We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful.
Try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally on the iHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, how are you doing?
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Now, uh normally I wouldn't be nervous, even though there's like the biggest radio show in the world.
17 million people listening.
But I don't know, I feel shaky.
I haven't done a radio show in like eight days.
I took the whole week off last week.
Uh this is that week where all the big hosts just disappear, although we've invited a bunch of them to come on today.
All your favorites who you've been missing.
So uh we got lots to get to.
We'll get to this stimulus stuff.
$2,000, $600.
What's the real deal?
What's the real story?
And it's a great example of fake news slandering the president.
We'll get to that coming up.
We'll get to uh that little crazy Dr. Fauci.
We'll get to the vaccine, all the latest.
We'll get to um the election, the recount, the fraud, straightening it out.
What's gonna happen?
We'll get to uh old slow Joe Biden and uh what's his next move?
And uh we got lots to get to.
Alec Baldwin's wife has been caught in a series of lies.
We'll get to that uh coming up, so I think I know what I'm doing.
Linda, are you there?
I am here.
See, there you go.
Can we say where we really are?
Is that okay?
Sure.
Oh, I'm actually not in the studio.
See, this is now the uh result of 2020, and this will continue forever.
Everybody working from home, Zoom, uh Skype, home studios.
So uh nobody's in the studio anymore.
Uh in fact, why do we even have that studio anymore?
We don't even need it.
Okay, first of all, some of us are in the studio, not all of us have the luxury of working from home every day.
Mark Simone.
So uh, you know, speak for yourself.
I'm just saying.
Oh.
I get to work at home a couple of days a week, and what we do is we rotate the team because we're all FEMA employees as we get the news out to the American public.
So we all have to be in there because it has to get out to our many, many affiliates.
Yeah, Linda is allowed to work from home because if you ever had her around, oh my God.
Everyone's oh, I'm just gonna go back to the code.
Don't you don't put don't put this here, don't put it over there, do this, don't do that.
Are you trying to say I'm controlling?
I can't No, no, no.
Uh no, she's one of those people.
Why'd you put that over there?
Put it over there.
Then when she comes back, I don't ask you.
Put it back over there.
You know, that would look much better over there, which is my veiled way of saying move it.
All right.
So uh, and as Sean will be back uh soon.
What is Sean doing on his vacation?
Uh somewhere sleeping.
I you know, I don't even know if he left, you know, I really don't.
You know, he's got the the kiddos home from school, and I think he's probably hanging out with them and and doing all that fatherly stuff, you know, that he's doing four hours of media a day, and now he's got you know all these days off, so I'm sure he'll come back from the store crazy.
I hope it's not one of those crazy ski vacations.
I don't get that.
Oh god, no, he has not done that in years.
Oh, good.
Can you imagine that people pay a lot of money to go somewhere where it's even colder than where you are, and you're stuck in a snowstorm.
It's ridiculous.
So I don't know.
I kind of like it.
They make very good hot todds.
You know, that's available everywhere.
You can get that anywhere.
I mean, if you were in Florida, you don't have to have it airlifted to you.
They got it right there.
Speaking of Florida, I've been talking to people down there.
Uh, and it's it's uh they're very open down there.
Restaurants are open indoor, outdoor, everybody's moving around.
You wear a mask when you're in a store or you're gonna be near people.
But otherwise, they've got it wide open and they're doing fine.
Their numbers are excellent.
Better than New York, where we've got the craziest governor and mayor uh here in New York City, who's locked down everything, uh, bankrupting the city.
You know, New York has lost so many residents.
Uh Governor Cuomo has set the new record for most people leaving a state.
So many people have moved out of New York because of his management that we're gonna lose uh one or two congressional seats in New York.
Uh and the state is totally bankrupt now, uh, needs a massive bailout, which he'll never get.
The crime is uh getting out of control, biggest crime spike in history.
Now, what is he doing about it?
He wrote a book about great leadership.
Which uh, if you're in the bookstore, it's in the true crime section that he wrote this book.
So uh anyway, we've got lots to get to.
We'll take your calls, of course.
The uh stimulus is a great example of fake news at its best.
Uh the pres it was $600, the president fighting for $2,000, which is makes sense.
It's a heroic move.
Fight for 2,000.
Now, to get the 2,000, you have to take money out of that other spending bill.
That's the one where it's uh, you know, 50 million for the Kennedy Center for a ballet that nobody's gonna watch, 100 million for a gender uh something in uh in Pakistan, gender studies.
Hey, what happened to follow the science?
That's a man, that's a woman.
It's I mean, follow the science there.
Uh but there was money for uh Sudan, there was money for and the president obviously it's so logical.
Why don't we just not give any foreign money out right now till we get ourselves uh taken care of, do we get every our citizens taken care of, paid for?
So that's what he meant fighting for that.
Uh there was no way the Democrats would budge.
No way, they couldn't budge them.
He bluffed them, he uh you know, tried to uh uh play chicken with them.
Uh it nothing worked, so he finally had to sign the bill.
You know, he wasn't gonna leave you without the 600.
So now fake news reporting that uh he deliberately delayed you, he deliberately delayed the check.
He's deliberately he's dog terrible what he did.
It was heroic fighting to get you 2,000.
Now you got these idiot bureaucrats, these Chuck Schumers jumping in.
Did you hear him today about uh I'll get you the 2,000, I'll fight for the two.
Where were you a week ago with the 2,000?
Now, what they did, this is what the Democrats are really up to.
They want to lock in that 600, pass that, get that, and that's it.
Because they didn't want to take any money out of the other bill, the trillion dollar spending bill to pay for this.
Because now, why do they fight so hard for money for Sudan or money for the uh Kennedy Center or well, because there's uh uh a lot of favors being done.
There's lobbyists, there's donors.
That's why all that money goes there.
There's contracts to be handed out.
That's why they want to give all that money.
If they just give you $2,000, they get nothing out of it.
Oh, they might be heroic and help you, but uh that doesn't mean anything to them.
They want to take care of donors, unions, contracts, handouts stuff.
That's why they're always yelling infrastructure.
You should see them.
They start drooling when it comes to infrastructure.
That's a trillion dollars in contracts to hand out, and they overpay by uh a thousand percent.
You know, if it costs, you know what it costs to pave a road?
40,000 a mile.
You know what they spend on it?
A million a mile, literally.
So uh that's why they like all that climate change.
They love that.
More contracts to hand out, more donors.
So uh that's and that's the reason uh as the president fights to uh clear up all of this mystery about this election, the election fraud.
That's the reason a lot of these swamp Republicans turn on him.
These swamp people turn on him.
You'd think they did they do everything to keep him, but you gotta remember, I hate to say it, but uh Donald Trump, not only bad for Democrats, but for swamp Republicans, this Mitt Romney rhino, or these just these swamp people.
Their business is donors, lobbyists, handing out contracts.
The president disrupted the whole business model.
Every time he saw a CEO, here's my phone number.
Call me if you need anything.
That's not the way it's supposed to work.
He's supposed to hire lobbyists.
They're supposed to spend 100 million on these congressmen, donations, money into their pack, into their political pack.
So now I don't know what's gonna happen.
January 6th is the big day.
That's when they have to actually count the electoral votes in Congress and uh declare some sort of victory.
There's all kinds of stuff happening.
Uh you got, listen, you got voter fraud that's pretty obvious all over the place.
Uh and fake news will keep telling you That the president has lost every case in every court.
Every case has been lost.
Not a single case has been lost, not one.
In every case, a court simply refused to hear the case.
They said, you don't have standing to bring it.
You're the candidate.
Who else would have standing to bring it?
But uh uh not there hasn't been a single evidentiary hearing where they've actually looked at the evidence.
What will break first to Pennsylvania?
It's tough.
Uh hey, Linda, uh you think Arizona's gonna break first.
That that's I don't know who's gonna break first.
What I will what I will say is that if there is nothing to hide, then the Secretary of State's websites would have already given out all of the voter data so that we could look clearly and concisely at what they are considering when I think what we will see is that what they call anomalies, or if we call corrections or events, there's over 600 corrections in the state of Pennsylvania alone.
If we look at just comparing data to data voter files between Democrats in Arizona and Maricopa, Pina, Coconino and Panao, then we look at those frontloaders and we look at the rest of the data, and they'll say, Oh, well, that's just because the Democrats told them to get their early votes out and the ballots were in.
Actually, that's not true because they had exactly the same return for Republicans and Democrats when it came to early voting return ballots and requests for mail-ins.
So a lot of their arguments aren't being argued properly because they're not involving data scientists.
Data scientists are people who study data.
So I don't know why we're not doing that.
You know, Ron Johnson had a hearing a couple weeks ago that was completely useless.
There wasn't a single person on that panel that knew anything about data, and it was embarrassing.
And it was a waste of taxpayer dollars.
And I am ashamed that there were not more people there that could speak to what was happening because there's plenty of them out there doing the work.
Yeah, there is a lot to look at.
It hasn't been looked at.
