I news, roundup information, overload hour, Sean Hannity show, 800-941.
Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
Still remaining on jury verdict watch if it happens this hour, not likely, I guess at this point, we'll let you know.
Uh there was a great hearing yesterday, and that was the Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Mayorcus really getting pounded uh by many senators.
Ted Cruz was one, Senator Marsha Blackburn was another.
Here's Senator Blackburn asking Mayorcus why Biden uh needs a wall at a beach house but not at the southern border, uh, which I thought was pretty interesting, and then the other Republicans grilling Mayorcus over the southern border.
Listen.
And U.S. taxpayers are also funding a half million dollar fence around President Biden's Rehobus Beach House, correct?
I'm not aware.
And your department is overseeing this construction.
You should be aware of that.
President Biden obviously likes walls when they protect him.
So can you explain to me why a wall is effective and necessary as the White House and the Biden Beach House, but is not necessary at the southern border?
Yes, I can.
There are there are thousands of miles along the southern border, and I agree uh with what then Senator McCain uh presented, which was there are different solutions for the border because of its tremendous expanse, the great diversity in the terrain that it must cover, and therefore the key, the key to border security is fundamentally advanced technology.
That is the most effective means because we're not going to construct a border wall on the ragged and jagged cliffs in certain parts of the border.
How many murderers have you released?
I'm not aware of any murderers whom we rapists have you released?
I'm not aware of any rapists whom we how many child molesters have you believed released.
I'm not aware of any child molesters whom we have released.
We've got a president who's implementing a national mandate for vaccines for any employers over a hundred employees and all federal employees.
Why shouldn't we mandate that somebody who comes across the border illegally shouldn't be vaccinated, or that's a reason for expulsion?
Under Title 42 or any other law.
Uh uh, Senator the analysis for um uh migrants encountered at the border is quite different uh than for uh the federal workforce that leads by example.
I joining us now is Senator Marsha Blackburn from the great state of Tennessee.
Uh you know, I listened to Mayorcus yesterday.
Uh I didn't find any of his answers adequate, and I found uh a lot of hypocrisy and dishonesty here.
You know, it's just like Jen Saki saying, oh, well, we we don't need to give COVID tests to illegal immigrants, they're not going to be here very long.
And meanwhile, the administration is dispersing illegal immigrants all over the country with preferential treatment, no COVID testing, and no vaccine mandate.
And it's costing the American taxpayer billions of dollars.
You're exactly right about that.
And we got no satisfactory answers yesterday.
He was ill-prepared, he was arrogant, he was dismissive.
He was at times a little bit aloof, Sean, and it was absolutely so frustrating to hear him be so cavalier about how they're addressing the border to hear him say that the border is more secure than ever to hear him try to punt when we actually read the stats to him from his department from the border patrol about the uptick that we are seeing in illegal crossings at the southern border
very ill prepared and just you know when you're s you know that these people are coming across the border they're there for only a few hours as they come across and then people, gangs, sex trafficking, human trafficking, labor crews, drugs, they are into every town and every state in this nation.
Every town's a border town and this is why I think the American people are so frustrated with this administration and this border policy.
They're seeing crime in the streets, drugs in the streets, they're seeing children die.
They're seeing fentanyl cost the lives and the just the sadness and the danger that this causes for so many families.
It it is unbelievable to me, but I think the most glaring deficiency we have is we had control borders.
Yes.
Uh Donald Trump's policy stay in Mexico worked, building the wall worked, uh ending you know catch or I now call process and release.
That worked as well.
Now not only has all of that gone away now they're inviting people in their processing them.
They're in the middle of a pandemic they're they're overcrowding they're putting people in overcrowded cages and then they take it to another level and that is that they don't test them for COVID.
There's no vaccine mandate then they disperse people all throughout the United States in the middle of the night and claim that these are early morning flights.
They're aiding and abetting law breaking.
Now where I grew up I was taught that you don't get to pick and choose what laws you you want to obey and those laws that you want to break, Senator.
Well that's exactly right and that is what they are doing.
You know when they are choosing to send people into communities with no notification to any of the local or state elected officials and these individuals do not have proper identification.
they have broken the law.
When they are saying two people that were separated from a child for either a shorter or a longer period of time, many times so that they could make certain that that child was not being trafficked, and they're saying, we're going to pay the child and the adult $450,000.
And if you're two parents, two children, that would be $2 million.
This is a time when inflation is running rampant.
Many people are having trouble figuring out how they're going to make ends meet during the holidays.
Sean, people are fed up with this.
