And I'm Ted Cruz.

We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people I was making a podcast about Benghazi, nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And that can only mean one thing on this program.
All things self-proclaimed Simple Man, Bill O'Reilly, allthingsO'Reilly at billo'reilly.com.
So you're going to be surprised, Mr. O'Reilly, at this one thing.
I read your Bill O'Reilly message of the day on betrayal today.
Thank you.
Okay, and by the way, it was well written.
I give you a lot of credit.
Well thought out.
Here's what I want to ask you about.
In light of what we now know from the Biden Energy Department, everything that anybody with common sense knew already, that the coronavirus was in fact manufactured in the Wuhan Virology Lab, where they were known to study coronaviruses and known for research on gain of function.
And then I started thinking, you know, the mob, the media, you know, many people in politics, they knowingly lied to us because that made the most sense.
The wet market, you know, theory that people were putting out there, it didn't make any sense, especially, you know, now that we know the emails exist with Fauci NIH members.
But here's my question.
Then I started thinking about the media in this country.
They lied to us about the Wuhan lab.
They lied to us for three years that Donald Trump colluded with Russia.
They used a Hillary Clinton bought and paid for dossier to spy on a presidential candidate and a president.
There's so many other Trump issues they lied about.
Remember Freddie Gray in Baltimore.
I had contacts told me from day one, not one of those cops would be convicted.
I was right.
I was told by people I knew, my contacts on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri, that there were multiple African-American eyewitnesses that will back up the police officer's story that he was charged at and that the confrontation began with Michael Brown and hands up, don't shoot never happened.
But the media went with it.
They went with the Duke La Crosse lie.
I went out to Garden City, Long Island, and met with the families, and I got a very different story.
They lied about UVA.
They lied about Trayvon Martin.
I went down and interviewed George Zimmerman and other people, and I began to realize it's not what the media is telling us.
Now, I'm not patting myself on the back or patting you on the back because usually you and I are on the same page on most issues, not all, but most.
But they get it wrong all the time, Bill.
That's a betrayal to fit into your message of the day.
Okay, but you have to delineate between the government, the federal government, and the corporate media pundits.
So the federal government has a responsibility to tell the American people the truth about important situations like COVID.
It has abdicated that responsibility, I would say now, for the last decade.
But remember, you'll get the media to tell you that Bush Cheney fabricated Iraq information to get us into that war.
Just keep that in mind, that the left wing purports that to be true.
Now, I talked to Colin Powell himself about it, and he was the Secretary of State at the time, and he was on board with going in and removing Saddam.
But anyway, the responsibility of the federal government is absolutely to tell the truth, and if you don't know the truth, to say that.
That's gone, and that's dangerous.
So a guy like Fauci comes out, he talks through the cliché is his hat.
He talks through his hat.
So he doesn't know how COVID came into the general population, but he says it wasn't a leak in the Wuham lab.
And it turns out that Fauci misled the entire world.
By the way, we have the email evidence now, Bill.
He knew from the beginning.
And by the way, his first interview in March of 2020, he said, masks don't work.
Now we learn last week that masks didn't have any impact at all in preventing COVID transmission.
Yeah, you just misspoke a little.
He said that masks do work, and now we know by this one study, most of them don't work.
But the Fauci COVID thing is inexcusable.
Inexcusable.
Now, remember, Trump hired Fauci.
All right, he was on Trump's staff, and then he stayed when Biden came in.
But that man, you can't arrest him, and he's out now, but you can shame him.
And I think a congressional committee should.
You can't shame people that have no shame.
Well, I think in his case, the American people should know that the leading health person misled the country.
So let me take it a step further and let me go back to your message of the day on betrayal.
All right, but wait, wait.
All right, go ahead.
The pundits, because there's a difference between the government and the pundits.
So the pundits now, and this is a change from when you and I started at the Fox News Channel 25 years ago.
This is a change.
They now hire people, the corporations do, who will echo the corporate philosophy.
Jeff Zucker, the best example of that at CNN.
Zucker destroyed the network because the network was built on we cover the news accurately.
One man destroyed it, and he hired people who would do what he told them to do for money.
And that was caught on tape by Project Veritas, but continue.
Right.
MSNBC is the same thing, and NBC News should be ashamed of itself.
Again, they don't have shame, Bill.
All right, and I agree with that.
But they hire people who are activists, activists, not journalists, not analysts, activists, because they know that their audience is 100% far left.
