Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right, Leonard Skinner's simple man that can only mean one thing on this radio program.
That's all things self-proclaimed, simple man that means all things uh Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
Big congratulations to Bill, as his new book has shockingly, not just kidding, debuted at number one on the New York Times list, uh, talking about the killers.
Uh we'll get to that in a second.
Um, we do have obviously our top story of the day.
Uh we had three people shot, one of whom was killed in a shooting at this ice facility in Dallas, Texas.
Uh the shooter died due to self-inflicted wounds.
If you're just joining us, Senator Cruz rightly saying politically motivated violence is wrong.
You know, here we are two weeks to the day that Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
Uh White House demanding that Democrats stop demonizing ice after these deadly attacks.
And this is the same Dallas ICE facility that was targeted, you know, with bomb threats only weeks before.
And we reported on that.
And uh, you know, it goes back to a story that we covered, you know, uh earlier in the week when I had Christy Nome on the program, and that has to do with with Gavin Newsom, the California governor.
And she blasted Newsom for posting a really menacing warning to her online.
She's gonna have a bad day.
I mean, what who does that as an elected official?
What does that mean?
A bad day.
Uh and you know, further goes on and signs a bill on Saturday.
You know, this is the day of Charlie Kirk's burial.
Uh and he is demanding in California, it's not constitutional.
We have something called the supremacy clause.
Now, since Charlie's assassination, you know, my relationship with Gavin Newsom has been well, let's just say rather complicated.
And um, I don't know what it was, but after the debate, as I said in the last hour with Ron DeSantis, I don't know, it was he just got more hostile and more hostile, and I gave as much as he did and back and forth.
And after Charlie was assassinated, you know, I basically said, This has got to stop.
This is madness has got to stop.
And we had actually a a thoughtful conversation on text.
I'm not going to reveal what he said, but I'm gonna reveal then the next day the the comments were made public what he said about Christy Dome.
And then the bill was signed that ice agents can't wear masks in California, which again, I would argue is unconstitutional.
And I will tell you what I wrote him.
I said, Do you not understand the moment we are living in?
How your comments about Christie are interpreted, how you are making ice agents vulnerable to attacks.
I wrote, again, I wrote this on Saturday.
If God forbid something happens, dot dot dot dot dot.
Seriously?
I've been trying to be a friend to you, but you're making it impossible.
I can't understand this.
And then he had sent me an article about how, you know, how great he is, and he's fighting back against the powers that be.
And I said a validation from a left-wing article makes you feel better about yourself.
And that's a problem also.
I guess I just have to give up, you know, thinking I could or trying to help you.
This is a moment to rise to the occasion.
Why would you go the other way?
And then, you know, he follows through on Colbert last night attacking me.
Listen.
We're not as humorous as we should be.
Yeah, yeah.
And so we thought we'd have some fun with it, but I never imagined it would break through like it has and get under the skin of the president of the United States and some of my friends.
Some of your friends, who are these friends?
Who are these friends?
Some of us uh and some of my friends on uh on uh you know, Pravda uh Fox.
Yeah, but it wasn't even Dana was it was Hannity, all these guys, outraged, offended, disgusted because we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity uh of what's going on in this country, the absurdity of Donald Trump, the absurdity of these networks.
You know, and I've been going after him on Twitter with the things that he's failing to do in California.
You know, like why doesn't he focus on empty fire hydrants and empty reservoirs and giving new building permits, you know, nine, ten months later for the nearly thirteen thousand people that lost homes in the state of California in part because of the failure of California government or fixing the massive budget deficit uh because a lot of the money goes to Medical to pay for health care for illegal immigrants and a lot of other services for illegals in that sanctuary state and all their sanctuary cities.
Highest taxes in the country, how do you still run a deficit deficit?
Or the explanation for the mass exodus at California or the failure of quality of life issues and homelessness and you know all the crime that has taken place.
Defund dismantle.
You know, you know, he's he's too busy being, you know, a podcaster governor, too busy being Tweety Bird governor, and he's not getting anything accomplished for people.
And now this.
Bill O'Reilly, like your reaction to it.
It's it's heartbreaking.
I I do believe there's a dehumanizing impact when you call people Nazi fascist racist every single day.
Sick people believe it.
Well, uh, I don't think there's any doubt about it.
