WEBVTT - Trump, the Pope, and Tehran 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.360 All right, hindered simple man that can only mean one 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:16.280 thing on this radio program. That is all things self 0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:19.400 proclaimed simple man, that means all things Bill O'Reilly, all 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:24.720 things Bill O'Reilly, Billoreilly dot com. Mister O'Reilly, sir, will 0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:25.360 do it live. 0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:25.960 How are you? 0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.600 I'm okay, trying not to get excommunicated, Hennery. 0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:34.800 You know, here's what frustrates me about the pope. And 0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:39.360 I know you once met a poulp was a John Paul. 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.159 The second I know you met somebody I don't remember 0:00:42.200 --> 0:00:44.040 who we. 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:48.160 Met Pope Francis. He was a very kind coman. 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.640 And a very bright person, and very kind person, but 0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:55.320 also a very liberal person. And this is a problem 0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:58.960 I have with the Catholic Church in general. And like you, 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.680 I went to Catholic schools for twelve years. I think 0:01:01.720 --> 0:01:04.280 the Mass is beautiful. I've gotten a lot out of 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:08.559 studying Latin theology, going to Mass in high school every 0:01:08.600 --> 0:01:13.000 single day, and it's been a good force in my life. 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:17.000 But I really have a tough time with the institutionalized corruption. 0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:20.720 Eleven of the twelve apostles were married. For the first 0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.960 twelve hundred years of the church, priests were allowed to marry. 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:26.880 I think they made a mistake with this church run rule. 0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:31.880 That's my opinion. And what frustrates me about Pope Leo's 0:01:31.920 --> 0:01:35.199 little battle lecturing Donald Trump on the issue of war 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:37.920 is it's the number one state sponsor of terror. They 0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:42.399 have slaughtered over forty thousand of their own people. They 0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:46.800 have slaughtered tens and tens of thousands of others. It 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:50.440 is a society based on death and destruction. They have 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.440 no problem promising young people if they strap bombs on 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.440 themselves and kill linnis and men, women and children, that 0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.560 they will be rewarded by Allah in heaven with seventy 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:02.240 two verse Rojens and not a peep out of the 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:07.760 Pope about any of those immoral atrocities. So I find 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.560 his moral clarity, his compass to be way off. 0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.640 It's a complicated situation. 0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:18.960 Is there anything I said that's wrong? No, I know 0:02:19.080 --> 0:02:19.919 you are less. 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:23.560 You are more hesitant than I am to criticize the Church. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.560 There's a little bit of context. I think it has 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:33.280 to be provided before valid criticisms are made. So John 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:38.600 Paul A second was the only pope in our lifetime 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:43.200 who inserted himself into social justice in a sense that 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:48.280 he as a pole went to poland then demanded that 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:53.720 the Soviet Union provide better working conditions for the Polish people. 0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:55.560 You'll remember that, I think. 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:58.920 Right, of course, the Solidarity movement, it was Reagan, it 0:02:59.000 --> 0:03:02.760 was Thatcher, and it was Pope John Paul. They changed 0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.600 the world to New Ingrids, did a great documentary on it. 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.600 No other pope in our lifetime has done that. And 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:13.800 then in World War Two it's be controversy Pious the 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.959 twelfth and the third Reich. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:20.240 Pope Pious eleventh, the first it was also in the 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:24.240 early stages of the rise of Nazism, and then Pope Pious. 0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.520 You're right, Pope Pious the twelfth was evolved as well, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:29.560 and there was a lot of criticism of the Church. 0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:33.800 They did some things to help innocent people, humanitarian things, 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.040 but they were They even went into an official agreement 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:40.840 with the Nazis that the Nazis didn't keep. And secondarily 0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:48.320 the Nazis, you know, they systemically were also persecuting Catholics 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:48.760 as well. 0:03:49.440 --> 0:03:54.360 Yeah, Doc Cow was full of Catholic priests and the 0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:57.200 Pope knew that if he defied Hitler, Hitler was going 0:03:57.280 --> 0:04:02.880 to take over physically take over the Vaticans. So anyway, 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:09.119 so that is not a lot of political politics on 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:13.000 the Vatican's resume. And remember the Vatican as a country. 