And I hope they don't make that mistake.
Thanks to that new poll from the Times, we already know he's struggling in even before this war.
Could this wall custom re-election?
Yes, it could.

Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Alright, news roundup and information overload hour.
Our toll free number is 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh I I gotta say I don't get shocked a lot, but everything seemingly out of Israel.
You know, I never thought we'd hear such hatred and and and and virulent anti-Semitism in the halls of Congress, see it in in our college campuses and universities, see it in London and see it in Australia and worldwide and you know, and the things that have been said and are being said just shock the conscience.
And you know, uh gas the Jews, F the Jews.
I mean, just unbelievable in front of the White House alahu Akbar.
Really?
Uh now we are discovering it's uh when I saw this last night, I at first I didn't want to believe it.
I didn't believe it, wasn't sure it was gonna be true.
Turns out a lot of this is true.
And that is that there were photographers.
Now it it's we we haven't fully been able to sort out who might have been employees of various news organizations, or maybe what they're called stringers or independents, and they go out in the field.
You know, they're in other words, freelancers, uh, that go out and take pictures and then sell them to media organizations.
Uh however, we do know in one case CNN has fired a Palestinian quote journalist after claiming that he was embedded with Hamas while the October 7th attack was happening.
They were there with Hamas, a terrorist group, to take pictures.
Uh, I don't think that this is a question of whether or not there's any moral ambiguity here.
Well, I have a job to do.
You have a job.
You're embedded with a terrorist group, and that you're gonna chronicle their crimes against humanity.
I don't think I want that job.
I think I'll pass.
I think I'll go I think I'll take pictures of birds and trees.
Anyways, Sarah Carter is with us.
She's an investigative journalist in her own right.
She's been to many, many war zones.
Um what you may not know is that Sarah, uh her husband, uh all was a you know was serving his country when it was severely injured.
You know, you're you're in a unique position because you've been there in many conflicts on the ground.
And and also your your husband, you know, was on the ground fighting and you read the story.
What are your thoughts?
Well, first, yeah, and I I don't mind sharing that.
My husband was blinded in Afghanistan, uh, permanently blinded.
Um, he almost lost his life in the battlefield fighting uh terrorists in eastern Afghanistan and um has since retired.
Uh, but he he continued to work uh for the United States and for the Department of Defense and uh after he was blinded um and and did so up until a few years ago.
I gotta tell you, I am a mortified Sean.
I'm like you.
I'm mortified.
I've spent a lot of time in the war zones.
I've seen the horrors of what it's like to watch our young men lose their lives on the battlefield.
I've seen the horrors of what war does to to all people, even to children.
But what happened on October 7th in Israel was a direct attack by a terrorist organization that could be described nothing less than demonic.
Uh these uh attackers went into the homes of innocent families.
Um I think everybody knows the horror stories, or at least they should know the horror stories about what happened to these families and to their babies and to their children and the hostages that are still there that may or may not be alive, the small children, and then you have, and I'm gonna go to my work as a journalist.
Um, you have these people that are I do not consider journalists, I do not consider photographers.
They knew what Hamas was doing.
Apparently, they were embedded with Hamas, which is a terrorist organization.
They did not wear vests, they did not wear helmets.
They went in, and in fact, the man that was fired by CNN and was let go by CNN, um, Hasan Islaya, um, he had taken uh photos um and was also seen, and he posted this allegedly to his own Facebook page.
Honest reporting was one of the first to break this story.
Um, and uh he was on a motorcycle with the grenade in his hand.
I've seen that video.
Is it a hundred percent him?
Do we know for a fact?
Is there any ambiguity on that story at all?
There there may be a little bit of ambiguity only because you see the back of his head and the side of his face.
Um it was uploaded to his Facebook page, though.
It apparently was uploaded to him to his Facebook page.
So there still needs to be some investigation into that.
Um let me ask you this, because I know that you you put on X yourself or Twitter, whatever people want to call it.
Uh you show one of the quote so-called photojournalists with one of Hamas's leaders, you know, that they're like kissing each other.
Uh I I mean, what does that say?
That says a lot.
Hassan Islayah is in a photo.
He's getting a big kiss from, you know, the leader of Hamas who planned this horrific attack against these innocent families.
