This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz.
And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down at Verdict with Ted Cruz Now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Where we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a conscious song.
We'll all be inside higher than a jail, I know.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
Well, one thing we haven't agreed to is a ceasefire.
A ceasefire with Hamas means surrender to Hamas, surrender to terror.
There won't be a ceasefire without the release of the Israeli hostages.
And then do we go back to bombing?
No.
Four hours.
We don't want four hours.
We don't want 16 hours.
We don't want 22.
We want a ceasefire now.
So the situation at the border, you're saying, is not a disaster.
That is correct.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a conscious song.
Sean Hennerty, you do the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon.
Thanks to all of you for being with us.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well, I'm going to pass on bad news on the economy.
When a guy like billionaire Ken Griffin talks, remember the E.F. Hutton commercials?
When E.F. Hutton speaks, people listen.
They be silenced.
The guy's a multi-multi-multi-billionaire, and he's warning the country that, you know, we're nearly at $34 trillion in debt.
He's saying, yeah, it is unsustainable as a country.
And he says that this inflation as a result of it could last for decades.
Do you realize how dangerous this is?
And that they keep spending money and keep spending money and keep spending money and they're not stopping their insatiable appetite to spend money.
It's pretty unbelievable.
Later in the program, by the way, we're going to play Douglas Murray.
He's a great columnist with the New York Post.
And he had an exchange on the issue of Israel because he's in Israel right now about what's really going on on the ground.
And it was just an interesting exchange because you have very different perspectives if you're there and what you're seeing with your own eyes.
There is, you know, it was a sad thing that happened yesterday because Sarah Carter, I don't know if we have that tape, but Sarah Carter was actually out and about and we sent her into this protest in New York.
And, you know, it's sad.
She was asking simple questions.
She was asking, you know, whether or not Hamas is a terrorist organization.
That is not a hard question to answer.
But now, in case you may not know, I've said it a number of times before.
Hamas has a charter, and in their charter, it calls for the destruction of Israel.
So here she is, a quote, pro-Palestinian rally, and she's asking about the well-known terrorist group, Hamas.
Listen, and by the way, then we had to pull her.
I think she was there anywhere between 15 minutes or a half hour.
I don't know.
I don't remember the exact time.
But whenever we send a reporter out in the field, we send a bunch of security with him.
That's just the reality of the world we live in.
We have to keep our Fox family safe, our reporters safe.
And thank God security was there with her because these people are acting like such lunatics that it was now a crowd was beginning to form.
And finally, the security stepped in and said, we're out of here.
We're done.
We're going home.
And got her out of there before things got really out of control.
Just listen to this.
Do you want the Hamas?
Do you want to know about that now?
Yeah, Hamas targeted.
If you want to make sure that we're talking to what happened, October 7th, Hamas entered Israel and killed 1600.
Is Hamas a terrorist organization?
Is Hamas?
I'm only asking a simple question.
Is Hamas not Palestinians?
It is Hamas.
We're saying that we have concerns to acknowledge that.
And we want them to go to the bottom.
We want the hostages to be safe, but we want God to stop being bombed.
There's only one person that's in charge of that.
The Israeli government and our attackers are going there.
Who attacked who?
Yeah, it's not about Palestine or Palestinians per se.
It's about Hamas.
And unfortunately, I would say most of these people cannot differentiate between the two.
Is Hamas a terrorist?
Is Hamas a terrorist?
Yes, you are.
Oh, you're here.
Yes.
Hamas is a terrorist organization.
But I'm asking, but you won't answer that question.
You don't get it.
I don't have to answer a question that you're not going to understand how to comprehend regardless.
Are you scared?
Right now?
No, I'm not scared.
This is my city.
This is my country.
And they're not going to take it away from me.
I mean, you've got to give that last lady a lot of credit because she was putting up posters of pictures of the hostages being held and people that were killed, but they don't get it.
Now, again, I know I've said this statistic a lot.
