Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man, that can only mean one thing on this uh radio program.
That's all things self-proclaimed simple man that means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly of Bill O'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
You know, uh I'm okay.
Um what does that mean you're just okay?
The world's a safer place, you gotta admit.
Uh but before we get there, I have to go back to last week.
Last week, Wednesday, we your regular hit on this program, which uh which is your favorite favorite time of the week.
And I told you last week that when you we reconvened this week, what did I tell you would have occurred in the interim?
Uh you were right about the bombing in Iran.
I said Iran will not have nuclear capability this time next week.
Did I not say that?
You did.
You nailed it uh a hundred percent.
You you you see, you should take you should take notes every week, every day, and then you can put it on quote the factor, and uh it'll help you, you know, help inform the folks.
You know, I'm I'm being a jerk.
Just tell me I'm a jerk and we'll move on.
No, your generosity is stunning, and and I can use all the help I can get on my many successful ventures.
There you there you go.
All right, now we're both being egotistical.
Uh anyway, um I believe the world is a safer place.
Uh it is idiotic, and and I can give you verse and and and chapter, I won't waste your time, but the overwhelming use of force here and the precision and the the sheer courage and the professionalism of our military and the president's decision, all these past presidents, oh Iran can't have nuclear weapons, Iran can't have nuclear weapons, and Donald Trump actually did something about it.
Um and what's even more remarkable is uh, you know, the combination of what Israel was able to accomplish.
We did the heavy lifting on on these three nuclear sites, and the a more astonishing part of it is at least for the time being, a temporary ceasefire.
Uh that is something I never would have, you know, predicted.
Um it is a positive development for the world.
Um, and then if you don't believe that, I want to hear your point of view.
There are two things that really bother me about this.
All right, so if you're opposed to Donald Trump's order to take out the uh nuclear facilities of a terror nation, what's your plan B?
Are you willing to uh just let it go?
So I had Eric Bowling on the Nosper News last night, you know, our former Fox colleague.
And he know Eric Well, we've been friends for years.
No well.
Yeah, he's a kind of a quasi-isolationist.
And I was basically saying to him, look, um, if you don't want to get involved with uh Iran or Ukraine, then we're gonna have uh worldwide chaos.
That means Taiwan's gonna go, means China will expand all over the place, Putin will go to Moldova, on and on and on.
Are you willing to accept that?
And you know, he has a little bit, and and bowling smart guy is a good guest, but that's a simple question.
And if you're isolationist, you you need to answer that question.
But I wanna I want to get into you uh with something I think you may have missed, Hannah.
Can I add one thing to this and then you can hit on what I might have missed?
And and that is there and I'm not talking about Eric at all.
I I never have a bad word to say, and I I totally accept that there is within the conservative movement, the MAGA movement, but the MAGA movement is really defined by one man, and and that's President Trump.
But there's been some that uh are interpreting him no forever wars as being isolationism, and they're perfectly, you know, uh uh anyone can have any opinion they want, and I'm open to free and open discussion and an exchange of ideas and opinions.
Some have taken it personally, I haven't.
I don't go there.
Uh it's a waste of my time.
But the reality is they are not they're forgetting the history of Donald Trump.
This is Donald Trump.
He's not an ISO isolationist.
He wiped out the entire ISIS caliphate that grew under Obama and Biden.
He knocked out Solomon on that tarmac.
He knocked out Baghdadi and Associates.
He dropped the mother of all bombs in Afghanistan.
Uh and yet that is consistent because he didn't get drawn into a forever war in any one of those cases.
And I happen to agree with the Trump doctrine.
I would call that the Trump doctrine, and that would be the the doctrine that I adhere to.
I think I'm very consistent.
And I think the president played this perfectly.
I don't think it could have gone any better.
It went better than I would have expected, especially on the ceasefire part.
I don't know if it holds, but if it does, it'd be miraculous.
Well, the president's a protective action.
That's the historical name for it.
And he didn't commit to any kind of long-term action.
He just saw a situation that he believed was a threat to the American people, and he took care of it.
And and all the other things that you mentioned come under that banner.
But let me But I'm saying is the Trump doctrine is different than the way others some people are selling it.
And I'm like, I I I cover him every day.
What makes some people think he's an isolationist?