If you believe the uh family of the alleged assassin of Charlie Kirk, they testified that they watched their son uh deteriorate mentally because he was consuming the hatred on the dark web.
That's direct testimony from people who were there and knew what was happening to this uh young man who then took the life of Charlie Kirk.
So that's in stone.
You can't argue yes or no.
Uh cause and effect is subjective, but this isn't.
But I'm surprised, Hannity, that you're so naive about Gavin Newsome.
I'm surprised.
He's running for president.
That's what he's doing.
He can't run on his record in California.
There's nothing he can point to under his oversight that's worked.
Nothing.
So he has to campaign on Trump is the devil, and by extension, Hannity and Fox News are the devil's disciples.
That's it.
There's no more to it than that.
I just, you know, I I don't think there's going to be any hope.
I think that this is uh he's not understanding the moment that we're in, Bill.
I mean, when we now are living in an assassination culture.
I hope I'm wrong.
I I I worry that we're not at the end of it.
I mean, we've lived through these these times before.
You've written extensively on a lot of these topics.
You've written about killing Kennedy.
You know, we know what happened to Martin Luther King Jr., we know about what happened to Ronald Reagan when he they tried to assassinate him.
They tried to assassinate Trump twice.
They tried to assassinate Steve Scalise and others on a ball field.
I mean, this this culture is now very, very real and getting worse.
And I I do believe that the rhetoric is so out of control, and it's by the Democratic leadership.
That's the scary part.
There's no argument here that the radical progressive left of which Newsom is a part, and he'll try to distance himself later.
You wait and see.
But he's a part of that cabal.
Um uses hatred to chin up support.
No doubt in history uh we've seen this uh over and over and over again, and that is one of the deficits of a free society, because they can use the First Amendment as a protection for their uh explosive speech.
But Newsom doesn't really care about you or what's true and what isn't true.
He's not gonna try to improve its state because it's too late.
He blown it totally.
Um, and the only hope he has to become president is to whip up um enough votes that are fearful or angry about the opposition party.
That's it.
He's got no other other avenue.
He's got to do it, and he will do it.
Okay, so he's running for president, and so he's gonna be reckless and he's gonna be irresponsible.
Uh, And I guess every other radical democrat will too.
And maybe that will get them the nomination.
Maybe.
I don't think it gets them the general election.
I don't think that that I don't think that is a strategy works.
Um it depends on the economy.
But you've noticed that uh Kamala Harris is out peddling a book, and thank God my book's outselling her.
Um she is considered by the progressive left a failure.
And a couple of people on CNN said that last night.
She's a failure.
And we need a strong man in the image of Donald Trump.
That's what the progressive left is selling now.
We need our Trump, our version of Trump.
And that's Gavin Newsom.
That's why he's doing what he's doing.
The other Democrats in contention, uh, the governors of Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Maryland, they're not at that level.
Schumer tries, but it's it's ridiculous.
Like, you know, your grandfather coming in going, I don't the turkey's too dry.
Okay, Chuck.
Um, but Newsom is energy, he's a younger guy, and that's what he's gonna traffic in.
Um he's gonna take the Trump playbook and turn it around against the Republican Party.
That's what he is going to do.
All right, quick break.
More with all things Simple Man Bill O'Reilly, his number one New York Times bestseller just out confronting evil, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country, more with uh O'Reilly on the other side than your calls coming up.
It's 800 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.com, including his now number one latest New York Times best selling book, confronting evil.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country.
What is your take on the issue of Kimmel and his return?
And there are some affiliate uh stations, some sixty of them, Sinclair and Next Star, for example, that have not gone on board and and they're not replaying the show as of yet.
I imagine that probably will change.
Um I didn't find his crocodile tears particularly compelling to me.
Um I don't think he understands the moment that we're living in.
Uh and I I I think everything really comes down to TDS, Trump derangement syndrome, and then that's simply it.
I disagree.
It comes down to Disney hating Donald Trump.
That the hierarchy of Disney hates Trump, hates the governor of Florida, DeSantis, you saw that big mess down there.
They are looking in Burbank, California.
They are the most progressive entertainment company in the history of this country.
And Kimmel is playing to that.
Now, Next Star will reinstate the Kimmel program uh either Friday or Monday, because it's under pressure from ABC to do so.