You know, and I asked him yesterday if they were planning to pay people that had lost their lives or had been harmed by illegal aliens that were in this country.
And, of course, he wanted to argue about that.
But they contradict themselves.
Their policy is to keep that border open and bring as many people into the country illegally so that that we do not know who is in this country or what purpose they are coming so that we have drugs and crime in our streets so that women and children are being abused and sex trafficked that is the border policy of President Joe Biden and his administration.
So what is the answer because I talked to Greg Abbott I've talked to the Arizona Attorney General I've even talked to Ron DeSantis about it.
Ron DeSantis is actually floating an idea that he's serious about when they disperse people to Florida he's thinking of putting them on a bus or a plane and sending them straight to Delaware or maybe Washington DC.
Um because the these governors uh Senator they don't have the right to enforce the law that would be the that would be the role the federal government.
Yes you're right about that we've talked about doing that from some of these that they have flown into Tennessee is putting them on a bus and sending them up here to the White House and uh because you have no control over this the answer is exactly what the Border Patrol tells us they want to see done.
They've said it for 30 years.
President Donald Trump gave them what they needed to secure this country.
Number one, building the wall.
Number two, enhancing technology.
Number three, giving them the agents that they need on the ground.
And number four, give them the judges to adjudicate these cases, clear this back backlog, and let people know they are not going to be able just to walk into this country and send a message to the cartels that they are not going to be able to go out here and charge people ten thousand dollars a person,
abuse them physically, sexually, emotionally, with when they're on this journey, and then have the U.S. taxpayer finish the job once they touch U.S. soil and buy them a plane ticket and send them wherever they're going in the country.
But the reality is how do we have the legal means?
Where is the legal what is the legal means to justify if you're not here in the country legally to remove people and send them back?
Who has the authority to do that?
You're a senator.
I don't think you have the authority.
Governors don't have the authority.
The federal government should have the authority.
And by the way, even border patrol agents don't have the authority.
So who has the authority to make that happen?
The authority does rest with the Department of Homeland Security and with ICE.
And it is their job.
But as you talk to Border Patrol and ICE agents, which Sean, you've been down there, you have talked to these guys, and I know they have told you, like they've told me.
This administration will not let them do their job.
That is why they so appreciated President Donald Trump, because he allowed them to do their job and to secure that border and to reduce the number of illegal crossings, and he was giving them a wall that they have been asking for for years.
All right, quick break.
More with Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn on the other side.
And your call's coming up, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
Still on jury verdict watch.
In the Kyle Rittenhouse case, we'll have full coverage tonight on Hannity 9 Eastern Fox News.
The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but Sean Hannity's on right now.
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 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.
As we continue with Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, one other area I wanted to talk to you about is on the issue of vaccine mandates.
Uh there's now a numerous legal challenges around the country.
We did have the ruling of the Fifth Circuit.
I think that's a good first step.
Where do you see these challenges going in the courts?
Well, we know that the Department of Labor is going to waive their rule for a while while they or OSHA is going to waive it while they figure, try to figure this out.
But they don't need to be figuring this out.
This is not the federal government's place to do it.
I actually have legislation we filed that says if you were an essential worker during the COVID 19 pandemic, you would be exempt from this federal mandate because all of our first responders, law enforcement, health Care, grocery store workers, airline workers.
They showed up, they did their job.
They never missed a day.
They figured out how to handle COVID, and they kept themselves and their families safe, and they should be exempt.
But this administration is wanting to make this the litmus test.
You get the jab or you don't get your job.
And this is another way they have of controlling people, of trying to federalize health care, of having employers do the enforcement of controlling employees' lives from daylight to dark, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.
And their mandate will not stand up to a court challenge.
And because of that, we're continuing to work with these groups, and it's legislation like mine for essential workers that is helping to give people hope that they're going to be able to keep their job and not get fired because they won't get the shot from Joe Biden.
And Sean, we've had the United Airlines flight attendants and uh Chicago police and uh New York City, first responders, all sorts of unions, Democrat, Republican, Independent, they have all signed, come out supporting my legislation that would exempt these essential workers.
They were our heroes in 2020, and we need to take care of them now.
You know, I I agree with you.
You know what the saddest thing to me is all the nurses, all the hospital workers, all the all the military, all the policemen and the firemen and the EMTs.
I mean, those people were the heroes in the early days of COVID, and frankly, all throughout COVID, even now today.
And they go into an environment where they're putting their own lives at risk.
They did so, they did so willingly.
