Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Normally, you'd hear me on 710 W-O-R, the big number one talk station in New York.
Sean will be back with us right now, Lou Dobbs.
Now, here's the smartest voice around.
And by the way, if you're not listening to Lou Dobbs' new podcast, make sure you listen to this, The Great America Show.
Wherever you get your podcast, just type in Lou Dobbs and The Great America Show will come up.
Make sure you listen to it.
Lou Dobbs, how you doing?
Well, I'm doing great, Mark.
Thanks so much.
Hey, every time there's a major crisis, Joe Biden makes a minute and a half speech and thinks problem solved.
So he made this speech about the oil gas problem.
He's going to release a gallon and a half or something from the reserve.
What is this going to do?
Well, it's not going to do much.
And, you know, like you, I would guess that he doesn't know where the strategic petroleum reserves actually are located or what they really hold.
But one thing, no one did much math with the president because even he could understand that 50 million barrels of oil last this country.
I mean, are you ready for the big solution, the tsunami of problem solving here?
That's two and a half days of U.S. consumption.
It was going to have what we would call technically a negligible impact.
Well, but, you know, with the supply chain crisis, he went to that port in Baltimore and made a speech for 90 seconds.
And again, problem solved.
What goes through his head?
Does he know this is not going to do anything?
I have to, you know, it's hard.
Certainly I'm the wrong person to ask what he knows and what he doesn't.
I would just say this.
The president seems to know far less than he knows.
And this is just not a solution.
And whoever is suggesting these stratagems for this president is not doing a very good job for him.
And in turn, his poll numbers are, you know, he's down now to 36%, as you well know.
Nothing he is doing is turning out correct.
It's really time for him to perhaps take one or two additional days leave to his home in Delaware because it's not working in the nation's capital.
Okay, he doesn't know where he is.
He's bumping into walls.
But the wife seems kind of alert.
Why doesn't she say to him, you got to get some better advisors?
I have to believe that she may feel that it wouldn't be helpful.
He is obviously dependent upon her to get across any room that he happens to be in.
And I don't know what her limits are or her possibilities are.
But right now, she is a very important person in the nation because she is guiding the man who is supposed to be leading the nation.
And Lou Dobbs, if you screw up the supply of oil and the price of oil, what is that?
That's not just gas at the pump.
That ripples out into all sorts of costs, doesn't it?
It absolutely does.
And we are now watching the president of the United States beg as few presidents, whether Nixon or Carter were begging before him.
But begging OPEC doesn't look good.
And the impact of that is, frankly, more diminishment in the eyes of world leaders about the, you know, as they look at this president, they have to wonder what in the world were Americans doing on November 3rd, 2020, to elect such a man.
We are the laughingstock of the nation.
I remember people talking about when Donald Trump, they were concerned about his mean tweets, of course, and they were so concerned about him offending people's feelings, whether it be in Germany or France or Sri Lanka.
This president is really reduced to making the nation look like a complete gathering of fools.
And perhaps we are.
Perhaps we are, Mark.
Maybe we just have to recognize who we are.
Well, make sure you listen to Lou Dobbs' new podcast.
It's called The Great America Show, Lou Dobbs Podcast, wherever you get podcasts.
Now, listen, I understand it was very difficult to invent the iPhone or landing on the moon was complicated, but unloading ships, just taking the crates off a ship and putting them on a truck.
How did this get to be a problem nobody could solve?
It got to be a problem because we decided to go after Huawei, as you remember.
When those sanctions finally bit this year, the Chinese retaliated and started having logistical problems.
The fact is that we are also watching the ports, particularly of Long Beach and on the West Coast, Long Beach, California, the most important Asian shipping point for Asian goods.
They have been slow and very, very slow to react.
And the fact of the matter is, the Chinese are, in my judgment, making it very clear that we are dependent upon them without doing anything with the pharmaceuticals, which, of course, we're dependent for 97% of those pharmaceuticals.
We're dependent upon China and all of Asia for 100% of our clothing.
They're sending a very loud signal that the United States, no matter how rambunctious we want to get, if they throw the spigot, we are out of luck.
And it's a very big lesson for this president.
