=== All Things Self-Proclaimed Simple Man (02:53) ===

[00:00:00]  This is an iHeart podcast.
[00:00:02]  Guaranteed human.
[00:00:05]  All right, Leonard Skinner, simple man.
[00:00:06]  That can only mean one thing on this radio program, and that is all things self-proclaimed simple man.
[00:00:12]  That means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things Bill O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
[00:00:18]  And I know it sounds a little nuts, but there's a lot of evil in the world, but it would make a great Christmas gift.
[00:00:24]  I'm sure somebody that likes to read in your life would love Bill's number one New York Times best-selling book, Confronting Evil, Assessing the Worst of the Worst.
[00:00:32]  On page one, there's a picture of me, which kind of pissed me off, but I'm over it at this point.
[00:00:37]  Mr. O'Reilly, sir, how are you?
[00:00:39]  I think you're a force of good, but I also think that there's something wrong with me.
[00:00:45]  What's wrong with you?
[00:00:46]  I'm thinking you're a force of good.
[00:00:49]  No, there's nothing wrong with you because I am a force of good.
[00:00:51]  Now, I have predicted years ago, and you and I have talked about this privately, that at some point in American history, down the line, everybody's going to have their own talk show.
[00:01:05]  Everybody.
[00:01:05]  Yep.
[00:01:06]  And the loons, as you call them, I'll use Bill O'Reilly vernacular word of the day.
[00:01:13]  The loons seem to just be saying crazy Adam Schiff to get clicks.
[00:01:20]  And there are a lot of loons out there, Bill, and some of them claim to be MAGA.
[00:01:25]  And it really pisses me off because they're not MAGA.
[00:01:30]  You know more than anybody that in terms of a conservative commentator who is also a member of the press, yours truly, that I probably was the first to go out there hard for Donald Trump.
[00:01:44]  You remember that time?
[00:01:45]  Yeah, sure.
[00:01:46]  Okay.
[00:01:46]  These are Johnny come lately's.
[00:01:48]  These are, you know, people that are in and out of Trump world, and I have no idea where they really stand in life.
[00:01:54]  I think they stand wherever the wind blows on any given day.
[00:01:57]  Am I wrong, Mr. O'Reilly, sir?
[00:01:59]  No, because these people are all in it for themselves, but not for a greater good or not for the benefit of the country.
[00:02:07]  So I'm not blindly loyal to anybody.
[00:02:10]  My mantra has been for 50 years, A, do the right thing personally.
[00:02:16]  Do the right thing, right?
[00:02:18]  Because people know really what the right thing is.
[00:02:20]  Even if they don't do it, they rationalize.
[00:02:23]  And B, try to help your country.
[00:02:25]  All right, I got two serious topics.
[00:02:27]  Then I got to, I want to find out what Bill O'Reilly's Christmas is like, considering this is our last show of the year before Christmas.
[00:02:34]  All right.
[00:02:34]  So Brown University, here's what pisses me off about this, Bill.

=== Confronting Evil on Campus (10:01) ===

[00:02:39]  Now, you and I over the years, and we've discussed it on the periphery, not too much detail.
[00:02:45]  We have had our fair share of death threats and incidences where we had to, you know, protect ourselves.
[00:02:54]  And so it's just basic common sense.
[00:02:56]  The world is dark and evil, hence confronting evil, your new book, which was number one.
[00:03:02]  And there's a lot of evil in the world.
[00:03:05]  Brown University has an endowment of over $8 billion.
[00:03:10]  They have spent a fortune on DEI programs.
[00:03:14]  Now, most people, it's very affordable to get high-tech AI security cameras with even facial recognition, and you could cover an entire campus relatively inexpensively like Brown University.
[00:03:30]  I've been to Brown University.
[00:03:33]  I've walked on the campus of Brown University.
[00:03:36]  How do you explain they didn't have cameras all over that university and around the perimeter of that university?
[00:03:45]  To me, that's unforgivable because we still don't have a picture of the face, the perpetrator, involved in this terrible incident.
[00:03:52]  Because they have poor leadership at Brown.
[00:03:55]  So in order to have cameras, you have to have a top-notch security force on the campus.
[00:04:02]  I'm sure they do have a security force, but I know it's not top-notch because if it were top-notch, then the leader of the Brown security force would have said, we ought to have security cameras.
[00:04:13]  So it's all about leadership in any of these preventive activities, not just at Brown, but any public place that carnage could occur.
