All right, Leonard Skinner, it's Simple Man, and that can only mean one thing on this radio program, and that is all things self-proclaimed, Simple Man.
That means all things Bill O'Reilly.
All things Bill O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, I'm going to be very gentle with you today because I know you're hurting.
I know you're upset.
I know you're down in the dumps, borderline depression over the news that Rosie O'Donnell has now moved to Ireland.
I know this is killing you.
I knew you were going to lead with that.
You know, the audience asked me.
We don't ever discuss that, which makes the conversation a lot better.
But I knew you were going to ask me about Rosie O'Donnell.
I knew it.
How did you know?
I mean, I didn't tell you.
You know, and this is frightening.
I'm starting to think like you.
But you know what?
We have a name for that.
That means you've been hanitized.
Yeah, I mean, I'm going to have to go to a doctor.
Maybe our vaccine for that.
I'm not sure.
You don't need a vaccine, Bill.
It just means that you're embracing your common sense side.
And I will say you're becoming a little more politically active than maybe you have been earlier in your career, which I actually applaud.
This was the first presidential election that you told your audience who you were going to vote for.
I think that is huge progress.
And I think that I think it was obvious in past years where I thought I knew you were going to vote, but you decided that you felt you wanted to stay a little bit closer to the journalism objective line than I do.
I am a talk show host, a member of the press, and I've explained my role.
Let me ask you this.
I think this is really important.
I don't like bullying.
And I don't think you like bullying either, do you?
When I was teaching high school, I led a campaign against it.
Okay.
And I know you did.
I don't like it.
I can't stand it.
And I look at Elon Musk as a guy that has given up a lot for our country.
He helped the people out in North Carolina after Hurricane Helene.
They had no contact with the outside world.
He helped people in Tennessee.
He helped people in California after the wildfires.
He's about to go, hopefully, successfully, I pray it's successful, rescue two astronauts that were abandoned in space by Joe and Kamala.
He is developing the possibility that with artificial intelligence, that he might be able to help the blind be able to see and people with spinal cord injuries be able to walk again.
This is the type of mind.
He wants to send people to Mars.
We see, I just don't like it.
So I know I'm not, this is a gesture on my part.
And we're announcing probably tomorrow a contest on this program.
And I'm going to buy and give away a Tesla on this show to a lucky winner.
And I bought one for myself.
I'm actually really impressed with this car.
And it's called the S-Plaid.
It goes from 0 to 60 in 2.0 seconds.
It has a range of nearly 400 miles.
It has over 1,000 horsepower.
It is a rocket.
And you know, I love fast cars and freedom.
And I bought it as a gesture because I feel like people are hurting him.
And he's done nothing but eliminate waste, fraud, and abuse.
And they don't like him just for political reasons.
And they have unfairly smeared, slandered, besmirched him.
And I don't like bullies.
And I feel like they're bullying a guy that is helping his country.
Am I wrong?
Well, it's hard to bully the richest man in the world, but you know what?
It's not that hard, Bill.
I mean, they're turning him out to be Satan.
They're blowing up his charging stations.
They're attacking his dealerships.
I wouldn't say it's bullying.
It's basically trying to hurt him.
And you and I have been dealing with that for 30 years.
So not new.
Mush should have anticipated it.
If you're going to ally yourself with Donald Trump, the left is going to attack you and try to hurt you.
And if you allied yourself with Barack Obama, some on the right would do the same thing, to be fair.
I don't think I ever tried to hurt anybody that was associated with Barack Obama.
I just vehemently disagreed with him, and I pointed out the truth of who he was and his radical views.
You didn't, but others did.
Other conservative people tried to hurt people who would, and I can prove it because I helped Barack Obama with the Brothers Keepers program, getting back to bullying, which is mentoring inner city youth.
And I got attacked for that on the right.
So I know I've been both sides, but the far left is worse than anything I've ever seen in this entire country, not just now.