Uh, if uh there was nothing to worry about for Democrats, I'm sure they would say, hey, look on look at all you want.
Here's the servers.
Take a look.
I've if there was nothing to hide, they would be handing you the servers.
You'd be giving you the password.
You could do it.
Think about it, Mark.
Think about Michigan.
Like, think about what happened that day.
Think about all of the GOP poll watchers, electors, observers that went down with all their proper credentials and they couldn't get in there.
Then we've got Mark Zuckerberg, you know, with the CTCL baloney bringing people in, and they're allowed five feet away from somebody that's counting the votes, but the GOP observers have to be 25 feet back.
I mean, we are talking about some serious infringements.
I mean, basically, Mark Zuckerberg to the playground of the government in the 2020 election.
Essentially.
Speaking of that, I'm on Facebook and I put up, it was a very funny picture.
You've seen this meme of Joe Biden with the empty parking lots and uh Trump with the 50,000 people at their and it's it's a funny, it shows all this stuff, and then how could Biden have won?
And it shows uh uh tr uh uh Trump won so many more counties, a million more counties than but how could Biden win?
So I go back to the next Facebook, put a big uh warning thing on it.
You're fat there are fact checkers as rule.
This is false.
The fact checker they used is political fact, which is a total left-wing, ridiculous, biased.
So I'm reading how the hell could you argue this isn't something to look at?
And they said the reason is uh, and in fact, you know that uh Biden didn't win the counties that Obama won.
Obama won a lot more counties than Biden.
So they argued that uh Biden was strong in the urban counties, the rural counties had very few people, and that's where Obama went.
Are we supposed to believe that Obama was stronger in the rural counties than uh Biden or Trump?
It doesn't make any sense.
So then I look in this uh fact check.
I said, Who is the and they said we consulted our experts?
Every expert was professor at the University of Illinois, professor at the university of this.
How is a college professor, an expert in anything?
First of all, they could be the professor of their living room.
It wouldn't matter.
So long as they say what the left wants them to say, they'll put them on there.
It's baloney.
Nobody's doing their own fact-checking of the fact checkers.
No, and they you cannot consult a university professor.
They have absolutely no standing, no qualifications.
They've never run an election, been in an election, they're just academic textbook, liberal left wing.
Hey, when I was I went to college, which was considered the best broadcasting school in the world.
And I was the they had these great professors of broadcasting of and I was also working in some great radio stations.
Where'd you go to school?
Well, I I don't want to say, because I'm gonna say uh these professors didn't know what the hell they were talking about.
I wouldn't tell you because I'm gonna bash them.
No, I mean it was a little uh whippersnapper.
They're working in some pretty big radio stations, and they go to uh school, and the professor was it must be done this way, and you've got to do it this way, and everything they said was wrong.
Everything.
They had no contact with the real world.
So I I would imagine it's like that in most businesses.
If you're uh uh one of the great businessmen of the world and you went and took a business class at a couple, you'd probably find out they don't know what they're talking about.
In fact, that was the scene.
Remember the Rodney Dangerfield movie?
Back to the city.
Oh, yeah, back to school.
Oh my God.
I love that movie.
Well, anyway, we got lots.
Uh hey, I shouldn't point out I'm Mark Simone.
I'm normally on WOR, our big flagship, uh, here in New York, where it's me and Sean and Rush in a great lineup all day long.
Uh but uh we got lots to get to.
We'll take some calls.
1800-941 Sean is the number.
You can follow me on Twitter, uh, although I never could gain a single Did you know I haven't gained a follower in a year?
Oh, I can't imagine why.
Gee, I wonder why.
Maybe you should say you love Biden.
It's any Trump supporter.
Uh, I've been retweeted by the president twice in one day, didn't gain a single follower.
As if that's mathematically possible.
So you can follow me there or parlor or Instagram or wherever, but we'll take some calls.
800-941 is the number.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean.
I'm normally on our big uh flagship, W O R here in New York.
Uh we'll take some calls.
800-941 Sean is the number.
800-941 Sean.
Uh, just looking into this, this uh Alec Baldwin, he's quite the con man, this Alec Baldwin, uh, because he's been going along with this con job.
His wife pretending to be Spanish, speaking with a Spanish accent.
Her name is Hilaria.
It turns out it's Hillary.
Uh, and he must have been in on it because her explanation is before she met her husband.
She was spending time in Spain.
She learned to speak Spanish, and she said at some point she consolidated things, and next thing you know, she had a Spanish accent.
But when he married her, obviously her parents came to the wedding, and they are from Boston.
They're David Thomas and Dr. Catherine Hayward.
And she grew up in Boston.
Now he must uh he must have known this.
I mean, wouldn't you go you'd have some point go visit her family?
So at some point he must have listening to his wife.
Is that what you're saying?
He was a little bit.
Anyway, you get married and not meet the parents or go to where she grew up.
And uh at some point, wouldn't you say uh Catherine Hayward, David Thomas, uh Boston?
How do you have this accent?
So he's been conning people every Madonna, too.
You know, she's got that uh uh whatever the hell that is, half British fake accent of hers.
Anyway, let's say some.
She has before you go to calls, she's been honest.
She's been saying she's been studying.
She wants to speak that way.
At least she's open about it.
Well, I studied languages.
I don't end up with an accent.
Until our tractors that insist that this march will never add up to anything.
You very classy lady.
But this is the hallmark of revolution.
Yes.
I'm Angry.
Yes.
I am outraged.
Yes.
I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House.
Yeah, you didn't sound that outrage.
Did she someone like that crazy woman in Sunset Boulevard pandering to the camera looking for attention?
Anyway, let's take some calls.
Let's go to Ryan in uh South Dakota.
Hey, Ryan.
Welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
Simone.
Yeah, I am.
Mr. Simone.
Thank you for taking my call that rolls off the tongue so nicely, Mr. Simone.
You said something towards the top of the hour that kind of uh sent a bit of a shiver up my spine.
I just uh had to respond to it.
Um it was about uh the uh push for the $2,000 COVID relief checks.
You described that push from Trump as heroic.
I I just wanted to uh um politefully and tactfully disagree with the characterization as heroic.
Um I never lost my job in the interest of full disclosure.
In fact, for the last uh five months, I've been working two part-time jobs to pay all my bills.
And uh money for those checks has got to come from somewhere.
It's either gonna be borrowed, it's gonna be printed, or it's gonna come from the taxpayer, usually some combination of all three.
And to me, it kind of reeks of the sort of wealth redistribution that conservatives used to not be so.
Yeah, no, no, there's an you're absolutely right, of course.
But uh, if you're gonna waste that uh trillion dollars on the Sudan on uh all those fake programs, Kennedy Center, and I know it's been good for you in uh South Carolina, you've been doing better down there, but there's a lot of places.
New York's a good example where they closed all the restaurants.
That's 400%.
Um, South Dakota even better.
Even better.
So I'd like to see people fight a little harder to get their businesses open, to keep their businesses open in the finest American tradition of telling people in positions of authority, you don't have the authority to do that.
Yeah, well, you listen, you're absolutely right, and thanks for calling, Ryan.
Good point.
Uh but if you're in New York, you got this crazy mayor and this governor Cuomo.
You see them on TV, Mr. Charming for an hour and a half.
This is a rough guy in real life, closing businesses.
You imagine shutting down all the restaurants.
He's bankrupted about uh 10,000 of them here in New York, and it's about 400,000 people that work in that business.
And then it ripples out to another few hundred thousand that are vendors, suppliers that depend on these restaurants.
And when you shut down the restaurants, it uh you know, nobody shows up for that.
Nobody goes to the uh uh comes into Manhattan anywhere.
I mean, he's just killed a lot of businesses.
So you're right about uh uh stimulus.
There's better ways to do this, just to open, you know, uh everybody should study New York right now.
Uh Cuomo wrote that book on leadership.
Well, you should see he's really given a real crash course on what not to do in a state, uh, close all the businesses, bankrupt everything, raise taxes, get people to move out.
Uh, you can look at that nursing home uh decision as probably the single dumbest decision ever in the whole coronavirus where he sent the patients who tested positive back into the nursing homes, infecting everybody.
Let's go uh hey, speaking of a mess, uh California.
Let's go to Anthony in California.
Anthony, how are you doing?
Taking my call.
Yes, Anthony.
Yeah, um, I was just, you know, had a kind of a comment or uh question is you know, back in March, we, you know, uh, what was it, Andrew Newsom?
I mean, Gavin Newsom.
Um I get mixed up between Cuomo and Newsom, but where's where's the field hospitals?
You know, where's the the uh hospital ships?
You know, they say we're at a hundred percent capacity now in ICUs, but you know, they're not calling in these resources, and they're not asking uh help from um President Trump.
So, you know, my only thought is do they not want to get caught in their lies again?
Yeah, I don't know what to tell you about that, but uh thanks for calling, Anthony.
It's a strange situation in California.
They claim they're at full capacity.