Um, I have never been in Afghanistan, ever getting a hug or a kiss from any Taliban leader, even though I did interview Taliban sympathizers or people that were at Yah, you know, Shura's, uh, Yagi jur uh uh jurgas, which is like a tribal meeting when our troops would go meet with them.
I would sit down and I would do interviews.
Um, I would never have that kind of relationship with uh with those people um with terrorists.
Now, CNN, AP, Reuters, New York Times, whoever used these freelance journalists, I'm I'm very concerned about this because there is a process to hiring people.
I have worked with foreign correspondents.
I've worked with foreign journalists, both in Pakistan and in Afghanistan, and on the ground in Iraq.
And we have a vetting process.
We go through a vetting process when I was at the Washington Times or when I was working with John Solomon at CERCA.
We go through a vetting process.
That person has had to have worked for a number of years with a legitimate news agency.
Um they cannot just be any person that's running around with a camera in their hand in enemy territory because You could end up actually giving access to the enemy.
And if you know that a crime is going to be committed, Sean, like for example, even me as a journalist.
Let's say I got an interview or an exclusive with a terrorist, or somebody uh decides that they want to give me an interview while I'm overseas, and I find out on either our troops or on our nation or on a Western asset or on anyone for that matter.
It is incumbent upon me to report that immediately, to report the crime.
It's not incumbent upon me to keep that a secret and allow the crime to take place and then go out there and report on it.
You know, this is the crime that needs to be investigated.
These journalists, so-called journalists, so-called photographers, knew what was happening apparently before it took place.
And right now, even Prime Minister Netanyahu, I mean, is calling them out.
Uh CNN, as you well reported, has fired this person.
I would like to know what the associated press is going to do, what Reuters is going to do in the New York Times, and I would really like to know what their policy is.
Well, in this one case where you have this quote unquote, and I say this loosely, uh, photojournalists, freelance journalists, uh, kissing one of the leaders of Hamas, uh, both the AP and CNN used that footage on October 7th.
Now, I I want to be fair, they might not have known, and and the CNN did fire one individual.
I I've got to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Um, I think had any news organization known, I I can't imagine as as abusively corrupt and biased as they're well, maybe I'm wrong.
You know, I've heard some of these hosts on some of these other networks, and honestly, they sound like apologists for Hamas.
They do.
All of these, these, I guess, secret, virulent, hateful anti-Semites are coming out of the woodwork.
I am stunned by the number worldwide and the number in our own halls of Congress and in our college universities and the streets of New York, for example.
Another protest you're going to be covering for us tonight.
By the way, not a safe assignment, Sarah.
No, not a safe assignment, but nothing I've ever done in my careers, in my career and over the time span of my career has ever been has ever been safe because I believe in bringing the story to the American.
No, we applaud you for it.
We send as much security as we can, um, but still it's not safe.
No, it's not.
And you brought up a really great point, Sean, and you're absolutely right.
I've known you for a long time.
You've never used those terms.
You don't we don't like to use those terms.
It's a horrific part of our human history, but we want people to remember what happened.
And I gotta tell you what is so astonishing.
This is the first time it's been warranted.
That's even more important.
This is the first time that I can say with with a hundred thousand percent certainty, this is the equivalent of the the type of rhetoric we've heard in the 1930s, things that are said and and and slogans that are chanted, it's shocking.
Well, it's it's it's shocking, but it's not surprising.
We have not taught the truth about the Holocaust.
You can look at the statistics.
Look at the look at the surveys that have been conducted on U.S. millennials and Gen Zers and with their knowledge of the Holocaust and what happened, they can't even name a concentration camp.
There was a good majority of people, I think it was over 63%, lacked an awareness of what happened during the Holocaust.
Right now, FBI director Christopher Ray said, and I don't I don't like the guy, but he's right.
He said this year, you know, that sixty percent of all religious-based hate crimes targeted Jewish people.
They targeted the Jewish people.
We are seeing the rise of anti-Semitism.
We have imported hate into our nation.
I have traveled the world, Sean, I've covering the wars for nearly 20 years.
I've seen the kind of vile hate.
I was on a mountain in Iraq, Sinjar, where Islamic state dug, well, they didn't even dig them.
They had the Yazidis dig their own graves, And they committed genocide against the Yazidi people.
