Speaker 1 (00:27):
All right, Letard skin a simple man that can only
mean one thing on this radio program. That's all things.
Self proclaimed simple man that means all things Bill O'Reilly,
all things Bill O'Reilly or Bill O'Reilly dot com. Mister O'Reilly, sir,
always a pleasure. I have a question. You're a smart guy.
You understand the political winds and shifting winds and and
(00:52):
the left in this country probably as well as anybody.
Can you explain to me why you have Senator Van Holland,
and then four other congress people and now a bunch
of Democratic elected officials taking up for this callier guy,
the pro Hamaskay of Columbia. Why would they? Why is
(01:14):
it their obsession to go to El Salvador and now
demand proof that he's alive on a daily basis A
guy that not one but two judges designated as associated
with MS thirteen and a guy that frankly had no
business being in the country in the first place, A
(01:34):
guy that, according to his own wife in her own handwriting,
is a wife beater. Can you explain why this is
the cause celeb of the left today.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's another miscalculation. It's like the trans stuff. So when
you live in a bubble, and thank you for say
I'm a smart guy. I know you would get a
lot of pushback from that some other people when you
live in a bubble and you hear only one point
of view your whole existence, which is what many Americans
(02:07):
now do, because she seemsy to do that on social
media and even on linear television. If you watch the news,
then you really don't know what the other side or
people who see life differently than you are thinking. So
these democrats, first of all, at backed the wrong guy,
(02:28):
because this is a bad guy. Rich Lowry wrote a
very interesting column about why he was in the country
in the first place.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I read that in the New York Post today.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, and it was a very good column by Lowry
because it explained the legality of it. So why he
was here and what he did or his lawyers did
to manipulate his status in America. Anyway, The left doesn't
care about that one bit. The over arch is they
don't want, they being the far left, any deportations of anybody.
(03:06):
They feel that it's a fascistic, that it's inhumane, whatever
it may be. They don't understand that most Americans disagree
with them. Vehemently, because logical people know if you allow
fifteen million foreign nationals into this country unsupervised, the negative,
(03:27):
unintensed consequences are going to be staggering and in my analysis,
But Bill, can I ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't want to interrupt your thought. They're trend of
thought here, but are they not reading the polls? This
is an eighty twenty issue, you know, if it's a
left wing outlet poll, it's a seventy thirty issue. I mean,
this is this is not a close call here.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's a good question you're asking me, Hannity. People believe
what they want to believe, they do on and so
this is.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Their cause, celeb It's like, there's the other story of
the day. It's very similar in nature. You got this
other group of congressional Democrats. You have the group that
traveled to Al Salvador to meet this you know, Brago
Garcia guy. Then you have this guy Mahmoud Khalil and
Democratic congressional members visiting Khalil in an ice detention center
(04:20):
and taking up for them, and you know, saying that
they need to go home. I'm like, no, they don't.
They need to go home, meaning home where they came from.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, I don't know why this guy's still Louisiana. I
would have booted him out a long time ago because
he was here under the beneficence of the United States government.
And if they deem him a public safety threat, which
he certainly was in New York City with his bullhorn
in pro Hamas statements, they can boot him immediately. I
(04:52):
don't know why I'm still here. And again, you just
misreading the temple of the country by getting behind a
guy like this. You know there are millions and millions
of students abroad that would like to study in America
because it's very prestigious. Once you get to do that,
you go home, you make a good living. Well, we're
(05:13):
generous and we accept these students here through the State
Department's visas, but they don't have a right to be here.
This man doesn't have a right to be in this country.
This is an act of generosity and kindness.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's a designated terrorist organization that he is openly supporting. Bill,
And if you're openly supporting a designated terrorist organization and
you're from a foreign country, that is sufficient enough reason
for US to expel you immediately. And I don't even
know why that's even a question.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah, I'd like to ask Home and Homeland Security, you know,
or whoever is running the deportation department. I think it's home.
Why have you guys still that I just put him
on a plan. It's in the back, you know, just
like you did with Garcia. Do you have a much
stronger case with this guy than you have with Garcia?
(06:07):
Because Garcia was in the system, as Lowry pointed out
in his column, he was already in the system. This
guy was not, so he should have been booted a
long time ago. But again, most Americans will agree with
us Hannity that these aren't even close calls. I want
to make one more point about the Pope, because obviously
(06:27):
the president of the first lead here going over to
the funeral on Saturday. You know, I did an extensive
analysis on Pope Francis after he died, and he was
a good man. I met him eight years ago, and
I watched him as a reporter, and he was a
good man. But Pope Francis had no clue.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
By the way, we got to be fully transparent. You
were there to get an exorcism, and he did oblige
and give you the exorcism. Is that true? Yeah, as
a rumor. It's on the internet somewhere. Bill.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I stopped speaking Aramaic and that was really good.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You're claiming now to speak in Tonguesville. Okay, keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That's one of the signs so that you're possessed by
the devil. But anyway, the point I made was that
even though Francis I believe is in heaven and he's
not had you and.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I have no shot, okay none, And he was officially
you speak for yourself. I believe in Jesus as my
Lord and Savior, and I've accepted him into my heart
and I'm fully confident in the promise of salvation. But
keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Okay, But that's all good, and I'm glad you have.
But I've known you for thirty years, so I know you.
