In the news roundup hour, Sean Hannity details what he describes as one of the most significant military operations in modern history. Hannity and Senator Steve Daines discuss the precision strikes that eliminated Iran’s top leadership and targeted thousands of military sites in just days. Supporters argue the operation prevented a nuclear-armed Iran and protected future generations from an existential threat. Hannity also breaks down the political backlash from Democrats and isolationists who oppose the strikes, accusing them of ignoring the danger posed by the Iranian regime. The conversation explores how advanced military technology, intelligence coordination, and the U.S.–Israel partnership changed the course of the conflict almost instantly. Hannity frames the operation as a turning point that could ultimately reshape the Middle East and open the door to lasting peace.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Frank Leonard Skinner's simple man that means only 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 of course at billoreilly dot com. This is his
favorite half hour of the week. Mister O'Reilly, sir, how
are you you know?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm driving into your favorite place, New York City.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You have my sympathy. It's not my favorite place. I
can't stand it with all the traffic. All right, we
got a lot to talk about, and I'm going to
start out in a way that's a little bit different,
and I want to get your no spin take on it.
And look, the Iranians are modern day radical Islamic fascist,
(00:48):
and we know that they have been fomenting terror, killing Americans.
I can go through the whole history of it. You
know it as well as I do. The audience knows
it as well as I do. And after we Operation
Midnight Hammer, you would think they would have learned something.
I had Steve Witkoff on the other night negotiating with
the Iranians, and it's like they learned nothing, and they
(01:10):
were reconstituting their nuclear program, rebuilding their ballistic missiles programs
and their drone programs, and obviously they only do it
because they want to terrorize the entire region. Now, if
we care, and you're a historian, if we care about
future generations, and I know you do, you care about
your children, future grandchildren, future great grandchildren, it's our obligation
(01:35):
to leave the world, to save a place for them,
and a better place than what we found it. And
Donald Trump had a very hard and fast rule which
I completely agree with. Iran can never have nuclear weapons,
and they once again were pursuing them. They learned nothing
from Midnight Hammer. So I don't see that the president
(01:58):
had a choice. He would have deferred a deal that said.
They even offered to give them civilian used uranium in
perpetuity for free, and they wouldn't take that deal because
they would never give up their nuclear, you know, weapons ambitions.
So I want to ask you the question this way
(02:19):
through the prism of the critics, even within the conservative movement,
the isolationists in our movement, this is not an America's
best interest. America is acting on behalf of Israel. First
of all, Donald Trump acts on behalf of Donald Trump.
What Donald Trump thinks nobody convinces Donald Trump to do
something he doesn't want to do.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You can't pressure that man, you know it, I know what.
We've known him thirty plus years. But that is the
shortsightedness of the analysis of some And I want to
get your take on that, because I think they're stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well a little bit more to it than being stupid.
There's deception. So this conflict with Iran is almost exactly
like the conflict with Afghanistan after nine eleven. It's almost
exactly the same thing. So you'll remember, the Taliban was
(03:17):
harboring El Kaieda. They wouldn't give them up, and the
American government said, we're gonna go on in and if
you're not going to cooperate, we're going to remove you
from power, which is exactly what happened. Okay, Now, the
(03:39):
problem was that back then the Bush administration believed that
they could change the Afghan political system, and that turned
out to be false. They couldn't do it. They couldn't
do it in Iraq either, but they did remove the
heinous individuals that were causing so much pain and suffering.
(04:04):
So you would think that the Trump administration has learned
that historical lesson, and I believe they have. They're not
gonna use the clichepe boots on the ground. If I
hear that one more time, I'm gonna hit somebody with
a boot. Okay, that's not in the car.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know it wouldn't be smart to hit me with
a boot. Bill You know that, right.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But you don't say boots on the ground. That's too much,
do you.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You know, I say the Trump doctrine is no forever
wars and no boots on the ground, or no, we're
not sending troops on the ground, but military technology is advanced,
we don't need to.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Okay. So now what you have is a theocracy in Iran.
It basically said to everybody, not just the United States,
We're gonna do what we want, and that includes we're
gonna build and we'll use them for anything we want
to use them for, which violates every nuke treaty and
(05:05):
all that, and the rest of the world almost all
of them say, okay, go ahead, one exception the United States.
Now that takes courage to do that, to stand pretty
much alone. Israel is our ally and Israel obviously has
a tremendous motivator because Iran Israel right now with ballistic missiles,
(05:30):
all you got to do is put the nuke on
the end of the missile and boom. You got that.
So Israel is on board. But that's all the rest
of them just playing games. The U n the Vatican,
the you Nada, you know, Spain, you can't land planes.
So it's just another example of how the world is
(05:53):
cowardly and looks away from evil. And that's why I
wrote the book Confronting Evil. It's exactly the same thing
history repeating itself. Now inside the United States, we actually
have Democrats. Murphy in Connecticut is the worst of them,
the senator who are rooting for us to lose Hannity.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
They hate well Hakeem Jeffries actually said we will lose
this war. And I'm like, are you watching the same
thing I'm watching?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, and he wants it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know about Jeffries wanting it, but I know
Murphy does, and he wants his own country to lose.