Lou Dobbs, I remember you wrote some great books about this whole problem of just outsourcing everything.
Now, and you said stuff like this, all of our serious medicine that we need is made in China, vital stuff.
How did we ever get in a situation like this?
Well, our geniuses who run corporate America, big business, U.S. multinationals, the Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable, all of them decided, got together with Wall Street and decided what a good idea it would be to find cheap foreign labor markets and send the jobs, middle-class jobs, to those markets and save a lot of money.
They didn't care who they hurt, and they hurt millions of Americans, and they didn't care what the result was, and they hollowed out our factories and our production facilities all across this country, as you well know.
And at the same time, put together a trillion-dollar foundation for the development of the world's largest communist nation, the People's Republic of China.
Stunning stupidity and mindlessness for which we are still paying a very high price, and the price may go up.
And that same group and all the globalists, they're the ones that want the border wide open because that's cheap labor in this country, right?
Surely.
They want that border open so that sex traffickers, human smugglers, drug smugglers can continue to do business.
And we've had people concerned about gun safety, and rightly so.
That's appropriate.
But the fact is, we have 100,000 people dying in this country as a result of the fentanyl, the heroin, the methamphetamines that cross that border every year.
100,000 Americans died in the past year, Mark, and there's not a peep.
We have demonstrations on the streets of Kenosha, Wisconsin, but we don't have a single peep coming out of the White House or Capitol Hill about the mindless loss of life and what that means to the country's future when we lose those predominantly young people who never get to fulfill their destinies.
But Democrats always go too far.
And these woke progressives that defund the police now, I'm watching MSNBC today.
I don't know why, but it's the guest.
You're stuck mad, Mark.
But the guest, whatever wacky congressman, close the federal prison, must close all federal prisons.
And the anchor is nodding as if this is in that particular world that they've created for themselves at MSNBC and, of course, in the Democratic caucus on Capitol Hill.
All of that makes great internal sense because it's not tested by reality.
There is no certain challenge by logic.
These people are out of their minds.
There was a great report today that ABC News in San Francisco had talked to some experts on language and where they were doing these smash and grabs, as you know, in San Francisco.
They said you must be careful.
It was a caution, they said.
Don't use the word looting.
And I'm sitting there trying to figure out who would be offended by looters except the looters.
And if it's a looter, why would you care?
What do you want to be called?
A pillager?
A plunderer?
What name would you like us to apply?
This is the world the left lives in, and it's the world they want us to join.
And most of us are pretty reluctant to do that.
Well, I wouldn't call them looters.
I would call them undocumented shoppers.
That would work perfectly.
It's done so much for immigration, right?
But you understand this country.
In between Beverly Hills and Manhattan, there's a whole country.
Don't they look at this looting and no police and say this has got to stop?
I think that is exactly what they're saying.
When 70% of the country says this country is headed in the wrong direction, and they've made that determination when a president has been in office just about 10 months, when they're making that determination, they're also judging the president, and his approval rating has plummeted to 36%.
And the only comfort I can see for President Biden anywhere is Kamala Harris, who has an even lower approval rating, an incredible 28%.
It's stunning stuff, this world that was created on November 3rd.
So, like a lot of people, I thought there was a mastermind behind this Obama thing, somebody running things, pulling the strings.
Maybe Obama, maybe some George Soros type.
I now believe there's no mastermind at all.
It's just these idiots.
Well, I'm like you.
If you can find a mastermind, I'd sure like to meet the person because If this is the mastermind that speaks poorly of the IQs for the rest of us, this is a disastrous, disastrous path that we're on.
And to think that it was orchestrated by a mastermind.
The only one I could think of who would likely qualify would be Barack Obama because he had the great judgment and foresight to put Joe Biden in as his vice president, which was obviously the greatest political insurance policy any president could ever put together until Joe Biden selects Kamala Harris.
Now, that is legacy upon legacy of great political judgment.
So, what do you think really happened?
The business roundtable, the Chamber of Commerce, the tech, every big, powerful force said, let's just get a moron, put him in, he'll do what we tell him.
I think that they have done, if that was not their plan, it's worked splendidly either way.