But Hi, what our status is?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Anyway, man, oh man, you came in with a chip
on your shoulder. Keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's why you like me. The Pope did not, for
whatever reason I can't read his mind. Taking all the suffering,
account for all the suffering of the people who get
it hurt by this massive influx of migrants, not only
in the United States go all around the world. He
never considered that. And if you weigh it, the downside
(08:12):
is to the innocent people who have to endure a
President Biden allowing fifteen million people in here because the
unintended consequences, as you report almost every night, can lead
to murder and horrendous things.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It has led to murder, has led to murder, rape,
violent crime. We have known terrorists in the country's murderers, rapists,
cartel members, gang members. Let me switch gears a little bit.
I think you were featured on sixty minutes for once.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
We aren't you twice twice?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Wow, two big times. So when Donald Trump was president
the first time, Leslie Stall not only asked the President
to intervene to convince me to do the show, but
also our friend and former colleague Bill Shine to get
me to persuade me to do the show. And I
offered to do it live to tape because I don't
(09:06):
like how sixty Minutes does. I think they have an agenda,
and I think this I can give example after example.
I won't for this audience. They know that CBS News
has a liberal bias, and what they'll do is they'll
tape you for X amount of time. They'll build a
narrative around the story that they want to present to
(09:26):
their audience, and I don't often believe it's an honest
an honest way to portray people, and I think it's unfair.
Now listen, everybody will might edit for time or for
other reasons, etc. That's not what we're talking about. They
have a narrative going in. It was a non starter
live to tape, and I'm like, well, fine, then we're
(09:47):
on doing it. You did it, if I recall, it
wasn't that bad. They knew that your audience would rebel
if it was that abusively biased. But the fact that
the Sixty Minutes chief quits now, remember they just sold
sixty Minutes and CBS Paramount now owns it, and they
(10:10):
decided in this guy, there's only been it's interesting, there's
only been three producers of in their fifty seven year history.
And he said, it's become clear that I will not
be allowed to run the show as I've always run
it and make independent decisions based on what's right for
sixty minutes. I could care less about sixty minutes. I
don't feel that I'm getting the truth when I watch
(10:31):
and edited sixty minutes. What say you? You've had personal experience, right.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So Don Hewitt was the guy who founded it, and
he and Mike Wallace were big Fox News fans. I
don't know whether you knew that or not.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Mike Wallace was a rock star. He was a great interviewer.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He's the best ever.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
No, Tim Rusher's right up there too, And I knew
Tim Russert well.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
When we started nineteen ninety six. They understood what we
were doing, which was giving voice to traditional conservative Americans
who never had it on television national television news. Even
though both men were liberals, Hewett and Wallace, they weren't loons,
(11:17):
and they were journalists first, and they understood what Fox
News was. And I would talk to them all the time,
and so Rollas put me on sixty Minutes and it
was hysterical. It was a great piece. They got very
high ratings with it. But they treated me very fairly.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Isn't it in part though, because you did have a
personal relationship with Mike Wallace? Yes, and he did respect
your work in many ways, and he also knew you
were tough. I mean he would roll over people sometimes
and just to viscerate them, and Rols loved.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That because that's what he did, and I gave him
full credit for it. The opening remark on the Wallace interview,
people could see that on Google if you google it was, hey,
you're responsible for Bill O'Reilly and that took Wallace bag
And I said, because I used to watch you and
I imitated some of what you did. Anyway, six years later,
(12:17):
Norah o'donald interviewed me for killing Jesus and for just
how I got where I got. And I'm going to
use some of that tonight on the No Spin News,
my television broadcast. That's an interesting interview too. It was
a new producer, Jeff Fager. He took over when Hewitt retired.
Fager was a fair man. But then when Fager got
(12:38):
booted out of there, thence things changed. In twenty nineteen,
the big change, Hannity, and you remember this, I know
you do, was when Leslie Stall was interviewing Donald Trump,
and Leslie Stall would not acknowledge despite all of the
evidence that the Clinton campaign jin the phony Rush's story.
(13:02):
You remember that.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I do remember that, of course, not on the air
to Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
She kept saying, there's no evidence there's no evidence. And
I was sitting in my living room watching that. My
jaw hit the ground. I said, are you kidding me? Lady?
That was a turning point of sixty minutes. Now, I
used to work for CBS as a correspondent, covered wars
for them. I don't know why that happened. I don't
know why they changed from Jeff Feger, essentially a fairman,
(13:30):
into Bill Owens, who allowed the broadcast to be anti Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Quick break right back more with all things self proclaimed
simple man. That means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things
o'reillybillo'reilly dot com than your calls, your comments coming up
eight hundred nine to four one sean, if you want
to be a part of the program as we continue
to continue now with all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly,
all things o'reillybilloreilly dot com. All right, can I take
(13:58):
this out of your for a second here? Would you
agree with me generally speaking? And this can go back
to Reagan and their coverage of the Contra rebels and
Iran Contra and so on and so forth. Do you
generally agree with me that the practice of getting hours
of interviews and building a narrative around that and extrapolating
(14:21):
out only that which fits your narrative has been part
of their mo and it's gotten worse and worse over
the years.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Is that a fair premise, Yes, I would agree with that,
but not just sixty minutes. That's what's prevalent in all
of television news. Now here's an interesting point that you
may not have thought of. The culture at CBS has
always been liberal. Walter Cronkeye was liberal, but they didn't
promote liberalism until Rather got in the anchorchair. And Rather
(14:52):
did sixty Minutes too. That's where he got booted when
he tried to nail Bush the younger on the National
Guard story. You remember that ruined Rather's career. Okay, so
went Obama.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
We got about ten seconds, mister O'Reilly got to wrap.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Us up all right, next week. I can't wrap it
up that fast, but they took a turn sixty Minutes
did with Barack Obama. And if you want to go
in next week on it, we can do that. But
thanks for having me. It's the fun conversation as always, well, all.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Things simple man, Bill O'Reilly or Bill O'Reilly dot com.
