So down on Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
That could only mean one thing on this radio program.
That is all things self-proclaimed simple man.
That means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
And please send me your contacts before you go on your big trip.
Yeah, I will.
So we're heading out tomorrow morning for Japan, China, and South Korea for nine days.
I'm not worried about Japan and South Korea, but if you get in trouble, find a way to get in touch with me.
And I'll go all the way up the chain as high as I can go.
I'll do everything in my power to help you.
Very nice offer.
I don't think I'm going to be in any trouble because I've been invited to speak to the government.
The Chinese TDS.
You'll be fine.
What are you going to teach him about the no-spin zone?
Is that what you're going to do?
They don't exactly have freedom of the press, Bill, as we've come to know it here.
Although we do know that we don't have as free a press as we once believed.
You know, I know you're trying to mock me, but it's an excellent question.
Wait, wait, wait.
I was not trying to mock you.
I really wasn't.
The no-spin zone.
I know what you're doing, Hannity.
Everybody knows.
But I can't walk in there with that kind of an attitude.
So I sent you, I said to Hannity, everybody should know listening.
I sent him the invitation that I received from the Chinese government in Beijing.
This event is a closed-door event at the Beijing Club.
They're giving me and my bodyguard, my son, a free dinner afterwards, two hours of QA, and I'll make some.
By the way, I can only imagine how much they're paying you for this.
You're not going over there for free.
No way.
I am.
I didn't turn down any kind of honorarium.
I don't want that.
The reason I got invited was because of my book, The United States of Trump.
And it's a hot book in Beijing because everybody over there wants to know what real Donald Trump is like.
All right.
What does he really like?
That's why they invited me.
So I've known him for 35 years, as have you.
And so I got to go in there.
But if you read the invitation and all the stuff that I sent you, it was very polite, very respectful.
And that's what they will be.
And my remarks are not going to be confrontational at all.
What I'm going to try to do is to convince these people.
And I do believe there's a fairly good chance that President Xi will be watching this on closed circuit.
I would not be surprised.
I'm glad you're going.
Listen, I just got back from these countries and Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and I was in Abu Dhabi in the UAE.
And I will tell you, it is imperative that we understand these other countries.
And we need to, you know, this mentality that we will change them is ridiculous.
However, it doesn't mean that we can't insist that they not be evil and that there is a possibility that you have mutually beneficial relationships with them, whether you agree with their mores, their values, their governmental system or not.
We've got to coexist in this world somehow without dropping nuclear weapons on each other.
And that's Trump's point of view.
And I'm going to bring that message to them.
What my main point is.
Do you want me to call in and address the crowd and say I can vouch for Bill O'Reilly?
I know you speak fluent Mandarin, so you can just in there.
But I'm going to try to convince the people who are listening to me.
And I'm also, it's a closed door, but they may release some of what I say.
If they do, I'll be able to get that tape to you.
Yeah, please do.
I'd like it.
I gave you one piece of private advice.
Do you want me to bring it public?
I did give you private advice.
No, you did.
And we already have set up about as much safeguards as we can have.
Well, that wasn't the private advice I gave you was a little bit different.
No, it's to assume to assume something is what it was.
I don't want you to tell the audience what it was, but it concerned the surveillance state.
So when you walk into a country like China or Russia or Iran or to autalitarian states, you're going to be surveilled.
And they're going to watch you and they're going to hack you and they're going to do it.
Well, they're going to see you in the shower, Bill.
I mean, that's all there is to it.
I mean, it's all going to be out there in the open.
We know that.
We know all of that.
But what I'm going to do, my central point is this.
I'm going to say, look, here's who Donald Trump is.
This is what he would like to do in the world before he leaves the second term.
This is what he wants to do.
And if China can help him do that, if you concur that that's positive, and I'll lay out Ukraine, I'll lay out all the tariffs, I'll lay it all out.
If you can find a way to have détente with what he wants, then China itself becomes more powerful and more respected in the world.
That's pretty much what I'm going to do.
I think that's actually a great approach.
And I look forward to a full report when you get back.
All right, let me move on to another topic because I think it is the fact that only now is it hitting critical mass.
You know, you might recall I was probably one of the first to identify Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
It wasn't really that hard to spot.
It was not as severe when he was running in 2020, but it was obvious to me.
He was not the same person that he had been even as vice president.
