Speaker 1 (00:00):
Where we have coming to your city seeing you a
conscious will, All beings are jail, and if you want
a little banging your un you ain't come along, you know.
The Wall Street Journal reported this morning that forty four
(00:21):
percent of economists expect a recession in the next year.
Is that what you expect as well? I don't think
a recession is at all inevitable. And I realized more
than ever that as president I need your help. I
have been reminded again that all the legislation in the
(00:41):
world can't fix what's wrong with America. Freedom is back
in style. Welcome to the revolution, where I'm coming to
your city. You want to play our get times and
saying you a conscious New Sean Hannity Show mor behind
(01:03):
the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired
solutions for America. This is a special edition of The
Sean Hannity Show America Trap Behind Enemy Lines, Day number
(01:24):
three hundred and twelve. All Right, Leonard Skinnyard simple man,
(01:50):
that can only meet one thing on this radio show,
and that's all things. Bill O'Reilly simple man, as he
describes himself self describes simple man. I'm not sure if
I agree with that. I kind of take issue with that,
as we have many times on this show. By the way,
congrats to Bill, who joins us now number one New
York Times list his latest in his killing series, Killing
(02:13):
the Killers. I actually think it's the best one to date.
Congratulations mister O'Reilly? How are you, sir? I'm tired because
it was just the Doobie Brothers a Jones Beach last night.
They're kind of like Leonard Skinner. No, I love the
Doobie Brothers. Yeah, long train running, baby China Grove. They
were good. Michael McDonald was back with the group. Was
he really? Yeah? I did you know that? Wow? Jones?
(02:36):
I mean they've got to look like, you know, decrepit
and old like Biden. Right, No, No, I mean McDonald
like us. I mean we're gonna be honest. You know,
we're all getting a little older, right their spride just
like you and me. But Jones Beach is the best
concert venue in the country. It's a phenomenal good venue.
(02:57):
You're right, a good time. Where you sit? We was
in the front back? Where were you? They? Like me?
You're hanging out with the folks. Bill, how did you
get front row seats? Let me let me guess you
called in. You had somebody make a phone call to
get you front row seats, and don't do that. Michael
McDonald just tests me, hates me, right, the other guys
(03:20):
like me. So so you're friends with some of the
guys in the band. They gave you front row seats
and uh so we were there. Wait a minute, did
they comp you the tickets? Did you get him for free? No?
I paid. I never do that. I always pay, and
I always pay to cut the line, and I never Yeah,
you and I we know that people who cut the
(03:42):
line and take freebees they're not genuine people. For example,
I for a lot of years would as a Christmas
present to my kids, more my son than my daughter.
She didn't really care at the time, but she went. Occasionally,
I get my son for Christmas a super Bowl package
and that included you know, I'll take it as super Bowl,
(04:03):
We'll have a great time, We'll spend time in the
city wherever the super Bowl is being played. Then well,
I would go on StubHub and I would buy the
tickets there pay a fortune, and you know, I mean
but and there were times that I was offered tickets
and I'd say no, I was there the last time
the Yankees won the World Series. Do you remember then?
(04:23):
Mayor was David Patterson got in trouble for free tickets.
I paid for my tickets and I'm set it on
the air. Randy Levine and the Yankees calls me and says,
we've been best friends forever. Why didn't you call me?
I say, because I don't take free I don't take
free stuff. Yeah, if it's an invitation from somebody that
I know who's a friend, then I'll go and respect
(04:44):
the invitation. But if it's a concert, I mean, the
Doobie Brothers, they got to make some money. Man, They're
they're pushing their late seventies. So I want to contribute
to the Doobie Brothers retirement fun. They're already retired. I
think they're probably doing okay, Bill, it's my guests. I'm
good for you. It sounds like fun. You would have
been nice if you thought of me. But I you know,
I had to work anywhere many but you get like
eighteen people you got to go through if you want
(05:04):
to talk to you about stuff like you see all right,
that's that is just an outright lie because you text
me directly, so stop. I don't have an email account.
