About this episode
Bill O’Reilly joins Sean from Dallas with a message he believes voters need to understand before November: this election is bigger than any individual candidate. O’Reilly argues that voters are choosing between competing political movements and warns that the country’s institutions, economy, borders, courts, and traditional understanding of government could all be reshaped depending on who controls Washington. Sean and O’Reilly also discuss James Talarico, Iran, affordability, California, and why independent voters may ultimately decide whether Republicans can hold the line.

This is an I Heart Podcast. Guaranteed Human. I believe that whoever was in that room and did that was a murderer. A new podcast series, Fault Line Haditha, tells the story of a shocking crime and a cover-up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. If you've got five players and you offer immunity to four, you better be right about the fifth because if you're not, then you've just given immunity to your color. Listen to Fault Line Haditha on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Alright, let us get a simple man that can only mean one thing on this radio program and that is all things self-described, simple man. That means all things, Bill O'Reilly, all things, Bill O'Reilly at pillowrily.com as we report today, Mr. O'Reilly, from the Republican midterm convention. We are in the great city of Dallas in the great state of Texas. God bless Texas. They have a Senate candidate that believes that there are six genders, not two, and thinks
that God is non-binary, is running a vegan campaign in a cattle state, does not want drilling in the country in an oil state, and absolutely supports the right of biological men to play women's sports and wants access for all trans people, including biological men that have access to abortion. I have to go back to biology school and take biology classes in school because I only thought there were two genders. Do you know what the other four are? Do I know? Yeah, do you know? Yeah. Telleriko says there are six genders. I want to know if you know what the other four are. What's so hard about that question? Listen, I got two genders. You know what I mean? You got to, so you don't know the answer to the question. Do you? I don't know much about history now. Did we get it wrong? Do I need to go back and take more theology classes, Latin classes, go to mass more often.
What do I need to do? Because Telleriko thinks that God is non-binary. You know, I don't think anybody follows what Telleriko thinks. The people who are going to vote against Paxton don't like him. It's a personality vote. But I'm glad you brought it up because I made a point yesterday and I expanded upon it today as you know. I have a book coming out next week called Confronting America, What has to change. And I'm trying to explain to voters who would show up in November. You're not voting for a guy. You're not voting for Paxton or Telleriko. And they look at me like, what? I said, you're voting for a movement. You're voting for a radical left movement, Telleriko and his cohorts, or a more traditional movement.
Paxton. That's what you're voting for. And this election in particular, it doesn't really matter about the people involved. It matters what their vision is and what they will support. So if you want open borders, then you'll vote Democrat, right? If you want 15 genders, then you'll vote Democrat, right? And so that the independent Democrats, the people in the middle who don't like Trump or don't like this or don't like that, trying to get through to them. It's not about that. President Trump will be at an office in two and a half years. It's about the future of our country, whether you destroy what we have and build it up in Telleriko's vision, because he'll go right down the list with every progressive insanity there is.
Or you hold the line as Toto once sang. You hold the line and say, not a perfect country. It's a tough, subtle, and I book what has to change. However, we don't want to destroy it. Telleriko wants to destroy it. And if the Republicans can get that message across, they'll pick up a lot of independent voters. I think that is a spot on dead, accurate, top dead center analysis by Mr. O'Reilly. I think you're 100% right. That's what it's going to come down to. A part of the process. Now you took a nice vacation, rightly so, because it gets very quiet in the month of August. Let's be blunt. And so you took a couple of weeks off and you recharge your battery and you do have your book tour coming up. By the way, I'm halfway through your book. I got an early copy. Thank you. I will not disclose the contents that I now know that are in that book.