Please, please bear with me.
Give me some grace here.
But again, if you compare the population of Israel and the number of people killed, it's the equivalent, if compared to our population, of about 38,000 Americans killed in a single day.
On 9-11, 2001, we lost 2,977 Americans.
We lost around 2,400 at Pearl Harbor.
I mean, this would be the equivalent of losing 38 plus thousand Americans a day.
It's insane.
Anyway, and what do we have Joe Biden's administration doing?
They're putting so much pressure on Prime Minister Netanyahu.
This is a fight for their survival.
Since October 7th, the head of Hamas has gone on television and said, we're going to have tons of October 7th.
We're going to do it again and again and again until we destroy Israel.
I don't know why this is an issue that is as I, for whatever reason, brought out the just unbelievable, virulent hatred and anti-Semitism.
We've seen it in the halls of Congress all over college universities.
We've seen it in the streets of our cities like New York, like yesterday.
I mean, it's pretty unbelievable.
And we have a president now pressuring Israel to stop fighting a war for its very survival.
You can't do that.
And we should not be putting that pressure on Israel.
We should be supporting Israel the way they supported us, unwavering support after 9-11.
They're getting hit by Hamas out of Gaza in the south.
They're getting hit by Hezbollah in Lebanon out of the north.
They're getting the Houthi rebels firing missiles from Yemen into Israel.
They got Syria firing missiles.
You got saber rattling by Erdogan out of Turkey, who should be thrown out of NATO.
And then, of course, you got the Iranian mullahs.
And ultimately, the way this has to end from my perspective, if we're going to define winning, because my heart's troubled that so many people do not have any, they seemingly don't have any sense of moral clarity, no idea what right and wrong is.
They sympathize with the terrorists in this case.
And the pure number of people, not only in our college campuses and on the streets of our cities and in the halls of Congress, but all over the world from European nations to Australia and so on.
I feel like this, we've gone into a time warp here in the lead up to what will be Nazi Germany.
And I don't use that analogy.
If you've ever listened to this show, watch my TV show.
That's not an analogy Sean Hannity has used because I always felt it was overused and inappropriately used.
But after I've seen enough images that most of you have not seen, and after I've seen videos that most of you have not seen, it is as close to what you'd expect to have seen in the death camps during Nazi Germany.
And this is, there should be no moral ambiguity here.
This is right versus wrong.
Everyone should have moral clarity, but they don't.
And Joe Biden, you know, giving in to the radicals in his own party is beyond, it's disheartening.
You know, it takes, I'm shocked.
But, you know, obviously politics rules the day and extremism is running the Democratic Party.
You know, Prime Minister Netanyahu, by the way, was ripping the mob and the media, the Western media, for working with photojournalists embedded with Hamas.
I've told you about this story yesterday, calling them accomplices in crimes against humanity.
CNN, fake news CNN, formally severed ties with a freelancer who was photographed getting a kiss from the terror group's leader.
Did these, quote, journalists know about these pending attacks and do nothing except, oh, just go along for the ride and take videos and pictures of the atrocities?
Netanyahu's office tweeted Thursday that it views the, you know, with utmost gravity that so-called photojournalists are working with international media, joined in the covering of the brutal acts of murder perpetrated by Hamas terrorists on October the 7th.
These, quote, journalists were accomplices in crimes against humanity.
Their actions were contrary to the professional ethics, he said.
You know, the anger followed this bombshell investigation by a media watchdog group called Honest Reporting into journalists who were actually there to document the October 7th attack.
More than 1,400 people were murdered, hundreds taken hostage.
By the way, Americans were killed there as well.
American hostages are there as well.
And the oversight Israeli Minister of Communications literally issued a scathing letter to these news organizations, Reuters, the AP, Fake News, CNN, the New York Times.
It's unbelievable.
By the way, Joe Biden, we learned, according to John Fund of the New York Post, is surrounded at all times by aides dubbed the fall guys to prevent any more presidential face plants.