I mean, the viciousness of the tribalism that is going on in the far left precincts is unprecedented, even at Civil War levels, because at Civil War levels, you were dealing with an uneducated population largely who really didn't know what they were doing.
They were sticking up for a heinous institution, slavery.
But now you're dealing with people who calculate how to destroy human beings who they disagree with.
And there's a variety of ways to do it.
So that all goes back into my analysis of the Trump administration.
I did not want to give any more power to the progressive movement.
Therefore, I openly told my audience, these people are interested, these progressive people do not believe that America is a noble nation.
They do not believe in freedom of speech.
They do not believe in capitalism, all of which is true.
And so I can't, I can't remain at of this.
I got to tell you why I'm voting for Trump.
And I did.
Now, Musk, I don't know him.
I met him once.
I think his presentation needs work.
He comes in very flamboyant, and that's the kind of guy he is.
But he's not in a flamboyant area now.
He's in a public policy area, public administration area.
And I think he needs to get somebody, an expert in this, to tell him how to present what he finds.
I support cutting wasteful spending.
We have to do it.
And I am appalled.
In fact, I'm writing a column right now that'll appear tomorrow morning on billorilly.com.
Why would any American want wasteful government spending?
Why?
They don't.
It is poll after poll after poll.
It's an 80-plus, you know, 80-20 issue, 80-plus whatever issue.
Musk, who is trying to root out the wasteful spending.
Why?
For what reason?
So my question is a little bit different.
And you're asking the right question, but I'm going to ask it differently.
You know, what has he done to garner this much hatred that he's now receiving regular death threats and acts?
I would argue these are acts of domestic terrorism against his dealerships and his charging stations.
And there is a concerted effort.
I've never supported a boycott in my entire life.
Now, I know you have.
We've differed on this a little bit, but not much.
You've done it occasionally when you felt it was warranted.
And I support your right to do that.
But I've never supported a boycott.
I don't call for cancellations of shows.
I don't call for people to be fired.
I don't do it.
I never have.
And I know that this is symbolic.
I can't save Tesla.
I'm very, I love the car.
I don't like it.
I love it.
You know, I like fast cars and freedom.
You know, the other car that I have.
And so the bottom line is, is I just feel that it's so wrong what they're doing to hurt him.
And why?
Why do they hate him, want to threaten his life?
He's got children.
You know, why acts of domestic terrorism, Bill?
This is sick.
Sure.
And it should be called out.
But I'll tell you why they hate him so much.
It's the Bernie Sanders syndrome.
So the progressive left believes that the Trump administration is in business to make billionaires richer.
That's where you start.
And Sanders and Warren and Elcasio-Cortez, over and over and over, Trump wants to make billionaires richer.
He wants to screw poor people.
How many times have you heard that, Hannity?
A thousand times?
Okay.
But fortunately, the evidence is to the contrary, Bill, in his first term.
Wealth went up dramatically for lower middle class Americans.
He created record numbers of jobs for every demographic, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, African-American youth unemployment.
I mean, he shattered records.
But that doesn't matter because it's not propaganda.
So the far less propaganda is all the people get hosed because the oligarchy represented by Trump and Musk wants all the money and they don't want to give any of you.
And of a certain percentage of the population, maybe 20% is going to believe that.
And those are the 20% that want to hurt Musk.
So it's a logical progression.
And it makes no sense if you are a sane person.
But these people who want to hurt you because they disagree with you are not sane.
They're emotionally disturbing.
We both have had to deal with instances that we don't talk about publicly in the course of our careers.
Nothing is as nothing at the level that Musk has had to deal with, and nothing at the level that Trump has had to deal with.
Right.
And the Trump-Musk alliance is what's driving the threats on Elon.
If Elon Musk were just running around saying that he believes X, Y, and Z, then, yeah, they would like it, but they wouldn't be trying to kill him.
But because he's enhancing the Trump administration by uncovering all this corruption in the federal apparatus, now Elon Musk becomes dangerous and he has to be eliminated.