And they're going to feed the audience that stuff every night.
And there are just droves of people who will say what they are told to say for money.
And that's just a fact.
Let me then go back to your message of the day, and you've opened up a whole new can of worms.
And I agree with you generally that there is a distinction in terms of what the government feeds you.
You know, I watched the interview with Christopher Wright and Brett Baer, and he just lied through his teeth.
And these are provable lies that he was telling last night, or he dodged and ducked and weaved and didn't want to answer them.
But you've opened up a can of worms here because we've now gotten to the point I would argue, and you can correct me if you think I'm wrong, is that for the most part, the Democratic Party, the liberal left agenda, the climate alarmist cultists, and the media mob are one.
They think alike, they support each other and their worldview, and as evidenced, for example, by the Hunter Biden laptop.
I mean, that would have had a profound impact on the 2020 election.
The FBI had that laptop in December of 2019.
The FBI used agents to speak to big tech companies weekly, warning them that they might be victims of misinformation campaigns.
Oh, and it might be about Joe Biden.
It might be about Hunter Biden.
So anything they read about Hunter or Joe, they had already been primed not to believe it.
But it's not that one instance.
It's about masks.
It's about the Wuhan lab.
It's about Russia collusion, all the other Trump attacks that proved to be false.
Freddie Gray, Ferguson, Missouri, Duke LaCrosse, UVA, George Zimmerman, Trayvon Martin.
They've gotten it all wrong together, Bill.
And I will pat myself on the back.
Because you're not going to do it.
I was right on all these issues.
There's no accountability for those people to get it wrong.
And when you have no accountability, then what does it matter?
But it got to be on steroids once Trump was elected in 16.
See, 16 was really the collapse of the American media.
The American media collapsed after Trump got elected because the corporations were so they were caught by surprise.
They thought Hillary Clinton would win.
Trump gets in.
They hate him personally and they hate his politics.
And the orders went out.
And you can read the New York Times orders.
No longer are we going to cover the news in a fair, objective manner.
He's so dangerous, we're going to do everything we can to take him out.
And that led to the Russian collusion.
It permeated the FBI, which is much more important than that.
Bill, Bill, they got two Pulitzer Prizes off of phony stories, Bill.
What the Pulitzer Prize organization is.
Now we know.
Yeah.
All right.
So the corruption is always a point in history, Hannity.
Always a flashpoint where corruption surges.
And it's happened ever since George Washington.
And then it goes down a bit when the so-called reformers like Teddy Roosevelt come in.
But the flashpoint for our current corrupt country in media and government is the election of Donald Trump.
That's when it all fell apart.
All right, quick break more with simple man Bill O'Reilly, allthings O'Reilly at BillO'Reilly.com.
And we'll get to your calls and so much more as we continue.
Exposing, uncovering, unpacking the lies of the left every day.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, we continue with Bill O'Reilly, allthings O'Reilly at BillO'Rileilly.com.
So we now have two presidential elections in a row where we know that the FBI put their thumb heavily on the scale in support of the Democratic candidate.
Well, in the 2020 election, the FBI wasn't as blatant as the 16 election.
Wait a minute, Bill.
They were meeting weekly with big tech.
Okay, but we don't know what those meet.
Look.
No, we actually do because the head of site integrity at Twitter in a case in Missouri, then Attorney General of Missouri Eric Schmidt, under oath, this guy said they were meeting weekly with the FBI.
The FBI was giving them specific warnings that they'll be subject to misinformation campaigns, including subjects like Hunter and Joe Biden.
That's true, but Ray said yesterday on Fox News, that's what the FBI believed, that they didn't contrive that.
They believed that.
But wait a minute.
But they knew, but they knew.
This is an important point.
The FBI had the laptop in December 2019.
That's 11 months before the election.
They could have corroborated that in 10 days maximum.
The FBI was specifically mentioning the name Hunter Biden.
They also knew that Rudy Giuliani had a copy, and they knew it was likely going to be leaked.
But they're telling big tech they're going to be subject to misinformation.
It comes out and they never said a word that it was a legitimate laptop, which it was.
They never do that.
But in this case, with the media now stonewalling the story, certainly the FBI should have updated the American people that they were taking the laptop seriously.
That's all they had to do.
All the FBI had to do, they didn't have to intrude on any of the, because Ray always falls back, as you said, on the same thing.