You have to remember you hear a lot of these governors say, we're out of ICU beds, as if that's the end of the world.
Well, you know, you can actually create new ICU beds.
You can make another hundred or two hundred ICU beds when you need to just equip them that way.
You gotta bring in some ICU nurses, but you can always do that.
That's not it's not hard to do.
We did that in New York.
I just brought him in from uh somewhere else.
But you remember uh again, crazy governor Cuomo screaming, I need 40,000 ventilators.
Well, you didn't need that.
He needed 1,200.
And uh remember the president sent the hospital ship comfort with a thousand beds, built them a thousand bed hospital in the Javett Center.
An absolute miracle.
He built this hospital in like one week.
It was an amazing thing.
Army Corps of Engineers was never needed.
Uh and all of that.
You know, if you ever watch CNN or MSNBC, you just want to see something silly.
You'd be terrified if you watch this all day.
It's like everybody who gets the coronavirus is dead in a week.
It's uh you can't really die from the coronavirus anymore.
If you have underlying conditions, some you know, terrible medical situation, uh, then of course you could, but you could from the flu, too, if you got that.
The death rate is approaching zero on uh coronavirus.
Survival rate is now ninety-nine point five percent for almost every age group.
So uh and the therapeutics are great.
The vaccine is on the way.
Two million have already been given out.
Uh, you're gonna have another uh hopefully 10 million done in the next month.
Uh you notice all these politicians uh saying, I'll do it on TV just to show people that it's all right.
You know, this is their way of jumping the line, getting in there first.
Joe Biden, uh acting like a hero.
I'll I'll get it on TV just to show people that it's okay.
And then you notice his wife is there.
Uh how the hell did she get in line there?
What would Dr. Jill Biden?
She's a teacher in a community college, and suddenly she's Dr. Jill Biden.
Have you ever watched an interview?
Hey, Linda, have you ever watched an interview with Dr. Jill Biden?
I try not to, but yeah, I've seen one or two.
Yeah, go Google uh an interview with Dr. Jill Watcher.
This is this woman, IQ of maybe 95, 100, that's about it.
She's not the brightest woman in the world.
You see why she never advanced out of a community college as a teacher and uh kind of a nitwit.
Yeah, but I have an issue with anybody, all these PhDs who want to be called doctor.
You know, unless you can save a life, please just spare me.
Put PhD at the end of your name.
I'm fine with that.
You've got the loans to prove you did it.
That's all good with me.
But I don't need to call you doctor.
PhDs don't call themselves doctor.
We know dozens of them.
Monica Crowley, our buddy Monica Crowley, how many times has she been on the show?
Please call me doctor.
Give me a break.
I, whenever you're done introducing her, she doesn't say, hey, you gotta call me doctors.
Exactly.
And anybody who says call me doctor, I don't want to know you.
Yeah.
Let me point out, Jill Biden is not a PhD.
She's a doctor of education.
You know, uh she went back late in life, just like Bill Cosby when he was about 50 years old, his career stalled for a while.
So he went to the University of Massachusetts and got a doctorate of education.
And remember for a while he called himself Dr. William H. Cosby, but after a year he got tired of it and stopped doing it.
So she's got the Bill Cosby degree.
And uh it's gonna be a if he gets in, there's still a chance he could be president.
Uh if he gets to be uh Biden.
Oh, God, no, never.
There's a chance, but uh if he well, you can't you don't we gotta watch out for this swamp.
They'll do anything they have to.
Uh anyway, let's take another.
Let's go to Dave in Chicago.
Dave, how are you doing?
I'm doing very well, Mark.
Good afternoon.
Mark, this is a textbook case of how out of touch Democrats are to defund the police.
The Nashville bombing incident with its police heroes saved countless lives on Christmas morning.
And their call to defund the police, I say all police departments across the country should have their budgets increased, not cut.
Yeah.
Well, I don't yeah, no, of course I agree with you.
Uh but I I don't know if any of these uh the protesters wanted to defund the police.
I don't know if any of the real democratic politicians, by the way, all of you who are protesters listening, your Chuck Schumers and your Joe Biden, they didn't really believe any of that stuff.
They just what they're just playing you to get elected.
They couldn't care less about the defunding the police or um uh any, you know, George Floyd, terrible, horrifying situation, George Floyd.
But have you ever heard Joe Biden or any of these people ever mention it again?
They forgot about it completely.
Once they got elected, once they if they think they got elected, once they don't need him anymore, totally forgotten about.
Um let's take another call.
Let's go to John in uh Florida.
John, welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
How are you doing?
I'm glad you had my call there.
Um my question was simple and straightforward.
Um Cuomo's doing such a lousy job, like new some out in California and typical demon rat.
There's no doubt about it.
But why don't they go ahead and do a recall on him?
There's a lot of people out in Western New York, out in the Buffalo area that are set up with the guy.
They have had it.
You know, they're hardworking people.
They they get up, go to, you know, get up and go to work every morning.
Is that how you really think the liberal mad?
Get up and go to work and be happy.
You know, I mean, come on.
You know, I mean I mean, you know, you're absolutely absolutely right.
Thanks for calling.
Um if there were an election tomorrow, Cuomo would lose.
He'd get wiped out by anybody.
Anybody would beat uh Cuomo.
However, you can't just do a recall.
In New York State, our Supreme Court has to put it on the ballot, and they you have the Supreme Court, the legislature.
The reason New York got so bad is uh there's a legislature, two houses, usually one's Republican, one's Democrat.
For the last few years, they're both democratic.
The courts, everything is all democratic.
One party state.
That's why it went crazy.
Uh hey, I was just point out, you're talking about the dumbest things ever.
Cuomo signed this legislation here in New York where all the prisoners are released, the most violent criminals.
They're all released, no bail.
Everybody's out, no bail.
Uh there are you hear this crime spike in New York?
Uh the cops, every time they arrest somebody, we know this guy.
We've arrested him like 12 times this month.
And they they get back out in the street in a couple hours.
This is a Cuomo in action.
Bear that in mind next time you watch one of his wonderful uh briefings.
And Newsom in California.
I mean, these two guys could screw up, you know.
Uh, people have been plotting to how to how to destroy America.
Just send these two guys to every state and they can do it for you.
Uh hey, we'll take some more calls.
800, uh 941 Sean is the number.
Lou Dobbs will be with us at the top of the hour.
Boy, I've been missing him all week.
He's on vacation.
And Bill O'Reilly in the next hour, and Peter Navarro.
It's some fascinating stuff.
And uh follow me on Twitter.
It's Mark Simone NY Twitter, Parler, uh Instagram, Mark Simone NYC at Instagram.
Back in a moment on the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Hey, welcome back.
It's the Sean Hannity show.
This is Mark Simone here for uh Sean.
Uh I like this working from home stuff.
Makes life a lot easier.
This working from home.
Uh I mean, Alex and Linda and Jason and Katie, everybody in the studio.
But you gotta check in at the front desk there and they uh, you know, they you always put me in the system, but I'm never in the system, and they always give you that.
You're not on the list.
Well, I'm not.
Well, but what's your name?
It's uh December 28th.
See, I'm right there on the top.
And you have to with the virus and you gotta worry about the elevator, you gotta worry about all that stuff.
So a lot of people working from home.
And now all the uh futurists are trying to predict what happens when this is over, and this is just about over.
What happens next year?
A lot of people are gonna want to keep working from home.
Zoom stock is up like 1200% this year.
Uh, and a lot of employers starting to realize, you know, if we have um a lot of people working at home, we don't need half our office space.
We can save a fortune in rent.
A lot of the employees thinking, boy, if I work from home, I can live wherever I want.
I don't have to live so close.
You can move to a more distant place.
So all that's going on in everybody's head.
However, these experts say uh employers will allow a lot more people to work from home.
They'll be happy to have you work from home.
No problem.
Except uh, as they predict, employers will cut salaries as a result.
Since you're allowing you to work from home, they'll pay less.
So that'll be the concession.
So if you're if you're plotting and planning how you're gonna keep uh working at home forever, that's probably the way it's gonna go.
We have time for a quick call.
Let's go to Brian in uh North Carolina.
Brian, we just got a few seconds.
What'd you want to say, Brian?
Hey, uh Mark Ma happy holidays and all that stuff.
You too.
Just want to just I just wanted to chime in on the doctor thing.
Uh I'm a critical care pharmacist, doctor of pharmacy.
And I don't know a doctor worth their salt that wants to be called doctor.
And I certainly don't want to be.
Um at the college level.
I used to teach, and the students were required to call me that.
But I think that's all right.
Thanks for calling.
I understand in a formal setting you could call her Dr. Jill Biden, but out in real life, you're just an insecure yutz if you make people call you doctor.
It's just ridiculous.
Uh go see a shrink.
Get some confidence in yourself.
You won't have to have everybody ordered to call you a doctor.
Hey, Lou Dobbs will be with us next after the top of the hour.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity on the Sean Hannity show.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started normally a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.