And that's what geez.
I mean, just you saying that kind of gives me chills, Bill.
It really does.
It scares me for him.
I mean, I've got to imagine he has security.
If he doesn't, I pray to God he gets it.
Well, we're living in a scary time.
The polarization and tribalism in this country is unprecedented.
We got to get away from this tribalism.
We've got to get away from this hatred.
And that's what Elon Musk is experiencing.
All right, quick break.
We'll come right back more with All Things Simple Man Bill O'Reilly, allthingsO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.

All right, we continue now.
All things simple man Bill O'Reilly, allthings O'Reilly of BillO'Reilly.com.
I honestly am worried about the president.
I feel like we didn't get the truth about what happened in Butler.
You know, when Kimberly Cheadle, the head of the Secret Service, said, Well, it was a sloped roof.
You know my story.
You know, I fell off a real sloped roof, a pitched roof.
I know what a pitched roof is.
I could, in the wintertime, I could literally, you know, cover that with water and let it freeze and ice skate on it.
It was so not pitched and it wasn't sloped.
That was just a lie.
What happened at Trump International in Palm Beach?
It's a known area where paparazzi hang out because the number of holes are surrounded by these high trees and it wasn't swept.
It was a massive failure.
And now we're told we have Iranian hit squads in the country, which I'm sure would love to get you and me also.
Again, we live in a very, very troubled time.
I'm not so concerned about myself.
I am concerned that Americans are not speaking out against it enough.
I think they'll be.
They're praising it.
They're out there defending this Hamas guy at Columbia.
I know.
And I wrote a message of the day on billorilly.com about that today, this Khalil guy.
But I think that we can fight against it because I believe, and I think you believe this too, that most Americans are not like this.
The problem is that the press exploits this.
One other big addendum to that is Kamala and Joe let in 14 million unvetted people, including terrorists, gang members, cartel members, murderers, and rapists.
Crazy.
It was just.
Well, I think it's the worst policy, single policy I have ever seen any president initiate.
And you know I wrote running the presidents.
I can't think of one policy worse than the open border Biden situation.
It's a national security disaster, and cleaning it up is going to be a disaster.
All right, last question.
Are you going to, when we put the contest to win the Tesla on Hannity.com, are you going to sign up?
Sure.
I mean, if you're going to give me a Tesla, you should just give me one.
I don't need the content.
I'll think about it, Bill.
I'll take it under consideration.
All right.
Let's pray for our country and the end of violence for crying out loud.
Can we not agree that we got to stop robbing from our children and grandchildren?
Good grief.
Bill O'Reilly, all things O'Reilly, BillO'Reilly.com.
We always appreciate you, Bill.
Thank you, sir.
Appreciate it.
Thanks for having me.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.

It is amazing the reaction we continue to get when I mentioned that after having an appearance with our friend Stephen A. Smith, he'll be on Hannity tonight, about, you know, the views saying I had said, well, they don't invite me on anymore.
And I didn't want to get invited on or expect to be invited on.
Then they invited me on.
And then I really, I just, if I didn't think it was a waste of time, I'd consider it.
And then we did a poll and it's 50-50.
It's pretty funny.
Rosie O'Donnell, the last time I was on the view, didn't particularly go well.
She wouldn't shut up.
And it was like a knockdown drag out fight between me and her.
Poor Barbara Walters couldn't stop it.
And here's how that went out.
I have more liberals on my radio and TV show than anybody else out there.
Rosie, you are invited on my radio and TV show anytime you want to come.
I'd love to come.
I don't have a job.
But you have a very clear position.
I think Condoleezza Rice is a strong viable possibility for the close-up of me, please.
Get a close-up of my face.
Are you okay?
That's what I would think of a Condoleezza Rice nominee.
My match on, don't you see the picture?
Where's the evidence?
Apple Garrett was blowing!
There was underwear on the head of one of the people.
We're not raping and killing anybody.