[00:04:24]  You've got to have security, and you have to have people who know what they're doing.
[00:04:28]  Brown, obviously, the president of Brown should resign because he or she, I don't even know who it is, did not do their job.
[00:04:37]  Their main job is to not only educate, but protect their students from a variety of calamities.
[00:04:45]  You have to assume in this day and age, and this is every college campus, that something bad can potentially happen.
[00:04:52]  And you've got to be prepared.
[00:04:54]  And look, I know liberals will disagree with this.
[00:04:57]  I think you need armed security in every building of every school in the country.
[00:05:03]  Now, they could be undercover.
[00:05:05]  I would have metal detectors at every school in the country.
[00:05:07]  You want to stop school shootings?
[00:05:08]  I could stop school shootings.
[00:05:10]  You have retired police, retired military, give them a tax break if they work 15 hours a week.
[00:05:16]  I'm sorry, 15 hours a month every month for like five years, and they don't have to pay taxes, local, state, federal, for the rest of their life.
[00:05:24]  And we can keep every school safe.
[00:05:25]  Good idea or bad idea?
[00:05:27]  Good idea.
[00:05:28]  But remember, all schools, including the private colleges, are independent in the sense that their school boards, their local people elected to those seats, make those decisions.
[00:05:42]  I mean, the same people making the decision that men can play, biological men can play women's sports and go in women's locker rooms, those people?
[00:05:51]  And when you get back from Breg, look at what's happening out in San Diego, where there's a law they're enforcing not to tell parents whether their children are changing their names.
[00:06:06]  Well, that's what Tim Walz wanted to do.
[00:06:08]  He wanted gender-affirming care without parental consents, as though parents are potted plants.
[00:06:14]  Right.
[00:06:15]  You know, I do my YouTube commentary on him, on Walls, who is absolutely racist in the Somali thing.
[00:06:23]  And if people are interested in it, it's youtube.com slash Bill O'Reilly.
[00:06:28]  But I'm going, this is one of the most racist things I've ever seen.
[00:06:33]  And this guy was almost vice president of the United States.
[00:06:38]  I'm more cynical than you, and I don't doubt there is a racial component to it, there's no doubt, but it is institutionalized corruption.
[00:06:46]  But it's even worse than that.
[00:06:49]  You know what it is?
[00:06:50]  He was looking at a massive voting block, and he didn't want to piss them off.
[00:06:56]  And whistleblowers told him every freaking thing that was happening, and he turned a blind eye because he wanted the votes.
[00:07:03]  But after the fact, you would think he would apologize to the people of Minnesota.
[00:07:08]  Are you smoking weed?
[00:07:10]  Seriously, do you think that guy would ever apologize?
[00:07:15]  It's my job to analyze what he's doing.
[00:07:17]  He's blaming white.
[00:07:19]  Bill, you should be laughing.
[00:07:20]  If anybody knew about Bill Orr.
[00:07:21]  Bill O'Reilly doesn't even drink.
[00:07:23]  No, but my job is to analyze what he's doing.
[00:07:26]  And this is my money that the Somalis stole.
[00:07:30]  He's blaming white men for this crime.
[00:07:33]  All right, let me ask you about another topic.
[00:07:35]  I think this is so tragic.
[00:07:37]  I don't care about Rob Reiner's idiotic left-wing radical political views.
[00:07:42]  I just don't care.
[00:07:42]  What happened is horrible.
[00:07:44]  It's terrible.
[00:07:46]  And, you know, here's the problem.
[00:07:50]  And we both have Irish backgrounds.
[00:07:53]  Sure, within your family you had people that were alcoholics because I did.
[00:07:59]  Yeah, I had a grandfather and a cousin okay, so I could name a couple of people in my family that that had the disease, if you will, or had the gene, as some people say.
[00:08:10]  But whatever, everybody listening to this show knows somebody who has had to deal with somebody that has addiction issues either themselves or in their family.
[00:08:18]  It's horrible.
[00:08:20]  This kid was in and out of rehab 17 times and then, when he wouldn't cooperate, they said okay, we're not gonna help you.
[00:08:28]  And then he was homeless like three times.
[00:08:29]  He lived in three separate states Texas, New Jersey and Maine at one point homeless.
[00:08:35]  Um, I don't know what to make of it.
[00:08:38]  I mean, is there a defense there for this kid, for cold-blooded murder?