I've perused the entire book, but I've actually read half of it. And I will finish it by the time you're on the air for release. And I think that if people hear what you're saying and understand it, I think this is a very winnable election for the Republicans. It runs deeper than that. I think the most profound thing that you said is they want to fundamentally alter the America that has existed for 250 years. They want to take the Constitution and shred it. If you want to eliminate the US Senate, prevent the American people for voting directly for president. If you want to upend our court system and pack the judiciary with activist liberal justice, abolish borders, amnesty for illegals, abolish ICE and all deportation, defund the Department of War. If you want to abolish prisons and defund dismantle, no bail laws with the police, public ownership
of corporations, a wealth confiscation scheme and a cradle to grave socialist Marxist utopia, and that is going to be any Democrat you vote for, that's what they're going to end up supporting. Because that is the power structure now of a formally normal party. I mean, you and I got along with plenty of Democrats over the years. Well, Joe, in columns, I mean, great show. That's your best historical yardstick. So you can you went on, you had civil debate every night, you had some laughs. And now if you disagree with people on both sides, I have to say, they hate you a lot of them. They hate your guts. And there's a Trump quotient in that, but it's a personal failing on a lot of a part of Americans. But you're absolutely right when you say there's only one Democrat that I know of that will
defy the leadership and that's fitterment of Pennsylvania. And he's going to have to become a Republican. There's no doubt. He can't stay in his party. They're going to draw them out. And so that no matter who it is in Maine or in Michigan or in Montana, no matter who it is, you cast that vote for a Democrat, even though you may like that person better than the Republican running. You are voting for Armageddon, the way the country has been run since the turn of the 20th century, which is when we assembled our economic power. We started assembling that and it become the most powerful nation on earth, providing the most opportunity for the most people. You want to vote against that? You don't want that? You believe Calorico when he says, I'm going to give everybody free health care.
You think you're not going to wait six months for a doctor's appointment? You think you're not going to have more affordability? Affordability? Go to California and look at the gas prices. Look at the tax structure. This is run by Democrats and they're screaming affordability. There's going to be more money coming out of your house if the Democrats win than you will believe. You won't believe how much more tax you're going to have to pay. That's everybody except for the dire poor. People don't think this deeply. Think about a gallon of gas costs in this much. I'm going to vote against Trump. Is that a foolish vote when we're looking at a possible destruction of traditional America? Yes, it is a foolish vote. You've got to get the bigger picture. It's the campaign I'm on with the book and with the midterms.
Again, I don't think I can define what's at stake any better. To be honest, the reason that gas prices have spiked, but they've come back down many, many times every time they spike, they come right down. The main reason is this president had to make a call, a decision. It's never easy to make a decision to use military force. Every single person that I know and you know I have a lot of connections in the administration, the people that know, the people that read the presidential daily briefings bill, they all in one shape manner of form gave me the same description of why the president needed to do what he's doing in Iran. And their description is simple. The president had no choice. They were that close to becoming a nuclear power, a nuclear armed Iran that also, and we
discovered this during epic fury, has ballistic missile range that nobody, nobody knew or anticipated. They have range that they can actually put a nuclear warhead and hit Paris or London and probably not long after that, the continental United States. That is a clear and present danger to the world. I don't think the president has gotten enough credit for that or controlling the borders or the largest tax cut in American history or deregulation or energy independence. I don't think the Democrats have gotten enough blame for leaving wide open borders and lying to us for four years, lying about a cognitively impaired president, voting for the largest tax increase in history. Instead of the largest tax cut, there's a lot of stake here. And there are two competing visions for the country, cradle to grave, womb to the tomb. Look at what this green new deal offers you, Bill. You know, they want to offer you guaranteed daycare, guaranteed government jobs, guaranteed
government salaries, guaranteed government schools for your kids. We pay the most per capita in education than any other country in the industrialized world with the worst results, Bill. And now we're going to give these kids over to the government. What, when they're, when they're a children, you heard El Sayed's comments yesterday. And then I guess, you know, then you get a government guaranteed retirement, government guaranteed health care. I guess the government guaranteed pine box, you know, to put you in a government field when you croak because that's where that's where they're headed. It's been tried before many names, forms, manifestations of fails every time, Mr. O'Reilly. But most Americans are not smart enough to understand it because the public school system has collapsed. It's collapsed. You're targeting the Democratic Party is targeting people that Rush Limbaugh used to
call low informed voters. And those groups are mounting more and more and more, particularly when you have all of this money from the real progressive left, like Pritzker 200 million, sorrows, unbelievable amounts of money. And these people are, don't know a how the country was founded and be what the danger that lies ahead will be. They're susceptible to propaganda. They hear it from their friends, their friends are dumber than they are. I see it all the time. I see it wherever I go. I ask one question to these people. They go affordability. As soon as I hear that word, I go, is in California a Democratic state? Top to bottom? Okay. You think California is affordable? In what area is it affordable? Camp by a house?