They have a contract with ABC to carry certain amount of shows.
But Next Star and Sinclair had guts because their audience, the people who watch in the cities owned by those uh companies, the ABC affiliates, were furious with Kimmel.
That's why Kimmel got suspended because of the folks.
It had to do with a popular outcry against the man.
Now, I don't care whether Kreml's on or not.
I think you agree with me.
It doesn't matter to us.
We'll watch, we don't watch, whatever you want to do.
He wasn't successful before this all happened.
Uh now he'll bump up a little for two weeks and he'll go back to normal.
He's not gonna do two million a night, which is crazy, but he won't.
Um but the whole story has been upside down, and this is incredible to watch because it isn't about Jimmy Kimmel's freedom of speech.
It's about Jimmy Kimmel's responsibility to tell the truth.
You can't just go on and lie on a nationwide broadcast sponsored by ABC uh Disney.
And that's what he did, implying that MAGA was behind the assassination of Kirk.
And it's not a free speech thing.
It's you just can't do that.
Uh because that's not in the public interest.
That's why the feds got involved.
Um the real story is that Disney, ABC, NBC, CNN, and MS won't put on any non-liberal voices on their program.
None.
That is a violation of freedom of expression.
That's Putin stuff.
And that's what they've been doing ever since Donald Trump got into the political arena.
If you don't hate him, we will not give you airtime.
And that's documented.
For three years, Kimmel has not had one, not one conservative or traditional honest broadcast.
I used to, I was on Kimmel five times.
I never had trouble getting booked on there because the ratings would go up and my books are number one.
And why wouldn't you put me on?
You wouldn't put me on now, and neither will the others.
You don't get invited.
Levin doesn't get invited.
Nobody gets invited, no matter how successful you are in the non-liberal precincts of the media.
You cannot get on those shows on those networks.
And that is a total blackout.
That is your violation of freedom of expression.
Bill O'Reilly, all things simple man, and don't forget his new book, Confronting Evil, number one New York Times bestseller.
Congratulations, sir.
Appreciate it.
Thank you for your time.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Well, I guess in light of what happened today, is we had three people shot, one killed uh in the shooting at this ICE facility in Dallas, Texas, as we've been telling you that, you know, anti-ICE messages were found on the shooters' rounds in this deadly attack.
Uh little bit eerie in terms of a little copycatish, at least it seems to me, in terms of this is what Charlie Kirk's assassin did.
Um, and then this guy took his life.
Uh anyway, it does raise the issue, and this is something I've been arguing now for a long time, of the dehumanization that is going on.
And you know, it was interesting as Kamala kicked off a book tour.
I said, Oh, here we go.
Let's go right back to the same closing arguments that failed her spectacularly in her campaign.
And that is racist, Nazi, fascist, Hitler, Stalin Mussolini, and then the attacks on IC.
We do have laws in this country.
We have anywhere between 12 and 20 million, maybe more.
We don't know.
Unvetted Biden Harris illegals that have come into this country.
We do know among them are known terrorists, but we don't know where they all are.
We have murderers as Lake and Riley's family, as Jocelyn Nungarry's family, Rachel Morin's family, and the and the dozens and dozens of other families that have lost loved ones.
And then we have, of course, you know, people that have been raped, other victims of violent crime.
We have known cartel members in the country, known gang members in the country, drug dealers in the country, you know, killing Americans every day.
And that all happened on their watch.
Donald Trump ran on a platform to get rid of people that did not respect our our laws, border and sovereignty.
And starting with getting rid of criminal illegals.
Now the immigration services has announced the DHS announced, and nearly two million people because Donald Trump incentivized them, self-deported.
They'll have an opportunity to come in legally as a result.
And yet they ICE is doing their job.
Anyway, let's listen to some of the Democrats and what they have said over and over and over and over and over again about ICE.
Listen.
Do you condemn the attacks on ICE agents?
What attacks and ICE agents?
And I'm going to start with the flashing red light.
Donald Trump's modern-day Gisco Descapo is scooping folks up off the streets.
And another 30 billion dollars to hire and train ICE agents who have functionally become a secret federal police force with expanding domains.
All of these dollars being redirected towards inhumane abductions and illegal deportations.