I mean, that's beyond anything. Even if you dissent from
the action, and you can make a legitimate point that
we didn't have to do it now, could have done
it in May or August okay, because they're not on
(06:49):
the verge. But the weakness was shown, and that's why
President Trump jumped in. Once the uprising happened and it
was prety thousand Persians killed according to the estimates that
came out of there, then the Trump administration says, now's
the time to go, because we might be able to
(07:11):
knock out the top leadership which the United States and
Israel has, and then the Persian people would rise and
replace that government that is ill defined. We don't know
whether that will happen, but that's why it happened. The
action happened now, and you're absolutely right. I talked to
President Trump as you do, about the offer that he
(07:36):
made the Mullas and it was a very generous offer,
just like Maduro. Just like Maduro, Bill.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Bell, I know what the offer is. They would offer
and they would provide for them any uranium they may
need for civilian use, low grade, not highly enriched uranium.
They couldn't have enrichment facilities. They would have all of
the uranium they needed for billion used, for free and
(08:02):
in perpetuity. We would give it to them. That was
the offer. You can't get a better deal than that.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But they don't want peace. So these are who want death.
They want death, they fund death. They are terrorists, enablers.
You see as Alah now attacking Israel. That's all Iranian money.
And then I'm so furious about the Biden administration when
these people step off Kamala Harris and say, oh, hey,
(08:31):
you sat there for four years and pumped in seventy
billion dollars to Iran. That's what you did for four years.
You pumped in seventy billion. What do you think that
money went?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And these people so did your buddy Obama. He sends
in cargo planes full of cash and other currency. How
sick was that?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But the Biden people were worse because the carry was
a Secretary of State Kerry knew And you haven't heard
anything from John Kerry. He must be hiding out in Nantucket.
He ends it a blank and word because he knew,
and that intel was passed on to Biden's and his
people that these Iranians are not gonna stop. But even
(09:18):
knowing that, Biden continued to pump billions of dollars into Tehran.
My god, and I want to make.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
One more see, yeah, make your point. I have one
more question about this.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay, if you watch ABC's World News tonight last night,
we're losing the war hand as you know that.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, I missed that part.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, we got a surrender. We got a surrender.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We've got a surrender. Is that what they're saying? Oh man,
you know they wonder why legacy media is dead? All right,
quick break right back, All things simple Man, Bill O'Reilly
on the other side, all things O'Reilly or billoreilly dot com.
Then we'll get to your calls coming up. Eight hundred
and nine to four one, Sean our number. If you
want to be a part of the program. I'm looking
(10:06):
for fake news, I'll find it here you are with
Sean Hannity.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
All here now Now.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I got to continue our final moments with all things
self described simple man, all things Bill O'Reilly, all things
O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly dot com. All right, So we
do have one thing in common. And you're more of
a historian than I am. But I did a lot
of historical research for the book I wrote years Deliver
Us from Evil, Defeating Terrorism, Despotism and Liberalism. And I
(11:06):
brought this point out now a number of times. And
if you go back to the last century. My father
spent four years in the Pacific. For example, you go
back to the last century and you look at Mao
in China and Stalin and Russia, Hitler, Germany, Mussolini, fascism
Tojo Japan, whole pod the killing fields. It is estimated,
(11:28):
and if you want to correct my numbers, please do.
About one hundred million plus human souls were murdered in
the name of whatever ism it is. And you know,
we've got to learn the lessons of history. We had
a window of opportunity here. We gave the Iranians a
chance to choose peace. I think the President went above,
(11:50):
above and beyond. But he also had the principle, we're
not going to let you hold the world hostage with
nuclear weapons. We know that's your ambition, and we'll make
a deal with you. This is the deal. I just
explained it. They said no. And President Trump has enough
(12:11):
knowledge of history to understand we owe it to future
generations not to imprison them, you know, under the thread
of you know, being hit with a nuclear weapon by
these radical Islamo fascist lunatics that we're running around that
(12:32):
are now dead. And I will tell you one other thing.
The fact that New military technology. Advanced military technology allowed,
you know, within the first thirty seconds of this conflict,
to take out the supreme leader, Ali Hamanie and forty
of the other top officials, and yesterday to take out
(12:53):
the special council designed to pick his successor. Now we're
hearing that it might be Ali Hamani's grandson that takes over.
It doesn't matter. That person will probably be dead before
this is all said and done. But not having that
wisdom and insight makes the world unstable. And what frustrates
(13:16):
me is those people that claim even to be American
America first, don't have the wisdom that this is in
America's best interest. Do not allow people that say death
to America, chant death to America, death to Israel to
have these brutal weapons of mass destruction, because they will
(13:37):
then hold you hostage, and those lunatics probably would use it.