It didn't work that well during the election season Nazi, fascist,
racist Hitler, Stalin Mussolini. That didn't work too well. Well,
that's not going to stop Democrats from doing it. I mean,
I don't know where they found this relic of a
(15:41):
former politician, Al Gore. But you know, I know it's
wrong for make Hitler comparisons, but let me go on
to make one.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Listen, I understand very well why it is wrong to
compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reich to any other movement. It
was uniquely evil, full stop, I get it. But there
are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil.
But it was Habermas's mentor, Theodore Adorno, who wrote that
(16:09):
the first step in that nation's descent into hell was
and I quote, the conversion of all questions of truth
into questions of power.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
He described how.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
The Nazis and I quote again, attacked the very heart
of the distinction between true and false. The Trump administration
is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version
of reality.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Oh boy, James Carble, do we wait until Trump is
Hitler to compare him to Hitler? And this is how
sick these people have gotten, Crazy Carble, Listen.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Michael mcconnish, who's a gogo this show. He's very personal guy,
He's a Philadelphia guy. He said, well, he's not this
is you may not like Trump, but he's not Hitler
and shouldn't be treated that way. Okay, well, this is
a question to Bible SCons. Do we wait until he's Hitler?
At what point do you say this guy is a
(17:15):
threat to whatever? What did Trump's first wife say? The
reading material on his night table was, I can tell
you mind cuff. It's German for my struggle, which is
you couldn't read it if you've actually tried to read
it and you just can't.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, it's just pathetic. By the way, it is
now time for a Hannity trip down memory lane, considering
al Gore has been pretty much out of the public
eye forever. Uh, this is al Gore running for president
and like so many Democrats, I don't feel no ways tired.
Remember Hillary, And for whatever reason, Democrats get before particular
(17:55):
constituencies and their their tone, their pitch, their aidens, everything changes.
Here's Preacher al Gore. Hannity, oldie, be that glory, oh
de large, shall be revealed.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Stand with me for the economic empowerment. That is the
next great civil rights frontier. Ben that glory oh de
large shall be revealed. Don't tell me we live in
a colorbland society. The Republicans know that THEIRS is the
wrong agenda for African Americans. That's why they don't even
(18:33):
want to count you in the census. Be the glory
oh de large shall be revealed, and that glory oh
delarge shall be revealed, and that glory oh de large.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Shall be revealed. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Professor Katz, California. What's up, Professor Katz, it's been a while.
How are you.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
It's so good to talk to you. Sean So. I
am the daughter of a ninety seven year old Holocaust survivor,
Peurie Cat, and my mom is recuperating from a stroke.
She had a full and complete recovery and large part
to watching you. Every night in the hospital, they had
CNN on and my mom would cry and she would
(19:20):
just say she doesn't want to watch it. And I
just had to, like, you know, go through every single
channel on television to find you on Fox. And Mom
would watch you every day and it just gave her
strength and she's just doing fantastically.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Look what great news. I mean, so often if you
don't get if you are having a stroke and you
don't get to the hospital, you have a very very
tiny window to get to a hospital, or the damage
is usually irreparable.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
That is so true.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Thank God she's okay. Please tell mom, I said, hi,
And I'm so happy she's doing better.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
I will And I just want to say, you know
about what you were just playing all those clips that
you know, the twentieth was would have been Hitler's birthday,
and may he burn wherever he is. But my mom's here,
and there's a lot of people that are alive and well.
And you know, President Trump has been not just according
(20:20):
to like our wonderful Mark Levin, but according to all
of us who love and are so grateful to him.
And the Prime Minister of Israel Natanyahu said, and we've
never had such a best friend to Israel and the
Jewish people and to really all people of faith as
President Trump in the White House. And you know, Larry
(20:41):
David has been from HBO al Gore, you know, who
couldn't like sell his climate, you know, change thing to come,
you know, and Carville another has been they do not
speak for us, and neither do you know the three
areas of the Jewish you know denominations, the left who
(21:05):
they've all become leftists, the reform movement, the Conservative movement. Sadly,
you know, they were just condemned by twenty five hundred
Orthodox rabbis for saying that what President Trump is trying
to accomplish in all of the universities, and so many
people are so idiotic they don't see it either. Universities
(21:26):
are supposed to be places of learning. They're supposed to
prepare you to become effective and constructive citizens and to
go out and create and be wonderful people in the world,
not to go out and spread pro Hamas propaganda on campus,
not to spread anti Semitism. And that's what's going on
(21:48):
day in and day out today at Yale, with the encampus,
at Columbia, at Harvard, and basically President Trump is doing
what the administration should be doing and standing up and saying,
you have codes of conduct. If you're not going to
enforce them and expel these students or suspend them or
have consequences for them, We're going to have consequences for you.
(22:10):
We're going to withhold your funding. These are wealthy universities.
They should know.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Better and they shouldn't get a time. Look at what
the Democratic parties descended into though. I mean, it's not
just the party championing men and women's sports and the
rights of illegals over the safety of Americans and claiming
a constitutional crisis when they get exposed, you know, of
(22:34):
spending hundreds of billions of dollars and wasting it abroad
on DEI, wokeism, transgenderism, LGBTQ, new Green dealism, you know.