So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional fast.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So Dell a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, it's the Sean Hannity show, Mark Simone here for Sean, normally on our big flagship WOR here in New York.
So this is that uh week or two where every host is away.
All your favorites are gone.
So I I can't help it.
Every day, five and seven o'clock, I run to turn on Lou Dobbs on the Fox Business Network, and he's not there.
So we got him here.
We got to know what he thinks.
By the way, Lou Dobbs has written some excellent books through the years.
His latest book, You've Gotta Get It.
Excellent.
The Trump Century.
Very important book, How Our President Changed the Course of History Forever.
The Trump Century, brand new book by Lou Dobbs.
Make sure you get it.
It's already a big uh bestseller.
And he's with us now, of course, every day, five and seven o'clock on the Fox Business Network.
Lou Dobbs, how are you doing?
Well, I'm doing great, Mark.
Happy New Year.
Great to be with you.
Yes, I can't wait for another year.
Enough with this one.
This has uh been quite a year.
It's been something.
Uh January uh 6th.
That is a big day.
Congress will have to uh officially vote on the electoral college.
What do we think is gonna happen that day?
Well, it's gonna be interesting, as you say, because uh we've we've got a number of congressmen who are prepared to challenge electors.
Uh we've got apparently they are very confident, uh, which always makes me less than confident.
Uh they have some support amongst the senators uh to uh to act uh to actually stand up against uh the electoral uh the electors.
Uh I I personally uh you know I'm not particularly uh fond of either the the approach or the possibilities for success.
Uh-oh.
Well uh I understand what you're saying.
Everybody we're depending on for this, they're politicians and uh the swamp all they tend to back down and uh chicken out at the last second, don't they?
Yeah, think about what we're doing here.
As we are approaching January 5th, uh the day before that, uh, obviously, we're gonna have an election in Georgia where they've changed not anything.
Nothing.
Uh I uh an election, the president, and uh nearly everyone uh who supports him as declared to be uh a fraudulent election.
They've changed nothing.
Uh and they're expecting to have Two Rhino Senate candidates uh prevail.
I mean I I don't quite understand, first of all, the enthusiasm suddenly uh for rhinos amongst Republicans, and secondly, uh how they think that the Republicans will prevail when the Democrats uh showed them how it's done.
Uh Georgia style, Michigan style, California style, Arizona, Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and their list goes on.
Yeah, uh, and the problem is that Dominion seems to have quite a relationship with Georgia and its governor, so I don't see that changing.
And I I understand outsourcing if you're manufacturing, you can pay pennies on the dollar, but how did this happen that we outsource our vote counting?
Why would that ever happen?
You know, it's one of the great mysteries here.
I've covered electoral integrity as an issue for 20 some odd years.
Uh Dominion goes back to Dagold, uh at the time, a a very uh uh suspect organization uh in terms of uh their ability to count votes.
Uh and just there's uh a legacy of this.
We're talking about all of these private companies uh that have proprietary interests and therefore hide behind it.
And I don't hear a single Secretary of State outside uh of Texas uh to correct the record.
They refuse to use Dominion machines, uh, but uh then they used others that are just as privately held and just as opaque uh and lacking transparency that every American should be demanding from all of these uh counting uh uh companies.
Uh they're not just voting count uh companies, they're they do the counting.
And how in the world we've gotten to a point where Americans can just blithely walk in and uh cast a ballot without knowing how it's counted, how what happens to it, what is the ability to actually do a meaningful recount.
Uh what is the paper trail, and how do we know the paper is any better than the electronic uh uh actions that were taken uh during the uh the election uh election, I was about to say election day, election weeks, uh and months.
So it's it's it's a farce.
And we have no one to blame but ourselves, really.
Uh both parties are shameless in this, it's disgusting.
So uh yeah, and I to me the Democrats have no confidence in the in the votes either, because uh if they did, wouldn't they say, here, recount everything.
Hear the passwords, go on the service, look at whatever you want.
Wouldn't you do that if you were Joe Biden?
Yeah.
You know, Joe Biden is such a straightforward, transparent fellow.
Uh and Hunter want to go along just for the fun of it.
Uh make sure everything's on the up and up.
I I mean, you can't make up how I hate to say it.
Americans are behaving in 2020 just as stupidly as we are accused of being by most of our European friends and many of our allies.
We are taking the cake for a people that has just decided, you know, what the hell?
Uh it it looks like uh we don't care enough to have a uh uh an election of uh integrity and accuracy.
We don't care enough to stop it, and we don't care enough to prosecute those responsible.
So I I don't know what anyone is expecting on January 6th or January 5th, uh, because it all looks like the same same old, same old, and it's not a pretty site.
So Lou Dobbs is the bottom line is what this you were more confident.
I just I I forgive me.
I just want to say I I would love to be more optimistic.
I would love to be able to say it's all sunshine, rainbows, and and little bunnies, but this thing is an atrocious mess.
And we're about to watch one of the most effective presidents in history.
In my opinion, he is the most effective president in the first four years of his term since Abraham Lincoln.
And for this to occur, uh there are going to be people uh if if this fraudulent election goes without uh being uh reversed, uh there'll be people begging for Donald Trump to return to office by June.
I I guarantee it.
Well, hey, you should read Lou Dobbs' new book.
This is uh highly recommended this book, The Trump Century.
It really lays out what this president has meant, how he changed the course of history.
Get the book, Amazon or wherever you get your books, The Trump Century by uh Lou Dobbs.
Is the bottom line what this is really all about?
Democrats, Republicans, everybody in Washington, they just want this guy gone.
They want to go back to donors, lobbyists, all that stuff.
They don't want anyone messing with the swamp.
And so you're watching every swamp creature in the country trying to kill this guy.
They've been doing it for four years.
They have taken a run at him.
They tried an FBI investigation, claiming he was a Russian agent for crying out loud, not just assets, but an agent, uh colluding for years.
And that was just the first opening salvo.
Then the special counsel investigation for two years.
The only thing that's been proved so far in any of these investigations is he didn't have any outstanding warrants, or otherwise they would have tried to impeach him for that.
It is ridiculous what we have witnessed.
It is shameful, it's tragic.
And he is one of the he is, in my opinion, the only uh American who could have stood up to all of this viciousness and vile uh attacks uh for four years, and still, still, in my opinion, uh become uh along with Abraham Lincoln, uh the greatest president in our history.
Uh get the book, The Trump Century by Lou Dobbs.
Now, Lou Dobbs, a lot of the Trump campaign originated with you back in the 2000s.
You were on the air talking about the swamp, talking about draining it, talking about somebody from the private sector uh going there and doing this.
People even pushed you to run.
But uh now that it's happened with the toughest guy ever in the history of the world, uh, do you think that has scared off anybody from ever trying this again?
I think possibly succeed without a huge political organization behind him or her.
It's just not going to happen.
And it sure won't be a Republican anytime soon.
I think Republicans uh are are retreating to their uh bathrooms uh to frankly just throw up uh at this at what we're all witnessing.
This is this is pathetic.
It is I'm enraged.
I I just cannot stand to think that this country has come to this.
We are an apathetic and foolish people.
Uh we are not to be taken seriously any longer if we let this happen.
Uh this, I mean, really?
We're gonna watch uh it's what looks like a very real possibility that two Senate seats will go to the Democrats would be a super majority for the House, the the Senate, uh, and the White House.
And here comes Puerto Rico as a is a brand new state.
And uh, you know, pick another state.
What would you like?
DC?
How about the District of Columbia?
Uh wouldn't that be a brilliant idea?
Assuring a Democratic majority in perpetuity.
Uh this is the takeover of a nation.
And we've been such fools to let it occur because we have seen it day in and day out for four and a half years, and still we let it happen.
It's just and we we should have we should hang our heads in shame and then stand up and do something about it.
Well, if there is such a thing, uh Lou Dobbs, as a Joe Biden administration, a month or two from now, what would you tell Donald Trump to do?
What should he uh do with his time and uh energy?
Well, I don't I uh well, first of all, he's gonna have to find more friends than what he really had.
I I don't know who he's been listening to.
Uh what he's but his advisors here have I I think just simply lost their minds.
Uh he have he was on the right issue, uh standing up uh against the the legislation uh that would have given $600 to people, men and women across this country whose families are hurting along with them, uh, and they want to give him 600 bucks, and he wants 2,000.
He needs, he should have stood up for this.
He shouldn't have signed any bill until they were taken care of.
Uh I am I'm just so I have very seldom uh been in disagreement with the president that this is one time where a populist should have stood up for the people.
Uh and he chose not to.
And I know that he has been run over here by the system by the establishment, by the establishment of both parties, Wall Street, corporate America.
You know, John Kerry went around traveling uh mostly through Europe uh and Asia uh when he was uh first off uh in office, had just been uh sworn in uh to occupy the uh city oval office, and he would visit foreign capitals and tell all of the leaders don't worry, we've got this under control.
This won't last.
Uh we will remove it.
Uh I mean the Democrats have done exactly what they intended to do.