And his natural affection and, if you will, obsequiousness toward Xi Jinping works perfectly for Wall Street and corporate America, the U.S. multinationals, because they want to be as they want to defer as much as possible to China because that market is so much larger than ours that they obviously have given priority to China rather than to the home nation,
poor little America, and our quaint provincial views about liberty, personal freedom, capitalist economics, and, of course, a heritage of opportunity and equality for all.
Not to put too fine a point on it.
China wins that one big.
Well, if you want to hear more, listen to Lou Dobbs.

Government's got problems.
He's got solutions.
listens to the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, it's the Sean Hannity Show.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean 1-800-941 Trunk.
Hey, let me give out the White House number.
Why do you have this White House number here?
It's very subtle.
We just ask our audience, and they're wonderful people, to be polite and respectful and to call Joe and remind him where he is first.
Be very polite.
Joe, you're in the White House.
Some people think you're the president, just so you know, you are.
And this is how we feel about your defamation against Kyle Rittenhouse.
And we think you should be sued.
Call the White House, 202-456-1111.
That's the White House number.
Say it again for good measure.
Linda Singh, it's 2021.
I'm just saying.
They could look up the number of the White House.
Maybe they can.
Maybe, you know, I don't know.
202-456-1111.
It's a thing of beauty when you say it.
Somebody will answer and say, White House, good afternoon.
And then you say, it's not free.
What you should say is, what do you say?
Is Joe Biden in?
Where's he going to be?
He's going to leave.
Does Joe live there?
No.
Is Joe home?
No, no band.
Be respectful.
Be respectful.
Hello, I would like to make a comment in regards to POTUS and his defamation against an innocent citizen who has been eradicated of all charges following our justice system's due process.
And this is going to accomplish what?
I think it'll be very annoying to them at the very least, which to me is something.
Go ahead.
They got nothing else to do over there.
Come on.
Oh, let's take this call.
Jerry from Kingsville, Maryland.
Jerry has been hanging on two hours and 12 minutes?
What kind of nut would hang on two hours?
Jerry, good to hear from you.
How are you?
I got to be nuts.
Yeah, what the hell?
Oh, I hear music.
This story about Brian has me intrigued.
They discovered the remains and his possessions over a month ago.
They did an initial autopsy, but it was inconclusive.
Somehow, the hole in the head and or the bullet in the skull wasn't good enough for them.
And that 30 days later, they can say, yes, we say he committed suicide.
All right.
That's a brilliant point.
I'm glad you hung on.
What the hell did he say?
No, that was brilliant.
Jerry, call again.
Oh, when we come back.
Now, this January 6th Commission, this is the fakest, phoniest thing ever.
Some breaking news coming up about the commission.
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 Podcast, or wherever you listen.

Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
So this January 6th Commission, which is every just horrible person in Washington from Liz Cheney to just an awful commission.
They're trying to criminalize anybody supporting Trump.
And the subpoenas are flying out for everybody.
How does Bernie Carrick get on this list?
Well, according to the Bob Woodward book, he was having a secret meeting in Washington the day before January 6th.
Well, let's turn to John Solomon, the great reporter, editor-in-chief of justthenews.com.
John Solomon, how you doing?
I'm good.
God to be with you.
Bernie Carrick, how does he get a subpoena?
Well, listen, by the time they're done, Democrats say they're against AR-15s, except when it comes to subpoenas.
They shoot them everywhere.
They're hitting everybody.
So here's what we learned.
Two weeks ago, they dropped a subpoena on Bernie Carrick.
And normally, the goal of a congressional committee with a subpoena is just to neutrally ask for evidence.
Give me the evidence and we'll check it out.
Here, they decided they were going to use it, politicize it, and make an allegation in the request for the subpoena.
You don't normally see that here.
So they make a very specific allegation.
Bernie Carrick, we're subpoenaing you because you attended a meeting on January 5th at the Willard Hotel the day before the riots, and we believe you were plotting with other people to overthrow the election results.
And they actually attribute the information.
They attribute it to Bob Woodward's new book, Out Peril.
There's only two problems with the allegation that they made in that.
First off, Bernie Carrick was not in Washington, D.C.