Their job is to keep Joey, your president, from falling on his face again in public before the election.
That's a hell of an important job.
How do you prevent it?
Unless you're literally carrying him from place to place.
By the way, Alan Dershowitz responded to Barack Obama, and he said Obama had a deep hatred of Israel.
I'd love to see those two debate.
And he was just outraged over the former president's call for an end to, quote, Israeli occupation.
Israel has not been occupying Gaza for years and years and years and years and years.
And Dershowitz said, I think he always had a deep hatred of Israel in his heart.
He hid it very well.
He called me to the Oval Office, said to me, Alan, you've known me for a long time.
You know I have Israel's back.
I didn't realize that he meant to paint a target on it.
Dershowitz actually said to Maria Barratiromo, ouch.
He's never been supportive of Israel, he went on to say.
And finally, he said his true feelings have come out now that he's no longer president and doesn't have to be elected.
Quote, he has contributed enormously to the problem because he is respected among young people.
And if he says the occupation is unbearable and that anything can be done to stop it, he's encouraging people to engage in their anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, anti-American attitudes.
And he should be ashamed of himself.
He should apologize, but the professor knows that he won't.
You have pro-Palestinian protesters swarming the New York Times building.
This is going on.
And another indication that these pro-Palestinian protesters have zero knowledge, as we just played for you in that tape with Sarah Carter, about the issue that they're protesting, as you have hundreds of these pro-Hamas crazies swarming the New York Times building in New York City yesterday.
Let me hear that.
New York Times Logan!
But the gat louder!
New York Times London!
Kathleen Catesbury!
New York Times Lauderdale!
Johnny Fogger!
New York Times Liar!
They're reading a dead Palestinian's name and saying New York Times blood on their hands.
By the way, somebody needs to read the Democrat Party Hates America by Mark Levin because he chronicles the New York Times.
By the way, how many of you know that they actually tried to cover up the Holocaust in 1944 with the long history of anti-Israeli reporting right up to and including their bogus headline two weeks ago, quote, Israel airstrike hits Gaza hospital, killing 500.
Wrong.
Wrong.
Just dead wrong.
You know, the demonstrators, the crowds, you know, chanting from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.
You know, a phrase known for the eradication of Israel.
That's what got the censure of Congresswoman Tlaib.
We've got a lot more to get to here.
I never thought we'd be having discussed things that we're discussing, but apparently we are.
I just want some people to understand here, there is right and there is wrong.
You know, sometimes there is evil and there is good.
There are victims and there are perpetrators of crimes.
And why there's any moral ambiguity on anything involving this conflict and this war is beyond my understanding.
Moral clarity is needed for the moment.
I didn't think we'd need so much of it.
But it's like a cancer for crying out loud.

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.

It is sick and getting sicker.
That was a phrase Bob Grant used for many, many.
It's sick and it's getting sicker.
Get off my phone, you scum.
It's like Levin.

So let me go back and just play.
20% of Democrats say they support Hamas.
What if 20% of America, of Republicans, conservatives, supported a terrorist organization?
How do you think the mob and the media would react?
They always talk about the journalists.
How did they all go for the propaganda that Israel bombed the hospital and 500 were killed?
And all they had to really do, they could have done a live Google.
Don't they have live Google Earth or is it not live?
It's live, right?
Everything is live.
You can do anything.
Okay, so, and the hospital is still standing.
You see, the hospital was never bombed, although we have been told underneath the hospitals are tunnels that protect and hide the Hamas terrorists as they use everything and anybody and anyone as a human shield.
I mean, it's pretty unbelievable.
20% of Democrats say they support Hamas.
You have a story.
This was in the Jewish Journal.
I don't like to tell stories like this.
Saddens me.
It breaks, frankly, this is getting to me.
The sheer numbers of people supporting anti-Semitism, it really is, it's getting to me.
The lack of any fundamental understanding of who the victims are here is really, really bothering me.