And I pointed it out.
And when I did, I was often excoriated and pounded on by left-wing media people and legacy media people and Democrats.
It goes with the territory.
I've got a thick skin.
I can handle it.
And now it has metastasized, and I don't say this lightly, into what I believe is the biggest cover-up, biggest scandal, one of them, certainly, in the history of presidential politics.
This man was not up to the job to be the president of the United States.
And we have everybody in the White House knew.
Everybody in his family knew.
Everybody in the media knew.
And there were only a few of us that were brave enough to tell the American people the truth.
And that's why I would argue that legacy media officially died November 5th.
Nobody cares what they say.
They don't trust them anymore, and they've earned that distrust.
You got into this last night, apparently, with Chris Cuomo.
Let me play a little bit of that tape.
Yeah, but he didn't make the policies.
He didn't make them.
That's when you're making your mistake.
He was a zombie from day one.
I've talked to him about his immigration policies.
They were all the same ideas.
You know, he believes that there's an openness to this country and that we need new blood.
And he was worried about the left flank.
Look, I don't have to agree with you.
You can yell at me.
Absurd.
It's an absurd contention when you have all the problems that developed.
It's absurd.
I agree that the position is a bad position.
I get it's a bad position.
I don't agree with you.
He had good days and a lot of bad days.
All right.
So you have this exchange, and you were right.
By the way, whenever you go full O'Reilly Barney Frank on somebody, that is a classic.
So we'll put that in the classic category.
But you are right.
But it is at a level, Bill, that is frightening.
Well, here it is.
They all knew.
They all lied.
They all covered up.
And now you have a couple of them trying to make money off it.
You bet.
It's outrageous.
But there's a new wrinkle here.
Number one, I want everybody to watch the interview that I did with Cuomo because there's some news here that people have overlooked.
The new mantra on the left and in the Democratic Party, this is brand new, and Cuomo debuted it last night, is that it doesn't matter whether Joe Biden knew he had prostate cancer while he was in the Oval Office.
That doesn't matter.
According to them, or when Chuck Schumer or any of these people are confronted over his cognitive decline, their answer is, we're looking forward.
Right, but Cuomo is putting out it doesn't matter because it matters.
And I said to him, the American people have a right to know about their president's physical and mental acuity.
They have a right to know it.
He denied that.
He denied it on the air.
He says, no, we don't have a right to know if a president has prostate cancer.
And I'm going, what?
And didn't you read Confronting the President where Edith Wilson ran the country for a year and a half after her husband Woodrow had a stroke and nobody knew it?
That is the most comparable example in history.
And you're telling me he was dead serious.
Chris Cuomo was dead serious.
He goes, I don't have a right to know if Joe Biden had prostate cancer because that's the scandal, Hannity.
The doctor, O'Connor, Colonel O'Connor, issued after his last physical in February of 2024 that Biden was in perfect health.
Perfect.
By the way, it is so fundamental and basic and rudimentary to get a PSA test.
I get one every year.
I'm sure you get a PSA every year.
And okay, I just had mine.
Everybody has a baseline.
Everyone's baseline is different.
Mine happens to be very low, 0.91, 1.1.
I have friends of mine that have a baseline that's higher, but it's their baseline.
And as long as it doesn't go up, there's usually no reason for concern.
The reason you follow it is because it's one of the most treatable cancers around.
He's not, this guy, according to his doctor, he didn't get a PSA test since 2014.
What do you call that?
Malpractice.
And what do you say about family members, Bill, that know you're in a cognitive decline, know that you're struggling mentally, and they don't put your best interests above their own personal political ambition.
What do you say about that?
Because I have a word in my mind that I think that comes immediately to my mind when I think about the people around him that knew and didn't love him enough to step in and stop it.
It's worse than that.
I don't know what the word is, but you could say treason or whatever, but it's worse than that.
I would say abuse, Bill.
That's elder abuse.
Okay, whatever it is.
Joe Biden, who had an enormous amount of power in that White House, and you'll see the books coming out about that.
Jill Biden and Ron Clain, who left in 23, but his acolytes took over, they were willing, Hannity, to go another four years with a guy, as I said, who was a zombie because they were running the country, not him.
And that's what this is all about.
This is a enormous deception for the American people.
Yet, you have an entire political party that is saying it's okay.
It's okay.
