere and presented in as entertaining a way as you can.
Does that sound good?
That sounds great.
And do you believe that independent media will one day take over what was cable news and before that talk radio?
No, I think it's all going to be part.
I think the people that will survive are going to be the people that are trusted to tell the truth.
That's what I think.
And people with big personalities and people that are not afraid to go there when others will not.
And I think where legacy media failed and died is that they became the shills for the Democratic Party, even when they were wrong.
And it's not only what they did report and the lies they did echo and tell, but also what they failed to report.
They didn't tell the country about the Harris Biden open border disaster, the biggest national security crisis in our country.
They didn't tell them how bad the economy was.
They went along with that inflation is transitory.
They didn't report on Kamala's radicalism the way we did by creating the Kamala files and the walls files.
So they kind of leave this lane open for us to do their job.
And now we know that America rejected legacy media like never before.
And even celebrity endorsements have died.
George Clooney, did he have any impact on this election?
Did Michael Moore?
Did Julia Roberts?
Did any of these radical, well-known left-wingers have any impact this election?
They did not.
Did they're screaming about Donald Trump being a Nazi and a racist and a fascist?
Did that get them far?
It did not.
The American people were very sophisticated because it was nine years of never-ending smear, slander, besmirchment.
So tell the truth is my last bit of advice, okay?
Okay, thank you so much, Sean.
God bless you.
I mean, God protect the United States.
All right, James, I appreciate it.
800-941-Sean.
Linda, you want to add to that advice?
Anything I missed?
Nope, boss.
You are the boss, and you know best.
Okay.
After that little gig you played yesterday.
You want me to save that?
What was the gig?
Save that in perpetuity to have ready to play for you?
Hold on a second.
We were talking about Mantis X, and we were talking about the contest we had, and you just flat out lied to this audience.
The opposite of what I just told James.
And you told the audience when we had a contest that you won, and you did not win that contest.
You didn't come close to winning that contest, although you did much better than I thought you would do.
On the Burna or the Mantis?
Oh, I'm sorry, Burner, not Mantis.
Yeah, Mantis, I'm working to get better, but I've whooped your ass in Burna.
It's fine.
You know, sometimes you just gotta, it's okay, you don't have to be the best of everything.
We have the videos.
You're lying.
Why is there one rule?
If you want to be successful immediately, what did I just tell James?
You've got to be able to tell the truth.
You said tell the truth.
Admit the truth.
And my truth is that I whooped your ass.
My truth is, but it's your truth.
It's not the real truth.
There's only one truth here.
When one of us won, it was me.
It wasn't you.
You're right, Sean.
I shouldn't break your stones like this.
You did win fair and square.
Okay, what happened?
I don't know.
Are you drinking the moonshine again?
No, listen, you know, some people hear homage.
Some people hear homage.
Homage.
Some people think they won.
Some other people think that other people won.
But do you still think you won, even though you lost?
I think that it was a close race.
How's that?
You did better.
I'm giving you props.
I thought it would be a disaster.
And then you did much better than I thought.
I was very proud of you.
Thank you, boss.
But you did lose.
Okay.
Okay, boss.