They don't respect human life. They think they're doing God's will.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Americ he's always had a strain of isolationism, even with Hitler,
Charles Lindbergh, Joseph Kennedy, They're all saying, Jesse R, Now
you can't give England any weapons. I can't do this.
You can't do that. We've always had it ever since
the George Washington era. But in theory, you're right. Here's
(14:08):
the problem. There is a problem. This is an enormous
risk for President Trump. Enormous because it has to play
out the way Venezuela did. It has to be perceived
as a victory. Now there's no time limit on it.
As the networks with you know, screaming how long, how
(14:29):
long you know you're an idiot? And they really are idiot, Sannity,
I know they are.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
They're so dumb. I don't even pay attention to them anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Shock.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You have about thirty seconds, so I'll let you wrap
it up.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay. It's a risk for President Trump because if it
doesn't work out, if it is a stalemate and the
Persians don't overthrow, he's gonna get hammered in November. It's
a risk.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Donald Trump is a risk taker, number one, and he
does what's right and doesn't think about the consequences. Number two.
And that's the part of Donald Trump that I admired
the most. That's it. I mean, it's it's either he's
he's putting future generations above any political considerations, and I
admire it, and I even admire you, mister O'Riley. I
(15:20):
don't know why I'm saying that, but I do.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Oh no, thanks man, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly at Billoreilly dot com. Sir,
we appreciate you. Thank you for being with us. This
is a hipping point moment. There are very few Democrats,
only one I can think of that understand that the
Iranians that have been fomenting terror, killing Americans all of
(15:48):
these years and have been, you know, feverishly looking for
nuclear weapons, and all these past presidents have done everything
from bribe the Mullas and iran the supreme leaders to
you know, kissing their ass and begging them pretty pleased
with sugar on top. You know, don't don't continue to
build out your nuclear facilities. It is a radical regime
(16:11):
that is an existential threat to the entire world. Specifically,
they want to target the United States and Israel. It's
not that complicated. You don't need to be you know,
a a foreign correspondent to understand it. And then you
have people that want to you know, play into the
(16:34):
either isolationist wing that is within the country and and
Alrightley was right, there's always been that wing in the country,
or you have, you know, the I Hate Donald Trump crowd,
which just wants to go against anything that Donald Trump
ever says or does. And this is amazing to me
(16:55):
because you know, Gavin, I don't even know where Gavin was.
He's never home, he never does his day jobs. He's
a world traveler. He's a full time Trump stalker, you know. Now,
he's a full time ex poster, tweety bird, podcaster, author,
(17:15):
world traveler, doing everything except helping his state of California,
which is deteriorated to a level that is incomprehensible to
anybody that has a brain. And he's not doing the
job he was elected to do. He just wants to
be president and he doesn't care. And this is now
him giving into the radical base of the left wing
(17:39):
in this country that doesn't support Israel, that doesn't support
safety and security. The same people that defund the Department
of Homeland Security, defund ice, the same people that want
to defund this, mantle the police, no bail laws, sanctuary
cities in states like California. That's Gavin Newsom, that is
(18:00):
that is what he would offer if he were president
of this country. He cannot be elected. I don't think
he's electable, but that's a separate issue. He might have
the look, he may sound smooth, he may be slick
like his hair, but he'd be a horrible president, like
he's a horrible governor. Avenewsom now wants to appeal to
(18:20):
the radical I hate Israel wing of his party, and
now he's claiming, for the first time that I know of,
that he's open to an arms embargo on Israel. This
is what he said.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Do you think, looking down the road that the United
States would consider maybe, you know, rethinking our military support
for Israel. It breaks my heart because the current leadership
in Israel is walking us down that path. Or I
don't think you have a choice, but that.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Consideration Israel did not make up Donald Trump's mind. That
is a lie, That is a falsehood. It is he
They're made by those that are anti symbitic or those
that have no understanding of the region. I'm not sure
which category he's in. And then he calls Israel an
(19:10):
apartheid state. It is anything but an apartheid state. Christians
live in Israel, Arabs live in Israel. Listen to Gavin
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
But the issue of BB's interesting because he's got his
own domestic issues. He's trying to stay out of jail,
he's got an election coming up. He's potentially on the ropes.
He's got folks the hard line that want to annex
the West West Bank I mean, Freeman and others are
talking about it appropriately sort of an apartheid state. They
couldn't even I mean, we're talking about regime change for
(19:43):
two years. They haven't even been able to solve the
Hamas question in Israel.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Talking about cigars and like bug bugs bunny, you know,
gifts that the Prime Minister got a trial that's gone
on for ten years that's not going anywhere. Then he
goes further sizing President Trump for having no plan on Iran.
Now no plan. Within thirty seconds, they took out the
(20:08):
Supreme Leader and the top forty leaders within Iran. They've
taken out their ballistic missile sites, their air defense systems.
We own the skies all over Iran. We've been sinking
their ships left, right, and sideways. It's been one of
the most shock and awe, you know, successful military endeavors
that we've ever seen in history. And I have no
(20:32):
idea what the hell he's talking about because and he
has minimized the deaths of Americans, but he's thinking about
the future. A nuclear armed Iran would be a forever
existential threat to the continental United States. And Donald Trump said,
not on his watch. That will not be his legacy.