That'd be like the Republican Party in 1972 or three saying, hey, it's okay.
Richard Nixon knew about all of this break-in and sabotage.
It's all right.
He didn't have any duty to.
Can I tell you why it's deeper?
What?
Because he's the president of the United States of America.
Bill, we cannot have a cognitively compromised president.
It is a national security disaster.
But here's what worries me.
Almost 40 to 50% of Americans are still rabid Democrats.
Yeah, you're right.
You're right.
And just like Chris Cuomo, who I like and I have a very good relationship with, and we do very good television together, Cuomo really doesn't care.
He doesn't care about how Biden was performing, what his mental capacity and physical capacity was.

Bill O'Reilly's with us, all things BillO'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Well, let me ask this: when you watch Liberal Joe in March of 24, this is his best self.
He's never been more sharp than he is now.
I mean, just flat out lying to people.
By that point, everybody knew.
And don't think it was an accident that they had that early debate in June.
They did it.
It was a test run to see if he could handle the fall debates.
And if he faltered, they had a plan to remove him.
That's how corrupt you talk about a threat to democracy, Bill O'Reilly.
That's a threat to democracy.
I mean, once you have a point where an entire political party puts forth that the American people do not have a right to know what kind of condition the president of the United States is in, both physically and mentally, once you have an entire political party saying that and Americans accepting that, then we don't have a republic anymore.
And that's the danger.
And that's the scandal.
And it could be worse than Watergate.
I don't disagree at all.
I think you were on your A game.
Whenever you go full on Bill O'Reilly versus Barney Frank, it's a classic.
So, and it was a fair debate.
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.

What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word, one that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a Rosetta Stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Nayfak from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yes, that's right.
Lock her up.
Listen to Fiasco, Benghazi, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
You know, I'm having a hard time keeping up with the list of names that we, over the years, have been called by the left.
I mean, irredeemable deplorables.
We are bitter Americans that cling to their god guns, Bibles, and religion.
We have been called garbage people.
I mean, they took it to a whole new level by saying that we're Nazis and fascists and racist.
But you kind of, that's that's been standard fair now, every election cycle going on for decades.
And then, of course, all the other names: Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini.
You know, they just never run out of names.
And on top of it, we're just now not only garbage, but we're stupid.
Because Claire McCaskill, not exactly a genius in her own right, over on MSDNC, America was not smart enough to keep Trump out of the White House.
Now, here's the thing: oh, you're so much smarter.
Oh, you're so more.
If you're so smart, how come you couldn't figure out a way to convince the American people not to vote for Donald Trump?
Just saying.
Let's play it.
America, I believe, clearly was not smart enough to keep this guy from the White House.
He is causing confusion and uncertainty in a segment of our economy that desperately needs certainty.
And by doing that, he is going to get higher prices, and that's when America will finally get smart.
But they're not smart now because most of them are trying not to pay attention.
Oh, unbelievable.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
800-941 Sean is on number George in Florida.
George, how are you?
Where do you live in Florida?
Hey, Sean, how's it doing?
I was in DeLand, Florida, between Daytona and Orlando, Long Eye 4.
How are you doing, my friend?
I'm good.
Well, listen, if you'd like, we have two events coming up, June 28th and June 29th.
June 28th is in Clearwater, Florida, and it's going to be Punchlines and Patriots.
It's me and Jimmy Phela, and it's going to be a lot of fun.
It's at Ruth Eckert Hall.
And if you'd want to go to that event, or you can go the next night, Sunday, June 29th, it's at 7 p.m. both nights.
And that's the Broward Center for Performing Arts.
I'll give you and your wife or your significant other two tickets, and you could be my guest at either one.
Which one would you like to go to?
Clearwater or Fort Lauderdale, Fort Lauderdale, I can say it.
Okay.
Well, then the Clearwater.
That's closer.
It's about two hours.
And yeah, my wife Tracy and I would love to go.
We'd love to have you.
And by the way, there are limited tickets left if people want to go.
You just literally just go.
Where do you go?
We have it online.
We have it at Hannity.com.
Okay.
All right.
Appreciate that, my friend.
I'm Yola.
So stay on the line before you don't just hang up at the end of the call.
You know, Sean, I just have to remind you: I think this is the same George we gave dinner to.
George, you're making out every time you call the Hannity show.
No, I might have to go get a steak with some white pepper, Linda.
