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.

So down a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
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 are coming.
To your city.
Don't play our guitar and say you will conscious song.
Sean Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Alright, news Roundup Information Overload Hour.
Here's our toll-free telephone number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh it's always an honor, a privilege, a pleasure to have back on the program, my friend, my buddy John Rich.
Uh he's gonna be down in Nashville with us at the Fox Nation Awards next week.
I can't wait to see you, my friend.
How are you?
I'm doing great, Sean.
Looking forward to seeing you too, buddy.
All right, so we have tomorrow, which is November 11th, and sadly there are probably too many Americans that don't know what that day is.
Would you like to remind them or shall I?
Well, tomorrow uh is Veterans Day, where we as Americans are supposed to stop and remember whose shoulders we stand upon, who we owe everything to in this country, and we honor them uh and show them great respect.
That's what tomorrow's all about.
So you're a multi-platinum singer-songwriter, uh, one of the uh the best songwriters I've ever met, and you've written for so many other artists besides yourself and and Big Kenny, you and Big Kenny, big and rich have done great.
You write I gotta tell you, I've been listening lately, Earth to God, because things are so screwed up in the world.
And I'm like, I hope people watch that video.
I'm actually gonna put it up there with your new song today that you're just releasing.
Um, but John has just put put together a brand new release.
It's called The Man, and it's to honor our veterans, and he's releasing it today, and you can catch the riveting video featuring numerous American heroes who fought for your liberty and your freedom.
And we gotta honor them and remember to honor them, even if you just take some time and say a prayer and and give a give a prayer of thanks to the people that sacrificed all, risked all for our liberty and our freedom that way too many Americans take for granted, and others abused by supporting terrorist groups like Hamas.
Anyway, here's his brand new song.
It's called The Man in Honor of Veterans Day.
Music Well, he was one of the millions.
Long go, 1941.
He fought under MacArthur 17th with an Army Thompson gun.
All right, that song just released today.
It's called The Man in Honor of Veterans.
By the way, where can people download it?
I guess anywhere that you get your music, right?
Yes, sir.
It's everywhere.
iTunes, Amazon, anywhere you go.
It's on a record called The Country Truth.
It's one of the songs on that record.
And that's a song I wrote about my grandfather and his service in World War II in the U.S. Army.
And when I say the man, I'm yeah, I'm talking about him because he's my granddaddy, but the man is all of them.
The man is every man, every woman, everybody that has gone to the mat like that for this country.
I think it's been a long time since Americans have experienced the potential loss of sovereignty of the United States, the actual loss of freedom.
And nobody really can relate to what that must feel like.
And if you go back to the greatest generation, had they not stood up and did what they did, the world would be a completely different place.
We're the shoulders they stand on.
They're the shoulders we stand on.
And the next generation, Sean, they're standing on our shoulders.
I said this the other day to a friend, that there are people with my last name, with Sean Hannity's last name, that we will never meet.
They will be born into the future.
And they're depending on what we do right this second.
So I wanted this song to be a reminder to all Americans how important our veterans are.
In doing so, you mentioned the greatest generation.
My father was a part of it.
Now, all four of my grandparents came from Ireland.
They came here with nothing.
They lived all of their lives pretty poor, worked their asses off.
Both my parents grew up very poor.
My mom in the South Bronx of New York, and my my dad in Bedstyr in Brooklyn, not exactly the best neighborhoods uh at the time where they were living.
And then my father, you know, grew up during the depression and you know, had to contribute financially to his own family.
I mean, crazy stuff.
Even pap even delivering papers, whatever money he got from that.
Um and you're right, we stand on their shoulders.
Can you imagine the the trauma, the horror of the things he might have seen?
Or you think of the guys that slammed the beaches of Normandy.
You know, if you haven't watched Saving Private Ryan, take a look.
And and because that is re that was their reality.
They were sitting ducks and just being slaughtered on the beaches of Normandy.
And and yet they were able to beat back the forces of evil at that time.
I mean, you just I I mean, they're just so amazing.
You can't say enough good about these people.
Yeah, I mean, there's there's one part in the song, The Man, where it says, uh, I'm the grandson of a soldier, and I'd fight the whole world over if duty called and freedom's on the line.
But thanks to the greatest generation and the one still fighting for our nation, I've never had to kill from my way of life.
I don't have PTSD, Sean.
You don't have PTSD either.
