Oh, it's so easy to get me in All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man, that can only mean one thing on this radio program, and that is all things self-proclaimed, simple man.
That means whole things Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly of BillO'Reilly.com.
Uh I just got a copy of Bill's uh soon-to-be-released book, Confronting Evil, Assessing the Worst of the Worst.
I am on the cover, Mr. O'Reilly.
I was surprised you put me there with the Supreme Leader and the Ayatollah and everybody every other and Putin and everybody else.
What was up with that?
That was awful.
That's not that's not you, Hannity.
That's Caligula.
You guys look by the way, nobody knows who Caligula is, which makes it even funnier.
Um how are you doing?
Um I know this is the highlight of your week.
This is of course the highlight of my week.
Um but you know, we're uh we're doing a number of things here that are advancing stories, and uh I wanted to get your opinion on one of them.
Um I, as you know, highly respect uh Homan and uh and the effort to uh control um criminal illegal immigration and not just criminal.
I mean if you have uh Scop laws in here, uh people who have uh violated uh traffic and domestic laws, all that, they should be booted immediately.
And I'm not one of those people.
But when a mistake is made, I I want Homeland Security to admit the mistake.
And we're working on this case of this uh guy who was denied entry into USA up in Holton, Maine.
Have you heard about this?
I have not.
So the guy was on vacation, he's got five kids, he lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire, and it's not a national story.
And he came back driving in and they wouldn't let him in because he had a pot beef twelve years ago.
And so the kids could go back to Peterborough, but he couldn't.
And I think they're gonna work it out.
But uh my message to Homeland Security and mistakes are gonna be made.
And just try to mitigate them when you can.
I think that's a reasonable position, right?
Well, I mean, Trump is actually it it made similar comments in as much as he doesn't want you know the the farming industry to get d destroyed because they have over the years they've been reliant on labor, some of which is illegal, etc.
You know, but what we're really threading a needle here, Bill, is because the sheer amount of people that that Biden Harris Mayorcus, uh the the complicit media democrats allowed into this country, and they lied about it revealed for four years, said the borders closed, border secured.
Um we have so many known terrorists in the country.
We even have Iranian assassination squads and murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals and cartel members and gang members, and what you're asking makes a lot of sense.
It really does.
However, we don't really have the luxury considering the magnitude of the problem to go through every case and decide it because there's just so many.
And so so the the initial reaction is okay, right.
That's why what that's why I love the idea of paying people a thousand dollars, giving them a plane ticket, go home, and then apply to come in legally.
I like that idea a lot.
That's not gonna work.
But you know what we're working I know, Bill, that that is working, actually.
About a million people self-deported.
It's working.
Okay, I did not know that.
All I know uh the latest stats that we have are 300,000 people have been either deported or detained by Homeland Security in six months.
Now that's a lot of people, but it's not even one percent of uh what Biden led in.
But but I think that uh President Trump should get behind a new immigration law.
Should be uh and and to really cajole Congress into passing a new law that would have much tougher penalties on the bad, undocumented.
And then Trump himself, with his uh acolytes in the Senate and the House, could come up with we're gonna issue more green cards, we're gonna do X and Y and Z. I think that's doable, Hannity.
I think you can do that.
And I hope You know, it but but here's Bill, I'm uh um let me push back a little and and gently, and I think you're coming at this from a very compassionate and and loving point of view.
Um, but we have an eight hundred and thirty percent increase in assaults on ice agents, Bill, eight hundred and thirty percent.
I can go through I I I I went through chapter and verse every single incident that occurred in just the last week of ice agents being attacked and set up and and hurt and shot at and and so on and so forth.
They put themselves in harm's way every day, and the rhetoric against them has gotten insane, and you know, th anybody that is in this country that didn't respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty, I'm sorry, they they don't get prioritized over the safety of the American people in small towns and big cities.
And the problem is so acute right now.
I think you gotta you gotta get rid of people that are here illegally first, and then we're gonna have to sort out those that maybe deserve to be in the country.
We they've already been given an opening.
If they self-deport, they will have a chance to come back.
If you don't self-deport, you'll never come back.
I think that's pretty fair and compassionate.
I think Trump can be even tougher on that.
Uh he can say, look, you're gonna do it our way, or it's the highway to uh Panama.
So everybody ready said that.
You self-deport or you'll never have a chance to commit.
It's a two pronged assault.
You tell the undocumented people we are going to try to pass new laws to be fair.
However, if you get out of line, you're gone.
And the most important part of a new law would be every single undocumented person in this country would have to register at the federal government.
Everyone.