[00:08:43]  No, he's evil.
[00:08:45]  So you combine evil with uh, constant intoxication and this is gonna happen.
[00:08:52]  It's psychosis.
[00:08:54]  So yes, you feel sorry sometimes for addicted people, substance abusers, but if that person is evil in addition to being an addict, then you really, really have a problem.
[00:09:07]  What comes first?
[00:09:08]  The chicken of the egg?
[00:09:09]  Does all that drug use alter their brain and the chemistry in their brain and and they're inviting evil in every time they get wasted.
[00:09:17]  Yeah, but this, this kid anybody would do that to their parents is just evil.
[00:09:23]  So he's probably born way.
[00:09:26]  But then when you take drugs for 15 years, then you lose all ability to control yourself.
[00:09:34]  So tragic and unfortunately it's too common.
[00:09:37]  All right, i'm gonna move on to a fun topic because uh, we got to make it a little lighter-hearted as we head into the holiday.
[00:09:42]  Absolutely so.
[00:09:43]  For those that are um unaware uh, let me educate you and tell you Bill O'reilly refers to his children.
[00:09:52]  He has two really cool kids, all right as urchins, and they really are great kids and I know his, I know his kids.
[00:10:00]  I have two great kids.
[00:10:01]  I'm blessed beyond what I deserve.
[00:10:03]  And so what does Bill O'reilly do for the urchins?
[00:10:08]  What is the Bill O'reilly christmas like?
[00:10:12]  It's like you seem like a ba humbug kind of guy in real life.
[00:10:15]  Yeah, it's like it was 60 years ago.
[00:10:18]  So I have not changed christmas ritual since I was a boy in Left Town because it was so.
[00:10:28]  Uh, I don't.
[00:10:29]  I hate idyllic, it was.
[00:10:31]  So I hate the word magical.
[00:10:33]  I sound like Drew Barry more.
[00:10:36]  You do.
[00:10:37]  All you have to say is, well, we need a mama and you really go there.
[00:10:40]  I I, but we would go out.
[00:10:43]  Every house was welcoming, all the kids were there, hot chocolate, ods all over the place.
[00:10:51]  Everybody was caroling.
[00:10:53]  That's the way it was in the 1950s and it was so uplifting and everybody was in the same economic circumstance.
[00:11:02]  Talk about affordability, by god.
[00:11:05]  Anyway, I tried to capture that spirit that I knew when I was an urchin.
[00:11:13]  And believe me, I was one.
[00:11:17]  You were like, we would have been best friends as kids because I was probably way more incorrigible than you.
[00:11:23]  Way more.
[00:11:24]  But we weren't nasty or anything like that.
[00:11:27]  We just mischievous is the word.
[00:11:30]  Constantly getting in trouble.
[00:11:32]  I mean, when my poor prison guard mother would say, don't leave this house.
[00:11:35]  And I'd say, at 10 years old, you can't stop me.
[00:11:38]  Not good.
[00:11:39]  No, I would have pitched in cuffs myself.
[00:11:43]  When I was 12 years old, I'd light a cigarette in front of my parents.
[00:11:46]  12 years old.
[00:11:47]  How arrogant is that?
[00:11:48]  I would not have gone over with my father, but my parents smoked.
[00:11:53]  I mean, I'm like, you know.
[00:11:55]  No, no, no, no.
[00:11:56]  But anyway, the question you're raising is people in America respect Christmas more than any other holiday by far, even the 4th of July.
[00:12:08]  And the reason they do is because it brings a sense of calm and goodness.
[00:12:13]  So I wrote Confronting Evil, but I wrote it because I'm more interested in goodness.
[00:12:19]  And this is the time of year when that should descend.
[00:12:23]  So I set up a very simple Christmas taboo in my nice house on Long Island where there's three fireplaces going.

=== Bill's Favorite Christmas Music (13:37) ===

[00:12:33]  There's the greatest Christmas albums going.
[00:12:35]  That's The Carpenters, Johnny Mathis, Nat King Cole.
[00:12:39]  Oh, good.
[00:12:40]  Oh, that is pathetic.
[00:12:43]  I know.
[00:12:44]  The Carpenters.
[00:12:45]  The best.
[00:12:46]  We've only just begun to live.
[00:12:52]  Okay.
[00:12:52]  I've got Bill promised.
[00:12:54]  Please tell me it's better than this rendition.