Mayor, just To clarify, are you comparing ICE?
You said to NSC 131, the neo-Nazi group.
Are you comparing them to a neo-Nazi group?
What I said is that Boston police and no police department that I know of at the local level routinely wears masks.
We have ICE ICE federal agents pulling up, terrorizing our communities, hopping out of unmarked vans, stealing, and yes, kidnapping people, not giving them their day in court, and yes, human trafficking them to other nations, other countries around the entire world.
Shoot at ICE agents on site.
That's right.
If ICE agents are trying to take you or a loved one, shoot them on site.
When I see ICE, I see slave patrols.
175 billion dollars in the bill that was just signed to reinforce the ranks of ICE, homeland security for what is increasingly becoming a private army for Donald Trump.
I talked about what terrorism looks like.
This is it.
There should be no question to what our country would look like had the Confederacy won.
I have used that same terminology that it is akin to the brown shirts.
It's it's about creating your own personal army.
It really amounts to hunting people that look like they're Latino.
It's hard to get your car washed in LA now.
Why?
Because they prey on car washes.
We've asked for the public to be ready with your iPhone and any way that you can to record what's going on in their neighborhoods by ice because we think that's the best way to demonstrate uh what ICE is doing if they're doing something wrong, or to keep them honest.
Washington, D.C. is dispatching masked agents to abduct immigrants from our streets.
That is not justice, it is cruelty.
And it is criminal.
They're operating just as of Nazi thugs and Gestapo officials were you know were conducting back in the 40s during World War II.
I just want to say finally, um, go birds, um ICE and free Palestine.
Thank you.
There we go.
F Ice and Free Palestine.
Gestapo, secret police, brown shirts, Nazis, hunting people.
I I mean, I it just you can't make it up.
Jeff is in Ohio.
Jeff, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Uh, good afternoon, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
I'm doing well on you.
So I wish uh I honestly I I don't love doing these shows that we've been doing.
I would rather just have you know civil political debate, but it's impossible with with when you listen to the likes of that.
Yeah, uh I had this question before I even heard what happened in Dallas, and a lot of my questions stems from personal experience.
I was a lawmaker in my client for a while, had this responsibility still on my shoulders, and so my question goes to what's just happening in California and around the country.
Aren't lawmakers responsible and can be held accountable civilly if they create laws either for or even don't act and people get hurt.
We had a situation locally where we had a problem with our police department, and we were forced to do something to protect the citizens.
They actively accused us of not doing that and were threatening civil action against the council people that were on the that were in charge.
Wouldn't that apply the same way, even though it's just a larger form of government when they're actively and knowingly putting these people in harm's way by doing such a law?
It's just so reckless and irresponsible from so-called leaders.
And and the the reality is if you go back under Biden Harris Mayorchis, they lied to us.
And and we saw what was happening.
We chronicled it.
The rest of the legacy media mob didn't tell you the truth.
You know, for those that complain that sometimes I'm repetitive, it was a story that kept evolving daily.
And it was a story about how they our borders were wide open, and we were letting in all these unvetted illegals from God knows where, over 200 countries.
And then, you know, when they commit crimes, like states like California, they they don't keep statistics on how many crimes are committed, murders are committed, rapes are committed, violent crimes committed by by Biden Harris illegals.
They don't.
They give them, you know, full Rights, driver's licenses, and you know, Medical.
They make the taxpayers pay for that, then they wonder why they're going broke.
It's just it's just sad.
And then they attack agents.
I am telling you this Nazi, fascist, racist, Hitler, Stalin Mussolini.
It has a dehumanizing impact, especially on crazy people.
I'm not blaming Democrats for what people do.
I am blaming them for whipping up people's minds into a frenzy with these with these incendiary comments that are non-stop.
And it is having a horrific impact on society.
I didn't pull the trigger, but they're enabling the laws and creating the laws to make it okay to do so.
Yeah.
Anyway, Jeff, I appreciate your call.
Very thoughtful.
Uh, we'll stay at Ohio.
Bill is next.
Hey, Bill, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Sean, thank you for taking my call, and it's an honor to get to talk to you.
I think Vivek is going to be a really good governor for you guys.
I'm pretty sure he'll win.
Yes.
Hey, I wanted to make a comment about Charlie Kirk and the whole situation there.