I have them for a long time. And I don't
have access to my social media accounts, and I have
them for a long time. You know. The sad part
is is people think I've become an ass and a snob. Yeah,
but you're a friend. I can I can attest that
Hannity is not a snob. But I can also tell
(05:26):
everybody that Hannity's floor crew that puts them on television
every night. Yeah, we're all to work for you too. Okay,
they're all my guys. Okay, No, while they were working
for you, they also worked for me, all right, Not
a serious note. Yeah, Okay, I'm looking at an economy
(05:46):
bill that's not getting better anytime soon. Guess holiday. All right, great,
if I'll take any tax cut I can get. We
all know it's temporary. We all know it's a band aid.
We all know it's a gimmick. Obama was right when
he said it's a gimmick in two thousand and eight.
It's not going to solve the problem. And here's where
I'm really worried. Lawrence Summers said that we need ten
(06:08):
percent unemployment rate to get out of this forty one
year high of inflation. Why don't you listening to him
because he's been right so far. When these idiots were
telling us inflations transitory, he said, hell, no, it's not.
It's real. Okay, But he's a pinhead from Harvard and
don't do that. So if he's not a dope, he's
a lot of things he's not done. I would say
he's intelligent, but I say he always comes from a
(06:31):
big government point of view. Get a pen and a paper, Hennedy,
I'm going to give you some stats. So on June first,
New York State Governor Kathy Hokeel suspended half the gasoline
tax here in New York sixteen cents a gallon. On
June one, a price of gas average in New York
four dollars ninety three cents. Now it is five dollars
(06:52):
a gallon. So the gas holiday in New York didn't
do anything because the gas retailers sneak in their own
price increases, which is exactly what's going to happen nationwide.
So you just nailed it. This is a gimmick not
going to help, all right. So here's where maybe people
(07:15):
won't believe people like you and me, we have very
similar backgrounds. So we've talked about our backgrounds. Me being
a dishwasher, a cook, a busboy, waiter, bartender. I've done
every job in construction there is to do. That that
is twenty years of my life because I started when
I was twelve, and then I got lucky and I've
(07:35):
found a radio station that put me on. The light
goes on and it changed my life. I never thought
i'd be where I am today, but I remember living
paycheck to paycheck bell two thirds of this country, our
fellow Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Now, I remember
it sucks. It's not fun, and if you have kids,
(07:56):
it's even worse. There's I don't see any and insight
for them. Even if Republicans take the House and Senate,
they still got to get the presidency in twenty twenty four.
Here's the good news, Hannity, pen and Paper again, we're
ass must and poll today. Question, how do you rate
the way President Biden is handling economic issues? Is that excellent? Good?
(08:19):
Twenty seven percent, poor, fair seventy one percent. That is
doom for Joe Biden and the Democrats. Doom d O
O M. January sixth. Committee doesn't matter equity doesn't matter.
(08:39):
Gender issues don't. Okay, let me let me bring Let
me bring a sense of urgency to your answer. Though
you're right it's a doom for him, but that's not
going to happen for two and a half years. He's
still he's still going to be an office. Sin can
I jump in? And because you have it on tape,
I am predicting that after the Democrats get acted in November,
(09:02):
he'll change next year two twenty three. And I'm taking
a big chance. It's a thirty percent chance, but I'm
gonna throw it on out. You'll get a press release.
President Biden resigns because of health reasons. Now here's my thing.
That would not surprise me. All right, good Hanna. You
(09:22):
and I are on the same moment where we're in
sync here today. That would not surprise me. But here's
the build. The problem is bigger. Well, I'm looking you're
looking at the immediate future, You're looking at the political
side of this. I'm looking at the real world consequences.
