If you want to be a part of the program, it's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to join us, we are broadcasting.
We are live in our nation's capital.
It's such a pleasure to leave 70, 71, 72-degree weather to make it up to the freezing cold.
And I haven't seen snow all year.
And as we're landing today, I turn to Sweet Baby James, who's sitting next to me.
I go, oh, look, there's snow on the ground.
How beautiful.
I miss it so much.
And then you get off the plane and you're walking through that little, you know, whatever you call it.
And it's like, oh, it's so nice.
I feel so alive in that cold weather.
I really miss it so much.
What are you looking at?
What?
You know what?
Sweet Baby James is laughing as you and Sweet Baby.
Yeah.
Walking in the snow.
Walking in the snow.
Listening to your translation.
Oh, we're going to get into this later, Cliff.
I'm crashing you through into the Northeast.
Well, I want to know what Bill O'Reilly's favorite music is.
We'll have to ask him that question.
I can only imagine, I'm certain, you know, it's something bizarre.
I could just, that's my best guess.
I don't know for sure.
Maybe we'll do a poll later.
I don't know.
After we have him on see, we'll see where he votes.
We'll put yours, Burl Ives, you know, Christmas music, Holly Jolly.
We have done this poll.
I kicked your left.
He did not kick my ass because you fixed the polls.
You're in charge.
I don't have any access to my website.
All right, enough of this nonsense.
Stop by humba.
Holly Jolly, Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells.
I prefer music that, look, it's great for kids.
Let me just stop and make a delineation here.
If you got a lot of kids.
I'm young at heart.
What can I say?
No, you're not young at heart.
You're like an old woman at heart.
You're absolutely the opposite of young at heart.
You know, angry, trying to piss me off before every show.
It's unbelievable.
If people only knew, well, you got to get layoff Linda.
I'm like, no, Linda's a, she just purposely pokes the bear every day in the hopes of pissing me off because she thinks I'll do a better show.
And I am already pissed off in a way because I'm furious with Brown University, which is where we're going to start today.
A couple of things coming up, not only O'Reilly, but Maria Karina Machado is going to join us.
Now, she basically kicked Maduro's ass in the last election, and she is now living in exile.
She won the Nobel Peace Prize.
She's the woman that won the Nobel Peace Prize and said, I don't deserve it.
It really belongs to Donald Trump.
And we're talking about this today because Trump has declared Venezuelans' regime a foreign terrorist organization and ordered an oil tanker blockade.
He's bankrupting Maduro.
Maduro's going to have to make a decision probably sooner than later, and that is to leave if he wants to ever see the light of day.
And the president's serious.
We see that he's been taking out these narco-terrorists left, right, and sideways.
I don't have a clock in front of me.
Why do I not have a clock?
Not sure.
I don't see it.
No, it's not working.
And so Maduro's regime is in jeopardy right now.
They are a foreign terrorist organization.
The sad tragedy is, and I'm sure that Maria will talk about this, is Venezuela has so much in terms of natural resources.
It could be one of the richest nations on the face of the earth.
If Iran, for example, was not run by radical Islamists and Ayatollahs and people that spend every penny they have on buying missiles and building missiles and weaponry to destroy Israel and the West, they could be, I mean, we're talking about the old Persian Empire here.
They could be one of the richest countries on earth.
And this is the sad part about evil is it just it's destructive each and every way where it goes.
It just is horrible.
I will tell you what I'm seeing.
And by the way, again, the president's going to address the nation tonight.
That address takes place at 9 o'clock.
We will have it for you live.
It's from the White House.
It is not your typical President Trump address.
This is going to be a formal address.
And if I had to guess, the president is going to give a progress report, all that he inherited and what he's been able to do, the achievements that he's made in a year.
I will tell you they are historic.
And the funny thing is, I know for many people, he wears them out.
He is, this man lives, eats, breathes, sleeps his job.
That's what he does.
And if he's playing golf, I've never, ever in my life witnessed anybody that can sweep through 18 holes of golf in under two hours, sometimes in an hour and a half.
I mean, it's the most remarkable experience.
I did play with him once in this first term.
It is the most, because I don't have time to play golf.
I work too much to play golf.
And I was pretty decent.
I remember the first three holes I outdrove him.
And he's like, he looked at me and he goes, hockey player.
I said, yeah, I've been a hockey player.
He goes, you swing like a hockey player.
And hockey players usually can drive the ball pretty well because I had a great slapshot.
