This is an iHeart Podcast.
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Oh, it's...
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 all things, Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly or BillO'Reilly.com.
So I am looking at Tim Cook is about to join the president of the White House for this big announcement, this Apple investment, a hundred billion dollars in commitments by the tech giant.
This is on top of 500 billion.
I mean, the amount of money Apple is going to spend so that's $600 billion total in the next four years.
But if you add up between car companies, automobile manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies and semiconductor chip companies and rare earth metal uh mineral development and new mines that are going to be making us independent in that area.
And then you factor in the largest tax cuts in history, helping working men and women the way we grew up.
If you saw the Billy Joel uh uh uh documentary on HBO Max, kind of like the way we grew up.
Um it's I want to see working men and women get some tax relief.
And then you add the energy factor, which is all the policies in place now to become energy dominant coupled with the European Union deal, which is you know, seven hundred and fifty billion dollars in commitments to buy American energy.
Philip O'Reilly, you don't have to be you don't have to be uh go to MIT and study economics and get a PhD to understand this is gonna be a great opportunity for American workers, and it's gonna it's gonna literally change our economy, and we're gonna go back to being in a manufacturing center and more it more independent.
Um I love every aspect of it, but what say you?
Well, it's a short term versus long term.
So there's no doubt that uh Donald Trump wanted to change the economic profile of America and has done so.
Uh all of these things that are happening are positive, but they're theoretical.
Um American workers are still in a painful circumstance.
And you know why?
Uh because there are a lot of hidden costs that come in, like insurance and health care and medicine, which are really gutting uh take home pay and savings.
And yes, all of this is very positive for the future.
But the future is about 18 months for the midterms.
So some of this has to then turn into relief for the majority of voters in America.
And that has to happen by early 2026, I think.
Uh you see, I don't agree with a lot of criticism of some conservatives of the one big beautiful bill.
Well, number one, I believe there's gonna be a follow-up.
I believe there are gonna be more cuts.
Um no president has put in cut uh in place as many cuts as President Trump has already, and I think there's gonna be many more to follow.
But if you look at the Reagan model, he dropped the top marginal rates from 70 to 28%, and we doubled revenues to the government, but but Congress spent a dollar twenty-five for every new dollar they brought in.
My my issue is as I look at the economy and I look at the amount of money that's being spent, the one big beautiful bill had in it what's called for manufacturers, bonus depreciation.
You understand this, maybe some people don't.
Bonus depreciation means you get to write off a hundred percent of your investment in manufacturing on year one, which will incentivize them to move because they get to write all that off, all the all the construction costs, all the manufacturing costs.
Um that is a huge incentive for any business.
So I think that's gonna accelerate it.
That will help help that will help the midterms.
Okay.
And you might be right.
But it's uh still nebulous word of the day.
Um, whether relief is gonna come.
Remember uh killing Reagan for two years.
Reagan did not prosper economically in his and his poll numbers were very low.
And then it all kicked in.
So this is almost a race against the clock for Donald Trump to get this stuff right into the living rooms of the American people.
And I just don't know whether that will happen or not.
Nobody can say with a hundred percent certainty however when you look at twelve anywhere between twelve and fifteen trillion dollars in committed investments, which is what the number is now in manufacturing,
and then you couple in which I think has been overlooked and ignored by far too many people the the idea that manufacturing facilities can literally because of bonus depreciation write off a hundred percent of their invested money in year one that is going to be the accelerant word of the day that will jump start and and move move this this process forward that much more quickly.
Now two things differences with Reagan Reagan remember he didn't get his bill passed anywhere near as quickly as Donald Trump did.
He didn't get his economic plan in place till about a year and a half into his presidency and he he was dealt a horrible hand on the economy just like President Trump was so the idea that that the president has a year and a half head start and is put in this as putting this accelerant or this incentive out there for companies to move I think is going to be I think it has all the potential to be very very explosive.
I can't guarantee it, though.
I'm not going to sit there and overpromise.
The potential is there.
A couple of things can really jack it up, and that's a deal with China.
And as you know that I'm deeply involved with that and if that comes about that will be a real stimulator for everybody in the world not just the United States.
But you know this.
We already have a deal in principle with China.
Yeah, but you know, you need a deal that involves Putin.