Because he's not.
They're not they're not as smart as you, Hannity.
I mean, and we must You know, you're gonna get me in trouble.
You want to set up a big fight.
All right, whatever.
All right, what were you gonna add?
Go ahead.
Tell me where you think I'm missing something.
No.
You miss you're missing a really good story.
Not only you, but everybody.
So while the planes were in the air doing their combat mission, there were two Congress people that called for impeachment.
Correct.
I have covered the story just for the record, but go ahead.
All right, but I've extended it.
Castin of Illinois and Ocasio Cortes of New York.
I believe they need to be brought before the House Ethics Committee.
If that had happened in a declared war, they could be charged with treason.
Did you know that?
Under the law.
If the war is declared, and this one was not, this was a military action under the War Powers Act, it's perfectly legal, uh, because the president has a 60-day window.
But these people, the uh casting and Cortez should be called in front of the Senate Ethics Committee.
So we called the chairman of the committee, Michael Guest, Congressman from Mississippi.
And he basically told me to go blank myself, Hannity.
That's very mean of him, Bill.
I'm um that's never happened to you in your entire life.
Well, not only is it mean it's stupid.
It is stupid.
This is just think about it.
You have American military people engaged in combat.
Any missile could have gone up, anything could have happened.
Unconscionable.
They're soulless people.
They wouldn't even wait till the next day.
And you're not in all in fairness, if we're gonna look at the timeline accurately, the announcement of the president, and it took most people by surprise.
The the the beauty of this, they actually were able to create and manufacture uh on radar for the Iranians phantom planes that didn't exist, while meanwhile the real planes went in completely undetected, and the Iranians were f uh thought they were firing at American you know, fighter planes and B-2s, and meanwhile, they were firing at a decoy that somehow they created, I guess, with AI.
I have no idea.
That technology is amazing.
But you know, we all heard about it after the fact when the president immediately when they're out of danger, out of harm's way, and on their way home, and that's when the statements were made.
Um I think what's even more egregious that you have this Georgetown professor uh who appeared to indicate that he hopes that Iran strikes a U.S. military base.
And anyway, this guy Jonathan Brown, Georgetown's chair of the Department of Arabic Islamic Studies, director of the uh Prince Alouid uh Center for Muslim Christian Understanding, made the comments on his ex account.
He said, I'm not an expert, but I assume Iran could still get a bomb easily, and I hope Iran does some symbolic strike on a base, then everyone stops.
Now he didn't take the tweet down, but uh as far as I'm concerned, you know, you're calling for an attack on Americans and our brave servicemen and Women.
I mean, this is how kooky the left is.
By the way, I've warned you for years to get out of New York.
Look at look at look at the guy that's most likely, although I'm I'm kind of hoping that Curtis Sleewa, if there's if the Democrats split their vote, he might get a chance.
He'd be like Rudy Giuliani 2.0.
But I told you to get out of that place.
You don't listen to me.
Well, I don't live in the city.
I live in the safest county in the uh United States of America, Nassau County, as far as crime is concerned.
But uh only by the way, the second highest property taxes in the entire country, Bill O'Reilly.
I live there too.
A state in decline, a troubled state.
Only 22% of eligible voters in the Democratic primary cast a ballot yesterday.
Twenty-two percent.
So you're getting what you deserve.
And if this guy is mayor, and that's still not a fate of complete um in November, then New York will descend as rapidly as San Francisco and Los Angeles.
That's exactly what will happen.
But I want to just make one more point about these Congress people and why uh the American public has such a low um approval rating of Congress.
This has got to stop, Hannity.
There are ways to sanction people who are disloyal or who are treasonous, and I'm not gonna say that these people should be charged with treason, uh, Caston and Ocasio Cortez.
But if the ethics committee in a House will not even take the time to bring them in for a hearing, we really don't have a Congress anymore.
How bad does it have to be?
And I was really, really uh surprised by this guy, Michael Guest, he's a Republican, and he can't be bothered with this.
It's really outrageous.
You know, uh uh uh uh Bill, I I share your outrage, but to be very honest, I have a whole pile here of the insanity of the left.
They tried to impeach Donald Trump again yesterday.
Seventy-nine Democrats voted to impeach Donald Trump.