So long story short, I outdrove him, but not by a lot, but like 10, 15 yards.
And I could tell it was pissing him off.
Now, you cannot beat this man short game.
I watched him drain three in a row, 30-foot-plus putts.
I've never seen anything like it.
And he just, you know, gets up there, boop, doesn't even have like what would be the picture-perfect putt putting swing.
Now, a swing is just every ball is in play.
Every ball is in the fairway.
You know, he has, he's a great at this short game.
He's, he's, he's pretty much a scratch golfer.
And people say, oh, he's cheating.
No, he's not cheating.
I watched it.
I played with him.
And the funny part is, is both sides of the fairway are lined with Secret Service agents.
Now, imagine this.
You're standing next to the president of the United States and you have a golf club in your hand.
How many red dots had to be on the back of my head with me standing next to him with a golf club in my hand?
That's all I could think about.
And they've got like, they got vehicles that can withstand IEDs.
They've got ambulances.
They got operating rooms and golf carts.
It's like the most, it's incredible.
If you've ever seen the presidential motorcade, and I got when we were in the Gulf States and we went on that trip, I got to riding the beast on one leg.
And it's the most incredible thing in the world.
The doors, I mean, it's like a foot thick.
It is incredibly thick and can withstand unbelievable amounts of firepower to protect the president, which is the right thing to do.
And I don't care if you're a Democrat or a Republican.
Oh, Hannity, you say that.
You don't mean that.
I'm like, yeah, actually, I do mean it.
And that's the way it should be.
Look, we live in a very violent society.
I don't care what your politics are.
You got to protect people.
And this gets now brings me into why I'm so angry at Brown University.
Now, keep in mind, this is a university that has openly embraced DEI wokeism at the highest level.
You know, they had a memo that they put out where they're talking about ways to stop spending money, but yet they want to spend more money on DEI.
I read this and I'm like, you got to be kidding me.
And so it is inexcusable to me.
And the president even picked up on this and weighed in on this too.
You would think, now, at my house, for example, and you all know I have simply safe home security.
They have AI security cameras.
They are now affordable for most Americans if you want to get a couple of cameras around your house, one or two or three, whatever you need.
Me, I've got a million, and it has facial, it has facial recognition.
In other words, like it can see me and it knows that I'm safe in my own house and people that are regular people that come at my house, like sweet baby James, facial recognition.
Then I will get alerted.
I have it around the whole perimeter of my house.
It is inexcusable that a university in this day and age, especially one with an $8 billion endowment, they didn't have AI, up-to-date, latest technology, security cameras covering every square inch of that campus.
And by the way, I would include inside of every classroom that's being monitored by live agents 24-7.
The fact that at this late date, what is it, five days later, we don't have a facial recognition picture and acknowledge who this person is, it's unforgivable.
President Trump slammed Brown for saying they have so few security cameras.
This gunman remains on the run, killed two people, injured nine on campus.
And he posted on Truth Social, focusing squarely on the absence of usable surveillance footage from the engineering building where the shooting unfolded.
Why did Brown University have so few security cameras?
And the cameras they have suck.
They're not even updated AI, high-resolution, you know, cameras that not only, you know, you can literally, like on my phone, I could look right now.
I'm in Washington, D.C.
I could look at any part of my property and I could zoom in on any part of my property right now.
I'll show Linda in a break.
And anyway, so the president, you know, rightly is angry.
And, you know, it's just unfortunate.
Here's another horrible thing that's happened.
The FBI has sent in, and I talked to a number of FBI sources, very high ranking, and they have confirmed to me that they have sent in their top people from around the entire country that they have come in to Providence, Rhode Island.
And I know Rhode Island really well.
As a matter of fact, I know Brown University well because there's a street that's well known, kind of iconic in the area called Benefit Street.
And when I lived there in the 80s, you know, and I had a contracting business, I was doing remodeling work on Benefit Street.
I did.
I would rehab these homes.
Remember, these are like old New England style homes.
They don't have regular plaster.
I mean, when you took the walls down, they had old horsehair plaster.
They used to put real horsehair, you know, in their combination, and then they had these lats instead of, you know, wallboard, and you just would fill them that way.
And now, you could go through the very arduous, difficult job of skim coating the wall, or you could just start from scratch and rip down the horsehair plaster and the lats and then put up wallboard and modernize it, which was the better way, but some people went for the cheaper option, which is skim coating.