Many of them contracted COVID as a result, and our answer to them at this point is uh take the shot, even if you have natural immunity, uh, or you're fired.
You know, w whatever happened to the option that Joe Biden was floating when he first mentioned vaccine mandates, which he said he'd never do, uh, the option of, for example, testing people.
Well, and so many of them have told me, they've said, you know, Marsha, I'll take a test.
I'll take a test every week or two if they want me to take a test.
But I don't want to get the vaccine.
I have a medical concern or I have a religious concern, and they have asked for an obje uh an exemption.
They're not trying to avoid accountability, and they're not anti-vax.
They are anti-mandate.
And I have talked to people who have family members who maybe had an adverse reaction or there's a history of heart disease.
Uh, there are other concerns that individuals have.
But for the federal government to turn around and say, okay, if you employ a hundred people, then guess what?
You're going to be the vaccine police, and we're going to require you to do this, whether you like it or not.
Well, then what is the federal government next going to require employers to do for their imp to their employees?
What kind of activity are they going to require them to police?
And these are all concerns of of individuals.
Most people want to keep their job.
They love their job.
They have worked hard, they understand COVID is not going to be a way.
This is not something that we're going to defeat.
This is something we have to learn to live with, just like we do the common cold, just like we do the seasonal annual flu.
This is something we what are parents going to do when they finally mandate vaccines against five and eleven-year-olds.
We only have 20 seconds.
I hope are going to stand up.
Children are not transmitters of COVID.
And we know that.
And parents should say, no, let's wait.
The research, we need to depend on uh more research, and we need to listen to the science on this.
And science says children are not transmitters of COVID.
All right, Senator Marsha Blackburn, great state of Tennessee.
Uh Senator, great to have you.
Great job yesterday.

MyPillow.com, Sean Hannity Square.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour.
On Hannity.com.
Uh, I see Sarah Carter also on her website has picked up on something nobody else really in the mainstream media has picked up on as it relates to the OSHA.
Um what member Joe Biden makes the vaccine mandate argument, and he was going to use OSHA as the vehicle by which he would enforce these vaccine mandates.
Well, the occupational safety health administration, they have now suspended work on Biden's vaccine mandate after a federal appeals court, this is the first uh Fifth Circuit ruling, um, hit pause on rules that would force companies with a hundred or more employees to require COVID 19 shots uh or regular testing.
One of the big problems is they forgot about the regular testing part, and it's either get the shot or you lose your income and you lose your benefits and you lose your retirement.
OSHA pointed uh to the stay of the U.S. uh Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit, and said that the court fight over the regulation known as the emergency temporary standard isn't over.
The court ordered that OSHA take no steps to implement or enforce uh and they now are waiting until further instructions from the court.
While OSHA remains confident in its authority to protect workers in emergencies, OSHA has suspended activities related to the implementation and enforcement uh pending future developments in the litigation.
Now it's unclear when the notice was posted, but the Missouri Attorney General, Eric Schmidt, took a victory lap uh today, and this happened late yesterday.
He said earlier this month, I led a coalition in filing a lawsuit to stop OSHA's unlawful vaccine mandate, the first states to do so.
Now, yesterday, OSHA announced that they would suspend enforcement of their illegal emergency temporary standard that mandates vaccines or testing on private employers.
This is a huge victory for the people of Missouri and businesses across the country, and an important step to completely halting these vaccine mandates, but there's more work to be done.
So I'm sure that's going to be challenged in court.
Uh 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Um there is a new development, by the way, in the case of the attorney general, and of course, looking into moms and dads at school board meetings as domestic terrorists.
Now we find out that on uh this was on October 4th of this year, the Attorney General forwarded a memorandum addressing a spike in harassment, intimidation, threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.
The memorandum then directed each United States attorney in coordination with the FBI to convene meetings with federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial leaders in each federal judicial district within 30 days of the issuance of this memorandum.
We share the obligation to ensure that every individual is able to do their jobs without threats of violence, fear for their safety.
Now that this can only be accomplished with effective coordination internally between relevant divisions and through effective coordination and engagement with our law enforcement partners and United States attorney offices.
As a result, The counterterrorism and criminal divisions created a threat tag, and they give the name of it, uh, to track instances related to threats.
We ask that your offices apply the threat tag to investigations and assessments and threats specifically directed against school board administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.
The purpose of the threat is to tack threat tag is to help scope this threat on a national level and provide an opportunity for comprehensive analysis to the threat uh picture for effective engagement with law enforcement partners at all levels.
When evaluating potential threats, we ask that you attempt to identify the following.