It seems like when things are taken from us, then we want it more.
Or when the government tries to take something from us, then we want it more.
Just like in the 90s when they gave us the assault rifles being.
Well, then everybody I know now, just every about every home in Ohio now has an assault rifle because the government wanted to take them from us.
You take Charlie Kirk from us, and what the liberals, what they didn't realize, what they've done is they've planted a seed.
And what's going to happen is you take one Charlie Kirk from us, we're going to have a thousand Charlie Kirks pop up.
I have a preacher friend who called me from Ashland, Kentucky, and he said, Bill, he said there's a millionaire up here.
And he's told from the high schools to the junior highs, tech colleges to the colleges.
He told him, he said, if you guys, anybody that wants to speak Christian conservative values, I'll buy your PAs, I'll buy the equipment, I'll buy the things you need.
And he goes, I'll see that you get started.
As 172 people, like five days ago, this is going to escalate and it's going to keep going and it's going to keep growing.
There's there's no stopping it.
Sean, people are talking about it everywhere.
And I just wanted to leave a comment here, like Romans 828.
All things work together for good to them that love God, those who are called according to his purpose.
Charlie Kirk was called according to his purpose.
And he preached it.
And the conservative, Sean, you're called according to his purpose.
A lot of men, a lot of women out there speaking, that are they're trying to hush this country up, but it's just going to grow.
The seeds, Charlie Seed is going to grow a thousandfold.
You know, we we all are spokes in a wheel.
I don't think any one of us is more important than the other.
And I mean that even when when it comes to presidential election, sure, I have a microphone and a camera, and I I try to as effectively as possible, let people know what's what's on the line during elections, and and talk about the issues of our time.
And I've no problem letting alternative voices on this show.
And we've done it many, many times.
I have not seen this in my lifetime.
It is a level of vitriol.
It is a level of they're irrational.
They are radical.
They are extreme.
They are triggered at a level I've never seen before.
And it is nonstop every second, every minute, every hour of every day.
You know, 20, you know, seven days a week, 52 weeks of the year.
It is it is non-stop.
You can't have a rational discussion.
It's a it's a battle for the heart, soul, and future of the country.
And it's uh, you know, I'd rather be in the arena of ideas.
I I preferred to be civil, but it's kind of hard to be civil with somebody that's calling you a Nazi every day.
I've been called every name in the book in the course of my life.
Um anyway, I do appreciate your kind words, and Bill, God bless you.
You're not you are not what is wrong with this country.
All right, quick break, we'll come right back, we'll continue, we'll get to more of your calls coming up 800, 941 Sean as we continue.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Music Let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Sean in Connecticut, next on the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey Sean, how are you?
Hey, Sean, thanks for taking the call.
First, uh my heart goes out to those affected in Dallas.
And for you personally, I just want to uh give my condolences.
Uh the loss of a friend.
We lost somebody we followed, but I know you lost a friend.
Um I want to touch on probably I'm probably not too probably not a popular opinion amongst conservatives, but I myself did not celebrate the canceling of, or the temporary canceling anyway, of Jimmy Kimmel.
Uh, because I looked at, and I'm not a Jimmy Camel fan at all, but I looked at someone who celebrated uh the loss of employment of a Tucker Carlson, the one that said uh very disparaging things about those that were unvaccinated, uh, like they should not be allowed in hospitals.
And I more wanted from the standpoint of pointing out the hypocrisy of the left.
And when I say the left, I mean uh the Hollywood left that celebrates uh when when our conservatives' ideas are shut down, um uh how they you know how they act, how they you know see themselves.
And I see if we could be the ones that I hate to take these words, but I mean, when they go low, we go high.
And I understand first of all, his words were not protected by uh the First Amendment.
He was not persecuted for those words, but he you know ABC Disney has the right to cancel.
Um I just don't he was canceling himself.
When you lose 72% of your core audience, you're canceling yourself.
And I this show has never called for anyone to be canceled, fired, boycotted, as people have done to me many, many, many, many times throughout my career.
Uh Linda can tell you many a Saturday.
I would text her, Important Call Me, because we had to deal with you know the latest uh attack on this show and and my ability to do this show.
Um but i it's i I have no problem.
I didn't never celebrated it, but it's inevitable.