And immediately Okay, well, but we've we've kinda I think they've kind of done that.
This is what I'm telling you.
They have given every illegal an opportunity to self-deport now, identify themselves to the government and go back to the country where they came from, and we'll give you transportation and a thousand bucks and the ability to apply to to come in legally.
That's a pretty fair deal.
That that seems to cover every base you want covered.
But it's not a law.
You need a law that says you have to we don't need a law.
They've it's a policy that's been enacted.
But it's not a law.
And once you have the law, you have to uh register and you don't, that makes deportation a slam dunk.
You don't have to go and review every case.
Let me ask you a question.
Here's a serious question.
If you're if you're I don't know if you I know you have a big big beautiful mansion on the on the water somewhere.
I don't know.
I won't tell people where it is.
And let's say you take a boat out, Bill, and your boat is taking on water a lot of water.
Uh what do you have to do first?
What's the first thing you do?
Yeah, you gotta shore the boat up.
I understand.
But you know, you plug you plug up the hole.
The next thing you do if if in the water, let's say it's contaminated with something, in the case of, okay, they opened up the border, we had wide open, porous borders.
Now we have among the people that came in, probably the overwhelming vast majority of people that just wanted a better life for themselves and their children, and they come from impoverished countries.
I don't blame them.
The border was open, that's on us, not on them.
Uh although they did violate our laws.
But among them are people that are can't, that's like having cancer cells.
Among them are known terrorists, murderers, rapists, uh, gang members, other violent criminals, cartel members, and assassins.
So we don't have the luxury of time to sort them out now.
That's why they put in the self-deport now.
It's a policy, they can do it, they'll get their thousand bucks, they can apply legally go through the process, come in legally.
The Republican Congress could pass this bill in two weeks if people would just get down and be serious about it.
Look, Trump has done the right thing, but Congress has not.
It's as simple as that.
We need a new immigration law.
Make it easy for homeland security easier by saying, Look, you're undocumented, you gotta register at your local post office with the federal government within a period of time, maybe ninety days.
You don't, and we find you, you're gone.
Henny, that would be the greatest thing that could happen to this country.
And then on the back end of the bill, Trump could put forth what his vision is about people being here with more green cards, whatever it may be.
I'm telling you, that's that it would go a long way to taking all of the things that we're going to do.
Trump hates out of it.
I I feel like we're kind of talking past each other.
I really do, because I'm I'm telling you you don't need the law.
As a matter of policy, it's already in place for the most part, not exactly the way you want it.
And I think that it we have such a bad it's such an urgent problem.
Like Gavin Newsom is gonna, I think he wants to run for president, right?
I don't think he went to South Carolina for the weather in the summertime, it's pretty hot there.
You don't go to South Carolina in July unless you want to run for president, okay?
All right.
So do you not think if he runs be ha having supported sanctuary state and city status, that the issue of every Californian that has been murdered, raped, victims of violent crime.
Do you not think people like me are going to be scrolling the victims' names?
People that he probably never talked to or mentioned once in his career as governor or lieutenant governor uh in his life.
Do you not think that is going to be a big issue with people as he is he's you know kind of out there fighting for you know for the rights of people that came into the country illegally to stay?
I don't think that's gonna serve him well.
Do you?
I don't think he has a chance.
I think he'll run behind a governess of Maryland, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.
I mean, anybody I I disagree with that too.
I I think the Democratic Party will elect a radical way if you look at the poll that came out yesterday, Kamala Harris leads the pack with like thirty percent.
Haven't at like eleven percent, and and Mayor Pete, another leftist.
And you know, AOC's in there.
They don't know these other people, but they will.
I don't think Newsom has a chance for the nomination at 28.
There's no I do I can't.
I think he does.
You think he does?
I think he does.
Yeah, I do.
I do think it's wide open.
I think the party's become radicalized and the base of the party's radicalized, which is why people like Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries as Mom Dani goes to Washington today.
I I mean, you look you look at this guy, Bill, and I've told you a long time ago, and you brush me off.
You you just you never listen to Hannity.
You should you should take that as a given.
When Hannity speaks, when Marxist Mondani is now by far the front runner, a guy that that literally literally is called for the government to seize the means of production, even confiscate private property and set up government-run grocery stores, defund the police, and put in social workers, a lot of good that's gonna do, and cash bell, raise taxes uh to unprecedented levels, uh, especially raise taxes in white neighborhoods, Bill.
Uh I forgot that part, and won't uh condemn uh global antifata against Jewish people.
Um he's a Marxist.
And the part in New York, as so goes New York, so goes California, so goes the country, Bill.