When two thirds of Americans are suffering forty one year
(09:44):
high of inflation five five dollars plus on average gasoline
going higher out of it Hannity. We're America. We can
pull out as we always have, but it's gonna be
years build. Look at there's an article on Fox Business
today retirees have lost true millions and Biden's stock market
crash trillion. Sure about it's going to take years. With
(10:05):
an ass I think it could. But just let me
make my little figure, okay. As you know, I'm a
reporter slash historian, Okay, and we have seen these cycles
before in this country. And that's why everywhere I want
everybody to hang tough. I don't want you to sell
your four oh one case or investments. That would be
(10:25):
foolish to do at this juncture in history. So once
the Republicans take over the House and the Senate, Biden's done,
not going to get anything passed, any executive order challenged
immediately in federal court. Okay. So he's through. Democratic Party
knows that they're attached to him and that his administration
(10:46):
is not going to produce anything good for America. So
they want him out. So everybody goes, oh, Kamala is worse. Yeah,
she may be, which he's a place holder, all right.
Then it's the first woman of color, it's all of
that they'll on with that, but it's not going to
be Harris in twenty four. She can't do the job,
just like Biden. They're both incompetent. So then the stock market,
(11:09):
which drives everybody's retirement and investment portfolio, they're seeing a
possibility that this progressive left movement, which is what destroyed Biden, okay,
is finished in this country done, which it probably is,
and then you'll see investments start to upswing. Now it
(11:31):
depends on who the Republicans embrace for president next time around.
At this point, it's Trump versus De Santis, okay, But
both of them are free marketeers, and Trump did very
well handling the economy. That's indisputable. You can't dispute that.
But let me we're kind of talking around each other here.
(11:54):
You're talking about the long term outcome, which I believe
is inevitable. I agree with you, But the short term
consequences are For example, with the rising interest rates. If
let's say you're a home buyer and you had a
monthly budget of twenty five hundred dollars for your mortgage
right now, because of interest rate hikes alone, you now
(12:17):
have lost one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars in spending
power this year alone. You lost more if you include
the first six months of the Biden presidency. Now what
that means is real estate brokerage. A buyer that can
afford a four hundred thousand dollars home at six percent,
that is one hundred and eighteen thousand dollars less than
(12:39):
the five hundred and seventeen thousand dollars home the same
budget would have purchased at the end of twenty twenty one.
Now all of this means is this is what's going
to happen. New home construction will stop, It'll become to
a screeching halt. Sale of existing homes will stop people
at low mortgages and not giving them up for the
higher mortgage unless you are very wealthy. That means that
(13:03):
home values will plummet, as well as the trillions we
lost in the stock market bill. And for most people,
their home is their biggest investment, so for the foreseeable future.
Reagan took Reagan two years to get the economy out
of the ditch that he inherited from Jimmy Carter. So
we're out talking about four and a half years of
(13:24):
this minimum assuming politically, everything that you're predicting happens, but
there's no alternative. The country's suffering. We're going to suffer, Yeah,
because the country made a mistake. Ye they voted for
and incompetent. That's what happened, and that's our system. So
we pay the price, and hopefully everywhere remember the pain
(13:50):
inflicted because of Biden's election. Hopefully it won't be duplicated
again in our lifetime. You can't elect in competence to
run anything or your company. Your country is going to
fall off the cliff is exactly what happened. Pause an effect.
(14:10):
All right, quick break Moore with a simple man, all
things Bill O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly dot com. And your
calls on the other side. Eight hundred and nine for
one seawan is our number. We have Senator Tom Cotton
at the top of the hour and much more straight ahead.
(14:36):
All right, we continue with all things simple man, Bill O'Reilly,
all things O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly dot com. You know
what I often say, and we're in full agreement. We
get the government we deserve, Bill, And I don't know
why this country occasionally flips and switches to the idea
of socialism or New Green dealism which is the same
(14:58):
as socialism, or you know, let me ask you this question,
because we only have a minute and a half. I
keep saying this is a religious cult, a climate alarmist
religious cult. If you're a president O'Reilly, imagine that that's
pretty laughable. You're president of O'Reilly and your gas when
you come into office, gas prices are a little over
(15:19):
two bucks a gallon to thirty nine a gallon for
a gallon gasoline, and it goes to over five dollars
a gallon. When do you say I got to change
my policy? Why? Why is there more of an adherence
to the cult than to the people. It's not that
the mass of people wanted that. It's just that the
media poorshed. They hate Trump agenda. No, no, no, Why
(15:42):
don't they change course bill? Why don't they think it's failing?