We've never had to pick up a rifle and shoot somebody with it, or throw a hand grenade at a bunch of guys and and kill people on behalf of the United States to ensure freedom for our for our future generations.
Thank God we've not had to do that.
But I'm telling you, a lot of time has passed, and a lot of our young people, especially in this country, have no touchstone, no firsthand knowledge or conversation with real heroes, real veterans, real men, women that have done things like that to understand that their freedom is not inherited.
They have to earn it.
And I believe in this country we're moving towards a place now where we're gonna have to earn it again.
Why why we're watching, you know, a victim of terrorism extrapolate out the population of Israel, compare it to the United States, and those four, ten hundred people slaughtered by the terrorist organization, Hamas on October the seventh.
That that would be the equivalent equivalent of losing thirty-eight thousand Americans in a single day.
Now, I know how this country acted after 9-11.
You refer to that in your new song as well, the man.
Um we lost 2,977.
Could you imagine if we lost 38,000 plus Americans in a single day, and then we were being told by governments around the world that we have to hit the pause button While we're fighting an enemy that has sworn to wipe us off the planet off the face of the earth, because that's in Hamas's charter, John Rich.
Yeah, well, this is the product of mass brainwashing for a very long time, especially on our use in this country to be brainwashed and indoctrinated that America is the problem.
America deserves it.
Um and they believe that.
That's why they're out in the streets uh like a bunch of brainwashed anti-American zombies cheering this on.
And it's disgusting to watch, and it's very concerning.
All of us that that don't feel that way, which I believe is the mass majority of a country.
We're all watching it going, Wow, these people live in our zip codes.
These people are right down the street from all of us.
Sean, are you are you watching what's happening on college campuses in the halls of Congress?
Uh this I don't think it's happening in Nashville, at least I pray to God it's not.
It shocks the conscience and soul, at least to me.
And I didn't think I could be shocked anymore at this point in my life, John Rich.
I thought I thought I pretty much saw it all.
Yeah, unfortunately, I don't think you have.
And and uh I will say this all those weak need college kids outstanding out in the street cheering on Hamas, they better hope to to God in heaven that if the bad guys in this country ever decide to activate, guess where they'll be running to?
They'll be running to the veterans, to the active duty, to the Patriots, they'll be running to the people who said, I told you so.
Yeah, well, I've been warning people, John Rich, and I don't I'll say this, and your dad was a preacher, and I'll say it this way.
Uh I pray to the good Lord above that this never happens, that I am a hundred percent wrong, but I'm up actually a hundred percent confident I'm right.
Joe Biden by allowing eight million since he's been president, eight million illegal immigrants, allowing them into this country, unvetted, and that we know of hundreds and hundreds and hundreds coming from Iran, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds coming from Syria, thousands coming from all over the Middle East, tens of thousands from China and Russia.
I guarantee you, John Rich, that I'm a hundred percent right that among that eight million are terrorists that that are aiming to harm Americans.
I guarantee you they're plotting, they're planning, they're scheming what would be a brutal attack on our country.
And I shudder to think of what that attack may what form it may manifest itself in.
And you know what, John?
I pray to God that I'm wrong.
I don't think I'm wrong, and I bet you probably don't think I'm wrong.
Yeah, I don't think you're wrong at all.
Why would they make a trip like that?
You know, why uh why would Gee, what a common sense question?
What a great question.
Right.
Why would you go to all that trouble to get over here?
I'll tell you what they're gonna run into whenever they try that nonsense, they're gonna run into close to 17 million veterans that are still alive in the United States.
They're gonna run into hundreds of millions of Americans.
Americans that are armed, Americans that are ready, Americans that that will die for their for their families.
They're gonna run into that.
Look at look at what they did to Jason Aldean.
That don't happen in a small town.
And what he's talking, he wasn't and and they and all this guy did um was put out a video and showed the riots in the summer of 2020.
It wasn't fake footage, it was real footage.
And he's saying, you know what?
In small towns in America, we're not gonna allow this crap to happen because we stick together.
And he wasn't talking about race.
There was nothing.
There was no zero uh uh anything to do with race in that video or in the music.
But there are Americans that still have this, you know, these fundamental beliefs, God, family, faith, country.
They believe in it, protect our own, protect our community, protect our neighbors, stand up for people we love, even strangers in in town.
Stand up for everybody.