This party's been radicalized.
I don't believe that.
I I think that most Americans don't care what happens in New York City because they think that New York is getting what it deserved.
I don't live in New York City.
But I do Chuck Schumer's from New York.
Who would win in a primary?
Schumer or AOC?
AOC kick his butt.
That's what's happened to your state, Bill.
Well, um I do a commentary on YouTube.
It's YouTube.com slash Bill O'Reilly, explaining who voted for Mandami.
And those are the people that want to tear the system down.
They want to destroy.
But the point is, but look at Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
They they are leaders in name only.
They are impotent.
They are unwilling to take on the radicals in their party.
The Mamdanis, the AOCs, the squad, the Jasmine Crockets, the grandpa Bernie's and Pocahontases, they rule that party, true or false.
That's true, and that's good for the Republicans, isn't it?
I'm not yet don't hear me complaining.
Yeah.
I mean, look, the more radical the Democratic Party gets, the stronger the Republicans are to increase their majority in the midterms.
And that's what's happening.
So Trump, I think he's doing a pretty good job.
He's got to get by some of these little controversies that, you know, are inexplicable, but he's been overall pretty good.
And if the if the tariff thing and the economy surges at the end of this year, then he'll win.
The Republicans will win.
But even if it doesn't happen, say it just stays neutral.
The radical profile of the Democratic Party, most Americans don't want any part of that.
They don't want any part of it.
We'll see.
I I I will tell you that they can't win nationally, but I think they have far they they now run the party.
And they are the dominant voices in the party, and I think the base is similarly become more radicalized.
Right.
And I think more people are going to be inclined to move to the Republican Party.
Look at the poll numbers for the president with Hispanic Americans and African Americans.
They're through the roof.
And when his economic policies kick in, it's only going to get better.
You know, Annity, uh I mentioned last week, and I I almost said withdrawal.
You know, on Wednesday, I was going, where's Hannity?
Where come on?
Does it have a phone wherever he is?
No, I appreciate you having me on.
Uh we appreciate you being here.
Uh all things Bill O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly.com.
Mr. O'Reilly, we appreciate your time, sir.
We'll talk to you next week.
Thanks for having me.
Um, I do find it interesting the conspiracy theories of the left.
You know, should we call it internment camps or concentration camps?
Has any of those people ever on the left that they ever once?
Did they ever talk about Jocelyn Nungarry, Rachel Morin, Lake and Riley?
Because the same Democratic Party without a heart, conscience, or soul, that same Democratic Party uh wouldn't even stand for the family of Lake and Riley or Alexis Nungarry, Jocelyn Nungary's ma uh mother, when the president spoke to a joint session.
I mean, pretty soulless.
And I listen to all these comments.
We have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, assassination squads, cartel members, gang members, drug dealers in the country, and they just care about the Abrego Garcias.
This is outrageous.
They're putting they are arresting people that broke the law.
I mean, that's big and now we see an 830% increase in violence against agents.
Never ceases to amaze me.
And I've never heard any of these people on fake news, CNN, MSDNC, you know, the ones talking about concentration camps, internment camps.
Have they ever once interviewed the members of families that lost loved ones because of Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, the people that they supported, and their policies of open borders?
Did they ever mention these names?
The names that I scrolled the entire campaign in 2024 of the people murdered, raped, and victims of violent crime.
Did they ever once mention them?
Have they ever talked to those people or their families?
I have.
I've never interviewed Blake and Riley's family, but I talked to them.
I did interview Rachel Morin's mother.
Rachel Morin had five children.
Now she's she's a grandmother, and she's taking care of of her daughter's her daughter's children.
I mean, amazing woman.
Alexis Nungary is one of the nicest people I've ever met.
Her 12-year-old daughter brutally raped and murdered.
How come we never hear from any of these politicians and media people about this?
Never do.
Just like, you know, if anyone ever I'm glad the Democrats now all of a sudden seem to care about election integrity because they're spreading all these bizarre conspiracies.
Like, for example, did you know fake news Acosta?
I guess he has a podcast.
Is that what it is?
Just listen to the insanity.
And parties talking to James Carvel, then you have Joy Reed, other media people are all worried about the Donald Trump is going to fix the 2026 elections.
No, they just think they're going to lose and they want to they want an excuse going in.
Listen.
Do you worry about Donald Trump and Steven Miller and some of these types monking around with the midterms and the way we do elections in this country?
I mean, with what they're trying to pull these days, they don't want accountability.
They don't want Democrats getting the gavels in the House and the Senate and be able to hold hearings and start impeachment proceedings and so on.