But now they're also the party that is, you know,
going El Salvador to champion for a guy that that
(22:54):
not one but two judges declared to be associated and
connected with MS thirteen. And now they're also this this
this pro Hamas protester that's not a citizen of our
country on Columbia's university. Now they're going they're taking up
his cause. You know what has happened to this party.
(23:15):
The party has been radicalized and they're embracing radical pro
Hamas protesters. And meanwhile Donald Trump moved the capital to
its rightful home in Jerusalem. Donald Trump has been the
most supportive president of Israel recognized the West Bank and
other areas as as rightful Israeli territory. And meanwhile, what
(23:37):
do we get from Biden and Harris frankly, nothing but
hostility towards Israel. I don't know what part of murder, rape, torture,
beheading and kidnapping. These people don't understand on the left,
but you know this is their party, you know they
they remained silent when assassination threats are made against Elon
Musk and Donald Trump, and bullets are fired into Tesla
(23:59):
dealerships and Tesla's are being you know, torched and hit
with Molotov cocktails, and same with charging stations. You know,
some on the left worshiping the ground that Luigi Mangioni
walks on. I don't know what's happened to them, but
you know that party. Forget about Hillary Clinton and Al
Gore and James Crazy Carvell. Now they've got Jasmine Crockett
(24:21):
and AOC and Bernie Sanders and the squad and that
is the heart and soul of that party.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Absolutely. And what people don't realize is this is Holocaust reversionism.
When you use the Holocaust like you use the word hello,
and compare everything and everybody to Hitler. Then you know
you do mean not only people like mom who survived
the Holocaust, you denigrate the memories also of all of
(24:52):
the millions of people who were mass murdered in gas
chambers and concentration camps, as well as where there are
the people out there in the Democrat Party who had
fathers and grandfathers like my dad who was in the
Third Army in the Battle of the Bulge, who forgot
that we were the people our US military, who they
(25:15):
also demean and denigrate and tried to either force them
to take COVID shots or kick them out if you
know they didn't go along with their woke ideology which
President Trump reinstated. And Pete Heagss, you know, another like
person that they also go after. These people were the
greatest generation and they fought against this evil ideology. They
(25:38):
fought against Hitler, and they liberated the camps, and they
liberated Europe twice. This is not these ideals and ideologies
that they are pushing. These are Marxist leftist garbage that
they are pushing in Ark through twelve schools, in every
single subject they find a way to like integrate it
in a lecture. They're pushing it on our college campuses,
(26:00):
and they're pushing it by running these people, as you know,
elected officials to speak like you said, like in a
squad in other places in Congress. They do not represent
the mainstream American and our ideals in what this country
was built upon.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
They have, if I may, Professor, they have an agenda
and it is a radical agenda. And that's why HAVEVID, Columbia, Cornell,
all these Ivy League institutions don't deserve one red scent
of American tax dollars, not a penny. And frankly, I
think they have lost track of their mission, which is education,
(26:40):
and it's now become a doctrination. Look, I could talk
to you all day, but I do have other calls
to get to. We do love when you call, Professor Katz.
Always good to hear from you. Quick break right back.
We'll continue more your call straight ahead. Eight hundred and
nine four one, Shawn.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
As we continue the final hour, the Sean Hannity Show
is up next, hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
All right, let's get back to our busy phones. Eight
hundred and nine to four one, Sean. If you want
to be a part of the program. Jeff and Illinois. Jeff,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Brother Sean good, thank you for what you do. I
listened to Bill O'Reilly. I talked to him about ten
years ago with the Rod Lgoievitch situation. But that's not
why I called. I called about the Harvard And then
anytime institutions such as PBS do receive federal funds, I'm
sure in the terms and conditions it states you're not
(27:42):
allowed to use those funds against the hand that feeds you.
So with that being said, you know, Harvard, I hope
you're listening. Elon is on the way. Pam Bondy should
be writing up the orders that we're going to look
through the books one hundred and fifty percent, one way
through and then coming back and we might even go
(28:02):
after their endowments if they've broken the terms and conditions
for federal tax dollars in which they're utilizing against us.
We all know that, you know what, anything now government
needs to be looked through, like the PBS, like even
Planned parenthood with a you know, a fine tooth comb.
(28:25):
Elon's gone the way. Just tell them that and then
the lawsuit should be immediately stopped by another judge or
if that is Pam Bondy and I could go on
and on, but if you have Bill on next week,
yes you do. He, in my opinion, is the ultimate
and a journalist he works. That man is passionate like you.
(28:47):
Katie is so sweet and now I'm saying this, she
needs a raise, Linda, we love her and I'm done.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Will you stop sucking up to the people that work
on the show. You got to stop. But I do
agree with you on a lot of what you're saying here,
and I will tell you we can't afford it anymore.
We cannot afford to give a college like an elite
institution that is so woke, like Havid, you know, six
(29:16):
hundred and eighty some odd million dollars a year when
they have a fifty three billion dollar endowment. They don't
need our money and hard working Americans need it. We
need to pay down our debt. We need to save
Social Security and Medicaid from bankruptcy. We need to deport
illegal immigrants. We need to get all this energy out
(29:37):
of the ground so we can make more money. And
we need investment in infrastructure, and we need law and
order we have too many other priorities.
All right, Letard skin a simple man that can only
mean one thing on this radio program. That's all things.
Self proclaimed simple man that means all things Bill O'Reilly,
all things Bill O'Reilly or Bill O'Reilly dot com. Mister O'Reilly, sir,
always a pleasure. I have a question. You're a smart guy.