You're not gonna get far if if you're in the wrong town and you try to pull the crap that's happening in big cities.
Why did he come under so much fire for that?
I think he came under fire because the left loves chaos, and anybody that calls him out on it and says, you know what, why don't you try that in my town and see see if you get a the same result?
What's gonna happen in Nashville if anyone tries that in your bar uh in Nashville?
Well, you know, somebody brings trouble into your bar in Nashville.
I have a pretty good idea what's going to happen to the person bringing the trouble.
Yeah, well, a lot of my security guys uh at Redneck Riviera, we actually hire active duty.
So when they come in off deployment, a lot of those guys come to my place and they work.
They they work security.
We've got guys that even bar town sometimes down there.
So, yeah, my bar would be the last place you would want to try that in, I can promise you.
All right, quick break.
We'll come back more with John Rich.
He just released his brand new single today.
It's called The Man in Honor of Veterans Day Today.
Uh and by the way, you gotta catch the riveting video.
We have it up on Hannity.com featuring numerous American heroes who fought for our country and our liberties and our freedoms.
So we're all watching, you know, what has happened with Israel as they now are fighting against Hezbollah in the north and Hamas in the south and the Houthis out of Yemen and the Syrians firing uh rockets into their country.
Uh it's resulted in over 200,000 Israeli citizens.
We're talking about men, women, children, the elderly that have been displaced because of this war.
And thank God there's organizations like the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
They're on the ground right now, and they're helping all of this these displaced people, but they need your help just to provide critical essentials.
And by critical essentials, I'm talking about food and medicine and even tents.
I mean, these people have nowhere to go.
They had to evacuate their homes.
Emergency supplies, they're in dire need, and they desperately need your help to continue this great work that they're doing.
And it's called the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.
Uh, and look, look at what they're up against.
The government is very busy there right now.
And and displaced people, you know, they're doing they're they are helping them, but that they can't possibly help at the level they normally would.
Now we have set up a website.
It's called Hannity for Israel.com.
Please give as generously as you can.
It goes directly to this organization with people on the ground providing the help.
Uh, but they need your help as as soon as possible.
A special website, it's Hannity, H-A-N-N-I-T-Y-F-O-R-Israel.com.
Hannity for Israel, one word.com.
And you know what?
You'll be helping out innocent people that are in desperate need.

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.

I want to play, it was actually an amazing exchange.
And by the way, I get along great with Piers Morgan.
Uh, we're friends.
Sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree, especially on the Second Amendment.
We totally disagree.
Um, so he's interviewing the New York Post Douglas Murray, who has gone to the Middle East and gone to Israel, and he has seen um a lot of things that most of us have not seen.
Now, unfortunately for me, um, a lot of the the images, the GoPros, the tapes, I have seen, and I honestly say this, and I'm not I'm just telling you, you you Don't want these images in your head.
It is a level that is inexplicable.
It's evil personified.
And Douglas Murray was explaining this in this exchange with Piers Morgan.
I think Piers was a little shocked, saying, uh, I'm on the ground and it's very different here.
Let me explain it to you.
Uh let me play this exchange.
It's a little long, but I think worthwhile, and then we'll get to your calls.
What concerns me about what Israel is doing is not their efforts to get rid of Hamas.
But because of the particular nature of Hamas embedding themselves amongst civilian populations with the masses amounts of civilian casualties that will inevitably come, and that figure will grow and grow and grow.
Are we not, as Barack Obama warned?
I mean, not creating here, uh, just an opportunity for far greater radicalization of all those young Palestinians who watched their loved ones get killed.
Why would we imagine that at the end of all this they're gonna want to do anything other than to become a new version of Hamas and wanting to exact revenge for what happened to their families?
Your question supposes that there is a sort of peaceful Palestinian population in the Gaza who would love a two-state solution and then a few bad apples in Hamas.
I think that's not true.
Why is it that when uh one of the victims of the music festival, uh, a poor young German Jewish girl uh who it seems was was raped and then uh brutally uh murdered and taken into the Gaza naked.
Why was it that you can find, and anyone can find this online, uh a crowd of ordinary Gazans, it wasn't uh Hamas, it wasn't a Hamas rally, ordinary Gazans uh uh spitting on her body, uh hitting her body, mutilating her body further as it went down the street.
Does that strike you, Piers, as a uh placid population of peacnic types who are just desperately waiting for a two-state solution to be put back on the table for the millionth time in the last 70 something years.