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:18.279 So now where Pope Leo, with all due respect, made 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:25.040 his mistake, in my opinion, is that when you get 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:32.960 into these waters, these very controversial things about countries doing 0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.440 terrible things to other countries, human beings doing terrible things 0:04:36.480 --> 0:04:40.119 other human beings, that you have to spell it out. 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.040 You can't just make a general statement. And that's what 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:49.240 Pope Leo did. Pope Leo wants peace through mediation, all right, 0:04:50.000 --> 0:04:53.040 I think everybody in the world of decent people would 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:57.159 love to have peace through mediation. But there comes a 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:04.160 point where the mediation is a fraud because one side, Iran, 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:09.320 is not going to cooperate. So what Pope Leo did 0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:14.200 was he elevated the West let's just call it the 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.359 West of the United States and Israel to the same 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:22.920 status as Iran. Well, they both should be negotiating. Well wait, 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:27.119 wait a minute, we're talking about a country that will 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:33.200 not negotiate on an honest basis and that does maintain 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.800 a level of danger for the world. And you skip 0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:41.520 over that part. Pope skipped over that part. So while 0:05:41.560 --> 0:05:49.120 he was correct in speaking out about peace and justice 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:53.120 and media and mediation, you can't leave all that out. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:59.320 But then President Trump makes a mistake by instead of 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:02.000 trying to mediate this whole thing. And I could do it, 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.000 and if you and I could probably go over to 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.560 Rome and mediate this thing in a. 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.080 Week, I don't think so. 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:15.239 He challenges the Pope politically. Trump does, and and that 0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:22.200 puts the President in a position where he is alienating 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:25.120 a lot of people who don't understand and I mean 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:29.440 that literally, they don't understand what is happening here. 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.560 I think I'm going to be a little more blunt 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.159 than you, and if you think I'm wrong, correct me. 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.280 If you think I'm wrong, dispute it. I think the 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:46.640 Pope in his is missing moral clarity. I think the Pope, 0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:50.920 if he cares about human life, I think the Pope 0:06:50.960 --> 0:06:53.839 should have spoken out when all of these innocent people 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.800 were being slaughtered in Iran. If he's going to speak 0:06:56.800 --> 0:06:59.880 out on these issues, I think the Pope should speak 0:06:59.880 --> 0:07:03.479 out out about radical Islamic terrorism. I think the Pope 0:07:03.520 --> 0:07:06.560 should speak out about how women are treated in the 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.760 lack of rights for women in Iran and they're about 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:13.080 to hang the first woman in a number of years 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:16.360 in Iran, but they've they've hung many others that dared 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.560 to speak out, or the treatment of women if they don't, 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.560 If they don't, if they don't dress a certain way, 0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.080 they can either be beaten or killed depending on what 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.280 they're wearing. In Cays and lesbians are thrown off the 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:30.960 top of roofs. And I don't I'd never heard the 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:34.160 Pope speak out about any of this, or strapping bombs 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.200 on young people, promising them seventy two virgins in heaven. 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.280 And what frustrates me is this was a political statement 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.800 of the Pope that is based on that is missing 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:49.440 the biggest part of the equation, and the biggest part 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.040 of the equation is radical Islamic terrorism and the number 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:55.400 one state sponsor of terror. Now, if he has a 0:07:55.440 --> 0:08:00.840 better idea on how to deal with the radical Islamists 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.840 that have been running a rand that can't death to America, 0:08:04.960 --> 0:08:09.480 death to Israel, that have slaughtered untold numbers of tens 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.160 of thousands of people, then he ought to come forward 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.320 with that rather than lecture of President Trump that's trying 0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:18.720 to end evil in our time, and that frustrates. 