I know, it shows that I know a lot about my business of contracting.
Anyway, the attorney general is warning that speculation about Brown University shooter, and there's been a lot of online chatter, a lot, and a lot of speculation.
I'm just warning everybody right now, pay attention to it, but don't believe it all.
And even the attorney general.
But the worst part of this, they are allowing local police and campus security to run the lead on it because there's no known federal offense at this time.
The feds don't have authority to go in and take over.
Now, if you're in Rhode Island and your kid goes to Brown University, who do you want leading that investigation?
I think I take Kash Patel and Dan Bongino's FBI with our top FBI people working on it over local law enforcement and campus security.
Because then I begin to think, you know, bad things are going to happen.
Anyway, I just think there's no excuse for this.
And the fact that, you know, as time goes on, it gets more and more difficult.
Now, I do know this.
The FBI is not laying back.
They're not taking it lightly.
And the FBI has just basically on their own decided, okay, we're just going to run our own parallel investigation.
And when you're ready for the adults to take over and take charge, we'll do it.
Anyway, so we'll get to that.
We did have a lot of feedback on this Christmas song thing.
I can't believe it.
Why does everyone care about Christmas songs?
It's not that they care about our songs.
It's that they're so depressed because the world is on fire.
The world is always...
The world...
Well, okay.
It's big.
But the world is always on fire.
If we're going to be honest, it's always bad.
There's always evil in this world.
There always has been evil in the world.
And I wish it wasn't so.
At a max level, I think.
But, you know, your desire, your kids aren't young anymore.
And the idea that you want to do holly jolly jingle bells, Santa Claus is coming to town.
You know what?
Frosty the snowman.
Play them all the time and all the kids.
Over Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Rush Introduced to the World, Mannheim Steamroller.
He really put them on.
That's real Christmas music.
Maybe we'll go back if you want to call in.
Which one do you prefer?
I don't know.
I'm just.
All right, we'll do a little holly jolly after.
I don't know what to make of this, except that it's so heart-wrenching, but we have more details about the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle.
And here's the thing.
They have surveillance footage that shows the dramatic moment police vehicles surround the son, Nick Reiner, as he surrenders to law enforcement following the murders of his parents.
He's now, apparently, he was not deemed healthy enough to go before a judge yesterday.
Maybe later this week, we'll have to wait and see.
Anyway, the video taken from a gas station near Exposition Park in L.A. captured Reiner calmly moving through a convenience store in the early morning hours at 5 a.m. local time, the day after his parents were found dead in their Brentwood home.
Moments later, as he walks across the street, all these patrol cars pull up, lights flashing, officers take him into custody.
In the footage, Reiner is seen as raising his hands as officers approach.
And then, of course, you get a lot of the details.
Apparently, they were all at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party.
By the way, where was my invitation?
Did you get invited?
I didn't get invited.
Did you get him?
He's not a comedian.
No, neither is Rob Reiner.
But I mean, it's sad.
It's tragic.
But, you know, and this is not political.
This is a human tragedy.
It just is.
And it is unbelievable.
You know, this kid has been in rehab 17 times.
And everybody that listens to the show right now, I guarantee that you know somebody that has, you know, or somebody or somebody's family or somebody's family member or a friend or a co-worker as a family member addicted to drugs.
You want to know why Donald Trump is going after these narco-terrorists?
For this reason, he is going after them with a vengeance.
And that's why the president is taking out these narco-terrorists.
Oh, everybody, every fisherman has five, 300-plus horsepower outboard engines racing a million miles a second.
Why?
Because they want to catch fish faster?
I've always known fishermen are in a real rush to catch the fish.
By its very nature, if you're a fisherman, one of my best friends is a fisherman.
I had a boat.
I gave him that boat because I can't stand boats.
They're a pain in the neck.
I put the boat in the water every year.
I usually wouldn't use it.
If I did, it was one time.
I'd pull it out.
I'd pay for a million repairs, pay to store it, put it back in the next year.
Same thing.
Went on for years.
It was a Boston Whaler.
What was that thing called?
I forget.
Conquest or outrage?
Yeah, a Conquest 305.
Thank you.
Ethan's a fisherman, right?
You're a fisherman?
I am.
It's a very nice boat.
All right.
And you're on the air, right?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Yeah, I'm on air right now.
Okay, what do you like to go fishing for?
Everything from sea bass, porgies, to tuna.