Oh, I can't comment.
It's under investigation.
That's BS.
There's no rule in the federal government you can't comment.
You can say, we have an active investigation.
We're taking the.
Okay, let me add one last piece of the puzzle.
Right.
The lead FBI agent in 2016 wrote his thesis on how Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win the 2016 election.
He was the lead agent on the big tech outreach.
Yeah, that doesn't look good, does it?
Bill, what I'm saying, so my point is it stays the same.
They have put their thumb on the scales to benefit Democratic candidates.
Is it going to happen in 2024, Bill?
Well, that's up to the congressional committees that are now under the control of the Republicans.
See, look, the only way this gets fixed is if Congress starts to say, this person, that person, this person did X, Y, and Z, so everybody in the country knows it.
And that's the only way it gets fixed.
So now you have the evidence, I have the evidence.
You would assume the congressional committees have the evidence.
So they have to start putting it out and they have to start saying we can't have a duplication of this in 24.
This can't happen.
You know, no matter how consistent people like you and I are, how often we get things right, and that we will never get credit, Mr. O'Reilly.
That also is a betrayal.
Listen, last word.
The folks give us credit.
And that's the most important thing.
You know what?
That's a great answer.
And thank God for the folks, or you and I wouldn't have a microphone and a camera every day.
You bet.
All right, my friend.
Thank you.

So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Before we get to your calls, let me go back to, you know, it wasn't an accident that Christopher Wray spoke to Brett Baer yesterday, and Merrick Garland was on the hill getting grilled earlier today.
And he just, he just sounded stupid.
Let me give you an example of stupid.
Now, he is the Attorney General of the United States.
Now, what a lot of people don't know is the DOJ and the FBI are part of Joe Biden's executive branch of government.
You know, I think this is what frustrated Donald Trump in all the years.
He always thought that this was his Attorney General.
You know, you're going to be my guy, he said to Comey.
Now, he said that coming from outside the Washington swamp and not knowing that, you know, there has to be independence, et cetera.
Merrick Garland knows with five plus million people entering the country in two years under Joe Biden that every one of those people broke our laws, didn't respect our borders, didn't respect our sovereignty.
And the fentanyl crisis and the opioid crisis in large part is because those borders are wide open.
You know, the fentanyl made in China makes its way to the southern border, makes its way to every small town and big city in America.
The same thing with heroin, the same thing with cocaine, the same thing with methamphetamine.
It's all coming through the southern border.
Listen to what Merrick Garland says about the fentanyl crisis.
Fentanyl deaths are more than gun and accident deaths combined in the United States.
Did you know that?
Yes, sir.
I mean, this is, how would you describe the fentanyl problem in America?
It's a horrible epidemic, but it's an epidemic that's been unleashed on purpose by the Senate law and the new generation of Jalisco Carkells.
And why aren't you as Attorney General enforcing the laws of this country and securing our borders and telling people when they enter the country illegally to leave?
Why are you not telling states and cities they believable?
Then Merrick Garland earlier today claims the DOJ has prosecuted more pro-life protesters over the pro-abortion.
Some of them are lunatics.
We've had all these threats against anti-abortion clinics or pro-life clinics around the country.
And his answer is, oh, well, the reason is, is because more pro-life protesters, their actions are during the day.
Oh, the FBI, you know, does more work in the daytime, not nighttime?
Listen.
I will say you are quite right.
There are many more prosecutions with respect to the blocking of the abortion centers, but that is generally because those actions are taken with photography at the time, during the daylight, and seeing the person who did it is quite easy.
Those who are attacking the pregnancy resources centers, which is a horrid thing to do, are doing this at night in the dark.
We have put full resources on this.
We have asked, put rewards out for this.
We're prosecuting more pro-life protesters because their actions take place during the day, and we're home eating at night, and we're taking the night off.
I can't believe he's saying that and getting away with it.
Then he was asked about Hunter Biden.
Now, remember, the DOJ, the FBI has had Hunter Biden's laptop since December of 2019.
They could have verified it was authentic.
They could have done it way early in the 2020 election cycle, which they had every business to do.
But no, the FBI, under the DOJ's leadership, they went around.
They had an FBI SWAT team, if you will, speaking weekly with every big tech company, warning them that they're going to be victims of some foreign disinformation campaign.
And it may be about Joe Biden, and it may be about Hunter Biden.