I think you're delusional.
It just disintegrated from there.
Linda, you remember that time?
Crazy.
It's so funny because we went to pull the cut, and I was like, 16 years ago?
Oh, my God.
I know.
I've stayed away from 16 years.
Why would I want to go back?
And they called me cute and everything.
I mean, they seem to really, I mean, what's interesting is that.
It started out fine.
It literally spiraled down very, very quickly.
But that's how it always is when you talk to liberals, right?
Pretty much.
Pretty much.
Here's Rosie making her announcement.
She has left the United States.
My attitude is don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
And it's beautiful and warm.
Not physically.
It's actually quite cold.
Moved here on January 15th, and it's been pretty wonderful.
And when, you know, it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America, that's when we will consider coming back.
It's been heartbreaking to see what's happening politically and hard for me personally as well.
Wow.
Anyway, I actually see we have callers that want to still talk about this.
Okay, John in South Carolina, say hi to Troy in Ohio.
Troy in Ohio, say hi to John in South Carolina.
Welcome both of you.
John, we'll start with you.
Yes, great, Sean.
You've got so many great listeners here, and they're sympathetic that we want to convert every single person, put you on the view, and tell everybody.
But you've got so much goodness and so much popularity.
I don't want to strengthen them there.
You know, I mean, it's funny.
I had a conversation with somebody because I guess, what's his name?
Gavin Newsom is now inviting conservatives on his program.
And I guess he had on so far the list of, he had Charlie Kirk on.
I did listen to a little of that.
I saw a mediaite.
I guess Michael Savage was on.
And I hear Steve Bannon's going on.
And I'm like, I think he's trying to mainstream himself.
And I'm beginning to think that conservatives ought not help him because I don't think Gavin really wants answers.
And, you know, there was a pretty funny story about Gavin out there today about how he actually paid for like a monument of himself.
And then he wasn't transparent about it, which is pretty funny.
So you vote no.
Troy in Ohio, what do you vote?
Sean, don't do it.
It is the view, not an alternate view.
It is their view only.
I used to feel sorry when I would see people like Elizabeth Hasselback, who's, you know, and Megan McCain.
I mean, they wouldn't let them talk.
I mean, they just degraded them.
And I felt it became insufferable.
It was painful to watch it.
And now the show's on Watch a Bull.
And my friend Harris Faulkner has better ratings than The View does.
And I'm happy for her because she does a much better show.
And then she does outnumbered on top of it, which is another hit show on Fox.
They'll talk to you, not with you.
And there's no need to placate Rosie for her return to the U.S. either.
She can stay in Ireland.
She can stay in Ireland.
That's fine.
He can go to the pubs.
Have a good time.
All right, guys.
Appreciate it.
John and Troy, 800.
Did you hear that, Linda?
That's two no votes.
I guess that's a no.
See now here, I got to tell you.
This issue's over.
It's not over until it's over.
It's over.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Until Rosie sings.
So let's have Rosie sing, right?
And I really think what would be amazing is Ethan's beautiful idea of doing a live broadcast.
You could stay in your sunny state of Florida at Mar-a-Lago or, you know, a place of your choosing, but a Mar-a-Largo.
Let's see if they can, you know, enter the den of the man they despise.
And I think it would be a lot of fun, you know?
It's certainly beautiful.
I think that would be a hard no President Trump.
Do you know, listen, they're desperate wants them at his house.
That's like desperate for ratings.
And he's the first question he's going to ask.
Why would you bother helping them?
Listen, we could do it in the parking lot, whatever.
We'll just get them there.
It'll be great.
Just probably be the most viewed show they've had in years.
Do the YMCA dance.
That's all I want to see.
With you.
I would like to have a solid no vote on that.
Thank you.
Let's get to Mark in St. Louis.
Hey, Mark, how are you?
Sean, I'm great.
How are you today?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Oh, it's just talk about Elon Musk.
I'm not really concerned about him.