They don't know what the War Powers Act uh says.
It does allow that 60-day window as you pointed out.
No previous president ever acknowledged it.
They didn't apply the same standard to Biden, Obama, Clinton, or any Democratic president or even past Republican presidents, and Donald Trump said, Go ahead, make my day.
Um, you know, the things that the the fact that they don't see the wisdom in this, you know, Winkin Tony Blinkett, you know, was one of these people that sat there and lied to the country about all of these,
you know, 12 to 20 million illegal, unvetted immigrants, many from countries with terror ties, including over 1,500 we know of from Iran, and Biden allowed knowingly allowed unvetted 729 people from Iran into the country.
And people say, well, Donald Trump, he may he may ignite terror in the country.
I'm like, no, the only vulnerability we have is because they let them in in the first place.
Tom Homan was on my show last night.
He said, Democrats sold out our future for political power.
And he's not wrong.
The threat already exists.
Bill O'Reilly, have you heard me say that it's a matter of when, not if, there's going to be attack, an attack on the homeland, and I pray to God that I'm wrong.
You've heard me say it.
I say it constantly because it's a reality because of what they did.
All of us believe, us when I say us, clear-thinking Americans, it doesn't matter what party you're in.
All of us believe that what Biden did for four years was as dangerous a policy.
I think it was the worst policy an American president has ever embraced.
And I mean, we've got some bad ombres in there.
If you read confronting the president says you have, you know that.
Biden to do that and and to never acknowledge it or explain it, not one.
No, they they they outright lied about it.
They they just and the media was complicit, Democrats were complicit or silent, the most preventable national security disaster.
And there are dead people because of it, and they have blood on their hands, Mr. O'Reilly, and they'll have more.
And All if I had ever gotten the opportunity to interview Biden, I would have said to him, Mr. President, do you not remember the Boston marathon terrorism thing?
Do you not remember that?
That the two guys who did that were flagged and the federal government did nothing about them.
They came in and they blew up people in Boston.
And you have thrown open the borders to millions.
This is two to millions of people.
You don't know who they are, you don't know where they are, and there's nobody watching them.
Yeah.
The question that Joe Biden should and nobody he didn't do any interviews, but even if he had, it would have been friendlies.
And on a campaign trail, nobody confronted Kamala Harris with that.
Nobody.com.
Bill, thank you.
We appreciate your time.
When fake news gives you lies, Hannity supplies the truth.
Sean Hannity is on right now.
All right.
Jeffrey out in the United Socialist Utopia of radical Gavin Newsome.
What's up, Jeffrey?
How are you?
Goodness.
How are you doing, boss?
Thank you for taking my call.
Um listening to tidbits of the mayoral race in New York and being in a state that keeps raising minimum wage.
I really wish the voters understood that it's just a high school class president race when they promise all this.
Because if you understand profit margins as you do and people work a job, if a company has a 20% profit margin on a $20 an hour minimum wage and they raise it to $30, they're going to raise that 20%, which is $6 instead of $4.
So even if you make more money, you're gonna be able to buy less with that money because the profit margins are always gonna match.
Economics are economics, and that doesn't change.
And every time you raise the minimum wage, everyone's cost of living goes up.
It doesn't go down just because you make more money, and then you're paying more taxes on it.
So you make less at the end and people just don't get it.
Listen, it it is everything that has gone wrong in California and New York, uh is i is now magnified.
And it th this is the most extreme.
I mean, you have uh probably the most radical extreme democratic government, you know, maybe competing with New York, maybe between the two states.
I mean, it's and and look at the results.
Your cities, your towns are not safe, they're not secure.
Uh quality of life issues are very, very real, and you have a lot of problems there, and it's all caused by government.
Yeah.
And and that's the craziest part is if they throw money at people, say, here's more money, that's gonna solve your problems.
They don't realize that in the end, it's just thinking your states into further despair.
The more money they throw at a problem, it's just getting worse.
And it's the same thing.
If they keep voting in these Democrats, voting in these people with these socialist mentalities that we'll solve it all by more government control, it's just gonna ruin their lives faster.
Well, I appreciate your call, but you get the government, you but you'll elect.
Linda, you happy about Mom Donnie?
I hate Mom Donnie.