It doesn't seem like that to me.
People quite often abuse history and they say things all the time.
I mean, about the only thing anyone from history knows is about the Nazis.
Here's something I can tell you with absolute certainty, uh Piers, having not just seen some of the results of what Hamas did on the ground here in Israel a few weeks ago, but having watched the videos of the unedited footage, uh, which I was one of the journalists um was sadly allowed to see the other day.
I can tell you one thing the comparison between Hamas and the Nazis is insufficient.
Even the Nazis were actually ashamed of what they did.
You know, SS battalions who spent their days shooting Jews in the back of the head and pushing them into trunk uh into trenches, had to get very, very drunk in the evening to uh uh forget what they had done.
Uh the Nazi High Command famously had to sort of get around the problem of soldier morale because the soldiers knew this wasn't exactly what their lives are meant to look like either.
I tell you one very big difference.
If you look at the footage, the raw footage, and I really hope people don't on a wider scale have to view what I viewed the other day.
Um if they see it, they will see something that is at least as barbaric as what the Nazis did.
But here's the difference.
They did it with glee.
They were deeply proud.
You see people um uh trying to, you know, taking the head off a young Israeli man with a shovel and then uh calling their parents back in Gaza and telling them father, father, I've killed two Jews with my ten Jews in my own hands, get mother on the phone, I want to show tell her how great a job her son has done.
You know, I I come back to this thing, I'm not exaggerating this.
It's very, very interesting, and people need to realize you had this situation with uh with the Nazis where they also were a genocidal anti-Semitic organization, but they tried to cover their crimes up.
Hamas are actually proud of them, and they've said they will do them until the whole world is clear clear of Jews.
So I suggest we take that seriously, and I think that Israel is taking it seriously.
I hope they continue to take it seriously, but I think the world should take it seriously.
That was Douglas Murray uh in an interview with Piers Morgan, and why?
Because, you know, he's saying the West is failing Israel in the Hamas war.
I mean, in many ways we are.
Could you imagine losing you know, 38,000 Americans, the equivalent of your base it on population, Israel versus the US in a single day, and countries telling you to put a pause on the war for your survival?
I really can't imagine that.
That's hard for me to wrap my Mind around.
Uh all right, let's say hi.
Thomas is in Utah.
Thomas Hi.
How are you?
Glad you called.
What's going on?
Good afternoon, Sean.
Yes, I wanted to talk about the um the Republican debate.
But first of all, I want to say a happy birthday to the United States Marine Corps.
By the way, I'm saying this from my buddy Captain Howie.
Happy birthday to the Marine Corps.
And if are you by the way, you're a Marine, sir?
Yes, sir.
I w I served uh United States Marine Corps down in Camp Fendlesson, California.
And I I remember every uh every year uh on November 10th before uh Veterans Day is 248 years old today.
Great point.
Thank you to all our Marines, Semperify to all of you, and uh uh God bless you for the sacrifices you've all made in for the cause of liberty and freedom that we all benefit from.
Absolutely.
Hoorah.
Um so about the Republican debate.
So why uh um why is Chris Christie um still you know being shown up at the at the Republican debates?
I think that uh his talking points aren't really as strong as say um Ramuswamy or the governor from Florida.
Oh, Governor DeSantis.
Um look, I I've said this from the beginning.
I don't think Chris Christie's a serious candidate.
He's been on every show imaginable on fake news CNN and MSDNC, and he's on for one reason because they use him as a Republican to spend almost every second bashing Donald Trump.
Okay, I got I got it.
That's your platform.
He's not the serious candidate for president.
That's why I've not wasted my time on him.
I put V Vivek Ramaswamy on.
I mean to me it was a bit of a big baby the last time he was on because I called him out on something that he said and I quoted him accurately.
Even during the interview, he admitted I qu quoted him accurately, and and then he, you know, he's been crying about it ever since.
I'm like, you know, grow up.
If you want to be president, stop.
Tells everybody, lectures everybody else about growing up.
Um I did I did like that he called out the media.
I thought that was a good moment.
Because I don't think that the I I see no benefit of for Republicans to go in the mainstream media and let them host debates.
I don't see any any upside to it.
Um if they're not going to be fair, uh that's my personal view.
Hugh Hewitt's a great guy, I like you a lot.