Oh yo, you mean the Biden administration. The Democrats, the
whole Democratic Party is caught up in this cult, and
they're gonna get waxed. They're they're going to go down.
But at some point, for example, both if somebody keeps
telling me, Hannity, I don't know, you keep running into
(16:03):
a wall. You're gonna bust your face up. I'm gonna
stop running into the stupid wall. I'm not a party guy.
I don't know whether either mines are gonna are gonna
wise up and go to the Clinton esque moderate arena.
I don't know if they'll do that. I just know
that the present Progressive Democratic Party is hurting this country
(16:24):
in every single area. It's heartbreaking, Bill, It's heartbreaking because
those are our fellow Our entire country is suffering needlessly.
All these problems will preventable, all of them are fixable,
but not with this group of people. And that's what sucks.
We're powerless now. Thanks Bill, appreciate all things. O'Reilly, Bill,
(16:47):
Oreilly dot com, Amazon dot com for killing the Killers.
If you want to get a copy of Bill's number
one New York Times bestseller, thank you, sir. Eight nine
Sea is a number you want to be a part
of the program. All right, think Uncle Sam accountable to
(17:15):
you every day. Hannity is on, all right, twenty five
to the top of the hour. Will get to your
phones here in a second. Obama actually was right in
two thousand and eight. Yeah, I just said that he
was right when he said these gas tax holidays are
nothing but a gimmick. Listen, all companies like Shell and
BP just reported record profits for the quarter, and we're
(17:37):
arguing over a gimmick to save you half a tank
of gas over the course of the entire summer, so
that everyone in Washington can pat themselves on the back
and say that they did something. M So is he
gonna say that to Joey? I doubt it. By the way,
the new press secretary for the President is really struggling,
(17:58):
poor Karine Jean Pierre. Now, remember she's also the person
that said when Joe Biden tripped three times climbing up
air Force one steps to get to get on an
Air Force one, She's the one that said, well, it's
very windy outside, so I don't know what's worse, the
fact that he fell down three times or the fact
that they're claiming the wind probably blew him over. She's
(18:19):
the one that said that, I'll listen to her. Now
as press secretary, she's stammering, stumbling, reading, can't She's not
keeping up with the press corps, which is particularly friendly,
with the exception of Peter Doocey, who has done a
great job there. She's struggling mightily. Listen from the action
that the President has taken with the American Rescue Plan,
(18:41):
with what we have seen, with the historical gains, that
is going to help us deal with a recession right now.
We don't see a recession right now. That is not
We're not in a recession right now. Right now, we're
in a transition where we will we are going to
go into a place of stable and steady growth the
precess been very clear and making sure that he does
(19:02):
everything that he can to elleviate, to alleviate you know
the pain that American families are feeling when it comes
to gas prices. Yeah, why isn't he drilling? So this
is the same person that claim when Biden trips three
times going up the stairs to Air Force one, that
(19:22):
well it's very windy outside. Then last week she makes
the comment Joe is so energetic, I can't even keep
up with them. Well, she must be an awful shape
if she can't keep up with them, because I don't
think I can see anybody on the maybe in Nancy
Pelosi is a close second. I don't see anybody that
is more weak or frail, or such a cognitive mess.
(19:43):
It's just an outright lie that you can't keep up
with him. And if you can't keep up with him,
then you have to ask why do you have that
job as White House Press secretary? Because he's certainly not
strong enough to be president. We're not in a recession.
We're in a transition. Okay, now we're going to pass
for and play games. No, we are in dire economic
(20:04):
streets because of Joe. Joe's policies on the economy, his
policies on energy are crushing this country unbelievable. Well, we
have better recession numbers than the rest of the world,
or inflation numbers, but then the rest of the world, No,
you don't. We have the highest level of inflation of
(20:24):
any industrialized country. Just lies. Anyway, let's get to our phones.