Tell us how you really feel.
I hate him.
I think he's dangerous, I think he's scary, he's an anti semi.
Scary.
He hates cops, he hates New York, he hates America, he sits and hangs out with people who think that you know we deserve nine-eleven.
I tell you what, he's he's uh he's a little prince.
His mother worked in Hollywood, he was in Disney movies, he goes by the name of Cardamom and raps about spicy fish.
He's never had a job, he's never ran a business, he's gonna destroy the the this this city that once was the capital of the United States, it's already a dump, and now it's gonna be a bigger dump, only now it's gonna be run over with freaking everybody.
You know, uh Pennsylvania's not perfect, but it's a lot better than New York and California, and you're in the commonwealth, thank goodness.
Um we got thumb bag Shapiro.
I mean, honestly, I never thought I'd get to the day where I like Fetterman better than Shapiro.
My God.
Shapiro's a real POS.
He has been the the biggest surprise of any Democrat I've seen uh in my in modern history.
Uh all right, let's say I Anthony is uh in New York.
What's up by Anthe?
How are you?
Hi, I thank you so much for taking my call.
And I will say to start, you're right.
Thank you very much.
Occasionally, you know, I I never get credit nor want credit nor really claim it, but we are right on, you know, everything involving, you know, the scandals and impeachment and Russia hoax and you know, all the other important issues that come up.
I mean, you know, why is it we get Richard Jewell, Duke Lacrosse, UVA, Ferguson, Missouri, Freddie Gray, Baltimore, you know, we get it right, and the media gets everything wrong.
We work hard, and and you expect that from me.
You know, you wouldn't listen to somebody that gives you phony information like the legacy media, so thank you.
Well, there's three phrases I never hear, and I don't understand why.
One is that they call us the right because we are right.
Everybody thinks that, but nobody says it.
The second is a feed snobs really needs to come back into the lexicon.
Perfectly.
And the other is damned fools and democrats.
That needs to be said by everyone a thousand times a day until it starts getting true to them.
But I could for two reasons, and I'm exercised about both these things.
One, I don't understand why Netanyahu even consulted and and Didi Netanyahu is wonderful.
Why he even mentioned to President Trump the possibility of taking out the Ayatollah.
I don't understand why he just didn't go ahead and do it.
Then well, listen, it I I don't want to get into the details, but um I know of enough to know that the level of coordination between the two countries was at the highest level, and a lot of what you might read or hear or see is not exactly accurate.
And remember, you know, Israel really needed American help on these nuclear facilities.
That was the biggest threat, an existential threat, not just to Israel, but to the world.
And so there's there's a lot more behind the scenes that we're never gonna learn, or you know, so we have to we kind of have to, you know, give them a little bit of grace in in terms of what they decided together.
Uh, but I know that the prime minister is extraordinarily grateful to the president for what he did on Saturday night.
That I know.
And if you would have told me on Saturday night that we would be here on Wednesday talking about a ceasefire holding in light of everything that went down in the pat in the previous twelve days, I don't think I would have believed it.
I I don't believe it.
I know how smart the president is.
I know how good his instincts are.
And for some reason, the first time I ever became aware of him.
I was living in New York City in the 80s.
I was a student at Cardozo Law School.
I opened the New York Post and I saw a picture of him with the skating rink, and the words just came out of my mouth without without foresight.
Fat man is going to be president of the United States one day.
We are so lucky to have him.
It's unbelievable.
And I am why he may be talking about negotiating, but you can't negotiate with these people.
You're never gonna have an agreement in a tree with them.
You know, but but he's got to stay true to what his doctrine is.
And then Israel's gonna have to do what they have to do.
For example, if the Iranians start using proxies again to attack Israel, uh, I'm sure that the Iranians will be blamed, and that would probably be an end to the ceasefire.
I mean, there's I can I can envision numerous scenarios.
The radical, you know, mullahs, or at least those that remain and and generals in Iran have been humiliated on the world stage, and I'm sure they want revenge.
And I'm sure that they're they're thinking about bu rebuilding their ballistic missiles, probably in the back of their mind, rebuilding their nuclear ambitions and pursuing them again.
Um but the president, you know, dealt a pretty sent a pretty clear message today at the NATO summit when he said, I'll just take them out again.