I fish for any, whatever's biting, I'll fish for.
This is the oddest thing, is that off the coast of Long Island and very close offshore, there's been this influx of bluefin tuna.
Am I wrong about that?
No, no, they come right up to the beaches.
Yeah.
But they never used to, correct?
Yeah, there's a climate change.
You could get them right off of Montauk, right off the shore.
All right, so, okay.
And have you ever caught a tuna?
Yeah, yeah, I've caught tuna before.
How many pounds?
My biggest one is probably about 80 pounds, but I've caught some wabu and nothing.
Did you ever watch Wicked Tuna?
It's barely a keeper.
My biggest fish was a Goliath grouper down in Florida.
And how big was that?
800.
8?
You caught an 800-pound fish?
It came up to the party boat.
You can't keep them.
Well, what good is it?
What's the point of fishing and just taking the hook out and sending a bloody fish back in the water?
It's a protection.
Just so you can take a picture and show your friends online.
I was fishing for other fish.
I happened to cook.
And you just happened to catch an 800-pounder and bring it up to the boat.
Yeah.
Did you get a picture of it?
Yeah, it's somewhere at my back.
Yeah, that means no.
That's another fish.
That sounds like a fishing tail of ever I heard.
This is my fisherman.
I caught a fish this big.
It's so big.
It's bigger than I am, six feet tall.
This is when I first started interning for you when I was like 16.
So it's quite a long time ago.
Man, how many years have you been with me?
March of this next year will be 20.
Oh, my gosh.
Wow.
These years just fly on by.
By the way, we have on the program Maria Carino Machado, who won the Nobel Peace Prize and really beat Maduro in the last election.
Now, the President of Trump declared the Venezuelan regime a foreign terrorist organization.
We'll have fun with Bill O'Reilly today as we head into the holidays.
A couple of other things, and we'll get to your calls here, 800-941-Sean.
Oh, by the way, Miriam Adelson has offered Trump $250 million to run for a third term.
And apparently, Alan Dershowitz is writing a book, and we'll have him on soon about this, that he thinks there's a legal way for Trump to get a third term.
You put that in his head.
He's going to run with that sucker, and he's going to, he loves to take up space in people's minds.
People do not understand Donald Trump.
They're never going to understand him.
They don't want to understand him.
He loves pissing off people and just creating all of the feigned outrage that always surrounds him.
An Obama-appointed judge praised a Biden illegal who raped a woman with cerebral palsy.
Okay, Hannity, you're making that up.
Daily Wire, Obama appointed judge facing mounting backlash for praising an illegal immigrant who raped a woman with cerebral palsy and now could be walking free sooner than expected.
Anyway, this person entered the U.S. illegally seven times, pulled the woman with cerebral palsy, cognitive delays into a laundry room in the apartment building that they lived in, sodomized this woman, raped this woman, and the guy pled guilty to three sex crimes sentenced to six to 15 years in a Michigan state prison.
But the U.S. district judge, his name is Levy, spared the illegal immigrant additional two years in prison, calling him, quote, an ambassador for living up to our immigration restrictions.
He's deported seven times.
What are you talking about?
The judge decided that five months that he spent in the federal custody were enough, and he could now walk free as soon as July of 2028.
Okay, there's something wrong in our country when you have people that are that stupid.
Really something radically wrong.
Zorhan Mamdani's father, Comrade Marxist Mamdani, according to the Jewish forward in New York, a longtime Columbia University professor, father of Zoron Namoron, the new mayor of New York soon, sharply criticized the school leadership and its creation of a task force to address allegations of anti-Semitism.
Students who hold pro-Palestinian views are terrified and terrorized, he said.
Okay, who was terrorized and victims of terror on October 7th?
You know, which group has in their charter the destruction of Israel?
Good luck, New York.
You're not going to have Hannity to kick around.
Hannity's long gone.
Even Chuck Schumer, when I met him, I said, I know you're glad I've been gone a couple of years now.
I never come back.
And he goes, no, I'm not really glad about that.
Meaning, he doesn't think it's good.
Mamdani's first test, raging anti-Semites launching a vicious subway attack on Jewish students.
Two hateful attackers caught on disturbing video threatening to kill a group of young Jewish men on the subway.
You know, they yelled at me and the sun and said, I'll kill you.
And it goes on from there.
This anti-Semitism thing is sick.
What would you want American, our government to do if people were firing rockets, murdering the equivalent of 40,000 Americans in a day?