I mean, anybody can get God, I guess, but he's so smart and such a team builder.
If he hires enough investigators and, you know, really digs in, he might find the source of these agitators.
You know, maybe they're organized.
I don't know.
They may be.
I just, I don't like the death threats.
To me, what they're doing to his facilities are acts of terrorism and intimidation.
And he's got a lot of kids.
And I just, I find it, what has the man done to deserve that kind of hatred?
Now, I'll be honest.
I'm way more political than he is.
He's just cutting waste fraud and abuse, saving astronauts and donating Starlink to anybody that needs it when they're in trouble.
What has he done to garner hatred?
He's building electric cars.
By the way, I had no idea how great this car was.
None.
My friends were telling me how great it was.
You know what has auto-drive?
You just put in your destination and you don't have to do a thing.
It drives you back and forth wherever you're going.
How cool is that?
Yeah, no doubt.
No doubt.
But, you know, he'll figure all this out.
And Pam Bondi, if there's crimes involved, she'll get to them.
It's sad that there's so much hatred in this country.
I just don't want anything to happen to the guy.
All he's doing is liking Donald Trump and saving us money.
What else has he done in saving astronauts?
Tell me why I should hate him.
Yeah, there's no way.
Well, hatred is an un-American trend.
I'm totally against it, obviously.
And with that in mind, the view, my knee jerk was, yeah, go for it.
You know, the world, another opportunity to listen to you, but they don't need the ratings, and you don't need the grief, my friend.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not worried about me in the grief part.
I will tell you, though, Ethan is right.
It would be an event if I did it.
And if we got them all to come down to the free state of Florida and did it at Mar-a-Lago, that would be epic.
But why would I want to help them?
Because that's ultimately what's going to happen.
I can't watch him for a second.
And Joy Behar would melt.
It'd be like, I'm melting.
I'm melting.
She wouldn't be able to handle it.
She'd be so triggered.
Yeah.
All right.
Appreciate it, Mark.
God bless you, man.
I have an idea for Mar-a-Lago, and I have an idea of how Rosie would be happy and might even.
Did I ask you if I didn't ask me?
I'm giving it to you unsolicited.
You're welcome.
This is free advice.
Nothing comes free anymore.
So here you go.
I think what would be lovely is whoever comes down for the Mar-a-Lago, not only will you sit on the set with them, but you will cook them a lovely meal with your Chef IQ.
Guaranteed to be to the temperature and doneness of their liking.
I mean, what woman would say no to that?
You could do it on set.
You do raise a good point.
And it's my favorite of clients.
It's completely wireless.
It's a cooking thermometer, and it eliminates any chance that you can under or overcook your food, no matter how you cook your food.
Have you tried yours yet?
You can put it in a deep fryer, grill it, roast it, bake it, broil it, whether you're cooking chicken or your fish or your steak or your burgers or your pork chops or your pork ribs.
I mean, I use it every day.
I love it.
You just put a little wireless probe in your food.
You go to the Chef IQ app, and it'll tell you when to turn your meat over, and it'll tell you when it's done to your desired level of doneness.
It is amazing technology.
It's very inexpensive.
And while we're talking about it, chefiq.com.
And if you mention my name, Hannity, you get 15% off there already low price.
ChefIQ.com.
And you're going to love it.
All right, quick break, right back.
More, your calls coming up.
Toll-free.
Our number is 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, James Comer at the top of the hour as we continue.
Transmitting to over 700 radio stations.
Wow, wow.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
Chris and Maryland, Chris, how are you?
Good.
How are you, Sean?
Love the show, man.
Thank you.
I'm glad you're out there.
What's going on?
Yeah, hey, two comments.
One is about tariffs.
I think we just need to tell people it's short-term pain for long-term gain.
I mean, really, that's what Trump's communicating, and that's what I'm believing him for.
So I like that slogan for that, you know?
I like it too.
But I don't even think it's going to be a lot of short-term pain.