They have blocked his agenda as best they could.
He got a lot done though, more than any president other than I said, Ibrahim Lincoln in four years.
Uh but they've they have succeeded in at least uh ending what I think is the most successful president uh since all this.
Yeah.
Well, Lou Dobbs, we miss watching every night, five and seven on the Fox Business Network.
And if you want the best book ever on what the hell this was all about, these Trump years, what got done, what got accomplished, get the new book by Lou Dobbs, The Trump Century, how our president changed the course of history forever.
I'm sure the president is read it.
Did you get a lot of reaction from him on it?
Yeah, he wanted as you might expect.
And I think this is good news, and this is important no matter what does happen over the course of the next month.
Uh, we're going to we are going to be the beneficiaries of a great uh presidential administration that has laid a new course for American presidents.
Um, and it will last for years.
The judiciary, the way in which he is uh uh demanded and insisted upon balanced trade.
You no longer even hear the expression from the left or the right about free trade because we now know it costs a lot of money uh to feed corporate America and Wall Street with our tax dollars and the trade disadvantages.
Yeah.
Well, Lou Dobbs, can't wait for you to get back on the on the Fox Business Network.
Everybody get the book by Lou Dobbs, bestseller great book, The Trump Century, all about the accomplishments of Donald Trump.
Mar Mark, let me have one more week of vacation.
Just one more week.
Okay.
One more week, but then you gotta get back.
We need you.
Lou Dobbs, thanks for being with us.
Take care.
Uh great book, The Trump Century.

Hey, it's a Sean Hannity show, Mark Simone here for uh Sean, 1-800-941-Shawn is the number.
1-800-941 Sean.
Let's take a call or two.
Let's go to uh Skip in Arizona.
Skip, what's going on out there?
Hey, Mark, appreciate you uh taking over for Sean here today.
And I've been just listening to your program, and I agree a hundred percent with uh your previous guests there.
Uh, you know, Lou Dobbs.
Uh It just sounds like he's uh he's right in key, he's standing up and fighting for us citizens out here.
I can't tell you how frustrating it is to listen to talk radio, conservative talk radio, and listen to people that are just going along with it and not leading us.
We need leaders, you know.
Let's take the Georgia thing.
Even if we do win Georgia, we have too many rhinos in uh elected positions right now to do anything.
These guys will only grandstand, uh hold back, get attention through uh causing you know, look at Mitt Romney.
I'm from Arizona.
Look at McCain, look at Slate.
Those guys are nothing more than just a waste of our votes.
All right, good point.
Thanks for calling.
Term limits.
That's one thing we definitely need.
Hey, uh, when we come back, a lot of our great uh TV hosts aren't around this week.
They're on vacation, so we've invited them here.
We'll talk to Bill O'Reilly next, see what he's got to say.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity back in just a bit.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond, and I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.

We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
It's the Sean Hannity Show.
Now, the problem with these uh two weeks here, all of our best and our favorite hosts are off the air on vacation.
So uh we invited a bunch of them on because we've got to we need some uh guidance.
We need to know uh uh as to have somebody explain all this to us.
So Bill O'Reilly has probably had the uh number one top growing website of the year 2020, Bill O'Reilly.com.
You can watch the TV show every night, you can get the message of the day.
Get his book, uh obviously Killing Crazy Horse, huge bestseller.
If you haven't read that yet, get that.
But you can order the new book, Killing the Mob, it's about to come out.
Uh and he we've got him with us right now.
The Simple Man, Bill O'Reilly, how are you doing?
Good.
You know, it's ironic that you just mentioned killing a mob.
I'm just going over the final pass.
Um it'll be on May 4th, and I'm going over correcting, you know, any of the typos or anything like that.
And uh it's pretty good.
Um, it's like Crazy Horse, you know.
It's one of those books where you pick it up and uh it's hard to put it down, a lot of information coming your way.
So uh congrats on Crubin for Hannity Simone.
And uh what do you want to know?
I'm ready, I'm ready to go.
All right, how's this for your next book?
Killing the swamp invader about how the swamp rose up and got tried to stop Donald Trump.
I can tell you don't like it.
All right.
No, I love it, but it would be two thousand pages.
So it make Dust Dostoyevsky look um brief.
So when you're walking around, is everyone come up to you and say Oh, I was just gonna ask you, does everybody everybody come up to you every second and say, you know what you should write?
How about killing this?
How about killing?
You must hear that all day.
Um I mean, journalism committed suicide, so I don't have to kill it.
Um a lot of Americans, I get a ton of mail now because I'm doing Bill O'Reilly.com TV, and then we're doing radio, syndicated radio.
So I really get a lot of mail.
And they don't understand They, the American voter, and and these are good people who pay attention.
They don't understand how the system in Washington works.
So let's take the election, because that's the best example.
So people would naturally say on both sides.
If there's a accusation that rises that there was fraud in the election, shouldn't the federal government want to know that?
Therefore appoint a federal official, a special counsel to look into it and bring in the resources needed to straighten it out one way or the other.
Isn't that a logical supposition?
Yes, but also if you're a Supreme Court justice, you might say we should take a look at the case, but then you think I'll have protesters screaming all around my house for the next six months.
But it's a different story there.
The Supreme Court, and I said this very early on on your WOR program in New York City, Supreme Court is not going to put itself in a position to overturn a vote unless there's overwhelming evidence.
Key word overwhelming.
But right now there isn't.
Doesn't mean there won't be in a month if analytics were brought into the mail and votes and forensics brought brought into some voting machine.
There could be overwhelming evidence.
But right now, the Supreme Court says, well, we haven't seen that, so we're not going to do anything.
I understand that.
I don't I don't see that as corrupt.
What I do see as corrupt is the Justice Department saying, uh, we're not gonna appoint a special counsel to look into any of these allegations.
Why?
That's what you're there for.
You're there to make sure the American people have confidence in the justice system.
And if there's a crime in a major election, that's under your house.
So why don't you do it?
And remember, Trump or Biden can't appoint a special counsel.
Has to come from the attorney general.
So Barr, he quit without doing it.
Now he got some guy in there, I don't even remember his name on a temp basis.
He should do it.
But I don't think he will if you're that guy in three weeks from now or a month from now, you're gonna be out of work and looking for a job.
Wouldn't you say to yourself, I better not do this, or the swamp will never hire me for anything?
Absolutely an excellent point.
That's one of the big reasons that Washington doesn't turn on itself.
No one wants to be a pariah, word of the day.
Pariah.
So that if you go against the system and you say, you know, I'm gonna get to the bottom of corruption one way or the other, then the system goes, you're too dangerous.
We don't want you around.
And you're not gonna be uh considered for any jobs in Washington, D.C. And that certainly is an inhibitor, no doubt about it.
That's what you see in Hollywood.
So there are a lot of performers, I know them, you know them, who aren't left-wing loons.
But you open your mouth and you go against the Steven Spielbergs of the world, you're not gonna work.
And that's why you don't hear anything other than from Hollywood, the standard left-wing line.
And the people who jump into that, they're looking for work.
I mean, would anybody on earth know who Alyssa Milano was?
No.
It's almost like this is a career path.
I'll be a left-wing loon and someone will hire me for an acting job.
So this is the country in which we live.
Hey, if a Bill O'Reilly, if there's a Biden administration, what happens to the New York Times or MSNBC or CNN six months from now?
What do they do?
Well, there will be a Biden administration.
Um all media is going to lose a Tremendous amount of revenue.
Because on television, people are going to tune out.
You know, this break, uh, Christmas, New Year's break, a lot of people aren't watching television news.
They need a break themselves.
And you think they're coming back?
Coming back for what?
Now, you have on the fifth the Georgia election, people will come back for that.
But once the COVID thing gets under control with the vaccine, and once Biden takes over, what are they gonna talk about?
For the last four years, five years.
Spin all Trump all the time.
What are you gonna replace Trump with?
So there's gonna be a dramatic drop in viewers and readers in all media, and you mark my words, that is going to happen in two thousand twenty one.
But uh Bill O'Reilly, you've set records for being number one in cable news.
What do you talk about if you're them without Trump?
What uh is there anything even possible they could talk about?
Yeah, I mean, I'm doing it on BillO'Reilly.com.
We've had the best year of any news service online in the history of the world.
I mean, our our business is is as robust as you can possibly imagine.
And I don't do all Trump all the time.
I'll give you an example.
The San Francisco uh Board of Education just voted to knock out Abraham Lincoln's name on a high school.
That's my leap story.
What is that?
I think San Francisco, the city and the county has left America.
They're not they're not Americans anymore.
They're gone.
That's a different whatever that is out there, it's not part of the fabric of the United States.
Abraham Lincoln, you're trashing him.
That was my lead story.
And for the past 25 years, that's what I've done on my programs, radio, and television.
I take a scene, I take a story that all Americans can understand, and I drive it into a bigger forum.
Yeah.
And that was the key to my success, or is the key to my success.