You know, this is not just about the Jewish people, Sean.
This is about every single one of us.
And when somebody says to you, this is not about the Jewish people, believe me, this is not uh just about the Jewish people.
All right, quick break.
Welcome back more with investigative reporter, Fox News investigative journalist Sarah Carter on the other side.
Uh, we'll also check in with Senator Ted Cruz.
All right, we continue now.
Sarah Carter is with us, investigative reporter and journalist.
Does anybody remember that Hitler didn't like a lot of people?
Basically, if you weren't in that quote, white Aryan uh uh category, uh, you were considered the enemy.
You know, like the Klan, yeah, okay, they were racist, uh, but they were also they hated Jewish people, they hated Catholic people, but definitely they were racist more above all else by a long shot, but they were horrible people all the way around.
There's a lot of hate out there for a lot of groups.
Yes, there is, Sean, but there is a vile, and look, I've covered terrorism for a long time.
I've covered extremism, right?
And that extremism, whether it's Islamic State, whether it's Hamas and their Shia, and I believe that Hamas was being supported by Iran, and Iran used them as a proxy, or whether it's Al Qaeda or whether it's the Taliban, there is extremism in many different forms.
And that extremism has kind of spread like a virus across the globe.
It's it's infiltrating our school systems, our ideology.
It's it's a lie, it's getting mixed up in a narrative that isn't even based on reality, and it's turning people against each other.
And that extremism is an extremism against the Western world.
It's against what we stand for, which is liberty and freedom, and all of those things that make our nation beautiful and wonderful.
And that extremism is filled with a violent hate that I don't think most Americans can truly comprehend or understand.
Israel got a taste of that.
Israel got a horrible, horrible They have no choice now but to fight this war, to beat Hamas, to beat Hezbollah, to beat uh the Houthis that have declared war on them, uh, to beat back forces in Syria firing missiles at them.
And eventually, the world's gotta have a reckoning with the the number one state sponsor of terror, and that's that's Aran.
Uh Sarah, I know you're gonna be at this protest in New York tonight.
Please be careful.
Um, we appreciate you doing it.
At any point you don't feel safe, you know the rules, get out.
Um we can't have anything happen to you.

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.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up, you put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.

If you want to be a part of the program.
You know, I've been talking for months about how the Knox Entry System helps law enforcement gain the access that they need to schools during hostile events when seconds matter.
In fact, more than 200 municipalities currently now trust the Knox entry system to provide a secure and efficient means to get access where and when that they need it.
Now, businesses, airports, and specific industrial applications have joined schools and law enforcement and fire departments, and they're also using Knox Entry to manage first responder access and or uh authorized service activity to better protect and monitor their critical assets.
Now, Knox Entry allows you to develop a customized access strategy complete with an audit trail and rapid flexibility.
If your company has important assets that you want to better protect, just contact Knox today for more information on their innovative Knox Entry system.
Go to their website, Nox.com, Kn O X dot com.
That's Knox.com.
Uh, our friend Senator Ted Cruz, uh, who is from the great state of Texas, came out with a fabulous book.
And I actually can't put it down.
I haven't been watching TV all week because I've been reading the book.
And it's called Unwoke, How to Defeat Cultural Marxism in America.
You know you've heard the saying, go woke, you go broke, but our institutions have all gone woke.
Even our military has gone woke.
He chronicles all of this.
It is the most compelling and damning case against wokeness that I've ever seen written.
Uh the book, by the way, now is in bookstores all around the country.
It's on Hannity.com and Amazon.com.
Uh, we welcome back to the program, Senator Ted Cruz.
How are you, sir?
Sean, I'm doing terrific.
It's great to be with you.
Okay, I never saw a cover like this, because it looks like they took a picture, but it looks like a portrait.
Is this a portrait of you or is it a picture of you?
No, it's just a photograph with some good lighting.
You look great anyway.
You know, this has really become so pervasive.
It's unbelievable to me, although there's certain areas that uh appear never to get into the woke category.
Attacks against African American conservatives.
You could pretty much seemingly say whatever you want.
Uh what is being said about Israel and and the Jewish people on college campuses and around the country, yeah, they don't apply the same woke standards in those two instances.
Uh isn't that rather odd?
Well, that's exactly right.