Gary and Massachusetts. What's up, Gary, How are you good?
How are you seoing? I just think you've ugh. I
think you'd be a little rough on on Biden. I mean,
I think he's doing a great jobs. There's going to
be growing pains when when he's implementing the New Green Deal,
(20:48):
which is just to fundamentally change our country for the better.
So you think I'm a little tough on, Joe. Let
me ask you a few questions. Okay, name me, name
me three things that he's done that has dramatically improved
the lives of the American people. Just three, short term
or long term. I'm asking what has he done to
(21:10):
date that has improved the lives of the American people.
It's a simple question. Okay, he's implementing the New Green
Deal by shutting down our petroleum output, because that's not
the country who we are. I mean to move forward.
There's going to be growing pains, You're gonna have to
go through the economic difficult So wait a minute. So
he's shut down our reliance on fossil fuels, is your answer? Yeah? Okay, Yeah?
(21:35):
How's that working out for the average American? Because he
inherited gas prices a two thirty nine a gallon, Now
it's over five dollars a gallon and going higher. How
is that? How is that a positive result for the
American people? Well, the positivity hasn't come yet, This growing
path hasn't come yet. What is it coming? How long?
(21:55):
You know? Because the administration keeps saying that when we
get to energy into pendance with renewable energies, well, we
only have twelve percent of our energy coming from renewables
meaning wind and solar, etc. So you tell me how
many years are we going to have to suffer with
high gas prices until we get to one hundred percent
renewables in terms of energy independence? And tell me, knowing
(22:19):
that it costs so much more renewable energies do than
oil and gas, how is that a benefit for us? Well?
I think after the middy'll start to see to see
what from it? What am I going to see? Am
I still going to be paying five dollars a gallon
for gasoline? Yeah? Probably? Probably? Yeah. The bottom line is
(22:42):
you so you're talking about a plan that is probably
decades and decades away from being brought to fruition, and
you're willing to allow every American family to pay. Right now,
we're paying, on average, six thousand dollars a household because
of the forty one year Biden Latian tax. Average person
that drives a car is paying over two grand more
(23:04):
for gasoline than they did last year. And that's okay
with you. And even if it takes you know what,
thirty years to get to this point of transition as
they call it, you're okay with that, But sean a
as to start somewhere, and Joe has the courage and
the fortitude to be a pioneer and put this into action.
I mean, this man knows how the government works. He's
(23:26):
a very intelligent man, and I think he's a very
intelligent man. Let me ask you a question. If the
rest of the world is using oil and gas, which
they are, because it's a lifeblood of the world's economy,
because it is. Even if you want your transition, shouldn't
you in the meantime keep your economy afloat and not
(23:51):
put this burden on your own citizens. When the rest
of the world, and you know, he joins the Paris Accords, China,
India there viewed as developing nations and we paid the
cost for all of it. Why is America doing this solo?
You tell me explain that, well, because we're going to
take in this, we're taking the lead in If we're
(24:15):
taking the lead in it, then why is Joe Biden
begging Iran, Venezuela, OPEC and the saudiast to produce more oil?
What difference does it make if we drove for oil
there in any of those countries, or we drove for
it here at home. What's the difference was Joe's importing
all that oil? What's the difference? Well, well, um, well,
(24:37):
wait a minute, wait a minute, but wait a minute.
He's been begging OPEC and OPEC has been rejecting him.
He's going to Saudi Arabia, the country he said as
a pariah country, to meet with the crown Prince who
he accused I think rightly so MBS of killing uh
journalist Kamal Kashogi. What is he going to Saudi Arabia
(24:59):
for for no other reason to beg them for more
oil and gas? When we have enough oil and gas
here to last for hundreds of years. Why don't we
use our own natural resources? Because we've eliminated more greenhouse
gas emissions than any other industrialized country in the Trump years. It, yeah,
that's great and we should keep doing it. But I don't. Well,
(25:20):
but it happened under Trump at the same time we
were becoming energy independent. What Trump created this bubble that
first that that wasn't sustainable. I mean, Joe's a smart man.
