You know, I'm guessing, mister O'Reilly, and I'm wondering if you have the courage to admit this is your favorite time of the week doing the show. Of all the things you do all week long, this is what you look forward to the most, isn't it?

Smith, Oh, he's not overexposed. I love Steve and I he's my man.

Smith, Oh, he's not overexposed. I love Steve and I he's my man.

But in the conversation he actually said, unprompted, so we're talking about the media, and I hope we can talk about CNN, by the way, with you, because I have some very interesting information to give Hannity radio listeners. Anyway, Steven A. Smith goes, hey, you know what I really like. I like you and Hannity on the radio. So I don't think you said anything to him. I certainly didn't sing.

I didn't talk about No. He listens to the radio show and every once in a while, you know, he'll write me what he likes and what he doesn't like. And you know, he doesn't want Biden to be president. He does not a fan of Donald Trump. So okay, that's his political point of view.

Uh no, no, no, he has a really good book. You gotta it is a good book.

Stop you know, Hannity, Come.

You know did your name is Legacy. I can't wait till tomorrow because I get better looking every day.

Oh boy, here we go. All right, let's I was going to talk to you about something else, but I am interested. Chris Lick, who was running CNN post Jeff Zucker was fired. I mean, why this man ever let some Atlanta writer follow him for months on end in his first year. Uh, taken over for Jeff Zucker who was replaced is beyond any imagination I have. They looked at the Trump town hall now. I think it was moderated in a horrible way. I don't think it's the host job to sit there and interrupt every five seconds. You know, she's not the candidate. She's not there to debate the candidate. Let the people hear, you know, uninterrupted thoughts. If you have a disagreement, wait till they're done, and then then then step in as long as they're not filibustering. And but it ended up being their highest rated show ever, and then apparently all the on air people protested even given Donald Trump their time.

And but it ended up being their highest rated show ever, and then apparently all the on air people protested even given Donald Trump their time.

This is a huge story that very few people understand, and that's what I'm going to walk through with you now. So on May tenth, Trump goes on CNN to the town hall, and as you accurately report, it got the biggest number they've had in years. And it was an attempt by CNN to move to the center. That's what lys Mandate was. By Warner Brothers Discovery, that's the parent company. They said, look, we're getting our butts kicked being left wingers. Let's try to go to the center. And that's LyX Mandate. Okay. The far left media cabal did not like that at all. But even worse was giving Trump this CNN forum because the cabal wants Trump shunned, okay, isolated. It's the same thing they did to me when I left Fox News. All right, won't you do anything with O'Reilly? Don't you dare? Okay?

So the cabal I had, By the way, there were people when I put you on that were complaining bitterly that I even dared to put your voice on the air, as if you know, I should be shunned for doing so.

So the cabal I had, By the way, there were people when I put you on that were complaining bitterly that I even dared to put your voice on the air, as if you know, I should be shunned for doing so.

Absolutely, And this is how powerful these people are.

Absolutely, And this is how powerful these people are.

They weren't that powerful. Bill, you're on the air, No.

They weren't that powerful. Bill, you're on the air, No.

But you are more powerful than they are. I mean, you were more courageous than they are. They couldn't intimidate you, but nine out of ten media people they do intimidate, and that's the key to understanding what happened. So after Trump got the forum on CNN, the cabals swung into action. Who are they? The Atlantic Magazine, New York Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, Axios, Vanity Fair, Huffington Post, New York Times, Washington Post, Slate, Politico, Rolling Stone Magazine, Hollywood Reporter, NPR, The Guardian, The Daily bast Salon, The Nation, New Republic, Boston Globe, Seattle Times. They all did individual hit pieces on Chris licked, all of them. It is now June seventh, Okay, in less than a month, they all mobilized. And why do they do this? Because of Saul Olynsky, You and I have reported over the years. He wrote the book called Rules for Radicals. You want to get rid of somebody, you isolate that.

Person, isolate the target. That's what it says, unrelenting.

Person, isolate the target. That's what it says, unrelenting.

So all of these news outlets attacked, licked after the Trump town hall, all of them. You don't think that was coordinated. It was, and the message is sent to all corporate media. You do anything to help Donald Trump, We're coming after you.