Okay? What do they have? A hundred billion dollar debt? Can't see a doctor. All right. If you're on the dole, try to get a doctor's appointment in LA if you're doing Medicaid. Try. See how long it takes you. It's medical and it's given to free-to-e legal immigrants. Your state of New York is not much better, Bill. Not. And but, but, Holkl could lose here. Right now, it's a four point race. And I hope and pray for all of my friends in New York. I think this might be the last shot you have to save your state with Bruce Blakeman. Well, if Mandami keeps yapping, Blakeman is going to win because they've successfully the party here in New York, Republican Party has tied Mandami around Holkl's neck. I'm Mr. O'Reilly. I'm going to run, man. Looking forward to the new book.
Let's put it this way. I read half of it in one sitting. I didn't put it down. I stayed up much later than I should have. Anyway, we'll talk to you next week, Mr. O'Reilly. Appreciate you. A shocking crime and a cover-up at the highest levels of the United States Marine Corps. Someone opened the door and was the primary sugar. Is it possible you could do that and then suppress the memory? A new podcast series, fault-line Haditha, tells the story the United States government wants to keep buried. How can you not know? There were women and children there. Can you tell us here that you don't know what happened that day? Based on thousands of pages of previously classified documents and over a hundred hours of secretly filmed video, the truth about one of the most infamous crimes in Marine Corps history can finally be told. If you've got five players and one of them is guilty of murder at least and you offer immunity to the other four, you better be right about the fifth because if you're not, then you've just given immunity to your color.
Listen to fault-line Haditha on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I just because of Linda's visceral reaction, boss, boss, boss, about Abdul El-Sayed, the idea that the left, I mean, it was a big controversy when Hillary Clinton said it takes a village as I discussed earlier. For this guy to say that he wants communal responsibility over our children, with all due respect, parents are not potted plants. And bring children into the world. They're your responsibility. And Abdul El-Sayed, he can have all the kids he wants, he can instill whatever nutty values that he wants in his own children. He can bring Uncle Hassan, Hassan Piker, the claim the American deserved 9-11 over as often as he wants and indoctrinate them into this radicalized thinking of theirs.
The last person I want raising my kids, or people like El-Sayed, or Pocahontas, or Bernie Sanders, Grandpa Bernie, or AOC in the squad, or Sixth-Gender Tallerico here, Texas. No thank you. I think I could do fine without them, but this is what El-Sayed said. I'm not a socialist. I'm a scientist. I'm a doctor. But if I have one political philosophy, it's that I want us to build what we would build if we took seriously the idea that all of our kids were all of our kids. All of our kids are all of our kids. Linda, your kids are not your kids. You have Uncle Abdul El-Sayed ready to help you with your children. Over my dead body I do. Forget about it. Be it the cold day in hell. Cold day in hell for Linda. And this is by the way, what he said, claiming that what America did after 9-11 scarred millions of other people. What is it? There was a before 9-11 and an after 9-11 for all of us, but especially for people like me. Be it the choice about where we go from here?