Excuse me, Joe. You could say Joe's a smart man.
Do you think Joe is physically strong He's just do
(25:44):
you do you think Joe Biden has cognitive uh is
in a cognitive decline, probably would be at that age,
but he has a lot on his plate. I didn't
ask you. I have a lot on my plate too.
Do you think Joe is in a state of cognitive
a client as much as any seventy nine year old
would be. Possibly? Yes, All right, let me play for
(26:06):
you this. Let me play for you this montage of Joe,
and I want you to listen very close to me
and tell me if you I'll ask you the same question.
On the other side. Listen the political coverage. Look some
(26:27):
of the political players and some of them let me
ask a rhetorical question. Now that sounds like somebody that's
cognitively alert to you. Well, now, I'm up. I believe
(26:50):
we could do that in any of us. By the way, No,
this is Joe every day, and I could play you
Joe from twenty sixteen, and he's a lot more articulate
than he is today. I've done it on television and
on radio. You know, the problem is is you've got
your head in the sand and you can live in
your little fantasy world. And but meanwhile, because of his
(27:11):
policies to unilaterally wean America off of quote fossil fuels,
which really is about weaning ourselves off a domestic fossil
fuels of which we have an abundance in terms of
natural resources. And then he's gonna go kiss the ass
of two bit dictators like the Crown Prince in Saudi
(27:32):
Arabia sending emissaries over to the Venezuela to talk to
that murdering and trying to do another deal with the
rand the country, the chance death to America. Now, if
that sounds like a sensible policy for you, you have
lost touch with all reality. You are. You have just you.
(27:53):
You drank every bit of the kool aid if there was,
if there was five gallons of it, you sucked it
all down with a strong and you're living in a
world of make believe. This is an unmitigated disaster. And
the fact that you can and acknowledge it. The rest
of the world they know that the lifeblood of the
world's economy is oil, gas, and coal. And because of
(28:16):
people like you that are lying to us telling us, well,
we're just going to transition to this renewable energy. In
the long term, it's going to be good for you.
Eat your spinach. Okay. The fact is we couldn't make
the transition to renewable energy, which is only twelve percent
of our electric grid. We couldn't do it in twenty
years if we put every dollar we had as a
(28:39):
as a country into it. So you live in your
fantasy world, and the rest of America now suffers because
of people like you. With all due respect, I'm not
being mean. I'm just saying that your policies are utterly
detached from reality and they're dumb. This is a dumb idea.
What you're communicating, your ideas, your ideas. And I'm gonna
(29:07):
beg who. I'm not begging anybody. I'm saying what, he's
gonna get what you want because he knows what he's doing.
He's gonna do get what he wants. He knows what
he's doing. Well, I don't even think he knows today's Wednesday.
He speaks. Listen, he speaks. I mean he speaks. What
after he falls off his bike when he speaks and
(29:28):
he stumbles up downstairs going up to Air Force one
and you never had that couldn't have been going on camera.
I don't I don't know what's worse when you saw
him struggle and trip three separate times climbing up Air
Force one, and then his future Press secretary says, well,
it's very windy out there. I don't know what's worse
the fact that he tripped three times, the fact that
(29:49):
they think the wind blew him over. Yeah, that was
jump David. But I've been there, done that. I've just
going upstairs. Okay, then you're your good partners. You guys
should go biking together. Then you're perfe prepare. But you know,
it's it's amazing to me that there are people like
you that actually buy this at this total Adam bull shift,
(30:11):
because that's what it is. You're living in a fantasy world.
I am part of the vast majorities on f the
grips of that. I don't necessarily believe it's the majority.
We're going to learn an awful lot in November. You
know what I think's going to happen. I think Americans
are going to see the failure that is this administration.
You could not in this call, and I gave in
(30:32):
you multiple opportunities. You can't name a single thing Joe