You know, these are our fellow Americans.
Is this idiotic, dumb protest again going on, just like last night, the one that Sarah Carter had to be pulled out of?
Anyway, so we have more details on the death of an elderly Jewish man in California, bashed in the head by a, quote, Palestinian protester, fell to the ground, hit his head.
He's dead.
Witnesses say the Jewish man who was knocked down and suffered a fatal injury during a, quote, pro-Israel demonstration on Sunday in Southern California was being stalked by the pro-Palestinian protester who delivered the blow.
Don't you love these brave people that go after the elderly people?
I love these brave people.
And the man crossed the street because as, you know, he was being stalked, he came over with a megaphone in his hand to do the same thing, according to one witness telling the Jewish Journal.
This poor man, I mean, he warned the man to get away, prompting him to move on to a 69-year-old Paul Kessler.
And all of a sudden, I see a punch.
And the reason I know I could see the punch was because it was the white megaphone flying through the air, the eyewitness said.
According to reports, he then fell backwards, struck his head, sustaining serious injuries, taken to the hospital.
He died a day later.
Imagine this is insane.
I have to imagine it's happening.
And I'll tell you right now, and you're not going to like what I'm going to say, but I'm going to hedge because this is the Sean Hannity show, and I respect that.
But what I will tell you is that, you know, the only thing that we need to do to let evil exist is do nothing.
And right now.
Edmund Burke said that.
I don't know who that is.
But the demonic people are walking down the street.
They're praising Satan.
They're screaming his name as loud as can be.
And they have all the mainstream media on their side and they have a narrative.
And to Sarah's credit yesterday, and I talked to her the whole time she was there because I was scared to death for her.
And some of the stuff I could hear them saying to her, she couldn't even report on because it's so vile.
But none of those people are able to answer a simple question.
There's a ton of videos on this.
I want to play this again because you're right.
Frickin' nuts.
All she's asking at this, quote, pro-Palestinian rally is, is the group Hamas a terrorist organization?
Now, Fox Security with her had to pull her out of this.
She was going to stay and do a live hit from the protest.
She had to get out of there.
Now, she did have some video.
We aired it last night.
We should put the video on Hannity.com, but let me play the audio again.
Listen to how violent these people get.
Do you want the Hamas?
Do you want to?
If you want to make a talking point of view, October 7th, Hamas entered Israel and killed 1600.
Is Hamas a terrorist organization?
Is Hamas?
I'm only asking a simple question.
Is Hamas?
Not Palestinians.
It is Hamas.
We're saying that we have murdering a generation to acknowledge that.
And we want them to go to the bottom.
We want the hostages to be safe and we want God to stop being bombed.
There's only one person that's in charge of that.
The Israeli government and our attackers are going there.
Who attacked who?
Yeah, it's not about Palestine or Palestinians per se.
It's about Hamas.
And unfortunately, I would say most of these people cannot differentiate between the two.
Is Hamas a terrorist?
Is Hamas a terrorist?
Yes, you are.
Oh, you're here.
Yes.
Hamas.
But I'm asking, but you won't answer that question.
You don't get it.
I don't have to answer a question that you're not going to understand how to comprehend regardless.
Are you scared?
Right now?
No, I'm not scared.
This is my city.
This is my country.
And they're not going to take it away from me.
That last person was a woman, an elderly woman.
Well, not elderly, maybe, you know, 56, somewhere in there.
Hair.
All right, stop, sunshine.
The same color hair.
In other words, she was like a mom or a grandma.
I just, she was an older woman.
I can say that.
What's wrong with you?
The point is, is that she was out there alone.
She was out there alone and putting up posters of people killed and people missing.
Now, Hamas's commander is now holding an additional thousand hostages at where a Gaza hospital.
You know, I guess that's Hamas's answer or response to Joe Biden's decision to pressure B.B. Netanyahu for this pause.