Thousands of refugees from our war in Avradistan are awaiting resettlement. Already, the same voices who pounded the drums for war are fear mongering the lives they displaced. But we owe them so much more. Our war destroyed their lives and livelihoods. Perhaps this is the opportunity to, in some small way, turn the page on an era of death, destruction, in destitution. Because even if the war is over, a stain of the war lives on. And then we lost the war, perhaps we can yet win a peace. 9-11 scarred our country in profound ways. But what we did after 9-11 scarred millions of other people. When we talk about 9-11, we often fail to send them. Unbelievable mentality. No wonder his best friend in the world is Hassan Piker. I chad in Texas where we are today, Chad, how are you? Glad you called, sir. God bless Texas and thanks for checking in. Love to hear that, Sean. Welcome to Dallas. I'm bringing up something that your humbleness in you, that you don't talk about on September 10th, because of what happened next day. 20, I'm doing it today because you're not
going to want to hear it tomorrow. 25 years nationally syndicated. You got to paint yourself. It's like, this is real. I mean, 25 years ago, did you see yourself, man? I don't know how long just this is going to be. Do you still wake up every day? This is actually real. So this is just a, I haven't called in in a long time. I still listen to you, but I haven't called in. I did today. So just want to thank you for everything that you do, Sean, whether it's election year or not, breaking news, the guests that you have on. I tune into your podcast as well. But this is really just a big thank you to you. All of your listeners, we love you, Sean. I mean, 25 years down, hopefully 25 more to go. And just a big thank you, Sean. I know you don't like to talk about September 10th, 2001. Because what happened next day? So this is just a big, you know, congratulations. And thank you for everything that you've done.
Do and we'll still do. I get very uncomfortable. I'm not very good at taking a compliment. I'm just not, but I'm very grateful. Yeah. The thankfulness really is on my part. And you are right. We never mention on September 10th, the anniversary of this program going into syndication. And there's a reason because I know what happened the next day. It just doesn't seem appropriate to me. It seems self centered and narcissistic to me. It seems like it just, I can't, I can't bifurcate one day from the other if that makes sense. But do I have a deep sense of gratitude? And thanks beyond which I could probably even express to all of you in this audience. And you've been with me all these years. And you stick by me. I mean, I can't do this job without all of you in your support.
I can't be on TV without all of you in your support. The podcast, you know, I'm trying to do that differently than the way other people do it. And so far, it's been out of the box. A much bigger success than anybody ever thought. And I'm so grateful to everybody for it. I really, I kind of, how do I say this? I just, the answer to your question is, I never thought I would survive in radio. I never saw a TV on the horizon. And always believed I was doing my last show. And there's a part of me in the back of my head that actually still thinks that way. And I can't explain why maybe it's just, I don't know, talent and security. I don't know, but it drives me to try to be better and better and better and better. And I read comments about me in the last week that were critical of me. And I took it to heart, some of it.
And I said, okay, I think maybe I can improve in that area. I won't go into the details of what it was, but I'm, you know, I always want to be the best I can be. But really the gratitude is on my part because when I started in 1987 and first got behind a microphone, trust me, if you think I thought I'd ever be successful, you don't know what was going through my head. I was scared to death on that first show, but I knew I just wanted it. That's all I wanted to do. And so when you, behind something that you'll, I never thought I'd get paid doing it. Did it for free in the beginning? I paid 19 grand a year in my first paid gig. And I was so happy just to be able to do it. And I'm happy to be able to do it today. And you make that happen. So really the gratitude comes from me. You're right. I don't want to, it's just not right to celebrate that anniversary. Just not. And, but I be negligent if I didn't say, express my appreciation to each and every one of you.
I think I have been living an undeserved life. And for those that hate me, they would agree. It's an undeserved life. You don't deserve to be on the air. And people have tried a lot over the course of my career to get me off the air. But I'm grateful to all of you that have shown me that kind of support. It is more meaningful than I can express. Thank you. All right, quick break right back to our busy phones. It's told free. It's eight hundred nine four one Sean. As we continue, we are in beautiful Dallas, Texas for the Republican midterm convention. Two hours of coverage tonight on Hannity, say your DVR nine to 11 Eastern eight to 10 local. But more your call straight ahead. Final hour round up is next. You do not want to miss it. And stay tuned for the final hour free for all on the Sean Hannity show.