Oh, my man.
See, that is a true listener if he knows the white pepper joke.
Well, can I ask a question?
Well, how do you get through?
Because all I hear from people is I've been trying for years.
It's dedication, Sean.
These are people that are dedicated to you.
They love you.
They call all the time.
And George is one of them.
We just have to do that.
But here's the thing as well.
There is a way to get through.
And I don't want to give it away because then everybody will be using it.
There are people that are regular three-hour day listeners.
They know when I'm more likely to take calls.
They know the first hour is usually a news hour.
Although I think I might occasionally mix that up just to throw people off.
But anyway, we'll see you in Clearwater.
I don't care if I bought you dinner.
I'm glad I did.
And I look forward to seeing you.
This is going to be a very, very, very special event.
Jimmy Phela is hilarious.
I might surprise you.
You, I can occasionally be funny, and we're gonna, it's just a great opportunity for great Americans to get together, have fun, celebrate freedom and fun.
And it's also gonna be taped for Fox Nation.
So I'm looking forward to that too.
All right.
Well, that's great.
Hope you get to stick around and they can see you face to face one of these times on the phone.
So I appreciate that.
I believe I'm doing a meet and greet on both the locations.
I think that's part of the itinerary.
I'll get Jimmy Phala on tomorrow.
He'll tell us.
Okay, I appreciate that.
Hey, I know I said I've been on a while a few times, and I always keep on bringing up Rush Limbaugh because I think he's just one of the greatest.
But his words are so wise today.
You know, he's told us that there's far less media.
Basically, their relationship, they have an incestuous relationship with Washington and the media in Hollywood.
And nothing could be close to the truth as today is because my wife and I were watching the other night talking about President Biden and his medical stuff from the people while he was running or when he was running for president.
And it's just like the episode, Sean, from NBC's The West Wing about 20 years ago.
I don't know if you remember The West Wing.
Maybe Linda might remember.
I remember the show.
I never really was a regular viewer of it.
I don't have time to watch a lot of TV.
Well, President Bartlett was hiding that he had MS. He was diagnosed with MS, and only a few people when he was running and when he was president knew about it.
And he had his wife, which is like Rizzo from Greece, and she was a physician.
She became his private physician, and he was impaired during the presidency.
And it was a big scandal in this movie, on this West Wing.
And it's like, my wife and I was like, this is an episode of West Wing.
Biden and his administration and Stapate, they probably used a template from the West Wing to pull the roll over most people who weren't paying attention.
Let me tell you something.
Every single solitary person, every one of them, every person knew in this country that has eyes to see.
The only people that were blinded were, look, Rush used to say, he drive by media, you know, and he's, and he'd go into his thing.
And Rush was always right about that.
And I call it the state-run legacy media mob because they have a mob mindset, a mind, a mob mentality.
They regurgitate the same talking points, and they just flat-out lie.
Now, there's a reason I said in 2007 journalism is dead because it was.
And there's a reason I'm saying now that the legacy media is dead.
And in part, you could look at their lying about Joe Biden as a big part of it, and they're lying about Donald Trump as a big part of it.
And it's what they choose to cover, it's what they choose not to cover that contributes to the lack of trust of the American people.
And they have earned this distrust.
They have completely earned it.
They own it.
They earned it.
They deserve whatever comes their way.
I'll say that.
All right, stay on the line, my friend.
We'll see you in Clearwater.
If you want to come to Clearwater or Fort Lauderdale, you can get tickets.
Punchlines and Patriots.
Meet Jimmy Phala, June 28th and 29th, Hannity.com.
All my social media for details.
And I look forward to seeing so many of you there.
Let's go to Kevin.
He's in upstate New York.
What's up, Kevin?
How are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Doing well, Sean.
I just wanted to share my experience with prostate cancer with you.
And I'm 71 years old, and I have an annual physical dud each and every year.
And over the past three years, we've been watching my PSA level.
And normal PSA is anywhere between zero and four.
So, but the increase this past November, when I had my physical done, it jumped two points.
So now it's at 7.1.
And my doctor, a local guy, he says, you know, I need to get you to see a urologist.
And that's the only flag or marker that we have as males, is our PSA.
So he gets me.
And by the way, anyone that gets a blood test, it's all part of your blood work.
I mean, they had to purposely not get it for Joe Biden because I'm sure they drew blood on him.