(20:54):
But here's how Newsom sees it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I hope it's Donnie and everybody. He had no plan,
no strategy, He had no interest or desire to engage you, me,
all of us in understanding the why why now? What's
the imminent threat? What are they intended and unintended consequences?
The prospect of this becoming a regional war was that
thought through who was going to take over for the
(21:20):
supreme leader, particularly after you went through forty nine others,
And now today Trump says, well, maybe it doesn't work out,
Maybe we get someone who's worse, you know. But nothing
was more damning. I think of the moment and this
administration and who Donald Trump is. It goes to the
(21:40):
heart of who he is than his press conference yesterday
where his remarks where he was lamenting the live now
at six but four Americans that died and you mentioned
them in passing and then went on to mention in
great detail the drapes and the imperial palace on the
(22:03):
east wing that he's building in, you know, and went
on to talk about the pile drive with real passion
and conviction. It says everything about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
No, it says everything about Gavin Newsom. He actually made
the case and was Joe Biden's special pleader, Joe Biden
and Obama giving the Iranians billions of dollars in cash
and other currency. Oh, that was a brilliant strategy. This
guy is obsessed with Donald Trump, just obsessed with him,
(22:35):
and a guy that does nothing to help his own state.
You can't even get a building permit in the Pacific Palisades.
It's pathetic. Let's get to our busy telephones eight hundred
ninety four one, Sean. If you want to be a
part of the program, let's say hi to Troy in
North Carolina. Hey, Troy, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Good to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Man.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I was just I wanted to talk about like a
keen Jefferies and listening to what you're saying about news
and stuff. What they don't and I believe they do
realize it. But the sad part is if you know,
like affordability and young young families wanting to start, uh,
you know, start a family, And just like in California,
(23:17):
how many young families are excited to start a family
in California? I bet a whole lot less than it
used to be, you know what I mean. So then
then you look at Iran. I've got five kids myself
and thinking, how are they ever going to be excited
about starting their lives affordability and having children, buying homes
(23:37):
any of that. If you're if Iran has a nuclear weapon,
that not that they're they may use it, but they're
definitely going.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
To use it.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Where is the peace of mind? Where is the excitement?
When that is what you have? There is no excitement,
There is no peace of mind, There is no starting
of the family, There is no worrying about affordability or gas.
What what is more important worrying about gas or one
about a nuclear weapon being shot? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It is I mean, I'm looking at this party and
I'm looking at the Democrats and they're cheering for American
failure here when the world we already know is now
a safer place as a result of Midnight Hammer in
this operation epic fury. It just is. And where's the
Democratic Party? There's still you know, they defund the Department
(24:27):
of Homeland Security when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris let in,
you know, fourteen million and twelve million, fourteen we don't
know how many millions of people unvetted from over two
hundred countries, including known terrorists, and now we have to
clean up that mess with knowing that may be Iranian
sleeper cells in the country. A party that's in favor
(24:47):
of amnesty for people that did not respect our laws, borders, sovereignty,
a party for open borders, sanctuary cities and states, defund
dismantle the police, and and you know, and no bail laws.
I mean, I just what does this party stand for?
What's happened to these people? All common senses missing from
(25:10):
all of them. I have no patience for any of
them anymore. I don't have patients for dumb people. I've
had it. I've had it with all of them.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Yeah. Well, luckily, there's enough conservative Christian people in our
government and our cities and our states that that's the
only reason why it hadn't completely fallen apart, is there's
enough conservative Christian people that is involved in this country
that keeps it from fault. Because if you left it
all to them, if you gave them all control, all
(25:39):
decisions that are being made by them, do what you
will with it, it would all crumble, you know what
I mean, It would all fall just we wouldn't even
have a country. But luckily we have enough conservative Christian
people that keeps it moving. And we just got to
keep raising our children to be conservative, well Christian conservative,
let me say it that way, because that's the most
(25:59):
point way to say it. But if we can keep
more of that and I'll get more of that in
our country will get back. That's called That's what make
America great again? Is about that exact statement. Christian conservative people.
That's what makes and it doesn't matter what color you are,
but Christian conservative people is what makes America great period.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
People with wisdom learn the lessons of history. And I
went over this with O'Reilly and I don't. If we
don't stop emerging threats as as they pop their head
up and take them out early, then we are then
risking the future of our children and grandchildren in the
world that they will inherit. That is the wisdom behind
(26:44):
this very difficult but very important mission that President Trump
has partnered with Israel.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Lade.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's in our best national and natural national interests, it's
in our best national security interests, and it's in our
kids and grandkids' best interests. And the world is a
safer place. And I think on the other side of this,
my hope is that we're going to see a piece
that hopefully is lasting in the Middle East, one that
has not been achievable up to this point. Anyway, I
(27:15):
appreciate you, Thank you, Troy. All Right, quick break right
back to our busy phones. Here's our toll free number.