You know it's I think your analysis is dead on. Here's their problem. I mean, look to a certain extent, they were a perennial third in the in the ratings, behind Fox, which had dominated for years. You played a big part in building Fox, and I'd like to say I've played a little part in building Fox, and I've been you know, we were there from the get go. And then you know, MSDNC has a cult audience of a radical leftist and they were able to peel some of those viewers away from them, and at least I mean, I wouldn't say respectable numbers, but more than twice what they have now. I mean, they're barely pulling five hundred thousand total viewers in many primetime hours bill, which is an unmitigated failure in cable TV.

Yes, and Lick could have been fired based on that, but he was not there long enough. If you're given a mandate to turn something around like that, like CNN, you got to have a minimum two years to do it, because it's impossible. But it was a fool's errand to quote Shakespeare, because you can't change the culture. Even though Lick fired, Lemon and Humpty dumpty, as you put it, what's his name, by.

The way, you love that love that name. Well, well, think about this. Think of the insubordination of Christian I'm on for and no consequences. Think of the insubordination of this the humpty dumpty wannabe replacement guy with some guy named Olivar, you know, And and he's speaking out publicly against lickt. It's like the whole every on air person is just clinging to their anti Trump, pro left wing, radical left agenda and they won out. Now the problem is Chris Licked was a placeholder for David Zaslov, who then not going to fire who is the CEO of the parent company, And Zaslov is just going to put in a different replacement. I would assume his mandate is not going to change, which he he wants that network to move away from being hardcore left and be down the middle. Now do I think that's gonna work? I don't. That's my opinion. You might have a different one, but I don't think his his vision for CNN has changed you.

Yes, they're not going to bother going into the moderate precincts anymore. That's over. The woman taking over is named amy An Tullis, and I worked with her at ABC for two years. I know it pretty well. Vassergrad Columbia Grad School. I mean, a very committed liberal woman. She is now going to let the culture do what the culture wants. At CNN, if you go down the list of talent, and talent is always with Drives ratings always. If you go down sea AND's list of talent, every single one of them is liberal. There isn't one that's even moderate. Now.

They used to try under Zucker they'd have these panels of eight, nine, ten people and then you'd see put my friend Jeff Lord or at the time Kaylee mcinaaney going up against you know, David Axelro and Van Jones and Anderson Cooper, I mean the whole other lineup, which is hardcore left wing. And it was an impossible situation for all of them as ten on one or ten on two, and but but that is their programming now. They did do better when when they held to that ideology. What can they get that audience back or no, yeah, they.

The left wing in this country? I mean, we have a radical president that as the most a Democratic party. Look, I was friends with Joe Lieberman. I think you were probably friends with Joe Lieberman. I love Joe Lieberman. Joe Lieberman and I agreed on foreign policy. We agreed on Israel, we agreed on you know, issues of foreign policy all across the board. We disagreed on social issues, many of them. But we had a friendship. It was a real friendship. It wasn't a phony friendship. And I loved him and his wife and very very fond of him. He was the Canarian the coal mine because when the Democratic Party took their two thousand vice presidential nominee and threw them overboard in a primary for the Senate a couple of years later in Connecticut, that was the first indication of how radical left this party was headed.

And you know, it only works if you have the media behind it, which brings us back to the original premise of nobody cares about Chris Lick and CNN. Your view listeners don't care about it, but what they should care about is media control and fear of the media. There is no corresponding right wing media. There's conservative radio, but you guys don't coordinate attacks on individuals. I've never seen that.

Yeah, Levin's an interesting guy because he's so smart about the fundamental underpinnings of the country that he goes back and explains to the radio and television audience. Look, this was the original intension of America. Whereas the far left wants to obliterate that and say no, no, America's corrupt sixteen to nineteen project. We've always been evil. Now we have to just disassemble a whole thing and you know what's really interesting, And I know we don't have enough time to get into it, but maybe in two weeks because.

He's working his butt off now and restaurants out on the East Ends and make money for the Oxford experience that he's going into in the fall. But anyway I'm taking. There are six fathers with their sons. We're all going over for father's eight week. I'm taking to the Belfast where I reported on the troubles, and I'm going to take them right to the combat that I witnessed in the place called Devis Flats and Belfast, which is horrendous. So it's gonna be a nice ship. But you know, if you want to talk to me from Ireland, I will certainly try to set that up.

Well, there's nine thousand permits out there that you that are already available for use by any of these companies. Now that's always been deceiving. We pointed that out many many times.