You need a deal that involves energy transfers from the USA to China.
You need a lot of definition about how much Chinese we're going to take, how many goods we're going to take.
All that can be worked out.
And I expect that President Trump will go to Beijing.
Maybe that won't happen.
I can't guarantee it, but I expect it will.
I think it's going to happen.
My sources tell me that...
that's very likely to happen.
Yeah and me too so that would be a game changer.
And the other advantage that Donald Trump has is that the Democratic party has nothing.
You know what they have Mamdani's your buddy's the one that you know it clings to New York like it's manna from heaven not me.
No but it's a national store because this is what you got this is what you want today is the anniversary 65 years I believe of Fidel Castro seizing all private property in Cuba when he said that he wouldn't all right now if you go to Cuba as I've been it's the second worst economy in the Western hemisphere next to Haiti which is totally out of control.
You mean Michael Moore lied to us when he said they had the best healthcare system he's ever seen?
Who's that?
Michael Moore?
No come on he's in the moron.
Um look what I'm trying to say is that even if it doesn't come a hundred percent for Donald Trump as far as economics is concerned to pull a lever for the other party I mean you really have to be uh I I don't know what the word is I I I mean look at Boston my second home totally falling apart because drug addicted people are overrunning the city.
I mean what how much more do we have to have of this far left progressive governance that fails on everything.
And you think that they're gonna resurrect the economy?
You think that Senator Schumer's got a formula for putting money in Americans' pockets?
Come on.
I don't think Senator Schumer has the courage to say a single thing in this day and age because he's he's only the minority leader in name only, as Hakeem Jeffries is, and the Mamdanis and the Pocahontases and the Grandpa Bernie's and the AOCs and the Jasmine Crockett's and the squad.
That represents the Democratic Party today.
You know, you see this now emerging, you see it in Minnesota.
You see it in in your I know you spend time in in Boston.
You're very fond of Boston.
I'm not it used to be a once great city.
It's not anymore.
Listen, you just hit it right on the head, Hannity.
Um the face of the Democratic Party is radical left.
And that's why this Mamdani thing is getting traction because if you're gonna elect communists which is what he is and I don't say that as uh McCarthy or or you know Goldwater or any of these people.
I'm not the man is a communist.
He would seize private property just as Castro did to give it to people he wants to give it to based on God knows what when that is the overwhelming profile of Trump's opposition that gives him an enormous advantage even if all of the economic stuff doesn't kick in on time.
Agreed.
I believe the odds are high that it will I can't say for sure.
Quick break right back we'll continue more with all things simple man Bill O'Reilly all things O'Reilly a BillO'Rey dot com.
At the bottom of the half hour, we expect the president and Tim Cook to have a joint press conference.
Apple is investing six hundred billion dollars in America.
That's part of the twelve to fifteen trillion dollars that is going to be spent on on manufacturing in America.
That includes not only phones, but semiconductor chips.
That includes pharmaceuticals, rare earths, things that we have been far too dependent on on other countries for.
And automobile manufacturing will carry that coming up next and much more straight ahead as we continue.
continue Chucky Schumer is sure upset because we want to see where the money went where's the money maybe we should start with him how about it Chucky where is the dough Sean Hennedy.
Hey if you're sending your child off to college this fall make sure you give him more than a backpack and a laptop you need to give them peace of mind this world is a very dangerous place.
Go to Burner B Y R N A. It is the less lethal launcher and it is the ultimate off campus protection without the legal financial or emotional burden of using a firearm.
I carry one every single day I recommend anyone concerned about personal safety or the safety of their family you need one as well.
By the way it's legal in all 50 states they can ship it straight to your door and don't forget over five hundred government agencies now are using this incredible technology because you can incapacitate any perpetrator for thirty to forty minutes legal all 50 states no background check required and it fires those kinetic rounds.
Just go to B Y R N A dot com all hand assembled in Fort Wayne Indiana.
Visit Burner B Y RNA dot com today and find the right launcher for your family that's B Y R N A dot com.com let me get your take you have Hakeem Jeffries Chucky Schumer, Kathy Hochel, they all refuse to condemn Mamdanny.
We know the guy wouldn't even condemn a call for global antifata.