Um, other presidents should learn from this.
Future presidents should learn from this.
Anyway, I Anthony, thank you so much.
Appreciate it.
All right, quick break, right back.
We'll continue more of your calls straight ahead.
Toll free, our number is 800 941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, former Senator Scott Brown uh is gonna join us.
He has a big announcement he made today.
We'll tell you about that, get his thoughts on Israel, Iran, the one big beautiful bill, much more, all coming up straight ahead.
He's always been a street fighter who takes on the system.
And he is doing it today.
Fighting left wing powers who want to stamp out conservative voices, fighting fire with fire.
That's Sean Hannity.
Back to our busy phones, 800-941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
We have Vito in Florida.
Vito, how are you?
My free state.
What's going on, sir?
Hey, Sean, how are you, sir?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Oh, hey, Sean, I wanted to pick your brain a little bit about this uh the mayor, the mayoral candidate there, man, dear.
Man be wither his thing is.
Um Dani is his name.
Mom Donnie, okay.
Well, okay.
Well, hopefully we don't have to use it much.
But um how is it okay?
Go ahead.
How is it not possible?
We don't remotely have a federal law yet.
That says you have to be born in the United States to be part of the politics uh to run a major city, let alone after that, then they become a Bernie Sanders and becoming a senator, you know, like Elon Omar and the next one and the next one.
I mean, this is this is what destroys our Congress.
So it's like if we don't start at the bottom before they get to the top.
So, you know, we're we're beating a dead horse is what I'm thinking about.
This is why I've been saying to people that you know, these a lot of these states are gone.
Um I I will tell you if Mom Donnie becomes the mayor of New York City, the I I am telling you where I live in South Florida right now, every major Wall Street firm has offices.
Everyone that you can think of, everyone that you can name, they're all down here.
Wall Street South is very real.
Every major bank, every private equity group, every company you can think of on Wall Street is here.
And at the end of the day, if this guy thinks he's gonna tax, you know, all of these these corporations into oblivion and the rich into oblivion, they are all in mass.
They're going to leave.
Governor DeSantis is already saying this is gonna be great for real estate in South Florida.
And he's not wrong if Mom Dani wins, it will be an incredible exodus, the likes of which we've never seen.
One thing I've learned about really wealthy people, um, and I'm not talking about trust fund brats, and there are I don't really know those people, to be honest.
I I just don't.
Most people that I know that have achieved any success in life, they did it the old-fashioned way, the hard way.
And I don't begrudge anyone's success.
I actually celebrate success and meritocracy and hard work.
I I don't know any other way.
I learned that from my parents when I was young, and it has served me well in my life.
And but I can tell you the people that have been successful, maybe somehow there's a little luck associated with some of it.
And I'm kind of lucky I didn't get fired when I deserved to get fired when I was starting out, and then people were patient with me and gave me time to to grow and develop and and become, you know, uh more of a professional.
Uh, and at least we can argue semi professional.
And um, but they're not stupid.
You don't get rich by being stupid.
You don't get rich by being lazy either.
It takes, you know, a combination of hard work, smarts, dedication, maybe a little bit of luck, maybe God's blessing.
You know, I call my life an undeserved life.
Um, but I will tell you just watch and see what happens.
Now, I'm hoping that New York City will mitigate this.
The way to mitigate this is I hope Andrew Cuomo gets in the uh gets in as an independent.
And I hope there's enough independence.
There's now Eric Adams, one other guy is running as an independent.
Yeah, Andrew Cuomo running as an independent.
Mom Donnie running as the Democratic candidate, and there's this one soul voice of sanity.
Uh, you know, Curtis Sleewa, Curtis Lewa lives, eats, breeds, sleeps all things New York.
And I I can't every time I was ever on a subway, I'd run into the guy.
He lived down there.
The New Yorkers love him.
And he cares about the city, and he would clean it up.
Very I think he followed the model that Rudy Giuliani set.
Rudy Giuliani saved the city of New York.
There's no doubt about it.
And, you know, forget it about what you may disagree with Rudy today.
As mayor, he was phenomenal.
He did a great job and he rescued New York City at the time it needed to be rescued.
Um anyway, I appreciate the call, my friend.
Thank you.