You understand the political winds and shifting winds and and
(00:52):
the left in this country probably as well as anybody.
Can you explain to me why you have Senator Van Holland,
and then four other congress people and now a bunch
of Democratic elected officials taking up for this callier guy,
the pro Hamaskay of Columbia. Why would they? Why is
(01:14):
it their obsession to go to El Salvador and now
demand proof that he's alive on a daily basis A
guy that not one but two judges designated as associated
with MS thirteen and a guy that frankly had no
business being in the country in the first place, A
(01:34):
guy that, according to his own wife in her own handwriting,
is a wife beater. Can you explain why this is
the cause celeb of the left today.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's another miscalculation. It's like the trans stuff. So when
you live in a bubble, and thank you for say
I'm a smart guy. I know you would get a
lot of pushback from that some other people when you
live in a bubble and you hear only one point
of view your whole existence, which is what many Americans
(02:07):
now do, because she seemsy to do that on social
media and even on linear television. If you watch the news,
then you really don't know what the other side or
people who see life differently than you are thinking. So
these democrats, first of all, at backed the wrong guy,
(02:28):
because this is a bad guy. Rich Lowry wrote a
very interesting column about why he was in the country
in the first place.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
I read that in the New York Post today.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Yeah, and it was a very good column by Lowry
because it explained the legality of it. So why he
was here and what he did or his lawyers did
to manipulate his status in America. Anyway, The left doesn't
care about that one bit. The over arch is they
don't want, they being the far left, any deportations of anybody.
(03:06):
They feel that it's a fascistic, that it's inhumane, whatever
it may be. They don't understand that most Americans disagree
with them. Vehemently, because logical people know if you allow
fifteen million foreign nationals into this country unsupervised, the negative,
(03:27):
unintensed consequences are going to be staggering and in my analysis,
But Bill, can I ask you a question.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I don't want to interrupt your thought. They're trend of
thought here, but are they not reading the polls? This
is an eighty twenty issue, you know, if it's a
left wing outlet poll, it's a seventy thirty issue. I mean,
this is this is not a close call here.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
It's a good question you're asking me, Hannity. People believe
what they want to believe, they do on and so
this is.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Their cause, celeb It's like, there's the other story of
the day. It's very similar in nature. You got this
other group of congressional Democrats. You have the group that
traveled to Al Salvador to meet this you know, Brago
Garcia guy. Then you have this guy Mahmoud Khalil and
Democratic congressional members visiting Khalil in an ice detention center
(04:20):
and taking up for them, and you know, saying that
they need to go home. I'm like, no, they don't.
They need to go home, meaning home where they came from.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Well, I don't know why this guy's still Louisiana. I
would have booted him out a long time ago because
he was here under the beneficence of the United States government.
And if they deem him a public safety threat, which
he certainly was in New York City with his bullhorn
in pro Hamas statements, they can boot him immediately. I
(04:52):
don't know why I'm still here. And again, you just
misreading the temple of the country by getting behind a
guy like this. You know there are millions and millions
of students abroad that would like to study in America
because it's very prestigious. Once you get to do that,
you go home, you make a good living. Well, we're
(05:13):
generous and we accept these students here through the State
Department's visas, but they don't have a right to be here.
This man doesn't have a right to be in this country.
This is an act of generosity and kindness.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
It's a designated terrorist organization that he is openly supporting. Bill,
And if you're openly supporting a designated terrorist organization and
you're from a foreign country, that is sufficient enough reason
for US to expel you immediately. And I don't even
know why that's even a question.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
Yeah, I'd like to ask Home and Homeland Security, you know,
or whoever is running the deportation department. I think it's home.
Why have you guys still that I just put him
on a plan. It's in the back, you know, just
like you did with Garcia. Do you have a much
stronger case with this guy than you have with Garcia?
(06:07):
Because Garcia was in the system, as Lowry pointed out
in his column, he was already in the system. This
guy was not, so he should have been booted a
long time ago. But again, most Americans will agree with
us Hannity that these aren't even close calls. I want
to make one more point about the Pope, because obviously
(06:27):
the president of the first lead here going over to
the funeral on Saturday. You know, I did an extensive
analysis on Pope Francis after he died, and he was
a good man. I met him eight years ago, and
I watched him as a reporter, and he was a
good man. But Pope Francis had no clue.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
By the way, we got to be fully transparent. You
were there to get an exorcism, and he did oblige
and give you the exorcism. Is that true? Yeah, as
a rumor. It's on the internet somewhere. Bill.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, I stopped speaking Aramaic and that was really good.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
You're claiming now to speak in Tonguesville. Okay, keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
That's one of the signs so that you're possessed by
the devil. But anyway, the point I made was that
even though Francis I believe is in heaven and he's
not had you and.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I have no shot, okay none, And he was officially
you speak for yourself. I believe in Jesus as my
Lord and Savior, and I've accepted him into my heart
and I'm fully confident in the promise of salvation. But
keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Okay, But that's all good, and I'm glad you have.
But I've known you for thirty years, so I know you.
But Hi, what our status is?
Speaker 1 (07:42):
Anyway, man, oh man, you came in with a chip
on your shoulder. Keep going.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
That's why you like me. The Pope did not, for
whatever reason I can't read his mind. Taking all the suffering,
account for all the suffering of the people who get
it hurt by this massive influx of migrants, not only
in the United States go all around the world. He
never considered that. And if you weigh it, the downside
(08:12):
is to the innocent people who have to endure a
President Biden allowing fifteen million people in here because the
unintended consequences, as you report almost every night, can lead
to murder and horrendous things.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
It has led to murder, has led to murder, rape,
violent crime. We have known terrorists in the country's murderers, rapists,
cartel members, gang members. Let me switch gears a little bit.