0:08:18.120 --> 0:08:20.080 Me, But that's not his job. 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:22.720 He's a passible Then don't speak out and then shut up, 0:08:22.880 --> 0:08:23.720 I mean, be quiet. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.840 Now that's a legitimate point, but it's not his job 0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:34.240 to come out and get involved in these kinds of controversies. 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:39.640 His job is to preach pacifism. He's a pacifist. And 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.640 this is where the too shift. 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.640 Well, that should not be his job. Bill. 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.520 I mean, there is right and there is wrong. And 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:52.480 I'm slaughtering innocent men, women and children and fomenting terror 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:53.959 is evil. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:55.800 That is evil in our time. 0:08:56.640 --> 0:09:01.200 I understand it. But that's not what the Catholic Church does. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.840 If then why is he lecturing Donald Trump for taking 0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:08.800 on the evil that is slaughtering innocent people. 0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.720 I thought the church was pro life. Bill. 0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.560 He isn't taking him on per se. He's trying to 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:18.520 persuade both sides. 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:22.000 No, he went after Trump. He didn't go after he 0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:23.080 didn't go after Iran. 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:27.440 He didn't go after Trump by name either. 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.880 Okay, it was oh, come on, it was It was plain. 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.000 It was painfully obvious who he was referring to. 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:39.200 Look, he made a mistake in the Uh. What he 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:43.240 was trying to do was appealed to all quarters to 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.680 stop the madness, and he made a mistake because he 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:53.760 leaned toward one quarter. And what he doesn't understand or 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:56.720 doesn't accept one of the two, I don't know. The 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.680 man is that Trump's job is com different. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.440 Let me let me ask you quite a serious moral question. 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:11.560 If a church cannot have moral clarity against evil in 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:17.079 our time, then what is the point Now? They can 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:21.760 talk about spirituality all they want, which is very very important. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:23.920 It's important in my life. I know it's important in 0:10:23.960 --> 0:10:29.320 your life. That's very important. However, when innocent people are 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:34.960 being slaughtered, to quote be neutral or to take on 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:39.439 and attack the people that want to stop it seems 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:42.240 to me to be you know, the moral compass is 0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:43.160 way off here. 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.720 I would I think that's too harsh. He doesn't understand. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:50.199 I think I'm being very fair, but go ahead, all right, 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:52.560 But he doesn't. 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:56.040 The Pope does not understand that Trump's job is different. 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:03.920 He is trump job is conferencing to protect people from danger. 0:11:04.640 --> 0:11:10.040 The Pope's job is pacifistic, to stop all When when. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:13.040 Did the pope's job become or when did the job 0:11:13.120 --> 0:11:16.960 description for a pope be to be a pacifist. 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:22.920 Well, that comes directly from the execution of the Nazarene 0:11:23.280 --> 0:11:26.800 that I wrote in Killing Jesus. Okay, so when he 0:11:27.040 --> 0:11:30.920 was being scourged and about to be nailed to the cross, 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.680 Jesus was mocked by the Roman centurion saying, hey, you're 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:37.720 the king of the Jews, bring your army down and 0:11:37.760 --> 0:11:42.080 stop this. And what did Jesus say? Nothing? Nothing, not 0:11:42.160 --> 0:11:46.040 a word, all right, he allowed it to happen. And 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.840 so that is basically what the church's part is. 0:11:50.440 --> 0:11:52.040 Let me let me see if I can turn this 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:56.480 to create an analogy that might be the equivalent. If you, 0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:00.880 in the course of your life see in a woman 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:07.959 or child being attacked by somebody that is clearly committing 0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:11.560 an act of evil in front of your eyes, does 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:17.840 your conscience does your soul compel you to interdict in 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:18.600 some way? 