Is there a federal nexus?
Are there potential federal violations that can be investigated and charged?
What's the motivation behind the criminal activity?
Now, most of this stems from the fact that parents have been speaking out in school board meetings.
At times it gets heated, but a heated discussion is not a threat by any definition.
And parents are angry.
They want age appropriate materials, for example, taught to their kids.
Parents are speaking out loudly against critical race theory.
Uh parents are speaking out against draconian COVID measures, and school boards and people like Terry McCullough have been saying parents shouldn't have a say in their kids' education.
You know, you would think that they would welcome the input of parents that are concerned and interested and care enough to participate in a school board meeting, which I've got to imagine is pretty dull and boring, uh, but they care enough to involve themselves for the betterment of every kid's education, but apparently not.
The government wants to do it their way, and they don't want input from parents, and that's exactly what contributed, I think, in a big way to Terry McCullough's loss in the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program, as we say hello to Chad is in Texas.
Chad, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
Glad you joined us.
What's going on?
A whole lot, Sean.
A word on the street, and thank you for taking a call.
You're my favorite.
Word on the street is that you're in Sunny, Florida to give out an award tonight at the end.
Word on the street is correct.
We're not hiding the fact that we're all down here in every everybody from Fox, I think, is down here in Florida.
Uh I've been working, so what do I know?
Exactly.
So one more quick word on that, and a special uh word to you.
Um if you're giving out an award, then that means you're Sean Hannity, so you should receive two awards tonight.
Um, to just to you know, throw that.
Oh, I should get an award for giving out the award.
Uh well, award Hannity an award for giving out the award to somebody that is far more deserving than I am.
You you're giving out the award to whomever, but that means you should receive two different awards from what have you.
I was just kind of giving you a little uh note there.
But um uh Sean, you're my favorite on radio, and you've got a uh short week next week for Thanksgiving.
I'm quite sure that it's just Monday and Tuesday.
Uh so I want to wish you and your family and your team, both radio and television, a very uh safe and happy Thanksgiving.
And I just need two things from you.
Okay.
2021 turkey ball for our video.
And come 415 Eastern, have your course light in the refrigerator and watch my Dallas Cowboys beat the Las Vegas Raiders on Thanksgiving morning.
Well, you and my son happen to be like the biggest Dallas Cowboy fans in the history of the Dallas Cowboys.
My my son wasn't alive when Roger Stallback was called quarterback, and he can give you every every single statistic there is on Roger Starback, for example.
Uh so I really don't have a choice because in New York, we really don't have a professional football team.
We have two of them, but neither one is worth watching.
Um it gets beyond frustrating.
But uh listen, I'm I'm a big fan of Dak.
I think he's a great quarterback.
I think he's a franchise quarterback from for many years.
Uh I'm hoping he stays healthy.
I know we had we had one little scare with him earlier in the in the season.
Um, but I so you want me to put my turkey frying video up again, and you want it to be a current one, not the one I put up two years ago.
Is that what you're saying?
That that's correct, because you know, uh, China virus, the asterisk last year, 2020.
So to see if you've got a new turkey ball fryer to see if there's anything uh new that you're gonna put to it.
But the most important thing is you know, watch my Dallas Cowboys on their annual national chip televised team.
I am gonna be using my master built turkey fryer, uh Butterball Turkey Fryer.
If you haven't gotten one, you need to get one, you use peanut oil, you put it in there.
A fifteen pound turkey takes an hour, and it is the juiest, the single most delicious turkey you will ever eat in your life.
So, yes, that is my role, and this year I think I'm gonna cheat, and I'm gonna buy an electric um what do you call it?
Elect electric carver.
What?
I have news.
What?
Are you ready?
Yeah.
It's very exciting.
I'm excited.
There are three professional football teams in New York.
Not two.
What's the third one?
Well, what are the first two?
Which ones do you think there are?
Don't cheat.
What's the matter with you?
Giants and Jets.
And the Buffalo Bills.
Oh, that's right.
I didn't think about the Buffalo Bills.
You're welcome.
Because I don't care that much about the Buffalo Bills.
Okay, first of all.
Buffalo Buffalo is in upstate New York.
And that's where real football is.
That's where they have snow and beautiful.
I was up there one time when my kids were younger.
We got great affiliates.
For a tennis, we do have a great affiliate up there.
For a tennis tournament.
Okay.
The traffic hours before.
And this is the cool thing.
Now the weather in Buffalo.
Yeah.
By the way, the biggest fan of the Buffalo Bills in the history of the Buffalo Bills was Tim Russet.