And I'll tell you why.
I mean, we saw it with this guy in Ontario.
Once this started to become real, and Trump said he's going to double everything on them, he backed down.
What Donald Trump is doing is what he, it's like when he let Zelensky leave the White House.
Zelensky, I can give you the whole backstory.
Zelensky did not want to leave the White House after the meltdown in the Oval Office.
Trump insisted that he leave.
And then he was calling, asking repeatedly if he could come back, and they said no.
Okay.
And then he got back to Ukraine and it did not go over well with the people in Ukraine.
And then he went public.
And basically, he said everything that the president wanted him to say.
And that culminated 11 days later in him agreeing to a 30-day ceasefire.
Now, the president addressed this today in a gaggle at the White House with the Prime Minister of Ireland.
You know, I'm friends in Ireland.
They adopted Rosie O'Donnell.
What are they thinking?
But anyway, so I can tell you that, you know, now we have a chance.
The ball is going to be in Vladimir Putin's court.
If anybody can convince him to do it, I think it will be Donald Trump.
It's not going to be the perfect deal, but it will eliminate the death, the dying, and the destruction.
And, you know, blessed are the peacemakers.
They'll inherit the earth.
I hope he's able to pull it off there.
I hope we can pull off some peace in the Middle East.
I think it's going to be more difficult there because of all the radicalism and then the Iranians being on the verge of getting nuclear weapons.
I think that issue, the Iranians are not going to want to negotiate with Donald Trump.
And I think there's going to be one option left on the table, and that is to take out their nuclear sites and their refineries so they can't build up their war machine again.
And then they will be bankrupt and probably deposed.
And, you know, they'll be following Assad out the door with probably billions of dollars.
And maybe we'll have regime change, a positive regime.
You never know when you have regime change what's going to happen.
Sometimes you get worse people.
Siri is an example.
Maybe it's getting worse than Assad right now because they're killing Christians and other minorities.
Can I say one more thing on the food babe from yesterday?
Yes, sir.
Yeah.
She posed the question: why are they poisoning Americans with all these dyes and different ingredients?
And check these stats out.
We're 4% of the world population, but we consume more than 50% of the total prescription drugs.
So think about that one right there.
It's all true.
I mean, look, I don't want to sound like I'm becoming a health nut, but I'm trying to learn.
I'm a big believer now in this longevity, the science of longevity.
And I have a lot of steps to take before I really get to where I need to be.
And I've made the first step.
I'm at the weight that I want to be at.
That was hard for me going back like three years ago.
The second thing is I'm improving my eating habits.
I work out regularly, but I've got a lot more I've got to do.
And I'm just trying to learn from people like Jillian Michaels and Gary Brecker and Mysense and the food babe.
I'm just listening to them and RFK Jr.
And if it makes sense to me, I listen.
Certainly listening to the government over the COVID shot was not a good idea.
I can't believe they lied on such a spectacular level to us.
Can you?
Oh my gosh, no, that was horrible.
I got RFK Jr.'s book about Anthony Fauci on that very thing, the real Anthony Fauci.
We know from emails that we discovered that they suspected very early on that this was American taxpayer dollars from the NIH funneled through the EcoHealth Alliance that went to the Wuhan Virology Lab, where they knew damn well that gain of function research and coronavirus research took place.
And then they purposely wanted to hide that from the American people.
And then they lied about the vaccine that was experimental.
If you take the shot, you're not going to get COVID and you're not going to be able to transmit it to others.
They lied and they lied and they lied.
And then they suppressed other alternative health information on social media.
Anyway, my friend, good call.
800-940.
Don't trust the government.
I'm just telling you.
I don't trust government.
I'm not looking at the government to be the savior of my life.
Try and be as independent as you can be.
My best advice to people.
And if saving money means you're going to have to work another job, I urge everyone to work another job.
I've worked two jobs my entire adult life and I don't want to work less than I'm now doing a third.
I just keep going.