I mean, you worry about that, James.
Uh they had a sharp word.
Yes.
In the longer words, very I think it's insane, honestly, to just assume we're gonna have normal elections next year.
I don't assume that.
Oh, okay.
Well, I guess now maybe they'll support election integrity measures, like you know, voter ID and signature verification and chain of custody uh controls for mail and ballots, and and maybe they'll support updated voter roles, and maybe they'll support partisan observers, watching the voting all day and the vote vote counting all night.
Maybe they'll support paper ballots, which I think is offers the most integrity.
Anyway, uh let's get to our busy, busy telephones.
Dennis in South Carolina on the Sean Hannity show.
Dennis, glad you called.
How are you, sir?
Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call.
Uh I think I'd safe to say I'm calling from the also free state of South Carolina.
Um I just wanted to talk a little bit about uh James Comer and their investigation uh into uh Biden's use of the auto pen.
I mean, I think it's a waste of time completely, especially when it comes to the uh pardons.
I mean, it's it's it it reminds me of when the Democrats had control and they and they impeached Trump and uh again a waste of time.
If if there was something something serious that that one of his staff did and used the auto pen for, I think maybe that would be worthy of investigation, but uh uh the pardons uh I think it's a waste of time.
But say you.
Well, um, you know, I'll be honest, I'd like to get to the bottom of it.
I'd like to know who is making the decisions.
I mean, if you really think about it, it's a pretty pretty scary, severe constitutional crisis if the the duly elected president is not making the decisions and and some buddy uh is making those decisions for him, or that you know he doesn't even know the cases of of commutations, etcetera.
And he commute he he did a lot of commutations and pardons of people that definitely didn't deserve it, bad people.
And and I'd like to know who made the decision if he didn't make it.
That to me is a no, it's like it's it's sort of like a coup when you think about it.
If he was not up to the job, then the people around him had a responsibility and a duty to tell the country the truth and at that point invoked the twenty-fifth amendment.
Kamala Harris should have taken over at that point at some point.
And you know, and and at least we would know that the it's the actual president making the very, very critical decisions.
And I would I do believe that it would invalidate some of these commutations and pardons if in fact he did not sign off specifically on them.
He just can't lay out criteria.
That's not what the power of the pardon is all about.
I I agree, but I think I think we can both agree that uh there were a lot of decisions made during the Biden administration that he had no part in, honestly, you know.
Uh yeah.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, Dennis.
Thank you, man.
Glad you're out there.
Uh let's say hi to David in Alabama.
What's up, David?
How are you, sir?
I am well, Sean, and sweltering Southern Summer greetings to you, sir.
Um it's a little tough.
Well, you know, you know I had a chance to meet recently, and I really liked him as Nick Saban.
I think Nick Saban was one of the greatest college football coaches of all time by far.
I agree.
I played under Coach Bryant.
He was my coach, and I fully Yes, sir.
And you know what a what it is to have two goats, the greatest of all time in Alabama and Coach Saban truth.
I mean, they're both very similar, but very different too in the way they did things.
I mean, but it's all about the process and the belief in the process.
So I mean, he's amazing guy, and I'm glad he's the one looking at the name image likeness stuff.
So maybe something good can finally come out of that.
But one let's see what happens.
I mean, I mean, I'm torn on the issue a little bit because a lot of these athletes, the vast n 99% of them, overwhelming majority, never gonna make it in the pros.
And they do sacrifice their college experience in many ways because it's a full time ch uh job being uh a top division one athlete.
And and they often, in the case of football in particular, they sacrifice their bodies and and they have life sustaining injuries and the ramifications.
They carry that with the rest of their life and they don't get any compensation at all, and the schools get rich off it.
I think there's got to be a better way than the system they have now where the schools are literally buying off players and buying championships.
Well, that's true.
I mean, and I but that that that's what the pro market should be about.
You know, I got an education and a diploma with mine that I put to use and had a very good career in in medicine, you know, for for 30 years.
But you know, but most of them, they don't do that.
They go in, I'm here to play football, then they go home after a couple of years when they're used up or whatever.
I've had both knees replaced and both shoulders replaced, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat, you know, but it's I'm not smart enough to see any different.
But listen, I admire the fact that that's how you feel about it, but uh I listen, there's not a uh there's not a person that I know that played football for any extended period of time that didn't have residual injuries associated with it.
And I mean, really severe ones.
Some of them have a hard time walking and running, and you know, they have knee replacements and hip replacements, in your case, knee and shoulder replacements.
I mean, this is serious stuff, and these are lifelong injuries that people sustain.