All right, from Dallas for the Republican National Midterm Convention. It's the Sean Hannity show back to our busy phones. Dennis Long Island, New York. What's up, Dennis? Where in Long Island? Are you served? Please New Yorkers Bruce Blakeman has a shot. He's within four. He's within striking distance. Please help Bruce Blakeman. Oh, absolutely no doubt. No doubt, no doubt. Join I've been listening to her. It feels like decades to infecting when I shared a coffee and conversation at the ice drink or kids played ice hockey in a long, long time ago. No, probably ice works in Cios.
That one, but you did superior too. Yes, I did. I'm in the beginning. My son was a hockey player. He let it change sports, but he broke his leg scheme with me one time one year. You had black hair then I had blonde, but those days are broke. I still got some black laugh. It's not all black. I don't think I know. And I got none. It's all white. All right. Anyway, Sean, I like the idea of you reminding everybody what to take for the midterms. And I think you need to be hammered home all the time. And the RNC isn't doing such a great job of it. But what I'm really concerned about is the amount of vote. They have to, too big to rig. It's got to come out of their mouths every day. More, you know, this whole three days, it's got to come out. We got to get the amount of people that came out for the present that come out in the midterm. And I think they're missing that. And it should be a big priority at what's going on, especially the next three days. And from right from now until it's time to vote,
people got to get out to vote. That's the one thing that will be the most if they don't. It's simple as that. I think we're hearing enough of it from the president, or as administration, or the RNC. And I think- Well, the kickoff to the campaign starts this week. So that's why we're in Dallas. And people tend to get back to the normal schedules. Kids get back to school. I know some people in other parts of the country, their kids are already started in school in August. But, you know, for the rest of the country, they're going back to school this week or next. And with that comes a- The regular routine comes back. People get back to their normal lives. People will dial into the news a little bit more. It's normal to have slow summer news periods. People need a break. They're on vacation. They're traveling, so on and so forth. But I will say this. And it's a combination of the discussion I had with O'Reilly earlier, and a conversation I had last week with our own Linda, you know, and that is if what O'Reilly is saying I agree with,
if you vote for any Democrat, you are voting for an ideology, and you're voting for somebody that will go along with the radicalized crowd. There's not going to be many elected Democrats that will join John Fetterman. It won't happen. We have 250 elected DSA members since 2019, 40 plus more on the ballot this year. So you are voting for that philosophy. Whatever way they're told and pressured, they're going to vote. So it's like you're voting for Abdul El-Sayed if you vote for any Democratic Senator. Let me make it that plane or Talleriko or Troy Jackson in Maine. It's like you're voting for any Democrat. And the Linda part of it is, you know, she thinks we have a uniparty. And I'm like, no, because there's not one Republican that's supporting any DSA policies.
And there's a lot of Republicans that I wish for stronger. I really do. I'll give you the last word. I still think that it needs to be a priority to get the vote out. We have to make it a priority. And I do have, so you know, with Linda's here, I have a trick for the swear words. I know, yeah, what is your trick? So Linda, back in the day, I was a local elected official. So you'd have to give policy speeches or do events, shake hands, get paid, just that type of thing. There was a person in my community who came to me, always wanted me to run for stuff. And she said to me, listen, to me a favor, when you are about to drop the F bomb, I want you to change it to slip it. And I left, she left, but I did it. And I'm telling you, Linda, after a while of just saying slip in every time I wanted to drop an F bomb, it worked. And today, decades later, I still say slip in and not drop the F bomb. Hey, Dennis, she is backsliding and incorrigible.
No way. She's the reason why. And the worst part of the whole story is she gave up. And instead of even trying to conquer this and give it up for the Jesus. Oh my God, would you look at that? We're at a time, time for commercial. All right, Dennis, we appreciate you, man. Thank you. Yeah, bye. Have a great day. 800, 941 Sean, as we continue from Dallas tonight, 9211, Hannity, two hours on this special Republican midterm convention. I believe that whoever was in that room and did that was a murderer.