He was 300 miles away in New York City.
We have his toll booth and cell phone ping records.
He left on the 4th, didn't come back to the 6th.
But here's a bigger problem.
They attributed it to Bob Woodward's book.
I read the entire book.
I called Bob Woodward.
I interviewed him.
Bob Woodward does not make an allegation in his book that Bernie Carrick was at any meeting on the 5th, attended anything.
In fact, Bernie Carrick's name doesn't show up in the book.
The Democrats made up this allegation whole cloth.
How could you make such a glaring mistake?
How could you not think you'd get caught?
We've been asking for 24 and 48 hours, but I guess, hey, if Christopher Steele could get away for it for two or three or four years, maybe they're trying something new.
No one in the media dare challenge us.
We were the first people to start asking questions about it.
And Bob Woodward didn't even know that he was being blamed for the allegation in the subpoena.
When I called him, he's like, I don't know what you're talking about.
Somebody made a really bad mistake.
Someone made up something.
There is no explanation.
We understand that there's been an exchange of letters today between the committee and Bernie Carrick's lawyers.
We're trying to get our hands on that.
And as soon as we have that, we'll break that news out.
Well, and this idiotic commission, the other subpoenas are the Roger Stone, the Proud Boys, the OSP.
Where do they expect to go with all this?
What do they expect to get out of this?
You know, it's unclear what their strategy is.
Sometimes it looks like the subpoena is the only news that they can generate.
Oh, we did something on process today.
But, you know, at the end of the day, I think what Americans really want to know and what the value of this commission could have been was just like after 9-11, how did the Capitol get breached and how can we make sure it never happens again?
But none of those people are really in the focal point of these subpoenas or in the investigation.
Everything is, who can we shame Donald Trump with today?
Who can we try to tie to Donald Trump on this?
And, you know, Bernie Carrick says, I don't know anything that went on in the Capitol.
I wasn't in the Capitol.
But, you know, he gets subpoenaed.
I think it's very frustrating for everyday Americans to see their taxpayers money wasted on this and not get the thing that really would matter, which is how can we better protect the Capitol so it never happens again.
You know, about two months ago, it didn't get reported much, but on a Friday night, the FBI released the official report and they found there was absolutely no coordination of anything for the January 6th riot.
Shouldn't that be a spontaneous riot, which should trouble us that something so spontaneous overran the Capitol, which we've given tens of millions of dollars of security to a year.
There's a real public interest issue here.
It's not the one that the Democrats and Lynn Cheney are trying to give the American public.
Now, has there ever been anything in history where you have a videotape of every second of everything that happened?
You could just run the whole riot on video.
What is there to investigate?
We can see what happened.
Yeah, and listen, and there's some interesting questions that Republicans have asked, you know, really fossil Republicans like Devin Nunes.
I'd like to know who smashed the windows, who smashed the windows, because that's what a lot of people in the building in some cases.
We can't get answers to really basic things like that.
Meanwhile, we're seeing the subpoenas and accusations and counteraccusations.
And sadly, the American people probably are not going to learn what they want out of this, and it'll just be another atom shift production that ultimately turns out to fizzle out like this subpoena.
Now, everybody involved, Nancy Pelosi, the Capitol, Capitol Police, they knew, right, that there was a massive demonstration involving hundreds of thousands of people coming.
That was known.
That's right.
So you had time to prepare.
But preparation, as any expert would tell you, first thing you do is you set up a perimeter, usually a block, sometimes two blocks away, that can't be crossed.
We use National Guard, use police cars, whatever.
There was no perimeter.
There was nothing.
No, listen, there was, and here's an amazing thing.
Remember the storyline that the first round of the January 6th Commission hearings gave us.
Donald Trump could have sent us the National Guard troops on January 6th, but he intentionally held it back and left all of us in jeopardy, quaking under our desks.
There's only one problem.
Now, six months or five months after that claim, the Inspector General of the Pentagon came out and said, Donald Trump's team moved with lightning speed.
They did it within seconds.
And oh, by the way, Donald Trump's team offered the committee of the Capitol and Nancy Pelosi's office and the House Sergeant access to the National Guard troops two days early.