That's why I'm not against compensating college athletes uh that sacrifice so much for the school and the school sharing some of the revenue that they're taking in because they're getting they're getting rich off it.
And I'm gonna be very blunt too.
The idea that kids are really getting the education that they proclaim to give them, yeah, they're not exactly getting the education that you would you think they might be getting in many cases.
Well, it's up to the individual person.
It's like you made the comment the other day about you know you never work 40 hours a week in your life.
If I work 40 hours, it's because I took three days off.
You know, and I understand it's you know, you strive for perfection and settle for excellence, and you have to push yourself to be better.
Don't settle for mediocrity, you know, and that's what you gotta get something out of what you put into these time at school.
So but anyway, but yeah, I I absolutely agree, they're getting rich and something needs to happen, but at the same time they need to do more with the education they could be getting.
But the reason I call Sean, Mayor Bass and all this cash she's handing out, you know, one thing we've learned you cannot trust politicians with cash, especially when it's unregulated.
I mean, if if loading up billions of dollars on a runway in in Iraq didn't teach us anything, you know, that you know, of what happens with that money, you know, how much of this is gonna wind up in her personal coffers for her to use, we don't know.
And it won't do that.
You know, I'm not saying she's a criminal, but I'm just saying the propensity to misuse free cash like that is is too great.
Especially when they're just throwing it around to try to make a you know a point to be on the right.
Listen, this this is insane.
I mean, this is what the Democratic Party, I keep saying has become.
They champion the right of men to play women's sports, they put the rights of illegal immigrants that don't respect a law's border sovereignty uh over the safety and security of citizens in this country.
Their priorities are all screwed up, but New York, they're paying for lawyers to sue the government.
Great, they're suing the taxpayers.
They're hurting our school system, they're overwhelming it uh with kids that are in the country uh illegally, the the children of illegal immigrants.
Uh they're overwhelming our our medical system and our hospital system and our health care system, they're overwhelming our criminal justice system, and it's costing this country, you know, hundreds of billions of dollars to deal with it.
And I'm sorry, but I put the rights of Americans ahead of those people that that didn't go through the process legally.
Every time they should Americans should be put first.
And then the hey, if they want to be be Americans, great.
Go through, register, learn to speak English, and then and then contribute with taxes to our system.
Just do it legally.
I don't care where you come from.
Do it legally.
Thank you, David.
All right, listen, but I want to tell you there are so many people over the years.

On the web, it's Lone Starrtransfer.com.
Quick break, right back to our busy phones.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941 Sean, if you want to join us.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Music Back to our busy phones as we say hi to Mario in New Jersey.
What's up, Mario?
How are you doing?
What's going on?
Yeah, you know, you know, Sean, I'm actually I have a home in Fort Myers, but I do the six-month and a day thing.
So I'm in New Jersey quick.
By the way, the six month and a day thing is a crock.
I'm telling you right.
For people that are going to make the move to Florida, uh that's not exactly how it works.
Because well, I can tell you the state of New York that they don't judge it by six months and a day.
You know, that the criteria is so subjective.
You just have to look, I hired enough lawyers and accountants when I moved uh because I knew they'd be coming after me.
And I'm just telling you, you just have I I had to cut all ties with New York and stay out of the state.
And I do.
And I don't do business in the state.
Uh I I do have an accounting background as well as a finance background.
But the reason for my call wasn't so much about how much greater Florida is.
I'm I'm coming down in ten days.
The reason for my call is because Sean, I I watch you, I'm a loyal listener.
I I I watch your show at night.
And you know, I just got some constructive criticism.
I kind of like don't like the fact that everybody's all over Jerome Powell to lower interest rates.
He sucks.
He's awful.
Go ahead.
No, but but listen, Sean, let's go back to ten years.
Uh let's go back to 2008 with the Obama years, when they did quantitative easing, and they maintained interest rates so low that it put banks in what we called this crisis mode.
Now, you know, I I agree with Trump with the tariffs.
I'm all about the tariffs.
That was the community reinvestment act.
That was Bill Clinton's fault, and they were they lowered the standards in terms of home lending monies uh for people that never would have qualified.
That's where the banking crisis came into effect.
But but Sean, it was also a banking crisis, if you recall when Biden was president, because what they did is they lowered interest rates so low that what happened I'm not I'm not saying to lower them so low.
I'm saying they're artificially high, and I think it's because Jerome Powell has a personal animus uh towards Donald Trump.
So you're gonna I'm just on the clock, but I hear what you're saying.
I just disagree.
If you want a high interest rate, you're like the only person I know that thinks that they are at the right level.