He wants to seize the means of production um the the guy is is he wants government run grocery stores, cradle to grave, womb to the tomb, billionaires shouldn't exist.
He wants to tax the whiter neighborhoods more.
I mean how much more do I need to bring up why won't they condemn him?
Because their money men are far left progressives, the people who fund Schumer's campaign.
And Schumer's got to watch Cortez is probably gonna primary him.
So he can't become a moderate.
Remember when Schumer uh voted for uh the Trump uh it escapes me in a moment, but but Trauma, um no, it's a b uh what was it?
The big bill?
No, he voted against that.
Schumer did something to help Trump continuing resolution, which he which, by the way, he's never he's never favored her government shutdown his entire career.
It was consistent with where he's been his entire career, and he got excoriated for it.
Very good, Hannity, very good.
Um, Schumer knows he can't go against the radical left because he'll lose to uh I think he's gonna retire anyway.
I don't think Chucky's gonna even give it a go.
Because the numbers, he's on so underwater and so unpopular in New York State at this point.
Um why do you let me ask this question with your state now?
I mean, your yours is the state of AOC.
Yours is the state of Kathy Hokel, Mom Donnie, even Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries.
Why do you stay there, Bill?
Why?
Well, I got deep uh personal and business interests here that uh I have to for the time being.
But there's a line.
A wealth tax would be the line.
Um, you know, if you die in New York State, the government's gonna try to come in and take every single thing you have.
And you have to try to prevent that.
There are laws that you can use to do that.
But you know, at this point, it's a decision made upon personal things.
I got two urchins, they are here.
Uh one of them is going to DC.
Uh I got to supervise that whole thing, and I got three corporations.
I'm running out of here.
So it's Bill, you can run the corporations out of anywhere.
That's not an excuse.
And if you want to visit your kids, because they're older, like mine are.
Mine live in the free state of Florida, not far from me.
Um, however, it's called an airplane, Bill.
You can get on an airplane.
All right, Hannity.
All I'm saying to you is that I think there may be a backlash in this state.
I think the state may be at that crossroads.
Now, California didn't learn its lesson, and it's never coming back.
And I don't think Massachusetts is either.
But there's still a little bit of hope for New York.
There's zero.
The grim reaper.
Not grim.
I mean, Mondani wins is gonna be great for my state of Florida.
Do you know why I don't want it to happen?
Because I have friends like you that live there.
I don't want, even though it would be good for me and and my fellow Floridians for that state to continue to collapse.
I don't want it for the people that have chosen for whatever reason to remain.
I don't want that for them.
Anyway, Bill O'Reilly, we appreciate you.
All things simple man, Bill O'Reilly of Bill O'Reilly.com.
All right, so we're awaiting, you know, what happens in the Oval Office.
We'll get to some of your calls here in a minute.
800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
We're always interested in what you have to say.
Evidence in the Obamagate Russia hoax scandal will likely be presented to a grand jury in Florida.
Even Newsweek is reporting this.
The Department of Justice's federal grand jury case to investigate Obama and the administration over their 2016 assessment of Russian election interference could take place in Florida, which would likely provide a more favorable legal environment for the DOJ.
That actually means a fair environment, not a biased or abusively biased environment like they had for Donald Trump in New York.
Anyway, speculation is that Florida would be a possible trial location.
New York Times reporting as of yesterday, the prosecutors would present the case to a grand jury in South Florida.
Wouldn't it be great if I was on the grand jury or on a jury?
It would be amazing.
I don't think they'd ever pick me.
No, you you you could get picked.
You should go in as Sean Patrick Hannity.
So it kind of throws them off and like, you know, wear like a baseball cap and sunglasses and answer all the questions exactly the way they want to.
Sean Patrick Hannity and and me wearing a baseball cat, a Cap and sunglasses, and you think that's gonna do it.
I think it would take a little bit longer for people to catch on to the fact that it was you, and I think that it would be great.
And I think that they would have to say, hang on a second.
You look a lot and sound a lot like that guy, Hannity.
And you would say, oh, I have a bone to pick with you.
I don't want to talk about this because this is ridiculous.
This is a good thing.
How could you ever have a bone kick?
A white dudes for Harris hat.
Yes.
A white dudes for Harris hat.
Excellent.
Excellent idea.
And you don't think after 30 years of being on television that I'm recognizable?