It's eight hundred and nine foot one Sean if you
want to be a part of the program as we
continue
Frank Leonard Skinner's simple man that means only 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 of course at billoreilly dot com. This is his
favorite half hour of the week. Mister O'Reilly, sir, how
are you you know?
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm driving into your favorite place, New York City.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You have my sympathy. It's not my favorite place. I
can't stand it with all the traffic. All right, we
got a lot to talk about, and I'm going to
start out in a way that's a little bit different,
and I want to get your no spin take on it.
And look, the Iranians are modern day radical Islamic fascist,
(00:48):
and we know that they have been fomenting terror, killing Americans.
I can go through the whole history of it. You
know it as well as I do. The audience knows
it as well as I do. And after we Operation
Midnight Hammer, you would think they would have learned something.
I had Steve Witkoff on the other night negotiating with
the Iranians, and it's like they learned nothing, and they
(01:10):
were reconstituting their nuclear program, rebuilding their ballistic missiles programs
and their drone programs, and obviously they only do it
because they want to terrorize the entire region. Now, if
we care, and you're a historian, if we care about
future generations, and I know you do, you care about
your children, future grandchildren, future great grandchildren, it's our obligation
(01:35):
to leave the world, to save a place for them,
and a better place than what we found it. And
Donald Trump had a very hard and fast rule which
I completely agree with. Iran can never have nuclear weapons,
and they once again were pursuing them. They learned nothing
from Midnight Hammer. So I don't see that the president
(01:58):
had a choice. He would have deferred a deal that said.
They even offered to give them civilian used uranium in
perpetuity for free, and they wouldn't take that deal because
they would never give up their nuclear, you know, weapons ambitions.
So I want to ask you the question this way
(02:19):
through the prism of the critics, even within the conservative movement,
the isolationists in our movement, this is not an America's
best interest. America is acting on behalf of Israel. First
of all, Donald Trump acts on behalf of Donald Trump.
What Donald Trump thinks nobody convinces Donald Trump to do
something he doesn't want to do.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
That.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You can't pressure that man, you know it, I know what.
We've known him thirty plus years. But that is the
shortsightedness of the analysis of some And I want to
get your take on that, because I think they're stupid.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well a little bit more to it than being stupid.
There's deception. So this conflict with Iran is almost exactly
like the conflict with Afghanistan after nine eleven. It's almost
exactly the same thing. So you'll remember, the Taliban was
(03:17):
harboring El Kaieda. They wouldn't give them up, and the
American government said, we're gonna go on in and if
you're not going to cooperate, we're going to remove you
from power, which is exactly what happened. Okay, Now, the
(03:39):
problem was that back then the Bush administration believed that
they could change the Afghan political system, and that turned
out to be false. They couldn't do it. They couldn't
do it in Iraq either, but they did remove the
heinous individuals that were causing so much pain and suffering.
(04:04):
So you would think that the Trump administration has learned
that historical lesson, and I believe they have. They're not
gonna use the clichepe boots on the ground. If I
hear that one more time, I'm gonna hit somebody with
a boot. Okay, that's not in the car.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know it wouldn't be smart to hit me with
a boot. Bill You know that, right.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
But you don't say boots on the ground. That's too much,
do you.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
You know, I say the Trump doctrine is no forever
wars and no boots on the ground, or no, we're
not sending troops on the ground, but military technology is advanced,
we don't need to.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
Okay. So now what you have is a theocracy in Iran.
It basically said to everybody, not just the United States,
We're gonna do what we want, and that includes we're
gonna build and we'll use them for anything we want
to use them for, which violates every nuke treaty and
(05:05):
all that, and the rest of the world almost all
of them say, okay, go ahead, one exception the United States.
Now that takes courage to do that, to stand pretty
much alone. Israel is our ally and Israel obviously has
a tremendous motivator because Iran Israel right now with ballistic missiles,
(05:30):
all you got to do is put the nuke on
the end of the missile and boom. You got that.
So Israel is on board. But that's all the rest
of them just playing games. The U n the Vatican,
the you Nada, you know, Spain, you can't land planes.
So it's just another example of how the world is
(05:53):
cowardly and looks away from evil. And that's why I
wrote the book Confronting Evil. It's exactly the same thing
history repeating itself. Now inside the United States, we actually
have Democrats. Murphy in Connecticut is the worst of them,
the senator who are rooting for us to lose Hannity.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
They hate well Hakeem Jeffries actually said we will lose
this war. And I'm like, are you watching the same
thing I'm watching?
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, and he wants it.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
I don't know about Jeffries wanting it, but I know
Murphy does, and he wants his own country to lose.