I think you were featured on sixty minutes for once.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
We aren't you twice twice?
Speaker 1 (08:44):
Wow, two big times. So when Donald Trump was president
the first time, Leslie Stall not only asked the President
to intervene to convince me to do the show, but
also our friend and former colleague Bill Shine to get
me to persuade me to do the show. And I
offered to do it live to tape because I don't
(09:06):
like how sixty Minutes does. I think they have an agenda,
and I think this I can give example after example.
I won't for this audience. They know that CBS News
has a liberal bias, and what they'll do is they'll
tape you for X amount of time. They'll build a
narrative around the story that they want to present to
(09:26):
their audience, and I don't often believe it's an honest
an honest way to portray people, and I think it's unfair.
Now listen, everybody will might edit for time or for
other reasons, etc. That's not what we're talking about. They
have a narrative going in. It was a non starter
live to tape, and I'm like, well, fine, then we're
(09:47):
on doing it. You did it, if I recall, it
wasn't that bad. They knew that your audience would rebel
if it was that abusively biased. But the fact that
the Sixty Minutes chief quits now, remember they just sold
sixty Minutes and CBS Paramount now owns it, and they
(10:10):
decided in this guy, there's only been it's interesting, there's
only been three producers of in their fifty seven year history.
And he said, it's become clear that I will not
be allowed to run the show as I've always run
it and make independent decisions based on what's right for
sixty minutes. I could care less about sixty minutes. I
don't feel that I'm getting the truth when I watch
(10:31):
and edited sixty minutes. What say you? You've had personal experience, right.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So Don Hewitt was the guy who founded it, and
he and Mike Wallace were big Fox News fans. I
don't know whether you knew that or not.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Mike Wallace was a rock star. He was a great interviewer.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
He's the best ever.
Speaker 1 (10:54):
No, Tim Rusher's right up there too, And I knew
Tim Russert well.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
When we started nineteen ninety six. They understood what we
were doing, which was giving voice to traditional conservative Americans
who never had it on television national television news. Even
though both men were liberals, Hewett and Wallace, they weren't loons,
(11:17):
and they were journalists first, and they understood what Fox
News was. And I would talk to them all the time,
and so Rollas put me on sixty Minutes and it
was hysterical. It was a great piece. They got very
high ratings with it. But they treated me very fairly.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Isn't it in part though, because you did have a
personal relationship with Mike Wallace? Yes, and he did respect
your work in many ways, and he also knew you
were tough. I mean he would roll over people sometimes
and just to viscerate them, and Rols loved.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
That because that's what he did, and I gave him
full credit for it. The opening remark on the Wallace interview,
people could see that on Google if you google it was, hey,
you're responsible for Bill O'Reilly and that took Wallace bag
And I said, because I used to watch you and
I imitated some of what you did. Anyway, six years later,
(12:17):
Norah o'donald interviewed me for killing Jesus and for just
how I got where I got. And I'm going to
use some of that tonight on the No Spin News,
my television broadcast. That's an interesting interview too. It was
a new producer, Jeff Fager. He took over when Hewitt retired.
Fager was a fair man. But then when Fager got
(12:38):
booted out of there, thence things changed. In twenty nineteen,
the big change, Hannity, and you remember this, I know
you do, was when Leslie Stall was interviewing Donald Trump,
and Leslie Stall would not acknowledge despite all of the
evidence that the Clinton campaign jin the phony Rush's story.
(13:02):
You remember that.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
I do remember that, of course, not on the air
to Trump.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
She kept saying, there's no evidence there's no evidence. And
I was sitting in my living room watching that. My
jaw hit the ground. I said, are you kidding me? Lady?
That was a turning point of sixty minutes. Now, I
used to work for CBS as a correspondent, covered wars
for them. I don't know why that happened. I don't
know why they changed from Jeff Feger, essentially a fairman,
(13:30):
into Bill Owens, who allowed the broadcast to be anti Trump.
Speaker 1 (13:35):
Quick break right back more with all things self proclaimed
simple man. That means all things Bill O'Reilly, all things
o'reillybillo'reilly dot com than your calls, your comments coming up
eight hundred nine to four one sean, if you want
to be a part of the program as we continue
to continue now with all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly,
all things o'reillybilloreilly dot com. All right, can I take
(13:58):
this out of your for a second here? Would you
agree with me generally speaking? And this can go back
to Reagan and their coverage of the Contra rebels and
Iran Contra and so on and so forth. Do you
generally agree with me that the practice of getting hours
of interviews and building a narrative around that and extrapolating
(14:21):
out only that which fits your narrative has been part
of their mo and it's gotten worse and worse over
the years.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Is that a fair premise, Yes, I would agree with that,
but not just sixty minutes. That's what's prevalent in all
of television news. Now here's an interesting point that you
may not have thought of. The culture at CBS has
always been liberal. Walter Cronkeye was liberal, but they didn't
promote liberalism until Rather got in the anchorchair. And Rather
(14:52):
did sixty Minutes too. That's where he got booted when
he tried to nail Bush the younger on the National
Guard story. You remember that ruined Rather's career. Okay, so
went Obama.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
We got about ten seconds, mister O'Reilly got to wrap.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Us up all right, next week. I can't wrap it
up that fast, but they took a turn sixty Minutes
did with Barack Obama. And if you want to go
in next week on it, we can do that. But
thanks for having me. It's the fun conversation as always, well, all.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Things simple man, Bill O'Reilly or Bill O'Reilly dot com.