[00:12:57]  Yeah, well, Henry, he's into it.
[00:12:59]  Dude, Johnny Mathis, the Carpenters?
[00:13:02]  What is wrong with you?
[00:13:04]  Yeah, yeah, I know you're interested in the Eminem Christmas album.
[00:13:09]  Is there such a thing as the Eminem Christmas album?
[00:13:12]  That's what you do.
[00:13:15]  That is not what I do.
[00:13:16]  What am I going to rep?
[00:13:17]  Yo, yo, yo, how you doing this Christmas?
[00:13:20]  Ho, ho, ho.
[00:13:21]  Yo, yo, yo.
[00:13:22]  I mean, what am I supposed to do?
[00:13:26]  I got a real belly laugh out of Bill O'Reilly.
[00:13:28]  That made my year.
[00:13:30]  Yeah.
[00:13:31]  I'll tell you what I'm going to do.
[00:13:32]  I'm going to hold you over through the break, and I'll tell you why.
[00:13:34]  Okay.
[00:13:35]  Because Linda and I have been having a fight, and I'm just going to hold you for like two minutes.
[00:13:39]  I'm going to play you her Christmas music, although you kind of gave me an indication where you're headed with this, which really pisses me off.
[00:13:46]  But, you know, that's private, and it's okay.
[00:13:48]  It's Christmas.
[00:13:49]  I'm in a holly jolly mood.
[00:13:52]  And I just want to see which music you like better will give you a chance.
[00:13:58]  You get to be the deciding vote, okay?
[00:14:00]  On the other side.
[00:14:01]  All things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly, BillO'reilly.com.
[00:14:05]  We'll take a break.
[00:14:06]  We'll come back.
[00:14:06]  We will hit the phones after Bill is the tiebreak vote.
[00:14:10]  Next, 800, 941, Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:14:13]  All right, Bill O'Reilly, I guess it was going to be a tiebreaker, but you know what?
[00:14:17]  I'm not going to let you decide, Mr. O'Reilly.
[00:14:20]  I'm going to actually add your song.
[00:14:23]  I'm going to take one of your Carpenter songs, you know, your favorite Christmas music that you revealed embarrassingly in the last segment, The Carpenters.
[00:14:34]  We've only just begun to live.
[00:14:39]  You sing it.
[00:14:40]  You want to sing it?
[00:14:40]  Go ahead.
[00:14:41]  No, you, you see, Hanity, you are a bar.
[00:14:43]  I think Bill should sing it.
[00:14:44]  Bill, you sing it.
[00:14:46]  I can't.
[00:14:49]  Karen Carpenter is the best female vocalist.
[00:14:53]  She's great.
[00:14:54]  I'm not disagreeing.
[00:14:55]  I just like that.
[00:14:56]  It's sort of like saying you like the, you know, the Osmond family.
[00:15:01]  And Donnie Osmond was a cool guy.
[00:15:02]  I actually met him once.
[00:15:03]  Good guy.
[00:15:04]  I like Donnie and Marie, but if you listen to the pitch and the clarity of tone of Karen Carpenter, there is no one better.
[00:15:14]  No one better.
[00:15:15]  She had a beautiful voice.
[00:15:17]  By the way, that whole life story of hers is so tragic.
[00:15:20]  Yes, it is.
[00:15:21]  All right.
[00:15:22]  This is Bill O'Reilly's favorite Christmas music.
[00:15:25]  Let's play a little of it.
[00:15:29]  From now on, Give yourself a merry Christmas.
[00:15:50]  Make you tight gay.
[00:15:54]  All right, that's Bill O'Reilly's favorite Christmas music.
[00:15:58]  Now, let's play.
[00:16:00]  What's his name?
[00:16:00]  Burl Ives.
[00:16:02]  This is Linda's favorite Christmas music.
[00:16:08]  I don't know if there'll be snow, but have a cup of cheer.
[00:16:14]  Have a Holly and Jolly Christmas.
[00:16:17]  And when you say you have to be a little bit more sick, I need bourbon listening to this.
[00:16:25]  Let's listen to your music.
[00:16:26]  All right.
[00:16:27]  Now, I think the best Christmas music by far, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Mannheim Steamrollers.
[00:16:36]  Listen to this.
[00:16:37]  Just embrace this in your soul.
[00:16:39]  All right, sweet baby James.
[00:17:02]  Who are you voting for?