I mean, that's beyond anything. Even if you dissent from
the action, and you can make a legitimate point that
we didn't have to do it now, could have done
it in May or August okay, because they're not on
(06:49):
the verge. But the weakness was shown, and that's why
President Trump jumped in. Once the uprising happened and it
was prety thousand Persians killed according to the estimates that
came out of there, then the Trump administration says, now's
the time to go, because we might be able to
(07:11):
knock out the top leadership which the United States and
Israel has, and then the Persian people would rise and
replace that government that is ill defined. We don't know
whether that will happen, but that's why it happened. The
action happened now, and you're absolutely right. I talked to
President Trump as you do, about the offer that he
(07:36):
made the Mullas and it was a very generous offer,
just like Maduro. Just like Maduro, Bill.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Bell, I know what the offer is. They would offer
and they would provide for them any uranium they may
need for civilian use, low grade, not highly enriched uranium.
They couldn't have enrichment facilities. They would have all of
the uranium they needed for billion used, for free and
(08:02):
in perpetuity. We would give it to them. That was
the offer. You can't get a better deal than that.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
But they don't want peace. So these are who want death.
They want death, they fund death. They are terrorists, enablers.
You see as Alah now attacking Israel. That's all Iranian money.
And then I'm so furious about the Biden administration when
these people step off Kamala Harris and say, oh, hey,
(08:31):
you sat there for four years and pumped in seventy
billion dollars to Iran. That's what you did for four years.
You pumped in seventy billion. What do you think that
money went?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And these people so did your buddy Obama. He sends
in cargo planes full of cash and other currency. How
sick was that?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
But the Biden people were worse because the carry was
a Secretary of State Kerry knew And you haven't heard
anything from John Kerry. He must be hiding out in Nantucket.
He ends it a blank and word because he knew,
and that intel was passed on to Biden's and his
people that these Iranians are not gonna stop. But even
(09:18):
knowing that, Biden continued to pump billions of dollars into Tehran.
My god, and I want to make.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
One more see, yeah, make your point. I have one
more question about this.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Okay, if you watch ABC's World News tonight last night,
we're losing the war hand as you know that.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
No, I missed that part.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
No, we got a surrender. We got a surrender.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
We've got a surrender. Is that what they're saying? Oh man,
you know they wonder why legacy media is dead? All right,
quick break right back, All things simple Man, Bill O'Reilly
on the other side, all things O'Reilly or billoreilly dot com.
Then we'll get to your calls coming up. Eight hundred
and nine to four one, Sean our number. If you
want to be a part of the program. I'm looking
(10:06):
for fake news, I'll find it here you are with
Sean Hannity.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
All here now Now.
Speaker 1 (10:42):
I got to continue our final moments with all things
self described simple man, all things Bill O'Reilly, all things
O'Reilly at Bill O'Reilly dot com. All right, So we
do have one thing in common. And you're more of
a historian than I am. But I did a lot
of historical research for the book I wrote years Deliver
Us from Evil, Defeating Terrorism, Despotism and Liberalism. And I
(11:06):
brought this point out now a number of times. And
if you go back to the last century. My father
spent four years in the Pacific. For example, you go
back to the last century and you look at Mao
in China and Stalin and Russia, Hitler, Germany, Mussolini, fascism
Tojo Japan, whole pod the killing fields. It is estimated,
(11:28):
and if you want to correct my numbers, please do.
About one hundred million plus human souls were murdered in
the name of whatever ism it is. And you know,
we've got to learn the lessons of history. We had
a window of opportunity here. We gave the Iranians a
chance to choose peace. I think the President went above,
(11:50):
above and beyond. But he also had the principle, we're
not going to let you hold the world hostage with
nuclear weapons. We know that's your ambition, and we'll make
a deal with you. This is the deal. I just
explained it. They said no. And President Trump has enough
(12:11):
knowledge of history to understand we owe it to future
generations not to imprison them, you know, under the thread
of you know, being hit with a nuclear weapon by
these radical Islamo fascist lunatics that we're running around that
(12:32):
are now dead. And I will tell you one other thing.
The fact that New military technology. Advanced military technology allowed,
you know, within the first thirty seconds of this conflict,
to take out the supreme leader, Ali Hamanie and forty
of the other top officials, and yesterday to take out
(12:53):
the special council designed to pick his successor. Now we're
hearing that it might be Ali Hamani's grandson that takes over.
It doesn't matter. That person will probably be dead before
this is all said and done. But not having that
wisdom and insight makes the world unstable. And what frustrates
(13:16):
me is those people that claim even to be American
America first, don't have the wisdom that this is in
America's best interest. Do not allow people that say death
to America, chant death to America, death to Israel to
have these brutal weapons of mass destruction, because they will
(13:37):
then hold you hostage, and those lunatics probably would use it.
They don't respect human life. They think they're doing God's will.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
Americ he's always had a strain of isolationism, even with Hitler,
Charles Lindbergh, Joseph Kennedy, They're all saying, Jesse R, Now
you can't give England any weapons. I can't do this.
You can't do that. We've always had it ever since
the George Washington era. But in theory, you're right. Here's
(14:08):
the problem. There is a problem. This is an enormous
risk for President Trump. Enormous because it has to play
out the way Venezuela did. It has to be perceived
as a victory. Now there's no time limit on it.