It didn't work that well during the election season Nazi, fascist,
racist Hitler, Stalin Mussolini. That didn't work too well. Well,
that's not going to stop Democrats from doing it. I mean,
I don't know where they found this relic of a
(15:41):
former politician, Al Gore. But you know, I know it's
wrong for make Hitler comparisons, but let me go on
to make one.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
Listen, I understand very well why it is wrong to
compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reich to any other movement. It
was uniquely evil, full stop, I get it. But there
are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil.
But it was Habermas's mentor, Theodore Adorno, who wrote that
(16:09):
the first step in that nation's descent into hell was
and I quote, the conversion of all questions of truth
into questions of power.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
He described how.
Speaker 4 (16:24):
The Nazis and I quote again, attacked the very heart
of the distinction between true and false. The Trump administration
is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version
of reality.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Oh boy, James Carble, do we wait until Trump is
Hitler to compare him to Hitler? And this is how
sick these people have gotten, Crazy Carble, Listen.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Michael mcconnish, who's a gogo this show. He's very personal guy,
He's a Philadelphia guy. He said, well, he's not this
is you may not like Trump, but he's not Hitler
and shouldn't be treated that way. Okay, well, this is
a question to Bible SCons. Do we wait until he's Hitler?
At what point do you say this guy is a
(17:15):
threat to whatever? What did Trump's first wife say? The
reading material on his night table was, I can tell
you mind cuff. It's German for my struggle, which is
you couldn't read it if you've actually tried to read
it and you just can't.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
I mean, it's just pathetic. By the way, it is
now time for a Hannity trip down memory lane, considering
al Gore has been pretty much out of the public
eye forever. Uh, this is al Gore running for president
and like so many Democrats, I don't feel no ways tired.
Remember Hillary, And for whatever reason, Democrats get before particular
(17:55):
constituencies and their their tone, their pitch, their aidens, everything changes.
Here's Preacher al Gore. Hannity, oldie, be that glory, oh
de large, shall be revealed.
Speaker 6 (18:10):
Stand with me for the economic empowerment. That is the
next great civil rights frontier. Ben that glory oh de
large shall be revealed. Don't tell me we live in
a colorbland society. The Republicans know that THEIRS is the
wrong agenda for African Americans. That's why they don't even
(18:33):
want to count you in the census. Be the glory
oh de large shall be revealed, and that glory oh
delarge shall be revealed, and that glory oh de large.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
Shall be revealed. All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Professor Katz, California. What's up, Professor Katz, it's been a while.
How are you.
Speaker 7 (18:57):
It's so good to talk to you. Sean So. I
am the daughter of a ninety seven year old Holocaust survivor,
Peurie Cat, and my mom is recuperating from a stroke.
She had a full and complete recovery and large part
to watching you. Every night in the hospital, they had
CNN on and my mom would cry and she would
(19:20):
just say she doesn't want to watch it. And I
just had to, like, you know, go through every single
channel on television to find you on Fox. And Mom
would watch you every day and it just gave her
strength and she's just doing fantastically.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Look what great news. I mean, so often if you
don't get if you are having a stroke and you
don't get to the hospital, you have a very very
tiny window to get to a hospital, or the damage
is usually irreparable.
Speaker 7 (19:51):
That is so true.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
Thank God she's okay. Please tell mom, I said, hi,
And I'm so happy she's doing better.
Speaker 7 (19:57):
I will And I just want to say, you know
about what you were just playing all those clips that
you know, the twentieth was would have been Hitler's birthday,
and may he burn wherever he is. But my mom's here,
and there's a lot of people that are alive and well.
And you know, President Trump has been not just according
(20:20):
to like our wonderful Mark Levin, but according to all
of us who love and are so grateful to him.
And the Prime Minister of Israel Natanyahu said, and we've
never had such a best friend to Israel and the
Jewish people and to really all people of faith as
President Trump in the White House. And you know, Larry
(20:41):
David has been from HBO al Gore, you know, who
couldn't like sell his climate, you know, change thing to come,
you know, and Carville another has been they do not
speak for us, and neither do you know the three
areas of the Jewish you know denominations, the left who
(21:05):
they've all become leftists, the reform movement, the Conservative movement. Sadly,
you know, they were just condemned by twenty five hundred
Orthodox rabbis for saying that what President Trump is trying
to accomplish in all of the universities, and so many
people are so idiotic they don't see it either. Universities
(21:26):
are supposed to be places of learning. They're supposed to
prepare you to become effective and constructive citizens and to
go out and create and be wonderful people in the world,
not to go out and spread pro Hamas propaganda on campus,
not to spread anti Semitism. And that's what's going on
(21:48):
day in and day out today at Yale, with the encampus,
at Columbia, at Harvard, and basically President Trump is doing
what the administration should be doing and standing up and saying,
you have codes of conduct. If you're not going to
enforce them and expel these students or suspend them or
have consequences for them, We're going to have consequences for you.
(22:10):
We're going to withhold your funding. These are wealthy universities.
They should know.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
Better and they shouldn't get a time. Look at what
the Democratic parties descended into though. I mean, it's not
just the party championing men and women's sports and the
rights of illegals over the safety of Americans and claiming
a constitutional crisis when they get exposed, you know, of
(22:34):
spending hundreds of billions of dollars and wasting it abroad
on DEI, wokeism, transgenderism, LGBTQ, new Green dealism, you know.