[00:17:06]  Well, Rush introduced us to Mannheim Steamrollers.
[00:17:09]  You know, the Trans Siberian Orchestra.
[00:17:12]  They're similar, but I mean, they're both great.
[00:17:14]  And Rush did, I mean, he put them on the map.
[00:17:16]  Well, ask Bill, who does it?
[00:17:18]  All right, Bill.
[00:17:18]  So now you have three choices.
[00:17:20]  And let me guess, you're going to stick with your choice.
[00:17:24]  But I'm going to run down the other two if you don't mind.
[00:17:26]  So the Siberian people are communists, so I can't vote for them.
[00:17:32]  Burl Ives is living in some kind of cabin up in the Rainy Lake of Minnesota.
[00:17:39]  So, I mean, I don't know what Holly Golly means.
[00:17:43]  No, it's Holly Jolly.
[00:17:45]  I mean, you're getting deaf in your old years.
[00:17:47]  He hits the golly, too.
[00:17:50]  No.
[00:17:51]  Okay.
[00:17:52]  No.
[00:17:54]  No.
[00:17:55]  Karen Carpenter and everyone listening.
[00:17:59]  Right.
[00:18:00]  I can't believe we got Bill O'Reilly to admit Karen Carpenter is his favorite singer.
[00:18:06]  I mean, that is priceless.
[00:18:08]  You can say Barbara Streisand.
[00:18:10]  She's an excellent.
[00:18:12]  But she belts everything.
[00:18:14]  Everything's belted by Barbara.
[00:18:16]  No way.
[00:18:18]  Karen Carpenter are amazing.
[00:18:23]  Aren't you impressed that I knew a Karen Carpenter song?
[00:18:27]  No.
[00:18:28]  Only just begun.
[00:18:29]  Man of all seasons.
[00:18:30]  You know, people.
[00:18:31]  I'm telling you.
[00:18:32]  You're right about that.
[00:18:33]  Guy, not you.
[00:18:35]  You know a lot about a lot of things.
[00:18:38]  The most important thing you know is that I'm the best guest that you have.
[00:18:43]  Oh, good grief.
[00:18:44]  Is it always got to go right back to you?
[00:18:46]  I mean, this is your favorite time of the week.
[00:18:48]  Admit it, Mr. O'Reilly.
[00:18:50]  You are bored.
[00:18:51]  If you didn't do this show, your life would be a boring, living hell.
[00:18:57]  Well, I don't know about boring, but the latter part might be true.
[00:19:01]  That's true.
[00:19:03]  Mr. O'Reilly, in all sincerity, to you, your children, not the urchins.
[00:19:08]  I don't know.
[00:19:09]  The only parent I know the calls are kid urchins.
[00:19:12]  I want to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas.
[00:19:15]  God bless you and your family in the new year.
[00:19:18]  And I just hope you have a great vacation.
[00:19:20]  And I hope you and Linda do too.
[00:19:21]  You guys deserve the rest.
[00:19:23]  We're not going on vacation together.
[00:19:25]  No, thanks.
[00:19:26]  I need a break.
[00:19:26]  Holly Jolly.
[00:19:27]  No.
[00:19:27]  That's why she's going to be Holly Jolly.
[00:19:29]  She's trying to find Burl Ives and you'll be in Siberia.
[00:19:33]  By the way, I am in the Washington swamp today, Bill.
[00:19:36]  I don't stop working until the year really ends, and the president's given a White House speech tonight.
[00:19:46]  And it starts at 9 Eastern.
[00:19:48]  We're going to carry it on Hannity, and then we'll have full reaction after.
[00:19:51]  I know you'll be watching.
[00:19:52]  I will be.
[00:19:53]  And I appreciate you having me on all year.
[00:19:56]  It means a lot.
[00:19:58]  And we had a great year.
[00:20:00]  And you know what?
[00:20:01]  It's man, these are crazy times we're living in.
[00:20:03]  I'll tell you that.
[00:20:04]  Yeah, but I really, you and Linda have been very kind to me, so I hope you guys really enjoyed the season.
[00:20:09]  Merry Christmas, Bill.
[00:20:11]  Bill, I'm just going to work on your music selections.
[00:20:16]  What's your favorite band?
[00:20:17]  Do you have a favorite band before we go?
[00:20:19]  The favorite band would be the Beach Boys.
[00:20:22]  Oh, my God.
[00:20:23]  Timeless Americana.