They also know and knew that Rudy Giuliani had a copy, meaning they knew it was going to be released, likely leaked, and it was, and yet they did nothing, and they still do nothing to Hunter.
Listen.
So as the committee well knows from my confirmation hearing, I promised to leave the manner of Hunter Biden in the hands of the U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware who was appointed in the previous administration.
So any information like that should have gone or should or should have gone to that U.S. Attorney's offices and the FBI squad that's working with him.
I have pledged not to interfere with that investigation, and I have carried through on my pledge.
Between that and the interview with Christopher Wray last night with Brett Baird just makes my blood boil.
It really does.
All right, Frank is in North Carolina.
Frank doesn't make my blood boil.
How are you, Frank?
Glad you called.
Hey, I want to know about the accountability for Fauci, for Newsom, for Lightfoot, for Cuomo.
Who and how are they going to be held accountable for demanding we wear masks, that we get the shots, that we get the booster shots, and they were not only ineffective, but to some degree dangerous.
If we look at the athletes that are dropping off, dying repeatedly day after day, where's that accountability?
Well, there's an epidemic almost.
I don't know if I'd call it an epidemic.
Is a serious number increase in numbers of young people having heart attacks and myocarditis as a result of getting shots much earlier than they otherwise should or even getting them at all, considering they're not the people that were at risk, especially if they're young and they're healthy, etc.
Who's going to be accountable?
Nobody.
You want me to just lie to you and tell you somebody's going to be held accountable?
Nobody.
That's why I am telling the people.
The nail right on the head when he said that they're not going to be accountable and they're going to continue to do and take the actions and continue to lie like they have been.
What am I telling the people of East Palestine in Ohio?
Don't believe the government.
If the people that bought into Obamacare, keep your doctor, keep your plan.
The average family saves $2,500 a year ended up being a nightmare.
Millions and millions of Americans lost their doctors, their plans, and we're paying about 250% more on average.
And 40% of the country only has one Obamacare exchange option.
Thanks a lot.
But look, this is now standard fare.
This is what I was discussing with Bill O'Reilly.
They knew early on that the COVID-19 virus likely came from the Swuhan Virology Lab because we see the frantic emails with Fauci and other NIH officials.
He himself said masks don't work in his first interview.
It turns out we were lied to about that.
The one thing that was working, monoclonal antibodies, they took away emergency use authorization for that.
That is the only therapeutic that I can say with any certainty that was very effective.
You know, there are other cocktails that definitely help people.
I'm not a doctor.
I don't tell people what to do.
But look, think of they were wrong for three years.
They lied about Russia collusion.
Who got held accountable?
Nobody.
I mean, they're wrong all the time.
And we have a crisis of information.
Then they attack conservatives, and we usually end up being right.
And they just make up stories about me like on a regular basis.
If I read the crap that they and the lies that they told about me, I'd lose my mind.
I can't read this crap.
Anyway, I appreciate the call.
800-941-Sean, our number, if you want to be a part of the program.
Look, if you are a believer in the Second Amendment, as I am, you have a responsibility to be competent and confident in your shooting ability.
That's where our friends at Mantis X come in.
Now, you may not know this, but all the best shooters in the world do a majority of their training doing what's called dry fire practice at home.
And by the way, this is what we're talking about military technology that is military-grade technology at an affordable price.
It's used by the Marine Corps, the Army Special Forces.
It's an amazing system.
There's no ammo.
It's all electronic.
You can practice.
It's like you have your own shooting instructor next to you helping you become a marksman.
You attach it to your firearm.
It's simple to do.
And you get data-driven, real-time feedback on your shooting technique.
They guide you through drills and courses.
94% of shooters improve within 20 minutes are using Mantis X. Again, military-grade technology at a very affordable price.
Go to their website.
You're going to love it.
It's also fun.
MantisX.com.
That's M-A-N-T-I-S-X.com.
You're going to love this system.
All right, quick break, right back.
More of your phone calls coming up.
800-941-SHAWN, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
We check in with Senator Tom Cotton at the top of the hour as we continue.
Final roundup and information overload.
Hi, back to our busy phones.
Joseph San Diego, Kogo Radio.
What's up, Joseph?
How are you?
Hey, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
I just can't understand why we just can't call it the way it is.
You know, why can't we just say the emperor doesn't have any clothes on?
And by this, I mean that Joe Biden's not running the show.
He hasn't run the show since day one.