You know, there's a lot of people.
Well, you always say that you're taller and thinner in real life.
So I mean, you know.
Well, I am.
I mean, that's what people tell me all the time.
Oh, you look younger in person.
Oh, you look taller in person.
Are you skinnier in person?
See that?
Oh.
I'm like, you know, fat, old, and short on TV.
So you could just be like, yeah, that's my older brother.
I'm Pat.
How are you?
I want to serve on this story.
I want to do my civic duty.
And don't think I didn't notice you snuck it in once today.
You uh now brought Scott Shannon into the conspiracy.
Amazing human.
Okay.
Brought him into the conspiracy that somehow that I'm thinking about a White House run.
Let's play this.
Hey, you know, there's a big rumor going around that Sean Hannity may be running for president.
Now tell me, how many people think that's a great idea?
Oh boy.
Stay tuned for more details right here on the Hannity Show.
See, there you go.
Crickets.
Nobody thinks it's a good idea.
First of all, this is all Linda contrived.
You're the one that brought this up on this program.
I merely just regurgitated that which I read on social media.
You know, X is a powerful medium.
You have seven million followers, and they, you know, they let their voices be heard.
I merely was the messenger of said voice.
That's all.
Okay.
Don't believe everything that you read on.
Yeah, I am guilty.
I am guilty of going to Scott Shannon and saying, sir, I would like you to make me a few stagers and liners.
I will write them.
They're going to be fantastic.
Please take artistic liberty, which he did, and they're fantastic.
Oh, there are other ones?
Oh, yeah.
We're mixing them in all day.
Let's hear another one.
Let me hear a number of.
How does this sound?
Sean Hannity for President.
Stay tuned.
More details are coming up.
Why are you making Scott Shannon work this hard?
Why are you doing that?
Hannity for President.
Is that true?
What?
Just imagine the guy with the most radio stations now getting the biggest microphone in America.
President Hannity.
Will he really do it?
Stay tuned.
We'll find out.
No, that's that's my first three.
That's it.
So we got three from you.
Conspired with Scott Shannon behind my back to do this.
And meanwhile, this is a Linda contrived invented story that is.
You really think based on faking.
Do I have the time to make up the city?
Did you or did you not conspire with Scott Shannon?
I did do that.
You did so conspire with him.
You absolutely conspired with him.
Again, I'm an honest person.
I'm forthcoming.
I did do that.
But I did not, I did not start the Hannity for President rumor.
That's not true.
That happens online.
People were talking.
I made it.
the most important decision, obviously, nothing that would make me happy, you know what it is to stay behind this microphone.
And before that TV camera for as long as God will let me, there you go.
But if you were to run for president, you and your vice president McLaughlin would do an amazing job of running this country and setting it up.
I could not pick you as a vice president.
As a matter of fact, you would not even be allowed to be in the Oval Office or be around me.
Why?
If you were vice president, because I would be poisoned and I'd be a dead president within three months.
No, six months.
I told you, I gave you a full six months.
It'll be fantastic.
And then you'll kill me.
And then you'll poison my food.
That's right.
But it'll be a quick poisoning.
Like I'll do, you know, I'll do something powerful.
Don't worry.
I'll make sure to consult Fauci.
He's got lots of great ideas.
800.
By the way, everybody's getting freaked out by this this new virus out of out of China.
No one is freaked out.
No one.
That is fake news.
It is complete and utter nonsense.
No one is freaked out.
I'm more freaked out about the USDA labels on my meat, to be honest with you.
Okay.
I'm just telling you what I'm reading.
The global outbreak fears are now surging.
This is a headline because of this virus in China, and apparently it's spread by mosquitoes.
Nobody has died.
There's more than 7,000 infections reported.
It's in a southern city of Foshan in the Guangdong province, prompting authorities to isolate patients and hospital wards covered with mosquito nets.
They are required to remain there for a week or at least until they test negative, if not sooner.
No deaths have been reported, but that doesn't mean the Chinese aren't lying to us at the Oh my god, the C C P lying to us about bioengineering, some medical biochemical weapon.
I want to know if we paid for this too.
Of course we did.
I'm sure we probably did.
You know, if they had the Wuhan Virology Lab, maybe they have the hang on.