So another storyline of the Democrats, everything has been designed to throw the blame on Donald Trump and deflect away from the mayor of the Capitol.
The mayor of the Capitol isn't Donald Trump.
The mayor of the Capitol is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
She has done everything to make a hearing here that doesn't focus any attention on her decision-making.
And I think that's unfortunate to the American people.
Hey, another thing is we're talking to John Solomon.
You should check his website, justthenews.com.
John Solomon, the Justice Department has filed all 1,200 charges against the 435 people they've arrested.
There's nobody being charged with insurrection.
It's disorderly conduct, unlawful entry.
That's it.
It's official, right?
There was no insurrection.
And yet, over and time again, the media continues to call it an insurrection.
I think it's a travesty of my profession that they continue to misuse words like that.
Was it a riot?
It looked a lot like the summer protests, you know, and we didn't call those insurrections, right?
We didn't call Code Pink when they interrupted hearings during the various hearings over the years or the people who interrupted the Kavanaugh hearings.
We didn't call them insurrectionists, though they did interrupt a congressional proceeding.
This wasn't an insurrection by legal definition or even Webster's definition.
Somebody in the Democratic machinery came up with that concept and fed it to the media.
And just like the drones that they've been since Russia collusion, they went out with it and everybody started using it, including, I think in some cases, Fox News.
It just doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't meet the definition of what happened.
If you wanted to have an insurrection, it wouldn't be taking over.
You could take the whole Capitol building, seize it, and never give it back.
And that wouldn't change anything.
Congress would just meet the next day somewhere else.
It doesn't seem even when they do meet, they get a lot done, right?
So, I mean, that's one of the frustrations of the American people.
But listen, a lot of people made bad decisions that day.
They deserve the accountability that they've gotten.
But exponentially it wasn't is the game that Democrats have played since Russia collusion in the summer of 2016.
They just keep making up stories.
Ukraine, Lafayette Square, Russia bounties.
Hey, Kyle Rittenhouse, until his trial, was a white supremacist who shot his gun 60 times without any provocation.
You find they didn't fire it 60 times.
He wasn't a white supremacist.
And, oh, someone pointed a gun at him first.
The media has become a laughing stock in the American public's conscience because they know how many times now we've gotten it wrong.
So you got 535 riots, far more violent, many of them far more violent last year.
How many people have been arrested or thrown in jail for that?
Nobody.
Well, there's been dozens.
There's also been a lot of people whose charges have been dropped.
Remember, our vice president and her team was raising money to bail out the very people who were destroying the city of Minneapolis after the George Floyd protest began.
The double standard, the hypocrisy is beyond even words I can find in the dictionary.
And yet the media just keeps going to this.
There was nothing wrong.
They were freedom fighters and racial justice fighters when it came to destroying cities last summer.
And then they're somehow insurrectionists on January 6th.
The American people are so smart.
You can't pull this over their eyes.
They know that there's a thumb on the scale of media coverage, and they've ignored it.
They don't take it seriously anymore.
That's why CNN is in such grave danger and losing its audience.
Hey, so Liz Cheney and this commissioner, are they like those Japanese soldiers?
They found them like three years after World War II who were still fighting, didn't know the war was over.
Is that what this is?
Liz Cheney might want to get home and fight the war back home because Harriet Hagerman is going to give her a run for money in that primary.
And, you know, I had Harriet Hagerman on one of my podcasts recently, and she has a very interesting line that I think is going to play in Wyoming, which is Liz Cheney is such a creature of Washington.
She didn't even want to be on the House Natural Resources Committee, which would benefit Wyoming.
She wanted to be on the Armed Services Committee so she could control bases in Virginia where she lives.
You're going to hear a lot of Liz Cheney is a swamp creature, and Harriet Hagerman is a true Wyoming worried about Wyoming.
Liz Cheney better stop worrying about January 6th and get back home because she's in deep trouble there.
Wow.
Well, it's a great site.
You should check this all the time, justthenews.com.
It's John Solomon's site, justthenews.com.
Great work as always.
John Solomon, thanks for being with us.
Thank you.
Have a happy Thanksgiving.