As the networks with you know, screaming how long, how
(14:29):
long you know you're an idiot? And they really are idiot, Sannity,
I know they are.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
They're so dumb. I don't even pay attention to them anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Shock.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
You have about thirty seconds, so I'll let you wrap
it up.
Speaker 2 (14:41):
Okay. It's a risk for President Trump because if it
doesn't work out, if it is a stalemate and the
Persians don't overthrow, he's gonna get hammered in November. It's
a risk.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Donald Trump is a risk taker, number one, and he
does what's right and doesn't think about the consequences. Number two.
And that's the part of Donald Trump that I admired
the most. That's it. I mean, it's it's either he's
he's putting future generations above any political considerations, and I
admire it, and I even admire you, mister O'Riley. I
(15:20):
don't know why I'm saying that, but I do.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
Oh no, thanks man, all right, all.
Speaker 1 (15:27):
Things simple, man, Bill O'Reilly at Billoreilly dot com. Sir,
we appreciate you. Thank you for being with us. This
is a hipping point moment. There are very few Democrats,
only one I can think of that understand that the
Iranians that have been fomenting terror, killing Americans all of
(15:48):
these years and have been, you know, feverishly looking for
nuclear weapons, and all these past presidents have done everything
from bribe the Mullas and iran the supreme leaders to
you know, kissing their ass and begging them pretty pleased
with sugar on top. You know, don't don't continue to
build out your nuclear facilities. It is a radical regime
(16:11):
that is an existential threat to the entire world. Specifically,
they want to target the United States and Israel. It's
not that complicated. You don't need to be you know,
a a foreign correspondent to understand it. And then you
have people that want to you know, play into the
(16:34):
either isolationist wing that is within the country and and
Alrightley was right, there's always been that wing in the country,
or you have, you know, the I Hate Donald Trump crowd,
which just wants to go against anything that Donald Trump
ever says or does. And this is amazing to me
(16:55):
because you know, Gavin, I don't even know where Gavin was.
He's never home, he never does his day jobs. He's
a world traveler. He's a full time Trump stalker, you know. Now,
he's a full time ex poster, tweety bird, podcaster, author,
(17:15):
world traveler, doing everything except helping his state of California,
which is deteriorated to a level that is incomprehensible to
anybody that has a brain. And he's not doing the
job he was elected to do. He just wants to
be president and he doesn't care. And this is now
him giving into the radical base of the left wing
(17:39):
in this country that doesn't support Israel, that doesn't support
safety and security. The same people that defund the Department
of Homeland Security, defund ice, the same people that want
to defund this, mantle the police, no bail laws, sanctuary
cities in states like California. That's Gavin Newsom, that is
(18:00):
that is what he would offer if he were president
of this country. He cannot be elected. I don't think
he's electable, but that's a separate issue. He might have
the look, he may sound smooth, he may be slick
like his hair, but he'd be a horrible president, like
he's a horrible governor. Avenewsom now wants to appeal to
(18:20):
the radical I hate Israel wing of his party, and
now he's claiming, for the first time that I know of,
that he's open to an arms embargo on Israel. This
is what he said.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Do you think, looking down the road that the United
States would consider maybe, you know, rethinking our military support
for Israel. It breaks my heart because the current leadership
in Israel is walking us down that path. Or I
don't think you have a choice, but that.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Consideration Israel did not make up Donald Trump's mind. That
is a lie, That is a falsehood. It is he
They're made by those that are anti symbitic or those
that have no understanding of the region. I'm not sure
which category he's in. And then he calls Israel an
(19:10):
apartheid state. It is anything but an apartheid state. Christians
live in Israel, Arabs live in Israel. Listen to Gavin
talk about it.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
But the issue of BB's interesting because he's got his
own domestic issues. He's trying to stay out of jail,
he's got an election coming up. He's potentially on the ropes.
He's got folks the hard line that want to annex
the West West Bank I mean, Freeman and others are
talking about it appropriately sort of an apartheid state. They
couldn't even I mean, we're talking about regime change for
(19:43):
two years. They haven't even been able to solve the
Hamas question in Israel.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Talking about cigars and like bug bugs bunny, you know,
gifts that the Prime Minister got a trial that's gone
on for ten years that's not going anywhere. Then he
goes further sizing President Trump for having no plan on Iran.
Now no plan. Within thirty seconds, they took out the
(20:08):
Supreme Leader and the top forty leaders within Iran. They've
taken out their ballistic missile sites, their air defense systems.
We own the skies all over Iran. We've been sinking
their ships left, right, and sideways. It's been one of
the most shock and awe, you know, successful military endeavors
that we've ever seen in history. And I have no
(20:32):
idea what the hell he's talking about because and he
has minimized the deaths of Americans, but he's thinking about
the future. A nuclear armed Iran would be a forever
existential threat to the continental United States. And Donald Trump said,
not on his watch. That will not be his legacy.
(20:54):
But here's how Newsom sees it.