And and and the book explains why.
Uh this is the cultural Marxist at work.
And and and what but this book does is it explains how the radical left took over institution in America.
And and it starts with the universities, and chapter one of the book is the universities, which I call the Wuhan Lab of the woke virus.
That's where it was created, that's where it mutated, that's where it spread.
From there, each chapter of the book addresses a different institution.
So it goes from the universities to K through twelve education, from there to journalism, from there to government, from there to big business, from there to big tech, from there to entertainment, to Hollywood, movies, TV, sports, music, from there to science.
And then the last chapter of the book is on China, explaining how China is a central nexus intertwined throughout it all.
And and what the book does, Sean, is two things.
Number one, it explains precisely why and how the radical left took these institutions over, and they did it from the inside.
But then number two, even more importantly, it lays out a clear battle plan for how we take the institutions back.
And you know, you mentioned the the vicious anti-Semitism we're seeing on campuses right now.
This is a manifestation of the cultural Marxist.
And what the book explains is that Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto divided the world into oppressors and victims.
And he thought socioeconomically, so the pr the oppressors were the owners of capital, and the victims were the proletariat, the workers, and his solution that he advocated for is the violent revolution of the proletariat to forcibly overthrow the oppressors and use government to forcibly redistribute the wealth.
Well, fast forward to all of the different mutations of Marxism, including critical race theory and queer theory and all of the different versions.
What we see right now is for the radical left, they have coded Jews as oppressors, and they have coded Palestinians as victims, and so therefore the cultural Marxists support the violent overthrow by the people they've deemed the victims of the oppressors, and it's why you see so many on the left literally celebrating Hamas and the atrocities they've carried out.
See, what you're describing is an answer to the question of why.
And and maybe maybe even after all my years in radio and television, maybe I've just put never put it quite all together the way you have.
And again, you you march through the institutions and you talk about universities, K through twelve education, uh are corrupt and abusively biased uh media in this country and corrupt and and with a political agenda big tech and the influence it has on culture.
Uh and then you compare it and you you sort of you you sort of dovetail all of that in by design all of this.
It is, but I'll tell you this book it it is a hopeful and optimistic book because we are winning important victories.
And and and uh there are a lot of tools we can use to take these institutions back.
Some of the most important are just sunlight and transparency, because the ideas of the radical left are wildly unpopular.
No rational person supports abolishing the Police.
No rational person supports open borders and the chaos at our southern border.
No rational person supports surgically sterilizing and castrating a young child.
No rational person celebrates murders and rapes from Hamas terrorists.
Those are the views of the radical left, and it's why they rely on power and force and coercion along with indoctrination.
And so shining a light is powerful, and we when we combine that with increasing the consequences, the costs of going woke, we can win these battles.
And that's what this book lays out is a battle plan to do exactly that.
You know, it really is uh pretty remarkable.
What I want people to understand, though, a little bit more deeply is it's not even subtle anymore.
It used to be more subtle.
Now it's out there in the open.
You know, now they're pushing gender identity.
Now they're pushing CRT.
Uh now it's okay, it's acceptable at some of the most prestigious universities in the country, even your alma mater uh Havid, uh, where even Professor Dershwood said you were one of the best and brightest students he ever taught.
And and certainly being the national debate champion is no small accomplishment.
And but Harvard, I mean, were you shocked about the 31 student groups at Harvard that came out and blamed Israel, the victim and only Israel for October the seventh?
Yeah, you know, I wish I was shocked, but I wasn't.
Sadly, Harvard has been ground zero for all of this.
It's really been the birthplace for an enormous amount of it.
And and and these student groups, the statement they signed was asinine, it was bigoted, it was anti-Semitic.
They said every atrocity committed.
It was also ignorant.
And I thought getting into Harvard, you were getting into the the elite class of university couldn't do better than getting in Harvard.
Apparently uh they dumb you down in Harvard.
Well, they're not actually interested in real learning.
They're interested in indoctrination and forced agreement with one point of view.
That's that's a consistent theme of the left.
They oppose free speech.
It's why big tech engages in censorship.
If they thought their views were right, they would have confidence that they would prevail in open debate, but they use power.
And as you know, I opened the book by by telling my family story how my father, as a teenager, fought alongside Fidel Castro in Cuba.