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.600 Is that a are you asking a. 0:12:21.559 --> 0:12:24.760 Personal or a I'm asking in the course of your 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.640 daily life you see innocent women and children being attacked, 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:33.319 because does your conscience compel you to get involved? 0:12:33.880 --> 0:12:36.680 To be to me, I intervene? 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:40.280 Okay, okay, so what so do you have moral clarity 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:44.200 that Bill O'Reilly is going to do everything humanly possible. 0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:46.800 I know you're not that strong like I am, and 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.000 I'm kidding, but but but you're you're going your conscience 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:54.920 would compel you to try to protect the innocent people 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:57.199 against the obvious evil that they're facing. 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.640 Right, absolutely, Okay, So what's the difference here. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:07.600 The difference is that the pope's boundaries are not my boundaries. 0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:08.600 I have much more. 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.439 Let me give you, Ah, you're letting the Pope off 0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:13.480 the hook that the Pope can turn a blind eye 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:15.600 to evil at our time, that's what you're saying to me. 0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:19.280 No, I'm trying to explain his mindset because this could 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.040 be mediated. You could sit these two guys down in 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:26.320 the room and you could get a very positive thing 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:30.840 to come out of it. I believe Joe Biden was 0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:36.000 committing evil in the eyes of the church, and he 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.480 did it in a very public way. Not only did 0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:44.920 he support abortion, he promoted abortion. He didn't want any 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:49.520 restraints on it at all. None. Now, there was a 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:54.120 heavy discussion within the American Catholic Church whether it boosts 0:13:54.160 --> 0:14:00.120 him and deny him communion because of this act, the 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:05.160 motion of abortion that Biden clearly did. Okay, now he's 0:14:05.200 --> 0:14:07.199 got a ant. Biden's gonna have to answer for that. 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:10.880 Pelosi was in the same categy. 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:12.520 All right, do you want to finish your analogy on 0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:15.720 abortion on the other side, because we are just completely 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.400 out of time. I'd be glad to hold you for 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.480 a couple of minutes if you have a few sure, 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.680 all right, Bill O'Reilly all things. O'Reilly at Billoreilly dot 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.240 com eight hundred and ninety four one sewn a number 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:34.960 if you want to be a part of the program. 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:36.480 Elections Paul's campaign. It's the latest news on your candidate. 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:41.240 We've got you covered this election year. Knocking ann right 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:54.200 here on the Sean Hannity Show, you. 0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:30.360 Driving the liberals nuts. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:35.480 Sean Hannity is back on the radio right now. So 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:39.880 we're having a pretty interesting discussion about the Pope and 0:15:39.960 --> 0:15:43.320 the Catholic Church and why isn't Pope Leo spoken out 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:49.320 against the atrocities of radical Islamist flaughtering innocent people, and 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.400 it's become a big problem. I don't recall him ever 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.520 speaking out about October seventh either, another issue, but he's 0:15:55.600 --> 0:16:00.600 very quick to criticize Donald Trump, who is trying to 0:16:00.600 --> 0:16:03.640 to mitigate evil in our time and that would be 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:07.560 the Iranian regime. I think for the better good of humanity, 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:10.480 I think the risk of a nuclear armed Iran is 0:16:10.520 --> 0:16:14.480 not one that we should have. But we were talking about, well, 0:16:14.480 --> 0:16:18.400 if the Pope is going to criticize Donald Trump, why 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:21.640 isn't he Why wasn't he out there criticizing October seventh, 0:16:21.680 --> 0:16:25.040 Why wasn't he out there criticizing when forty plus thousand 0:16:25.120 --> 0:16:28.960 Iranians were mowed down by the Iranian regime. Why doesn't 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.320 he criticize the lack of human rights? They just don't 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.760 exist in Iran for everyday men and women, and they 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:39.880 slaughter gays and lesbians, and women are beaten if they 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:42.000 don't dress a certain way, or they're put to death. 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:45.520 Anybody that dared to rise up against the regime, they 0:16:45.520 --> 0:16:47.640 have been put to death, and they're still being put 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.920 to death. And it seems to me to be a 0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.480 lack of moral clarity. And Bill, we were talking about 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:56.400 and you brought up the point about, well, the church 0:16:56.520 --> 0:16:59.480 is very pro life. Well, if it's pro life, I 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:01.640 would think that is kind of a no brainer for 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:04.680 them to speak out against the slaughter of all these 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:07.000 innocent people by the Iranian regime. 