Speaker 4 (20:57):
I hope it's Donnie and everybody. He had no plan,
no strategy, He had no interest or desire to engage you, me,
all of us in understanding the why why now? What's
the imminent threat? What are they intended and unintended consequences?
The prospect of this becoming a regional war was that
thought through who was going to take over for the
(21:20):
supreme leader, particularly after you went through forty nine others,
And now today Trump says, well, maybe it doesn't work out,
Maybe we get someone who's worse, you know. But nothing
was more damning. I think of the moment and this
administration and who Donald Trump is. It goes to the
(21:40):
heart of who he is than his press conference yesterday
where his remarks where he was lamenting the live now
at six but four Americans that died and you mentioned
them in passing and then went on to mention in
great detail the drapes and the imperial palace on the
(22:03):
east wing that he's building in, you know, and went
on to talk about the pile drive with real passion
and conviction. It says everything about Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
No, it says everything about Gavin Newsom. He actually made
the case and was Joe Biden's special pleader, Joe Biden
and Obama giving the Iranians billions of dollars in cash
and other currency. Oh, that was a brilliant strategy. This
guy is obsessed with Donald Trump, just obsessed with him,
(22:35):
and a guy that does nothing to help his own state.
You can't even get a building permit in the Pacific Palisades.
It's pathetic. Let's get to our busy telephones eight hundred
ninety four one, Sean. If you want to be a
part of the program, let's say hi to Troy in
North Carolina. Hey, Troy, how are you glad you called?
Speaker 4 (22:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (22:54):
Good to talk to you.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
Man.
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I was just I wanted to talk about like a
keen Jefferies and listening to what you're saying about news
and stuff. What they don't and I believe they do
realize it. But the sad part is if you know,
like affordability and young young families wanting to start, uh,
you know, start a family, And just like in California,
(23:17):
how many young families are excited to start a family
in California? I bet a whole lot less than it
used to be, you know what I mean. So then
then you look at Iran. I've got five kids myself
and thinking, how are they ever going to be excited
about starting their lives affordability and having children, buying homes
(23:37):
any of that. If you're if Iran has a nuclear weapon,
that not that they're they may use it, but they're
definitely going.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
To use it.
Speaker 5 (23:46):
Where is the peace of mind? Where is the excitement?
When that is what you have? There is no excitement,
There is no peace of mind, There is no starting
of the family, There is no worrying about affordability or gas.
What what is more important worrying about gas or one
about a nuclear weapon being shot? You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (24:03):
It is I mean, I'm looking at this party and
I'm looking at the Democrats and they're cheering for American
failure here when the world we already know is now
a safer place as a result of Midnight Hammer in
this operation epic fury. It just is. And where's the
Democratic Party? There's still you know, they defund the Department
(24:27):
of Homeland Security when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris let in,
you know, fourteen million and twelve million, fourteen we don't
know how many millions of people unvetted from over two
hundred countries, including known terrorists, and now we have to
clean up that mess with knowing that may be Iranian
sleeper cells in the country. A party that's in favor
(24:47):
of amnesty for people that did not respect our laws, borders, sovereignty,
a party for open borders, sanctuary cities and states, defund
dismantle the police, and and you know, and no bail laws.
I mean, I just what does this party stand for?
What's happened to these people? All common senses missing from
(25:10):
all of them. I have no patience for any of
them anymore. I don't have patients for dumb people. I've
had it. I've had it with all of them.
Speaker 5 (25:18):
Yeah. Well, luckily, there's enough conservative Christian people in our
government and our cities and our states that that's the
only reason why it hadn't completely fallen apart, is there's
enough conservative Christian people that is involved in this country
that keeps it from fault. Because if you left it
all to them, if you gave them all control, all
(25:39):
decisions that are being made by them, do what you
will with it, it would all crumble, you know what
I mean, It would all fall just we wouldn't even
have a country. But luckily we have enough conservative Christian
people that keeps it moving. And we just got to
keep raising our children to be conservative, well Christian conservative,
let me say it that way, because that's the most
(25:59):
point way to say it. But if we can keep
more of that and I'll get more of that in
our country will get back. That's called That's what make
America great again? Is about that exact statement. Christian conservative people.
That's what makes and it doesn't matter what color you are,
but Christian conservative people is what makes America great period.
Speaker 1 (26:21):
People with wisdom learn the lessons of history. And I
went over this with O'Reilly and I don't. If we
don't stop emerging threats as as they pop their head
up and take them out early, then we are then
risking the future of our children and grandchildren in the
world that they will inherit. That is the wisdom behind
(26:44):
this very difficult but very important mission that President Trump
has partnered with Israel.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Lade.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
It's in our best national and natural national interests, it's
in our best national security interests, and it's in our
kids and grandkids' best interests. And the world is a
safer place. And I think on the other side of this,
my hope is that we're going to see a piece
that hopefully is lasting in the Middle East, one that
has not been achievable up to this point. Anyway, I
(27:15):
appreciate you, Thank you, Troy. All Right, quick break right