And my dad was imprisoned and tortured in Cuba.
He was 14 years old when he started doing this.
And and my dad said the revolution in Cuba, it was all 14 and 15-year-old boys.
And and the communists always start with young people with the children, because teenagers, they're young, they're idealistic, they're passionate, and they haven't lived life experience, so they're easily deceived.
And that is why this the cultural Marxists, they started in the universities and they focused early on on K-12 education.
And Sean, a story I tell in the book.
My grandmother, Mayabuela, was a sixth grade teacher in Cuba, and she told me that when Castro succeeded and took over, one of the very first things he did is he sent his soldiers into the elementary schools, and the soldiers would go into kindergarten and first grades, and they would tell the students, they'd say, Close your eyes and pray to God for candy.
And the kids would do so, and they'd open their eyes and there'd be no candy.
And then the soldiers would say, Close your eyes and pray to Fidel Castro for candy.
The kids would do so, and the soldiers would quietly slip a piece of candy on each of their desks.
That's what Marxism is.
That is about as sick as anything I've ever heard.
You talk about brainwashing indoctrination.
Um, I once read uh a book, it was printed years ago, a synthesis of Russian mind control techniques.
It is very, very similar to what you are describing here and how they control the masses.
And I think it's very hard for people to maybe even believe that they could be susceptible to suggestion like this or the amount of pressure brought to bear on for people to be to conform to whatever whatever the cultural issue is of the day.
I mean, and and why there is so few of us that are willing to take the heat and go out there, speak our minds freely, and say things that the left doesn't like to hear and just get the crap beaten out of us.
Other people see that they're like, I don't want to go through that.
Um, however, you don't have freedom of thought otherwise.
Look, they they punish you, they silence you, they try to cancel you, they try to get you fired.
They engage in brute force.
Look, the list has canceled J.K. Rowling because she she actually believes women exist.
She's thoroughly left than everything else, but she hasn't completely lost her mind if she's willing to defend women.
And and and that is a a capital offense in in in their world view.
And it's you know, you're talking about like Soviet mind control.
It's why the left takes journalism takes entertainment takes uh big tech because subtle culture, cultural Marxists use the tools of culture to push their orthodoxy and the brainwash.
And so right now, young people, their views are much less pro-Israel than historically Americans have been.
Why?
Because TikTok today, if I went back to school, I just know from my own kids what my own kids tell me that the it the indoctrination that goes on.
They they know how their dad thinks, and they sit there and they're like, Dad, you're not gonna believe this one.
And they'll tell me this story.
Then they, Dad, you're not gonna believe this story.
And then, you know, or they'll ask me what I they should do.
I said, I don't really care if you take on the teacher or not, but if you have other aspirations, you want to be a lawyer or a doctor, or go to grad school or business school, just remember that's probably gonna hurt you.
And if you play the game and you just know the truth in your heart, it doesn't matter if you just regurgitate back the garbage that they're trying to get you to regurgitate.
Look, it it is a massive problem.
But but at the same time, there are moments of hope.
So, for example, school board races.
You look at what happened in Loudoun County when the teenage girl was assaulted by a boy wearing a skirt in the girls' bathroom, and the school covered it up and denied it happened.
Well, that enraged moms in Virginia, and it led to Glenn Youncan getting elected uh governor of Virginia, flipping a state that a year earlier had voted for Biden by ten points.
We're seeing that all over the country this last Tuesday.
After Donald Trump, there's nobody in the country you want to beat more than me.
And and so they're gonna spend well over a hundred million dollars coming against me.
And so if everyone could go to Ted Cruz.org, Ted Cruz dot org, ted Cruz.org, support the campaign, that would be hugely helpful.
And this book came out this week.
I'd encourage you go to any bookstore, go to Amazon, go to Barnes and Noble, buy it right now.
And and you know, Christmas is just around the corner.
It's a great gift, I agree.
Christmas gift.
Give it to your mom or your best friend, or give it to your kids, your kids.
Let me give the uh name in the title, Ted Cruz Unwoke, How to Defeat, Cultural Marxism in America, Amazon.com, Barnesand Noble.com, Hannity.com, and bookstores everywhere.
Senator, thank you.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
We got a great uh Hannity tonight, Nine Eastern.