All right.
Take care.
This January 6th Commission will go on and on and on.
Liz Cheney's children will be sitting on this commission when they'll never end.
They'll never find anything.
Hey, we'll take some calls when we come back.
It's 800-941-Sean.
800-941-Sean.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Check out Hannity.com.
And of course, 9 o'clock, Fox News channel, Hannity Every Night.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Jamie, is this a long show?
No, you know.
I thought you were having a good time.
I'm having a great time.
You already put your coat on.
Oh, it was cold.
No, you know, I'm on 10 to noon every day.
That's two hours.
This is three hours.
I didn't realize that extra hour has gets to you after that.
It makes a difference.
Yeah.
So, well, let's take some calls.
Let's go to Steve in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Hey, Steve, welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, how you doing, man?
Thanks for having me, guys.
Thanks for calling up.
So I want to show my support for the Rittenhouse verdict.
Yeah.
And also, I posted on Facebook.
I said, you know, justice has been served.
How Rittenhouse found not guilty.
They banned my account for life.
They are crazy at that Facebook.
It happened to me.
Now, I have a, besides a profile, I have a Facebook page.
And I always check the analytics.
It used to do like 5 million views a month.
Now it does about 50,000 views a month.
Now, how do you think that happened?
Or take Twitter.
I kept gaining followers, and then all of a sudden it froze like at 173,000.
One day, I got retweeted twice in one day by the President of the United States, and I lost 100 followers.
Now, is that mathematically possible?
I don't think so.
And again, I always check the analytics.
I used to do 18 million impressions a month.
Yeah.
And now the last time I checked, it was like 1 million.
Now, how does that happen?
You know what's really sad that Steve makes a point is here's a guy, right?
Makes a post, makes a comment.
Everything is gone.
All his pictures, all his videos, they're gone.
Yeah.
He can't get them back.
Can't get them back.
Now, when I froze on Twitter, I thought, but I remember I was on Lou Dobbs.
I asked Lou Dobbs.
Same thing happened to him.
I asked every pro-Trump, everybody on the air.
Same thing happened to everybody at once.
The followers, everything just froze.
That's why I keep telling you, follow me on Instagram.
It's the only thing they don't fool around with.
And you have great pictures of food.
I got pictures of food.
Sunsets.
Sunsets.
Locations.
I have pictures of everything up there.
You're the guy.
Mark Simone NYC at Instagram.
And I'm going to go more food because I'm reading this article.
Bobby Flay, he couldn't come to a deal with the food network.
And he just re-signed $30 million.
New contract, Food Network.
Now, we come on here, we talk about inflation and politics and strategic oil, petroleum.
This guy makes a hamburger $30 million a year.
I don't think he's just making a hamburger.
Tell me what he does.
Oh, he makes a steak, too.
Listen, some people talk about politics and some people have an entertaining way of talking about politics.
You would be entertaining.
It's not just politics, right?
Okay.
This guy, he's been on 30 years.
Are you saying you want a cooking show, Mark?
Do you want a cooking show?
You know, I actually used to be on the food network the first year.
Yeah, I was.
I love if I forgot.
Are you serious?
Yeah, it was different the first year.
What were you making?
Well, I was on, they had talk shows back then.
But this Bobby Flay's been on 30 years.
That's what?
Like, let's say it's 3,000 shows.
Wouldn't you think he's cooked everything five times?
Listen, the good thing is, is nobody remembers from the first 15, so he's just going to do it over again.
Yeah, I mean, the hamburger is, and here's where you turn it over.
I don't care what they show you.
And they act like it's nothing.
Look how it easy.
It takes five minutes.
Meantime, every day they turn around.
There's the onions all chopped up in a little dish, and then there's everything else.
Somebody did like an hour and a half of prep work.
They don't tell you about it.
Actually, I have a really weird story.
One of the other women on that show, she spits all the food out in between the commercials so she doesn't gain any weight.
That person shall remain nameless.
Uh-oh.
Well, you said she.
Okay, that narrows it down.
Yeah, it's a little strange.
All right.
30 million.
Can you imagine this?
Just I could imagine.
Okay.
Like to have that.