I think I was a little ahead of the curve on this.
And remember, I talked about Sippy Cup and this guy doesn't know what day of the week it is and he's weak and he's frail and a cognitive mess.
You might not remember, but I took a lot of heat for saying it early.
Yeah.
But, you know, we elect one man to run the show, regardless if we like him or not.
And but, you know, the thing is, is that there are a select group of people that are running the show right now, and they're the ones that are destroying this country.
You know, we're, we, you know, who leaves $6 billion worth of military hardware to our enemy and allows millions to come into our country?
Inflation and everything else is going on.
But everybody wants to blame Joe Biden.
Why are we blaming Joe Biden?
Joe Biden has nothing to do with this thing.
He's an old man who's sitting there being probably bullied by the people that are taking charge.
You know, who are they?
Are they the Obamas?
Are they the Clintons?
But some rich people out there running Joe and telling him exactly what to do.
And who's investigating this?
You know, you got all these talking heads that come on your show.
You got these senators and congressmen.
What are we supposed to do?
Because the only option I see is to do to Joe Biden in November of 2024 what Chicago did to Lori Lightweight yesterday, and that's fire her.
That's the only option that's available.
I could sit here and tell you they can impeach him, they can do this, they can do that.
They're not going to impeach him and get a conviction.
It's not going to happen.
Okay.
But this is my second point here I want to make real quick.
Okay.
It's not going to happen because you have a corrupt media, which is something that you've talked about in the past.
But everybody should know that when an opposing army takes over a country, a civil war ensues, or a dictator, the first thing that they do is they take over the media because they need to control the narrative.
And the Democratic Party has hijacked the media.
And until the media is allowed to do what they're supposed to be doing, we will never have another free election and the country's going to be destroyed.
The only thing I can say is there are not many of us.
I mean, I can name a lot of names, but compared to the mainstream media, ABC, NBC, CBS, Fake News, CNN, MSDNC, the New York Times, The Washington Post, almost every major newspaper in the country.
If it wasn't for Tog Radio and some podcasting, and if it wasn't for Fox News, we wouldn't get this information.
You know, my entire career, just so you know, and I'm not complaining, I'm very grateful that you watch the TV show and listen to this radio show.
But for almost all of my career, there are people that are paid to listen to this show that sit in their underwear and take copious notes, record every word I say in the hopes that they can get me fired or boycotted or canceled.
That's the reality I live under.
Now, it sounds like I'm whining if I talked about it every day.
There's no need for you to hear it every day, but that's the reality I live under.
And I'm the guy that says, don't fire Joy Reed.
I'm the guy that said, don't fire Don Lemon.
I'm the guy that said, don't fire Bill Maher.
I'm the guy that said, don't fire or cancel anybody.
I've never supported a boycott.
I don't support cancellations.
I believe people should have an opportunity to revise and extend their remarks, apologize if they feel it sincerely, and be given a second chance if they want one.
I mean, I'm just not that person.
I believe in liberty and I believe in freedom.
And, you know, the untold truth about all these shows, including my own, is I can't make you listen three hours a day.
I can only do a good enough show, hopefully that you'll want to listen.
I can only produce a good enough TV show every night in the hopes that you'll want to watch the show.
You don't have to watch.
You don't have to listen to any of these people.
And guess what?
I don't watch these people.
I don't listen to these people because I know I'm being lied to.
I'll give you the last 20 seconds.
All right.
But you understand that the masses are not.
You're preaching to the choir, but the masses are your church people or the church people.
And they're the ones that are listening to the mainstream media.
The only way that we're going to resolve this and fix things is actually people go out and protest the media.
You want to laugh at something?
They've done studies on this.
More liberals watch my TV show and listen to my radio show than watch either CNN or MSDNC.
Does that shock you?
It does, but still, the masses are still hearing it from the mainstream media.
Yeah, I mean, but we're not just preaching to the choir.
Now, they'll tell you, there are people that hate listen and hate watch.
And I don't care if they're hating me listening and I don't care if they're hating watching me.
As long as, you know, I get credit for the viewership and listenership, I'm fine.
Then I can stay in business and keep doing what I love and be an alternative voice that we need, I believe, as many voices as possible.
Anyway, listen, I had a good time talking to you, Joseph.
God bless you, my friend.
And I love San Diego.
It's beautiful out there.

What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries, this is Fiasco, Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