Uh uh, Bill O'Reilly, can you explain the liberal mind of uh like take a guy like Andrew Cuomo, who's supposedly a sort of a mainstream politician, he lets uh all the prisoners out without bail, gets the biggest crime spike ever, never occurs to him to reverse the policy.
Uh his economic policy is bankrupted the whole state, never occurs to him to reverse anything.
What what is the mentality of that?
That's another excellent question, Simone.
You're really on your game today.
So uh Cuomo's assistant or one of his personnel walks out of her home a couple of days ago, and some guy comes up and hits her in the head with a piece of concrete.
You read about that, right?
Yeah, yeah.
Right near his office, yeah.
Could have killed her.
All right, Rick Moranis, the actor walking down to his apartment and gets punched in the face.
No reason for either of those two things.
When you let criminals and mentally ill people run wild, what do you think you're gonna have?
I was a high school teacher.
If I didn't impose discipline on my class, I couldn't teach.
It was anarchy.
If you don't impose discipline on your city or county, the criminals are gonna come out and do what they're doing in New York City, in Chicago, in Portland, Oregon, in Seattle, in San Francisco, in Los Angeles, and on and on.
Cuomo knows this.
But Cuomo's lust for power is so strong, he knows the winds are in New York are left far left.
So his kite is up in the air going in that direction.
But the downside is that the state and city of New York is deteriorating so fast, that's gonna ultimately wind up in Cuomo's lap.
Because he's in charge.
And there's no one on this earth that can tell you that the city and state of New York is prospering.
They're losing millions of people packing up and getting out.
Same thing in California, same thing in Los Angeles.
So the guy's in charge, short-term gain, long-term pain.
Well, uh, and Bill O'Reilly, uh, you're coming back next uh Monday.
I'll be back on the fourth.
But what we're doing, we we've opened up um the year ender on BillO'Reilly.com for everybody.
You don't have to be uh a subscriber to the service.
Just go there.
You can see what I've done on the year ender.
I think you'll be impressed.
Uh that'll be something you can do over the break that um will entertain and inform you.
And then on the fourth, uh, we'll be back with a rip roaring uh opener for the year 2021, which has to be better than this year.
I think this is the worst year in U.S. history.
Um, you know, the Civil War was pretty rough, but 2020, certainly in modern times, this is the worst year, worse than 1929, the depression year.
Um gotta be better next year, but there's so much uncertainty, so many things that could go wrong.
And we have very weak leadership coming in.
Extremely weak leadership coming in.
Well, well, everybody go to Bill O'Reilly.com.
There's a lot of great stuff there.
The TV show, uh, the books, the message of the day, and uh also all this week people can go absolutely free uh and look at everything, sample everything.
Yeah, Bill O'Reilly.com card, Moan.
If you got that little gift card in your stocking, your Christmas stocking, yeah.
Right on out there and buy killing crazy horse because that will entertain and inform you.
So you'll be set until New Year's Eve when nobody's going out anyway.
And like a lot of the Bill O'Reilly books, interesting, fascinating history, but a lot of lessons you can uh learn about today uh in there.
And the new book is killing the mob.
You can pre-order that and be one of the first to get it, killing the mob.
Just go to BillO'Reilly.com.
You get everything there, BillO'Reilly.com.
And Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with us.
Hi, Mark.
Happy New Year.
We'll talk soon.
Thanks for having me on.
Happy New Year.
Take care.
Uh yeah, I hate to say it.
It's the end of the year, 2020.
Hey, a lot of stuff happened in 2020 that we've all forgotten about.
Big stories of the year, totally forgotten about.
We'll go over them a little later on in the program.
We'll take some calls.
1-800-941 Sean is the number.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey, welcome back.
It's the Sean Hannity Show.
Mark Simone here for Sean.
Normally you hear me on our uh big flagship station, W-O-R in New York, and you can follow me on Twitter and parlor and uh um Instagram, all that.
Just go to Marksimone.com.
There's a button there you can sign up for everything.
Uh hey, we like to bring you, and we've been doing it throughout the program, the smartest people in America, Peter Navarro, the uh great White House trade advisor, he's written a very important white paper on the election.
Uh we'll talk about uh the election, we'll talk about China and what's gonna happen there.
Peter Navarro, how are you?
I'm doing just great.
How are you there?
And the the big Apple uh is is uh Mother de Blasio taking good care of the city there.
Well, as you may know, we're a total mess between de Blasio and Cuomo.
It's empty, the biggest crime spike in history.
It's broke.
It's a mess.
Hey, uh, explain the democratic mind to me.
After uh watching everything fail and the whole city's a disaster.
How come they don't say maybe we should change this policy?
It's all about uh it's like the dog chasing the car, right?
They chase power, and then once they get it, they don't know what to do with it.
And that's what we got with uh Bill and and uh Mr. Cuomo there.
Uh yeah, it's a it's a disaster.
I mean uh it's a shame, but you know, uh I'm glad you mentioned this uh this work I'm doing uh on um the election irregularities because uh I did do uh a deep dive.
I wrote this report called the Immaculate Deception, and it I think it shows incontrovertibly that this election was stolen from Donald J. Trump.
It was done a very sophisticated strategy.
The strategy, Mark, is the Democrats set out several some years ago to do this.
But it's basically, think about it this way.
Their strategy is to stuff the ballot box with absentee and mail-in ballots so as to boost the Democratic turnout, right?
And so uh in one sense they had a way to actually increase the number of them ballots coming in.
Uh but at the same time the ones that came in often which which should have been rejected, they had also had mechanisms in place basically to reduce the amount of ballots that would otherwise normally and legally be rejected.
And so if you look across these six states Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, what you see um are very, very margins by Joe Biden.
And basically if I can mix metaphors a little bit, it was kind of like a giant point shaving or vote shaving scandal whereby they used these these these different categories of election irregularities.
I mean only one of it was outright fraud and there was there was plenty of that but you had ballot mishandling, you had due process files, you had equal protection violations, you had voting machine irregularities and you had uh statistical anomalies like precincts having greater than a hundred percent voter turnout, right?
And so um there's a great chart mark in the in the report Immaculate Deception.
So I mean you can get out of Google it, you'll find it but what it shows is um the six battleground states at the top across the uh across a row and then down the columns these six irregularities and if there's a check mark in the box that means that one of those regularities was in one of those states.
And guess what?
It's a sea of check marks.
And so I if I take you down to Georgia for example that's about a 12,000 uh vote uh alleged victory margin by Biden right and so one of the things they did unfortunately with the help of of uh um Mr Recall please uh Governor Kemp um was they they entered into this consent decree which effectively stopped checking the signatures
of ballots that were sent in.
So they went from like a 6% rejection rate of absentee ballots down to zero effectively.
And that alone, Mark, that alone is enough to sway that election.
And I'm telling you, Georgia cesspool, if they have that election, break a little news here for you, my friend, they have that election on January 5th as scheduled without cleaning up all the bad things that are going on down there.
We're going to have a Democrat Senate majority there.
And the next thing you know, it's going to be the socialist version of Armageddon on Capitol Hill.
So anyway, that's kind of what I've been doing.
I'm working on a follow-up to the report that studies how they did how people like Mark Zuckerberg and George Soros were involved.
And um it reads like a Stephen King novel my friend hey uh you said that if it gets cleaned up uh January 5th is next week it's not going to get cleaned up and the governor of Georgia seems to have a really suspiciously close relationship with Dominion uh how's this ever going to get fixed?
Well I'll tell you what um it can uh look Governor Kemp has the ability to postpone that election he can do that okay he can do that he should do that this other guy Raffersburg who's the Secretary of State is also a Republican the two of them I don't know what they're smoking or drinking or who's got lines into their bank account but they certainly don't support this president in This country,
uh and you the legislature down there seems to want to do the right thing, but they can't do it without uh one or both of the help of Camp and Raffensburg.
I was just telling you, Mark, I mean, it stinks to high heaven, and the people of this country should be very, very rightfully uh outraged at at what has happened in this election.
We're supposed to be the greatest democracy in world history, this side of Athens and Rome, right?
And uh what we have here, I think, is almost 50% of the American public do not have confidence that that was a fair and free election.
And so how can how can we look each other in the eye?
How can we look the rest of the world in the eye?
Get up on our soapbox and say, yeah, democracy's great if we can't run an election.
I'm telling you, that thing, that thing is just riddled, riddled with irregularities, fraud, and everything in between.
Well, let's say there is a Biden administration.
Let's say there is a Democratic uh Congress.
How are you ever gonna fix this?
What are you gonna do about big tech?
What are you gonna do about the foreign companies and foreign service and how are we ever gonna get this fixed?
Yeah, that that's that's the reason why we we make gotta make sure that before the inauguration that we we get somebody in there who actually got elected with legal votes, and that's Donald Trump.
No, I don't look Zuckerberg, that guy alone.
I mean, the stuff he did on behalf of the Democrat Party, I mean, they're not gonna touch him.