[00:20:27]  Timeless.
[00:20:28]  Wow.
[00:20:28]  Wow.
[00:20:29]  Surf in USA.
[00:20:30]  Come on now.
[00:20:31]  All right.
[00:20:31]  We have a whole, we're now opening a whole Pandora's box of material for next year.
[00:20:38]  Mr. O'Reilly, God bless you.
[00:20:44]  Bill on a surfboard.
[00:20:48]  I guess.
[00:20:49]  All right.
[00:20:49]  Bill O'Reilly.
[00:20:50]  Thank you.
[00:20:51]  800-941-Sean.
[00:20:53]  Our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
[00:20:55]  All right, we're going to put a poll on Hannity.com.
[00:20:58]  Whose Christmas music is the best?
[00:21:01]  At the top of the poll, it will be me, Sean Hannity, because it's my show.
[00:21:06]  Then it will be Linda.
[00:21:09]  Then it will be Bill O'Reilly, the Carpenters, and it's going to be, what's his name, Burl Ives or the Trans-Siberian Orchestra?
[00:21:18]  Yeah.
[00:21:19]  So option B, duh.
[00:21:20]  No, option A, me.
[00:21:23]  Yes, I'm going to win.
[00:21:24]  I'm going to win.
[00:21:24]  How much do you want to bet?
[00:21:25]  $1,000.
[00:21:26]  In.
[00:21:28]  Quick break, right back.
[00:21:29]  We'll continue on the other side.
[00:21:31]  Rhonda holding down the fort while I'm up here in freezing cold, the Washington swamp.
[00:21:37]  Although it's not as dangerous as it used to be, there's a discernible difference.
[00:21:42]  She's holding down the fort while I'm away.
[00:21:44]  We're here, obviously, for President Trump's address to the nation during my show, 9 p.m. Eastern tonight.
[00:21:51]  Hope you'll watch, and then we'll have a reaction.
[00:21:53]  Rhonda, I miss my free state of Florida even for one day.
[00:21:57]  Well, I can't blame you for that.
[00:21:59]  It's the best place on earth to live by far.
[00:22:02]  Not even close.
[00:22:03]  I want to say I really appreciate you.
[00:22:04]  And I think I just love you.
[00:22:07]  But the problem I'm having right now with you is the Christmas thing with to have a holly jolly Christmas.
[00:22:16]  My mother used to sing that my mother's gone now.
[00:22:18]  My family's gone.
[00:22:20]  And it just brings me back to my family.
[00:22:22]  And when you get down on that, it's like, wow, where's the peace?
[00:22:25]  Where's the love?
[00:22:26]  Where's the joy?
[00:22:26]  You're in Jesus' Jesus.
[00:22:28]  And, you know, your song is better because it's more Christmassy.
[00:22:31]  But then you make fun of.
[00:22:33]  Well, I mean, Christmas should be about Jesus, not Holly Jolly and Frosty the snowman.
[00:22:38]  It's amazing.
[00:22:39]  The family, though.
[00:22:40]  I mean, everybody has their own opinion, right?
[00:22:42]  I mean, it's fine.
[00:22:43]  You can jingle bellows your way all the way, you know, for your kids and make it all, you know, sunshine, rainbows, and cotton candy.
[00:22:50]  I'm just saying as an adult, I like to be moved by Christmas music that really was about the season and especially how deep Trans-Siberian Orchestra is.
[00:23:06]  Okay, if that's the case, then be about it, you know, and that's okay.
[00:23:09]  I like your song too.
[00:23:11]  Thank you.
[00:23:11]  Thank you for letting me be me and choosing who I really am inside.
[00:23:15]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:23:16]  Thank you for accepting me for who I am.
[00:23:19]  Absolutely.
[00:23:19]  But the point is, the whole point is, is if you're going to be like that, then be like that.
[00:23:25]  Because Linda, man, you bastard, then you call people idiots.
[00:23:27]  It's almost hypocritical, and then you talk about...
[00:23:29]  I'd never call Linda an idiot.
[00:23:31]  No, no, you don't.
[00:23:32]  You never said that.
[00:23:34]  Linda, did I ever say that?
[00:23:35]  No, you.
[00:23:36]  You don't think she was talking about me.
[00:23:37]  She was talking about her.
[00:23:38]  A caller, an idiot.
[00:23:39]  When they hung up, he went, idiot.
[00:23:41]  And I went, you know, I understand.