Would you want them to stop fighting or would you want them to obliterate the enemy?
It's really that simple.
Kyle in Michigan, what's up, Kyle?
How are you?
I'm doing great.
Thanks for taking my phone call, Sean.
Hey, Alder.
To Linda.
I like the classic music, but I have yet to hear a TSO song that I dislike.
They are by far and away the best, in my opinion.
They are, say that again.
Trans-Siberian orchestra.
So, in other words, music like this is by far and away, you believe the best Christmas music out there, just to remind people what it sounds like.
Nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Savior.
He's born on Christmas Day.
I mean, it just takes it to a new level.
Now, if you have young kids and you like ho-ho-ho and holly jolly, and Santa Claus is coming to town, and you know, jingle bells, and Rudolph and Frosty, that's fine for kids.
But if you're asking me as an adult, musical taste, and so they like TSO better anyway.
So exactly.
They're smarter than their parents.
Hey, Sean, can I ask you real quick about the president's speech tonight?
No.
No?
Okay.
No, no, I said, yeah, go ahead.
Oh, okay.
Well, I think he's going to have to talk about affordability.
And I think that, you know, we don't need the salesman.
I think we just need the facts.
He's bringing down fuel prices.
I think that's one of the main things that people look at when they filter gas.
Fuel prices, inflation, interest rates, price of some groceries are down.
But his full economic plan won't take effect till next year.
So I think it's good.
You want me to tell you what I think the speech is, Kyle?
Cut to the chase.
You don't want me to tell you.
I'll tell you if you want me to.
I just think that one of the best things, the best news I've heard is that even Scott Besson has said that rent is starting to come down with a million illegal immigrants gone.
And I think that if we get rid of 20 million immigrants, I think that's going to go a long way to solving the housing affordability issue.
It already is.
I mean, that's another success.
Trillions in manufacturing investment, largest tax cuts in history.
We already see the lifeblood of our economy.
Energy prices are down dramatically, almost in half from Biden's high.
Unbelievable.
And you're going to see no tax on tips, overtime Social Security.
You're going to keep more of your weekly or bi-weekly check, and you're not going to pay the IRS as much as you used to pay them.
How cool is that?
That's good.
All right, Joe in Utah.
What's up, Joe?
Well, Merry Christmas, Sean.
Nice to talk to you.
Well, you can say that here.
We're not a public school.
So Merry Christmas to you, too, sir.
I've been listening to you long enough.
I understand that.
Hey, I just wanted to say that you and Linda are actually both winning this argument.
And, you know, I hate to get between you guys bantering and all, but as much as I love the old stuff and I do like TSO a lot and Mannheim, but we all have to remember there's like 15 Christmas songs with 600 versions of them.
So, I mean, if we listen to one or the other, it get a little redundant.
Look, again, if you have young kids, Holly Jolly, Santa Claus is coming to town.
I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus, whatever it is, jingle bells, Rudolph, Frosty.
That's great for kids.
I like Christmas music to be about Jesus and Christian music.
That's it.
And I love it when it brings me deeper into it, which is what I think the music I like does.
Anyway, appreciate the call.
Merry Christmas, my friend.
God bless you.
Lily in Kansas, I'll give one person that agrees with Linda just for kicks and giggles.
Lily, go ahead.
Hey, Sean.
Love you and Linda.
Thank you for everything that you do in order to enlighten us with what's going on with our country.
Thank you.
We love you for letting us do what we love.
Yeah, I respect your view as far as what you love for Christmas music, but I have to agree with Linda.
I'm 70 years old, and some of the old traditional music, you know, with Ben Crosby, the Andrew Sisters.
The Andrew Sisters, the Andrews, you sound like my father.
This is my Christmas.
Oh, my God.
It's only my Christmas.
But what's really beautiful about it is that all that music brings back of the times that, you know, we didn't have any crime.
We didn't have, you know, children being kidnapped.
Life was so much easier.
It was so much more pleasant.
And when you hear that music, it brings you back to that time that it was.
All right.
I'm not, I'm, I, you're, Lily, God bless you.
I wish you a Merry Christmas, okay?
It's not a public school.
You're free to say it here on this program.
And happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas.
You can say it all.
You know what will be interesting?
I'm going to ask O'Reilly.
He doesn't know it.
I'm going to ask him what his favorite Christmas music is.
That's going to be fun.
By the way, whatever it is, it's going to be weird.