They're they're probably gonna they'll probably give them give them a trophy and then send them over to England to get knighted.
I mean, it's not good.
And by the way, uh the way the way Facebook runs, I mean, look uh he you can't make this up, okay?
I mean, one of my big beefs during this election and the aftermath has been the social media censorship of the conservative movement, okay?
And what one of the things Facebook did, this is what you can't make up, right?
Facebook actually hired Chinese nationals from the Chinese communist party who had experience working building and maintaining the great firewall of China, the worst censoring device uh in in world history, right?
And he brought some of those folks over to teach Facebook how to censor conservatives.
I mean uh what what country, what country are we living in?
And that's the thing.
I think I think there's a lot of people who listening to the show now, uh, watch Sean on TV, listen to you on WRR.
I mean, they they're thinking like, wait a minute, uh am I living in two countries, like one country is like rational, sane people who love the country, love the flag, just just want to work and do good.
And this other part of the country that, you know, I don't know what they're up to other than want government handouts and uh it's just it's it's not uh well and the corporate welfare, by the way.
Um and and that's you know, segue over to China if you want, because one of the things I fear if we get an illegitimate and illegal president in Biden is that the same corporations that shipped all our jobs and factories offshore uh under their uh under his watch, Biden's watch, is he's gonna keep doing that again.
They go back to the old ways, be back to the future.
Everything goes back to China, everything's made over there.
Hey, uh let me ask you a question.
Uh are we supposed to believe that in the uh in this year where uh uh a guy rose up and finally stood up to China and took them on and was about to get reelected, that that virus got unleashed, and that was all just a big coincidence.
You raise uh an excellent, excellent point.
You don't have to answer, but well, no, but but one one of the things that I wish we would do.
Um when we've had uh great uh tragedies in our country, one of the things we've done, which has been productive is um to have a presidential commission to investigate.
So you know the Kennedy assassination, uh Pearl Harbor, I don't know if you know this, but we had a president's commission to investigate how that happened.
And the most recent one was the B P spill oil spill in the Gulf.
I mean, here's here's what we need to do as a country.
We We need to have a full investigation of how that virus got started.
Was it in a biological weapons lab in Wuhan, like some people assert?
Did it escape by accident?
Or was it was it unleashed intentionally?
How much has that cost the American people in terms of economic damages, in terms of financial uh damages with all the stimulus we have to do in terms of the cost of human life?
How has China, communist China, used the pandemic to basically uh advance its geopolitical goals?
For example, it was it became a simple matter to crush Hong Kong once there were quarantines and the people of Hong Kong could not go out on the streets.
China invaded India during this pandemic.
And then finally, you know, the big question, uh you know what they used to call the $64,000 question, but this would be more like the $20 trillion question is you know, uh how much did has China cost us, and uh how should we recover that money?
So um you ask a great question.
We don't have answers to that.
And uh we need to get to the bottom of that.
And I think one of the, you know, uh uh we we should have we should have got to the bottom of this by now, but I I think the Democrats, for whatever reason, don't want to open that box.
It's very strange.
Yeah.
Maybe it's a very important thing.
Well, if there is a commission.
Yeah, if Joe Biden appoints a commission, I'm sure it'll be uh uh John Kerry, Hunter Biden, Susan Rice.
Make Hunter the chair, James uh James can be the treasurer.
They'll get right to it.
James's the brother.
Hey, I I hate to say we're out of time, but uh Peter Navarro.
Peter Navarro, you've seen everything.
Uh, your years now in uh Washington.
Are you have you become totally disillusioned with the swamp?
Uh so here's the thing.
Um we are in a fight, and I don't think uh this is anything new.
I mean, you go back uh in our history and and uh there there's just epic battles between two points of view and two parts of our population.
I do think the stakes now are higher than they ever been.
And uh and I'm disillusioned to the extent when I look at this election.
This is this is the most um disillusioning event one can imagine because it really cuts Mark to the heart and soul uh of our of our society, our politics and our economy and our foreign policy.
And um elections have consequences.
And uh it's gonna be a very different world if uh if Sleepy Joe uh gets in there on uh the 21st.
Yeah, I hate to say we're out of time, but everybody should read this report by Peter Navarro, very important.
And what's the best way for people to find the report?
All right.
Uh go to my Twitter account, real P. Navarro, real P. Navarro on Twitter.
Uh and you can download it there, or uh if you're a fan of uh uh Bannon's War Room Pandemic uh or the National Pulse, they've got it up there as well.
And it'd be great if uh if you got it up on uh on Sean's site.
Yeah, we'll we'll put it on Hannity.com.
It's a great it's a PDF, very important to read.
We'll put it up.
Peter Navarro, keep up the great work.
Thanks for being with us.
I appreciate it, you my friend.
Uh good luck to you tonight.
All right, take care.
Yeah, quite a story.
Hey, follow me on Twitter too, Mark Simona Twitter or uh uh Parlor.
I mean, like Parlor now or Instagram or all of that.
We'll take some calls in a minute.
1-800-941 Sean is the number.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey, it's hey, welcome back.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Uh top story of the day.
We'll get to the top stories of the day, but uh my favorite story of the day.
I hate this Alec Baldwin.
This goofy Alec Baldwin with the silly wife who is uh with the Spanish accent, hilarious.
Am I saying it right?
Hilaria uh Baldwin.
Well, uh there's no way to say it right because apparently it's all fake.
It's a fraud.
She's a fraud, a liar, a con woman.
Uh she made up the name.
The Spanish accent she's been working on for years.
It's a fake accent.
Uh, somebody finally outed her.
She's a uh daughter of uh Dr. Catherine Hayward of Boston.
She's as Bostonish as you can uh be, uh, not Spanish, the whole thing was a fraud.
She got embarrassed and was uh uh everybody went after her on Instagram, so she pulled down her account, and she brought it back with a video trying to explain it all that she had spent time in Spain and uh she was learning Spanish, and somehow it turned into an accent, and uh nobody was buying anything, and then she went away again.
Now she keeps coming back with these different explanations.
Uh it it you just got caught.
You have listen, everybody knows you were lying.
You made it up.
The husband, Alec Baldwin, obviously went along with it.
He married her.
That's interesting.
Interesting.
Yeah, very interesting.
Uh when you went to the wedding, her parents were there.
Uh father's name is Thomas, mother's name is Hayward.
They're from Boston.
Uh you must have visited her hometown or parents' house in Boston.
So she faked the whole thing.
Now she keeps trying to come up with these, all these different explanations.
You know what?
Just say uh uh I don't know what you just I'd just say you'll just love the Spanish culture.
You loved it so much you pretended to be it.
So uh caught, outed, that's it.
Uh 800-941 Sean is the number.
We'll take some calls.
So um, couple of things going on.
The president will have a rally in Georgia this weekend.
The election is the fifth.
Uh, when is that exactly?
That's next week.
Uh the fifth would be Tuesday, this coming Tuesday.
That's a week from tomorrow, the Georgia election.
We'd like to think the Republicans will hold the uh Senate very important.
Uh divided government is great when you've got uh Biden in the uh White House.
You don't want all Democratic uh crazy nonsense going on.
Uh also it's good for the economy, stock market soars.
They like divided government.
Uh just stalls everything.
The less they get done in government, the better, when it's uh a Biden administration, if that's what's going to happen.
So the problem is everything uh that was wrong with this past election, from Dominion to mail-in ballots to the bad counting to uh all of a sudden new ballots appearing, uh suitcases showing up.
All that stuff is still there in place in Georgia.
Nothing has changed.
So for a Republican to win, you usually got to have like uh at least 10 points just to overcome the cheating.
So you're gonna need a huge turnout this coming Tuesday in Georgia uh to get the two Republicans elected there.
Not that they're any great uh uh, you know, incredible uh leaders, but it's better than a Democratic Senate.
So you got to make sure you vote in Georgia for the two Republican candidates and uh and get them elected.
Um a Democratic president, possibly, a Democratic Congress, and a Democratic Senate.
You do not want that because we did that here in New York State.
We got a Democratic governor, and then we have two legislatures, the House and the Assembly.
Both became Democratic.
So it was entirely democratic, the whole state.
And they went nuts with the craziest stuff you've ever seen.
Legislation was passed that uh all prisoners will be released without bail, no bail, everybody, the guns, shootings, stabbings, released without bail.
All Democrats running everything.
Next thing you know, we got the biggest crime spike in the history of New York.
Uh the taxes, all this stuff that passed.
We've had more people leave New York than any other state in America.
You can't even move right now in New York.
There's a four to six-month waiting list for a moving company.
They literally don't have enough moving vans to move all the people.
Moving vans are now like ventilators.
There's a shortage, you can't get them.
So uh the state is totally broken bankrupt.
You do not want a Democratic House, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic President.
You got Biden coming in.
And you look at the cabinet, it's all these retreads.
John Kerry, uh, this Tony Blinken, Secretary of State.
Tony Blinken, he stays in the background, but he's another John Kerry.
He's an exact replica of John Kerry.