And I don't know why BB even agreed to a four-hour daily pause so they can rearm and restock and regroup.
I don't like the idea.
Look, I'm going to say something that just needs to be said.
And that is, what does Israel's mission need to be here?
It needs to be victory.
You need to go back and listen to Winston Churchill.
You know, it's very interesting.
I find Winston Churchill's life one of the most fascinating.
I find his leadership during World War II the most interesting.
He was one of the few people that understood Hitler long before all this.
He saw it, called it out.
They thought he was rude.
They thought he was crude.
They thought he was drunk.
They thought he smoked too much, swore too much, probably womanized too much.
I don't know what else he did.
I'm not saying he was the perfect person, but he was the perfect person to lead Great Britain to victory over the Nazis in World War II.
This man is prime minister.
Remember, they had the meeting, the infamous meeting, Hitler and Neville Chamberlain.
And Neville Chamberlain comes back to Britain and says, well, we've achieved peace in our time.
In other words, they weren't going to get drawn into World War II.
Yeah, how long did that last?
And every day during the bombing of Britain, this rude, crude, formerly hated guy that Britain called on because they needed his strength, his pure strength and will to lead the effort.
Every day during the bombing of Britain as prime minister, he walked amongst the people that were being bombed.
And he put all caution to the wind.
And he did what was right.
And that's why Winston Churchill is who he is.
Now, after he won the war and the war was won, they threw him out of office.
They did bring him back, but it is what it is.
But what did he say?
You know, I have these tapes.
I got a gift.
You know who gave me these tapes?
Trog Keller gave me these tapes.
Remember Trog?
It was early in the syndication of the radio show.
Big liberal, by the way.
And this is when he said, all I have to offer, lead, tile, tears, and sweat.
What is our aim?
Our aim, I could say it in one word, victory.
Victory.
Let me play that for you.
I would say to the house, as I said to those who've joined the government, I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.
You aren't sweaty up on the day.
I will say it is to wage war by sea, land, and air, with all our might, with all the strength that God can give us, to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark and lamentable catalogue of human crime.
You ask, what is our aim?
I can answer in one word.
Victory.
Victory at all costs.
Victory in spite of all terror.
Victory, however long and hard the road may be, but without victory there is no survival.
That's Israel's goal.
That's what their goal needs to be.
Victory against a monstrous tyranny.
Victory at all costs.
And that's against what is terrorism in his time.
100 years, you know, if we look at the last century, you include Mao in China, Stalin in Russia.
You include Hitler in Germany, Tojo, Japan, Mussolini, fascism, and whole pot in the killing fields.
You have over 100 million human souls dead.
What does victory to me look like for Israel?
I'm going to be very, very blunt.
Victory means the destruction and end of Hamas as a terror organization.
Destroy them.
I don't know how you accomplish it completely.
It's like cancer.
I don't know if you can root out the good versus the evil.
How do you read people's hearts, minds, and soul?
Victory against Hezbollah.
That means that Lebanon could no longer be a staging area for their missile launches into Israel.
That means Gaza could no longer be a staging area for the missile launches into Israel.
Victory against the Houthi rebels means wipe them out.
That's what victory is at all costs.
And then if it's going to be ultimate victory, you got to deal with Iran.
The world is, there's a reckoning coming.
The world has a choice now.
Right now, the Mullahs in Iran, Iran, the number one state sponsor of terror, they do not, according to every source I've ever spoken to, they do not currently have nuclear capability.
If they ever acquire it, now that they have aligned with Russia and China and North Korea, the odds are much higher that that could happen expeditiously.
Because if the Mullahs in Iran ever have nuclear capability, does anybody out there doubt that they would use it to wipe Israel off the map, which is what they say?

This is my personal opinion.
This is how I defend myself.
I don't take anybody's crap.
But the bottom line is there's way too many people not taking everybody's crap.
Good thing I'm the boss because you're not going.
I'm making an executive decision.
Sorry to disappoint you.