What's the name of the county?
Eco Health Alliance.
It's Faux.
Faux Shan Guangdong Province.
I mean, it kind of rhymes with Faushi.
The Guangdong Mosquito, you know, gain of function lab in China.
Let's go to Mike in Pennsylvania.
Hey Mike, how are you?
Great, Sean.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Um, so I I guess one of my biggest questions is as the Democrats have continued to escalate, and it's been going on for years now.
I don't know if it you can really call it escalation anymore.
But everybody is a Nazi.
Everything is Hitler, the next Hitler.
There's nowhere to go from there.
I mean, when somebody actually does come out and is that radical or that, you know, evil.
What are they gonna have to say then?
There's no there's nowhere to go from that position.
It is it is now become their go-to phrase that they've added to racist, sexist, misogynist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic, transphobic.
They want Republicans want dirty air and water, and they want to kill old people.
Now it's racist, fascist, Nazi, Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Mussolini.
That's their go-to.
And you're right.
It's like the boy that cried wolf.
It loses any impact.
And the idea that everything's compared to Nazi Germany to me is offensive.
You know, everything, oh, these are concentration camps.
These are internment camps.
No, they're actually prisons that are holding prisoners at Alligator Alcatraz, for example, and now they're being deported to their home country.
But this is all they've got.
Uh all right, let's go to uh John in Maryland.
John, how are you?
Glad you called.
Good, sir.
How are you?
I'm good.
What's going on?
Well, I have a suggestion for Linda that she can get Scott involved with this.
I think a good ticket would be you as president, Stephen Ace.
Oh, good grief.
Why am I allowing people to do this?
I'm not running for president.
Why not?
All right, go ahead, John.
I didn't mean to interrupt.
No, sir.
That was it.
That's all.
Love your show.
Just hang on.
Then what position does Linda get?
Because that's all she cares about in this whole discussion is hard.
That's correct.
You might dodge an assassination.
I don't know.
Dude, give me your role, man.
Come on.
I'm telling you, pressure.
Give me something, man.
Jeez.
Press secretary with the over-under against you that you would not even.
You would beat Scaramucci's record of being That is fake news.
I talk to people all day long and I crush them.
I am an excellent debater, a wonderful arguer.
I am down for it.
I love confrontation.
Back to our busy phones, John.
We appreciate you.
Um man, oh man.
Amy in Kentucky.
What's up, Amy?
How are you?
Hey, Sean.
Thank you so much for shaking my call.
Um I just wanted to express my thoughts and prayers for the people of Fort Stewart.
Um, I know they're close-knit community.
I My husband and I just moved there a year from there a year ago.
Um we served there for three years.
Um they're uh you know, they are uh heavy deployed unit, they train hard.
Um so I mean it's kind of shocking that this would happen there, but my thoughts and prayers are there since we were just in that community and I know it pretty well.
Well, uh we share your thoughts and your prayers, and if there's any good news out of today, it doesn't seem like anyone was severely injured, nobody's dead, and the person responsible has been captured.
Uh if we have any more updates, we'll bring it to you.
Amy, you have a good heart, I can tell.
Uh let us go to let me see here.
Steven uh the United Socialist Utopia of Gavin Newsom out in California.
Hi.
Hi, Sean.
How are you today?
I'm good, sir.
What's on your mind?
Uh I got a bunch of stuff with your uh screen uh shout out to Linda, by the way.
And if you ever want to take a vacation, you need someone to sit in for you, I'll take the job.
Uh I occasionally um mostly listen to you online because I'm in the car and you're and your radio show.
Uh really miss your show with Alan Combs.
May God re rest in peace.
Uh he was a good man.
There's no doubt about it.
I love that show.
I love the count porter for count pointer for count or count, and that's how I I can get my information.
Uh real quick though, I listened to your discussion with uh Bill O'Reilly uh about uh company men uh me and you are always mentioning uh defund the police and uh public grocery stores and all of that stuff.
And I wish at the same time you would also talk to uh to your viewers about his uh anti-Semitism views.
I think that'd be Oh, I've talked about it many times and his refusal to condemn the call for global anthropata, which is holy war against Jewish people.
We talk about it all the time.
We also talk about how Democrats won't condemn him.
Anyway, my friend, appreciate the call.