He's a 20-year, 25-year younger version of John Kerry in every way, all the same background characteristics, everything.
In fact, when Kerry was Secretary of State, he made Blinken as number two, because it's just a copy of him.
You got uh uh Ron Klain, you got all these Obama people coming back, all coming back.
Uh who else you got to get to oh, the the uh a couple of new people.
Pete Boudej, what did he get?
Secretary of Transportation.
Now you might say, huh?
Transportation?
Well, remember when he pretended he was serving in Iraq when he went over there for a he wasn't really uh, I mean, he makes it sound like he was some sort of military figure in Iraq.
He was the mayor of South Bend, had enough clout to get himself commissioned and sent over there without ever going to boot camp, without any training.
And he went over there and he did an office job, was in a cubicle in an office on a base for two or three months and then came home.
Nothing to do with combat or uh any wartime act, just office job on a base.
But uh sometimes when they were short of a driver, they would use him as a chauffeur to drive an officer into town and back.
And that's that's all he did for a couple of few weeks and then he came back.
So I guess if you were a chauffeur, that qualifies you to be Secretary of Transportation.
Makes sense to me.
There you go.
There's a real now.
The uh if he's gonna be the president, Joe Biden is talking about all kinds of things, using the Defense Production Act to make as much vaccine as possible.
Uh making more PPE.
How do you like that?
Uh and if you read the New York Times or these um fake newspapers, they keep talking about this is a brilliant idea.
What a great idea.
Uh they don't point out we've been doing this for eight months already.
Uh it's uh it's already in the works anyway.
Hey, let's take some calls.
Let's go to Jim in Florida.
Jim, welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
Hey, hello, Mark.
Uh, thanks for taking my call.
Oh, thanks for making your call.
You don't.
Yes.
Two things real quick.
Um, first, you know, you can call this theft, you can call it cheating, you can call it fraud.
By any other name, it's treason.
It's dealing with our election.
It's a national, it's a it's a national disgrace.
As soon as there were funky stuff going on on election night, I trump should have implemented the insurrection act, and I say gone to martial law.
Because people notice.
I don't mean to interrupt.
You ever notice whenever a guy says, I'll make this quick, real quick.
He always talks for 20 minutes.
That's always but that's good.
That's good.
Uh I know insurrection act, but uh I know what you're saying.
I uh listen, I can understand your frustration, Jim.
Thanks for calling.
Let's go to David, who's uh in Long Island.
David, welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
Thanks, Mark.
For weeks I've heard people ask about what conservatives do about the election interference.
Here's a call to action.
I am calling for everyone to drop Facebook, Twitter, Google, and Chrome browser on January 7th.
Everyone posts one last message that a tweet that says, due to the role these companies played in the interference of the election and censorship of conservative views, we have switched to another platform.
And I say does it.
Okay, okay, wait, wait.
All right, but wait, let's break this down.
Instagram, I love my Instagram.
But mostly you put up pictures of food or what you did or where you went.
Uh I like my Instagram.
So what am I going to do without it?
And and then I understand what you mean about Facebook.
Uh I have been so censored on Facebook and and wrongfully so they pulled down one Biden post with this.
They have these fake, totally slanted left-wing, ridiculous fact-checkers they use that are all wrong about everything.
Uh, Twitter uh is horrible.
Uh did you do this, by the way, David?
Did you get off all these things?
Yes, I've already done this, but I'm asking for everybody to do it on the seventh, because on the sixth, there's supposed to be a big protest, and I think everybody needs to tweet and and post everything about that, then shut down their account.
Now, if you get rid of Google Chrome and you stop using Google search, trust me, they will see the reduction in the traffic, and they will notice it.
I think these companies forget that about half of their customers are conservatives.
Yeah.
All right.
Well, thanks for calling.
It's a good cause.
Now, when it comes to Twitter and uh Facebook, they've been pulling down posts, so they'll put something right on top of your post.
This is factually incorrect, and here's what our fact checkers say.
And it's never a real fact checker.
It's always a fake fact checker, like Politafact or Factcheck.org or Washington Post.
And they never, ever, ever, ever get anything right.
It's all slanted left-wing fact checkers.
Uh that's Facebook.
If you don't you want another Facebook, oh, we don't really have one yet.
But Facebook is kind of fading out on its own.
Mostly older people left on Facebook.
Twitter is uh, I mean, Twitter's just awful playing games.
Uh uh, I got to about 200,000 Twitter followers, and then it froze.
I never got another follower.
There were days I got retweeted by the president of the United States two, three times in one day and didn't pick up a single follower.
Uh, first I thought it was just me, but then I asked around anybody who supports Trump uh on TV or radio, never gains any more followers.
In fact, follow me on Twitter right now.
Let's see if I can if I I mean you'll I'll if like if you all follow me, I'll gain a few and then uh somehow I'll lose a few.
But it's Mark Simone NY at Twitter.
The good news with Twitter is you can go to Parlor, P-A-R-L-E-R.
That's the new Twitter.
No censorship of conservatives.
Uh you'll have a much better time there.
It's P-A-R-L-E-R, Parler.
You can follow me there too.
But if you're on Twitter, go sign up for Parler, because at some point he's right.
We may all move over to uh parlor and have to do everything here.
I don't know what you're going to do about this uh tech stuff.
If there is a Biden administration, you will see I'm just telling you right now, you'll see Hunter Biden, board of Facebook on the board of Twitter, on the board, you know, uh Joe Biden was talking about going after Amazon.
Why?
Uh, because next thing you know, Hunter Biden will be on the board of Amazon, and that'll be the end of that.
That's the kind of stuff that'll start happening soon.
Hey, let's go to uh Captain Russ in Arizona.
Captain Russ, how are you doing?
Hey, uh listen, I'd like to cut right to the chase here.
I'm respectful.
Good idea.
We respectfully disagreeing with Bill O'Reilly and the phony reasons that he gave out, and that and you kind of agreed with it on that female call that was fouled.
Now, this Supreme Court, if they take that, if they should have at least looked at the evidence.
So how if they didn't look at it, how could they possibly say that there was no standing?
When there was 18 states, 100%.
We we all agree.
You agree with I agree with you, you agree with Bill or we all agree.
What O'Reilly was simply pointing out was the reality of the situation is these justices are cowardly and afraid to take it on.
They don't want to see a thousand protesters around their house 24-7 for the next six months, and they're afraid.
It happens even with Supreme Court justices.
So that's what that's all about.
I mean, we we all agree.
O'Reilly uh simply pointing out the truth.
That may be a reason, but it's not an excuse.
No, it's terrible, but it's the reality of it.
It's I mean, people shouldn't have taken the job if they can't stand the heat.
I understand you're it's like people join the Marine Corps because they like the pretty uniforms, and then they get in there, they suddenly find out that, hey, they actually want me to go to combat.
Yeah.
Well, you're not wrong, Captain Russ.
Thanks for calling.
I agree with you 100%, but I'm just giving you reality.
You're a Supreme Court justice, and you got a nice house in the suburbs of Washington.
You realize you're going to have these screaming protesters out there 24-7 and they'll never go away.
Democrats also threatened the Supreme Court, and the threat worked.
They threatened to pack the court, 25 more justices, you'll be lost in the crowd.
Uh they were just afraid to take it on.
Now we'll see what happens after the election.
And their excuse, you're right.
Their excuse was ridiculous.
The president hasn't lost a single case ever, anywhere.
Every court just refused to look at the evidence.
They just refused.
In the case of the Supreme Court, they argued that he didn't have standing to bring the case.
We you're the candidate.
Who else would have standing to bring the case if there were election fraud?
So it'd be interesting to see after this is all over, if God forbid there's a Biden administration for a few months after that, if they'll then take the case, then look at it.
Uh all these cases, even the Sydney Paul stuff, the Dominion, all that stuff may get proven in court at some point.
Uh I mean, that if if the president loses this battle, it's important that he keep these cases In this fight going, get our election system cleaned up so that we don't ever, ever have one of those kind of elections again with all the suspicious stuff going on all over the place.
What a year 2020 was.
But you're forgetting all the uh early stuff of the year.
You remember the even the beginning of the uh lockdown?
It was all we did was uh everybody was watching Tiger King, hunting for toilet paper.
That was the uh early period.
But even before that, Kobe Bryant was one of the big stories of the year.
Harvey Weinstein, one of the impeachment.
Remember the impeachment month when uh Democrats were ignoring the virus and concentrating on impeachment.
Uh uh, what else?
Oh, Mike Bloomberg.
That was one of my favorite parts of the whole year.
Mike Bloomberg, who looked like this uh powerful billionaire who's gonna enter the race with his billions of dollars.
And then uh all of a sudden America got to know the guy and found out he's a total stiff, no personality, can't talk.
Gave the single worst debate performance in the history of presidential debates.
Remember that great moment?
Elizabeth Warren just slapping them around, just punching them right between the eyes over and over again.
He was gone.
So, hey, uh I'd say we're out of time.