Is that right?
Tim Russell and I, even though I'm sure he disagreed with a lot of my opinions, was a wonderful human being.
He loved you.
Uh I loved him.
He was a great guy.
Um and if you've never read Tim Russert's books, you you gotta you gotta read them.
Uh Big Russ is the first one.
Can I tell you when I first started working for you?
One of the first things you said to me, I booked him for the show, and you said read his books.
It's an education.
It's an education.
I think I was with you three years.
His dad was a garbage man.
We had very similar backgrounds.
Right.
And for example, when the family was throwing out broken glass, a lot of people they just, you know, take it, throw it in the bag.
Right.
But because he was in the profession, he knew.
He knew that garbage men might just grab the bag from this angle and they might, you know, cut themselves wide open.
Yep.
And you know, he would always wrap it up in cardboard so the guys wouldn't get hurt.
Right.
Uh, and then he then everybody else started sharing with with Tim their stories of their fathers and how great they were, and then he made it his second book, another huge bestseller.
It kind of reminds me what's the other book you always tell me to read, Rich Dad Poor Dad was one of the other things.
No, I think my grandfather's son by Clarence Thomas.
That's another good book.
But I also talk about Rick Warren's purpose-driven life.
Oh, yeah.
If you like a self-help book, very good.
Uh, I think The Roadless Traveled is a classic that everybody should read.
Um, I think books like Dante's Inferno, which I've read, Pilgrim's Progress, if you want to get into the real classics, the old Harvard classics.
Um, definitely worth reading.
Um Gotten Man, Amity Shells.
Yeah, uh I'm interested in Ayn Rand.
I'm interested in novels when I have time.
I don't have time to read, but Taylor Caldwell is my favorite author.
Um, and she's long since passed, but she was so insightful.
I love books that talk about life after life and people that that were pronounced dead for a period of time and then come back to their body.
And they describe their experience in heaven, like heaven is for re is for real.
And uh 90 minutes in heaven is another famous one.
Uh I love all of those books.
Well, it's incredible.
It's it's sort of the affirmation and the confirmation that you know this is real.
And that's it.
Yeah, I'm not gonna be here much longer.
So when I croak, what's the rule of my my funeral?
Have a party, don't cry.
No crying aloud.
Yeah, it's okay.
I have very expensive mascara.
I'm never crying at that point.
It's never gonna happen.
Just so you know.
No, I said, but and that's and I actually have a line in my I just recently redid my will, and I have a line in there.
I want it to be a celebration of a life undeserved.
Oh, that's very nice.
But that's what I believe.
I like that.
Should we get that on a plaque for you and and put it up or anything?
Well, for my mausoleum, Hannity's America mazzle.
Put it right on the door, you know, and just knock very gently.
I'll tell you one thing.
I'm I'm gonna get a big one so there's room for plenty of people, but I can't I can't spend eternity with you laying next to me.
Listen, don't worry.
You know, you already told me to shut up three times today.
So, you know, we're on we're on a roll, you know.
We get on the road.
Oh my God.
And poor sweet baby James.
He'll be he could be next to me.
I'm fine with that.
Well, Sweet Baby James has that name for a reason.
He's very, very sweet.
He's very kind.
He does all the time.
You know what the interesting thing is.
I was still talking, but go ahead.
Sweet baby James is the kindest heart of any anybody that I know.
Until you piss them off.
See, now I've been here.
I'm here 17 years.
So what I will tell you, and I will leave this person's name out of this story.
Although it would be so fun to put it in.
And you know who I'm gonna who I'm talking about when we get there.
We were on the road for a primary, all of TV, all of radio, sitting at a hotel for breakfast.
It was very early.
None of us are mourning people.
All right.
And someone came over to our table and said that they were unhappy with the amount of noise we were making, which wasn't very much at all.
And James, and you were there, and it wasn't much noise.
First of all, that's not the point.
Okay.
I'm loud.
I make no excuses for it.
It's part of my job.
If you were there, there probably was an inordinate amount of noise, but continue.
I was on my second bloody merry.
I'm not gonna lie.
Oh boy, here we go.
But I'll make this short and sweet.
And this person was not nice, and you went to get up, and James put his hand on you.
He goes, I got this.
Uh-oh.
Uh oh.
I'm like the quiet man has risen.
I'm like, this is it.
It's over.
And this person went back to their table, and James very quietly went over and he's like the brother that I never had.
Well, if you took a breath, I might be able to have a conversation.
Where did I learn this from?
I don't know.