As a matter of fact, without giving away too many details, I know they draw blood on every president on a fairly regular basis.
That's all I'm going to say.
Absolutely.
You know, and that's part of, here again, that's part of my routine physical.
So the minute that that marker went up, we get in touch with the urologist and I went up and I had a CT scan done.
And about a half an hour after the CT scan was over with, my wife and I were on the way back home and I got a call and they said, yes, there's a lesion there on your prostate.
And I said, okay, lesion, what does that mean?
And they said, well, the chances are that there's probably cancer there.
And we'd already decided ahead of time, even though you have a scan done, the only true way to find out what the cancer is really all about is to have a biopsy diet.
I had one of those biopsies, by the way.
And thankfully it was negative, but I, but I, it's, by the way, you know, that is not a pleasant test.
Absolutely not.
The only person that can really identify with that is anybody that's had one.
It is not a pleasant test.
I don't recommend it, but you have to have it done.
So, you know, out of the 12 snippets that they took, 10 were benign and two showed a carcinoma.
So in my case, there were 13 needles.
They take 13 areas.
They grab tissue and they basically, it sounds like that.
They take tissue from the areas in your prostate and then they test it.
And in your case, it was in two specific areas, but they got it early, right?
They got it early.
And the success rate on this is probably 90 to 95% if you catch it early.
So, you know, the next step, and then after that, was then I had to get on a medication.
And what they were trying to do at that point in time is they want to eliminate all the testosterone in my body.
And they want to see that PSA level drop.
So over the last four weeks, five weeks, and I have blood drawn every two weeks now.
That PSA level has gone from 7.1 down to 0.51.
So it's basically at zero or as close to zero as you could possibly get at this point in time.
Why would they assume that removing testosterone from your body somehow is going to kill off the cancer cells that they know exist in your body?
That's not a treatment I've ever heard.
Now, I know they use radiological seeds.
I know they use emulsion.
I know that there are a whole variety of new medicines that are available for it, et cetera.
You know, the key is, is you want to keep it isolated in the prostate.
You don't want it to metastasize and spread outside the prostate.
That's the key.
Right.
And what testosterone does is it feeds cancer cells.
So they feed off of that.
So when they eliminate that testosterone, then they get the PSA level down.
And they do that through a hormone shot that I'll probably have to be on for the next two years.
And it's an every three-month shot.
But that's where they want to keep that.
Does it make you feel much different?
I'm not trying to be personal here.
No, Sean, like people come up to me all the time.
I go, how you feel?
And they said, I don't feel any different now than I did before I found out I had cancer.
I said, that's the thing.
I've had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever to indicate that I've got any kind of an issue or a problem.
Well, our prayers are with you.
I'm glad you got an early diagnosis.
It sounds like you're in good hands.
And I would urge everybody, you got to get an annual physical.
Everyone has to get an annual physical.
Look, we're all going to die at some point.
We are.
But with that said, modern medicine can keep us alive longer.
Early detection can.
So you're a good example, Kevin.
God bless you, my friend.
All right, quick break.
Right back.

Michael Virginia, you're next on the Sean Hannity show, but we only have about 90 seconds.
It's all yours, sir.
Go.
Thank you, Mark.
And I've been watching you since Alan Combs days on TV.
Did you just call me Mark?
My name is Sean, but I appreciate.
Don't worry about it.
It's fine.
No, Sean.
I've been listening to you since you were on with Alan Combs on TV.
Thank you.
I'm calling you from Oceania Jet Base in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
And I want you to put the same amount of effort on this issue of the new big, beautiful bill, one.
And two, please put your clock back up and tell them over and over how long it is before the midterms.
Oh, please, Sean, you do such a great job with that.
Let's get this bill passed.
I know that it had some hiccups today.
I know I believe we're going to get there and let them fight it out a little bit.
I think the president's going to be twisting arms.
I think it's going to get done.
And if we hit real roadblocks, I promise tomorrow on the show, I'll be giving out phone numbers.
I'm giving them as much time as possible to work behind the scenes, be adults, and work for the American people.
Michael, I will do that.
Great advice, by the way, counting down to the midterms.
We cannot let Democrats get power back.
If they do, it's going to be an impeachment after an impeachment after impeachment.
It would be a disaster.

We got you.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco Benghazi.