But now they're also the party that is, you know,
going El Salvador to champion for a guy that that
(22:54):
not one but two judges declared to be associated and
connected with MS thirteen. And now they're also this this
this pro Hamas protester that's not a citizen of our
country on Columbia's university. Now they're going they're taking up
his cause. You know what has happened to this party.
(23:15):
The party has been radicalized and they're embracing radical pro
Hamas protesters. And meanwhile Donald Trump moved the capital to
its rightful home in Jerusalem. Donald Trump has been the
most supportive president of Israel recognized the West Bank and
other areas as as rightful Israeli territory. And meanwhile, what
(23:37):
do we get from Biden and Harris frankly, nothing but
hostility towards Israel. I don't know what part of murder, rape, torture,
beheading and kidnapping. These people don't understand on the left,
but you know this is their party, you know they
they remained silent when assassination threats are made against Elon
Musk and Donald Trump, and bullets are fired into Tesla
(23:59):
dealerships and Tesla's are being you know, torched and hit
with Molotov cocktails, and same with charging stations. You know,
some on the left worshiping the ground that Luigi Mangioni
walks on. I don't know what's happened to them, but
you know that party. Forget about Hillary Clinton and Al
Gore and James Crazy Carvell. Now they've got Jasmine Crockett
(24:21):
and AOC and Bernie Sanders and the squad and that
is the heart and soul of that party.
Speaker 7 (24:28):
Absolutely. And what people don't realize is this is Holocaust reversionism.
When you use the Holocaust like you use the word hello,
and compare everything and everybody to Hitler. Then you know
you do mean not only people like mom who survived
the Holocaust, you denigrate the memories also of all of
(24:52):
the millions of people who were mass murdered in gas
chambers and concentration camps, as well as where there are
the people out there in the Democrat Party who had
fathers and grandfathers like my dad who was in the
Third Army in the Battle of the Bulge, who forgot
that we were the people our US military, who they
(25:15):
also demean and denigrate and tried to either force them
to take COVID shots or kick them out if you
know they didn't go along with their woke ideology which
President Trump reinstated. And Pete Heagss, you know, another like
person that they also go after. These people were the
greatest generation and they fought against this evil ideology. They
(25:38):
fought against Hitler, and they liberated the camps, and they
liberated Europe twice. This is not these ideals and ideologies
that they are pushing. These are Marxist leftist garbage that
they are pushing in Ark through twelve schools, in every
single subject they find a way to like integrate it
in a lecture. They're pushing it on our college campuses,
(26:00):
and they're pushing it by running these people, as you know,
elected officials to speak like you said, like in a
squad in other places in Congress. They do not represent
the mainstream American and our ideals in what this country
was built upon.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
They have, if I may, Professor, they have an agenda
and it is a radical agenda. And that's why HAVEVID, Columbia, Cornell,
all these Ivy League institutions don't deserve one red scent
of American tax dollars, not a penny. And frankly, I
think they have lost track of their mission, which is education,
(26:40):
and it's now become a doctrination. Look, I could talk
to you all day, but I do have other calls
to get to. We do love when you call, Professor Katz.
Always good to hear from you. Quick break right back.
We'll continue more your call straight ahead. Eight hundred and
nine four one, Shawn.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
As we continue the final hour, the Sean Hannity Show
is up next, hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
All right, let's get back to our busy phones. Eight
hundred and nine to four one, Sean. If you want
to be a part of the program. Jeff and Illinois. Jeff,
how are you glad you called?
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Brother Sean good, thank you for what you do. I
listened to Bill O'Reilly. I talked to him about ten
years ago with the Rod Lgoievitch situation. But that's not
why I called. I called about the Harvard And then
anytime institutions such as PBS do receive federal funds, I'm
sure in the terms and conditions it states you're not
(27:42):
allowed to use those funds against the hand that feeds you.
So with that being said, you know, Harvard, I hope
you're listening. Elon is on the way. Pam Bondy should
be writing up the orders that we're going to look
through the books one hundred and fifty percent, one way
through and then coming back and we might even go
(28:02):
after their endowments if they've broken the terms and conditions
for federal tax dollars in which they're utilizing against us.
We all know that, you know what, anything now government
needs to be looked through, like the PBS, like even
Planned parenthood with a you know, a fine tooth comb.
(28:25):
Elon's gone the way. Just tell them that and then
the lawsuit should be immediately stopped by another judge or
if that is Pam Bondy and I could go on
and on, but if you have Bill on next week,
yes you do. He, in my opinion, is the ultimate
and a journalist he works. That man is passionate like you.
(28:47):
Katie is so sweet and now I'm saying this, she
needs a raise, Linda, we love her and I'm done.
Speaker 1 (28:54):
Will you stop sucking up to the people that work
on the show. You got to stop. But I do
agree with you on a lot of what you're saying here,
and I will tell you we can't afford it anymore.
We cannot afford to give a college like an elite
institution that is so woke, like Havid, you know, six
(29:16):
hundred and eighty some odd million dollars a year when
they have a fifty three billion dollar endowment. They don't
need our money and hard working Americans need it. We
need to pay down our debt. We need to save
Social Security and Medicaid from bankruptcy. We need to deport
illegal immigrants. We need to get all this energy out
(29:37):
of the ground so we can make more money. And
we need investment in infrastructure, and we need law and
order we have too many other priorities.