[00:23:43]  Oh, no.
[00:23:44]  He's doing the Mark Levin impersonation when he does that.
[00:23:47]  Yeah.
[00:23:48]  Get off my phone, you big dope, you idiot.
[00:23:53]  I get it.
[00:23:53]  Okay, so anyway, Sean, I really love and appreciate you.
[00:23:57]  But Linda, you're a little hard on Linda, man.
[00:23:59]  You are.
[00:24:00]  Okay, let me tell you something.
[00:24:01]  Don't ever feel sorry for Linda.
[00:24:03]  Ever.
[00:24:04]  Ever feel sorry for Linda.
[00:24:06]  I'm like brass tacks.
[00:24:08]  I can take it.
[00:24:09]  No, it's not that.
[00:24:10]  That's what it is.
[00:24:11]  Linda, behind the scenes, you know, you hear one Linda, you know, the talk radio, New York, coffee, how you doing?
[00:24:21]  You know, and all the other words she uses.
[00:24:24]  But I'm just telling you, behind the scenes, she is poking and prodding and sticking and trying to piss me off every day on purpose.
[00:24:34]  Most days I succeed.
[00:24:35]  No, you don't.
[00:24:36]  I'm doing pretty good.
[00:24:36]  No, I'm very disciplined.
[00:24:40]  I have an impenetrable shield.
[00:24:43]  All right, Rhonda, God bless you.
[00:24:44]  Merry Christmas, by the way.
[00:24:46]  Bill, New Jersey, Sean Hannity Show.
[00:24:49]  Hi.
[00:24:50]  Mr. Hannity, how are you?
[00:24:52]  I'm good, Mr. Bill.
[00:24:53]  What's going on?
[00:24:55]  Just following up on the whole shriek metal Christmas tunes thing.
[00:24:59]  I was wondering, what's next?
[00:25:00]  Like hip-hop, dingle bells?
[00:25:03]  Oh, we did hip-hop with O'Reilly.
[00:25:06]  Yo, yo, yo, ho, ho, ho.
[00:25:07]  I mean, I don't know.
[00:25:08]  Does that work?
[00:25:10]  Yeah.
[00:25:10]  No, but I just wanted to say, I love Trans-Siberian, Love Mannheim.
[00:25:16]  I love, you know, you see quality musicianship there.
[00:25:19]  But to me, it's about the words and what you're hearing in these songs.
[00:25:22]  That's why I always go back to the great albums that have been done over the years.
[00:25:26]  And my all-time favorite, one of my family's all-time favorite, Nat King Cole, without a doubt.
[00:25:31]  The quality of the production, the way he sings things.
[00:25:34]  No, I mean, okay, you can't match that voice.
[00:25:36]  That voice is amazing.
[00:25:38]  How great was it when his daughter and they did that duet together, Unforgettable?
[00:25:44]  And then they did it together?
[00:25:46]  I mean, was that not one of the greatest remixes of all time?

=== Unforgettable Nat King Cole (01:24) ===

[00:25:50]  And they pull it up.
[00:25:51]  Nothing.
[00:25:52]  If you had a top five list of greatest produced and put out their songs of all time, Unforgettable is one of them.
[00:25:59]  So good.
[00:26:00]  We agree on that.
[00:26:00]  Nat King Cole.
[00:26:02]  Yeah, absolutely.
[00:26:03]  The Nat King Cole Christmas album, just have a listen to it.
[00:26:06]  There's some great uplifting songs, the traditional songs and things like that, but the way he sings, his voice, the words.
[00:26:12]  And, you know, Rush always said words have meaning.
[00:26:15]  Rush was right.
[00:26:16]  We miss him this Christmas season, don't we?
[00:26:18]  I mean, he was the one that introduced the world.
[00:26:20]  I mean, he really put Mannheim's steamroller on the map as far as I'm concerned.
[00:26:25]  Anyway, appreciate you.
[00:26:27]  Where's Unforgettable, Lethan?
[00:26:28]  Where are you slipping?
[00:26:32]  Do you have this is with Nat and his daughter?
[00:26:36]  Just a little turn.
[00:26:37]  Unforgettable.
[00:26:42]  That's what you are I'm so near I mean, what's amazing, I mean, she cut that after her father had passed away, and they put this together like they're singing in a duet.
[00:27:05]  It's beautiful.
[00:27:06]  Just amazing.