All right, listen, Well, we're at commodity business. Commodity market set prices. During COVID, the industry lost a lot of money. As we've come out of COVID, we've been on the other side of that. So it's a big industry. The numbers can be large, but they can go in both directions and they can go there quickly. The nine thousand permit point, we really haven't heard that much lately. We don't have any understanding where that comes from. We're not sitting on we're not sitting on permits that we're not using. We've got permanent applications in that we'd like to see acted on, but I don't.

So when you hear that, you think, what, I don't know where it's coming from. The world will be using oil and gas for much more than the next ten years, and we certainly invest accordingly. But look, the policy environment that discourages investment is one that has an effect, and we certainly have seen some signals that have discouraged investment in this country. We'd like to see more collaborative and open dialogue with the administration. We can work together to protect the environments, to address climate change, and to create energy security.

I mean, they just outright lie to us. Here's Jensaki talking about those nine thousand permits. As President Biden think.

I mean, they just outright lie to us. Here's Jensaki talking about those nine thousand permits. As President Biden think.

That each of these nine thousand leases that are available have oil or gas in that because industry experts are saying that that accusation is a complete red airing some permits or viable and some or not, and that when you say that this represents a fundamental misunderstanding as to how this process works.

Well, first of all, the nearly sixty percent of least acres remain non producing. That's a lot in the range of twenty mils acres. So there are nine thousand unused approved permits to drill, and they should not require that should not require us inviting them to do that. They should do that themselves.

The additional permits.

The additional permits.

What additional permits do they need? They have, the leases are there, the permits are there. I don't think they need an embroidered invitation to drill. That is, they are oil companies.

Okay, So she's just outright lying and misrepresenting, and it's all done on purpose, and what is the net result? Okay, So we had Opek as soon as China decided that they were going to engage in a cold war with the US. And if anyone tells you it's not a cold war, they're not facing reality. China has declared a cold war against the US their alliance with China, and I'm sorry, with a Russia and Iran. They're brokering deals with the Saudis and the Iranians. Immediately thereafter, what a shock, Saudi Arabia led Opek and cutting back production of oil by one point three million barrels a day. Now, why are they doing that? Because they want to get the price of a barrel of oil as high as they can, because that makes them even richer and makes us even dumber as a country. Because we have more natural resources, energy resources then all of these Middle Eastern countries combined and Russia combined. We have hundreds and hundreds of years worth of energy that would fulfill our needs. We can become an energy dominant country. We could be providing Western Europe with all of their energy needs. You know, and in the meantime, you know, they're controlling the marketplace. Now, Saudi Arabia independently this week said that they're going to cut back production even further. What because they want a barrel of oil to be one hundred bucks of barrel. That means they make a ton more money. And what do you think is funding Vladimir Putin's war against you? Well, the high cost of energy. How did this all begin to happen. How did we go through four years of Donald Trump and not pay over not paid three dollars a gallon for gasoline, not a single day on average in this country, not one and even going as low as a dollar like sixty nine or eighty nine cents at the low point, you know, within his presidency. Because he adopted energy independence and it worked. And guess what, it's good for national security. It's good for job creation, high paying career jobs in the energy sector. I say it all the time. You know, how many go back a number of years on this program and we partnered energy companies with people in this country that maybe didn't have jobs they were happy with, and they'd moved to places like North Dakota or Oklahoma or Texas and they'd start making you know, one hundred and fifty two hundred thousand dollars a year. Many they teach you how to be a driver, they put you up in a place to stay, and you know, you'd start out at like one hundred grand a year and all the overtime you can handle. And those jobs were plentiful. And if we ever became energy independent again and then took the next step to energy dominance, I mean, we would be the richest country by far on Earth. You could pay down and pay off the thirty one trillion dollars in debt, You get lower taxes on every American, and we could all live an oil rich life. I mean, think of all the years that Texas. I'm sorry that Alaska because of their policies that they share their natural resource wealth with the people of Alaska. Now, the thing about that they don't know. Not only do they not have a state income tax. If you're an Alaskan citizen, you know, when they allowed drilling and energy production at a much higher level, they were getting a nice healthy check every year from from the state government for living in their state. Now is it worth putting up with the cold? No offense to my friends in Alaska. You're tougher than I am. I don't know those of you living off the grid. I just sit and I watch in utter amazement at how rugged and independent you are. I wish I had that rugged individualism in me. The thought of my generator breaking, you know, at thirty or forty below zero in the middle of winter, and me having to go out there in some type of spacesuit and trying to fix that generator is not exactly appealing to me or freezing.