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:07.679 Over the years. 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:11.880 That's not what they do. So Biden didn't get it booted. 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.960 They didn't do anything to him at all, and they 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:20.199 did not want to get the Catholic Church into a 0:17:21.280 --> 0:17:27.879 political beef between liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans. So 0:17:28.440 --> 0:17:32.960 here's the final point on this. Both are men are correct. 0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:36.440 Both men are right, okay, And this is very unusual 0:17:36.480 --> 0:17:39.560 for Americans. We don't accept this. We always have to 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:44.240 have somebody's right and somebody's wrong. That's our collective mentality 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:48.199 in his country, not here. And this is why I 0:17:48.240 --> 0:17:54.119 could moderate this thing. Trump is absolutely correct in trying 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:59.200 to wipe out a threat to the world, the threat 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:04.320 that would kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people, women 0:18:04.359 --> 0:18:08.760 and children. He's absolutely correct in doing that. The Pope 0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:14.199 is absolutely correct in speaking in general terms that we 0:18:14.359 --> 0:18:21.040 don't want human conflict. We have to be pacifists, we 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:28.360 don't use violence. So they're both right theoretically, and the 0:18:28.400 --> 0:18:33.960 Pope unfortunately made injected himself into a situation where he 0:18:34.240 --> 0:18:39.760 wasn't equipped to deal with the backlash. Most people think 0:18:39.760 --> 0:18:44.679 the backlash is against Trump. It's not. It's against the Pope. 0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:50.240 Because people don't understand exactly what you were saying. Why 0:18:50.280 --> 0:18:55.480 wouldn't he speak out against these horrible terror nations? Why 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:59.720 would he ignore that? But he never does that. They 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:05.320 don't don't do that. They speak in general theological. 0:19:04.760 --> 0:19:07.960 Terms, but they don't do that when it comes to 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.200 the issue of life. And I think this pope as 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:15.640 selectively and I think there is a lot of politics 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.680 behind the statement that he made. And I'm not tying 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.480 it to David Axelrod's visit, although it may very well 0:19:21.520 --> 0:19:24.440 be tied to it. I'm sorry, Bill, but if you're 0:19:24.440 --> 0:19:27.159 going to take such a strong stand for life, it 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:30.160 should be every life. And if you're going to take 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.479 a stand if the church itself does not have moral 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:38.000 clarity on the issue of good and evil, then I 0:19:38.040 --> 0:19:41.159 think they are failing. I feel like they're failing in 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:45.040 their mission. I mean, Jesus said no problem, you know, 0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:48.800 pointing out evil when and where he saw it, and 0:19:49.320 --> 0:19:52.840 I think that he should be the example for all. 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:55.800 And I think the church is too timid. 0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:00.639 What's that, I say, that's an excellent point. The church 0:20:00.840 --> 0:20:04.560 is too timid. They don't want to get involved with 0:20:04.680 --> 0:20:09.480 politics and pitting one religion Islam, I'm against the other. Catholicism. 0:20:09.840 --> 0:20:13.160 They don't want any of that. So that then then. 0:20:13.359 --> 0:20:17.040 Then stop lecturing world leaders that are eradicating evil in 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:17.480 our time. 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:19.080 Stop. If you're going to stay out of it, stay 0:20:19.119 --> 0:20:19.520 out of it. 0:20:20.560 --> 0:20:22.479 But he took a side, I'm going to I'm going 0:20:22.560 --> 0:20:25.440 to pass that along in Latin to uh poblio. 0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:26.439 You know what? 0:20:26.680 --> 0:20:29.240 You know why I'm so confident in my views? It's 0:20:29.280 --> 0:20:32.720 from the Latin confideo? Did you know that word of 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:37.120 the day confideo with Deity with God. There's a difference 0:20:37.119 --> 0:20:41.600 between confidence and arrogance. Anyway, I hope my commentary comes 0:20:41.640 --> 0:20:45.359 from a position of confidence, not arrogance. I would not 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:47.159 want to be an arrogant person. That is not an 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.880 attractive quality. Mister O'Reilly will do it live stir. 0:20:51.000 --> 0:20:56.679 I wouldn't know anything about that. I think it's a 0:20:56.760 --> 0:20:58.520 worthy discussion, that's for sure. 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:03.920 All things O'reillybilloreilly dot Com. We appreciate you, sir. We'll 0:21:03.960 --> 0:21:06.800 check in with you next week. Eight hundred and nine 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.240 foot one, Sean, if you want to be a part 0:21:08.280 --> 0:21:10.600 of the program, John Long Island, New York next on 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.520 the Sean Hannity Show. What's up John, How are you hi? 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.400 Sean thanks for taking my call. You and O'Reilly well 0:21:16.480 --> 0:21:19.840 born and raised on Long Island Catholic school for twelve years. 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:22.280 I didn't go to a prep high school like you 0:21:22.320 --> 0:21:24.240 guys did. I just went to a regular high school. 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:27.200 But what it comes down to is, in my opinion, 0:21:27.520 --> 0:21:31.840 poop Leo is a liberal and he's speaking as a liberal. 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:35.719 He's not speaking as a pope. What O'Reilly is sending 0:21:36.160 --> 0:21:38.800 just a basic outline. Yeah, I'll go with that as 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.879 far as what the pope should do. But I think 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:43.719 top Leio speaking as a liberal. 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:47.640 I think you're right, and I think unfortunately it's it's 0:21:47.720 --> 0:21:52.720 selective morality on the churches part if and I think 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.919 there was selective morality on the churches part when they 0:21:55.960 --> 0:22:00.280 didn't deal with their institutionalized corruption in the church, which 0:22:00.320 --> 0:22:02.800 is such a shame because, as I said, I mean 0:22:03.119 --> 0:22:07.160 in so many positive ways, being raised Catholic and going 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:11.679 to Catholic schools twelve years and really embracing the Eucharist 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:15.320 and the Mass, which I do to this day. It's 0:22:15.400 --> 0:22:18.119 just it's it's heartbreaking to me that they allow that 0:22:18.240 --> 0:22:21.400 to happen and they never resolved it. As far as 0:22:21.440 --> 0:22:25.040 I'm concerned, and it pushed me away from the church 0:22:25.560 --> 0:22:29.000 in that and they pushed me away. I didn't change. 0:22:29.040 --> 0:22:33.280 My values have not changed, and if anything, I've gotten 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.880 closer to my faith and as I gotten older, and 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.560 I just I just look at this church as lost, 0:22:42.240 --> 0:22:45.760 and these comments further illustrate where I think the church 0:22:45.840 --> 0:22:50.080 is lost. You know, if you can't stand against the 0:22:50.160 --> 0:22:54.760 death cult that has been fomenting terrorism around the world, 0:22:54.760 --> 0:22:58.240 that wants nuclear weapons, and then you're criticizing the guy 0:22:58.280 --> 0:23:02.080 that has had the moral courage to take them on 0:23:02.280 --> 0:23:05.320 and defeat them, which is not an easy decision for 0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:09.840 any leader to make. I find it beyond disappointing to me, 0:23:09.920 --> 0:23:10.840 but I'm not shocked. 0:23:11.119 --> 0:23:11.399 John. 0:23:11.440 --> 0:23:14.280 We appreciate you. Thank you, my friend. All my best 0:23:14.280 --> 0:23:16.600 to my friends in Long Island eight hundred and nine 0:23:16.680 --> 0:23:18.360 four one, Sean, if you want to be a part 0:23:18.359 --> 0:23:23.680 of the program a JP in Gavin Newsom's Marxist Utopia 0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:24.560 of California. 0:23:24.640 --> 0:23:26.280 What's up, JP? How are you. 0:23:26.440 --> 0:23:29.120 Hey, Sean? It's great to speak with you again. Unfortunately, 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:31.479 while I was waiting for you, I was filling up 0:23:31.480 --> 0:23:34.080 my gas and we used to cost me forty dollars, 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:36.720 cost me eighty five dollars today, It's crazy. 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.720 How much for gallina gasoline? Do you get regular unredded 0:23:40.800 --> 0:23:43.800 leaded or a premium unleaded or what do you got? 0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.600 No, I get regular and it's up to I paid 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:50.600 seven fifty nine nuts. 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.760 Seven fifty nine a gallon. I mean that is insane. 0:23:54.200 --> 0:23:56.399 You know most of that money goes to your state 0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:01.840 on a gallon of gasoline. This Stata California makes more 0:24:01.920 --> 0:24:04.000 profit than the oil companies. 0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:04.840 How sick is that? 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:07.280 It's crazy? And on top of it, I was well, 0:24:07.280 --> 0:24:09.960 I was waiting they were changing the sign for the 0:24:10.480 --> 0:24:13.840 super to eight dollars. I mean, this is out of anyway. 0:24:13.880 --> 0:24:17.280 That's my question to you is, first of all, I 0:24:17.320 --> 0:24:20.080 want to thank Rushing level for anitizing me because he 0:24:20.200 --> 0:24:22.200 was he was my mentor. He was great. 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.600 He's my mentor too, He's a lot of people's mentor. 0:24:25.640 --> 0:24:28.560 And frankly, for all of us that give our opinions 0:24:28.560 --> 0:24:32.439 every day, we owe a debta gratitude to Rush for 0:24:32.520 --> 0:24:33.920 all that he did to pave the way. 0:24:33.960 --> 0:24:36.240 And it was not easy for him. It was hard, 0:24:36.480 --> 0:24:36.760 I know. 0:24:37.160 --> 0:24:37.360 Well. 0:24:37.359 --> 0:24:40.960 My question to you is President Trump always says, drill, baby, drill, 0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:45.560 and if we have enough oil supposedly in the United States. 0:24:45.880 --> 0:24:49.000 What happened to the Alaskan pipeline and why are we 0:24:49.080 --> 0:24:50.600 paying so much for oil? 0:24:51.080 --> 0:24:56.160 Well, it is happening. We are energy independent. We don't 0:24:56.200 --> 0:24:58.879 need a drop of energy from the straight of hormones 0:24:58.960 --> 0:24:59.320 at all. 0:24:59.480 --> 0:25:00.000 We just don't. 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:02.440 I think right now, as I said at the beginning 0:25:02.480 --> 0:25:04.920 of the program, I think the president's showing great restraint. 0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:09.080 The President could wipe out the Iranian economy. It would 0:25:09.080 --> 0:25:11.719 probably take less than an hour. He could blow up 0:25:11.760 --> 0:25:15.560 carg Island. Their entire economy is based on oil, and 0:25:15.720 --> 0:25:18.360