He I thought he did a good job.
And in the end, I thought it was a fairly interesting debate.
I didn't like when uh his comments about Nikki Haley's daughter.
I think he I keep kids out of it.
I've been that way my whole life.
You know, people ask would ask me all the time during the Obama Obama, and I used to say, yeah, I think that it looks like he's uh has a a great family.
He's got two beautiful kids, and he seems like a great great dad, and Michelle seems like a great mom.
That's what I said.
I don't I don't want to attack children.
I don't want to attack families.
You know, it's it's it's an unfair burden that they already have if their parents are in the public eye.
And I I think they should be left alone.
Period.
End of sentence is no justification for it.
That's my personal belief.
But that's up to Vivek.
He's gonna do what he wants to do.
Well, merits and merits need to be judged.
I mean, people need to judge people on their merits of what they do politically and not not about their family life or their personal life.
I mean, when it comes down to politics, it's it's the politics that that really matter in the hit the track history and the merits, and that's what makes me think more of you know Trump, because you know, he's already been there, and also DeSantis, you know, he's he's he's got some kind of proven track record.
We America needs a tough president right now.
Let me tell you something.
America needs a president with common sense on the borders, common sense on energy, common sense on law and order, uh common sense and strength on the world stage and leadership on the world stage.
You know, we need somebody tough.
You know, because the w we see what happens when America has a weak president.
We're living under it with Joe Biden.
You know, I was I was being interviewed by a reporter.
I won't mention the person's name today.
And finally, it just yeah, I started asking, do you think Joe Biden is is suffering a serious cognitive decline?
Now the answer's obviously yes.
But the guy tried to circle around the question each way and sideways, it actually became entertaining to me because I wouldn't let up on the question.
I said, Yeah, but you're not answering.
He goes, Well, I don't feel Comfortable making a medical diagnosis.
I said I didn't ask you if he had dementia or Alzheimer's.
I mentioned I asked you if he's in cognitive decline.
If you pulled tape from Joe Biden when he was a senator and compare it to today, if you take tape from early on in his first term as vice president, or take tape and at the end of his second term as vice president, and you compare it to today, do you observe with your own eyes a significant cognitive decline?
And the guy just couldn't get himself to go there.
And I was entertaining myself to doing it, but it's to me it's just so transparent and so obvious.
And I think that's why the world, especially the hostile actors, are uh are doing the things that they're doing.
They feel this is what it looks like.
The world looks like when a ma America abdicates its role on the world stage as as the world's leader.
This is what it looks like.
This is a void of American leadership.
So we need strength in the Oval Office, and uh, I'm very worried about what happens a year from now.
I mean, we've got $34 trillion in debt now.
I just don't know how bad it can get.
I can't predict that.
Anyway, Thomas, appreciate your call, ma'am.
Glad you're out there.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
Tina in California.
What's up, Tina?
How are you?
Well, I was listening to your uh interview with Jim Jordan yesterday, and he went on and on and on all about the Biden family corruption.
And it got to the point that all I was hearing was blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, because nothing's being done about it.
Oh, yes, there's a lot being done about it.
It has taken them.
Remember, they have not had any cooperation.
They wouldn't even they couldn't even get these suspicious activity reports.
They had to track down all of these show corporations.
They've been having a very hard time getting witnesses.
Uh, and now they have gotten to the point where they have enough evidence to bring in uh everybody associated with Joe and Hunter and uh James Biden, his brother, and and other partners in this Rosemont Seneca deal, and they have a lot of explaining to do.
And they have been subpoenaed, and now we're at that phase.
This is an official impeachment inquiry.
It takes time when people don't cooperate.
It takes a lot of time.
And and they have been, you know, slow but sh slowly but surely building their case, and now we're at the point where they have some questions to answer.
My guess is is they're gonna show up, plead the fifth because they're not gonna have good answers to these questions.
So I just I tend to disagree with you.
I think that you know, between James Comer, Jim Jordan, Jason Smith, I think they've done a good job.
I'll give you the last 20 seconds.
Well, I just wanted to say it seemed like it only took a couple of months to get Trump impeached.
That's why I'm so frustrated that it's taking so long to do anything about Biden and his family.
Let's not rush it, let's get it right.
And I think they're in the process of trying to get everything right, because God forbid they get one thing wrong.
The media will be all over them.
You know it, and I know it.
All right, hang in there.
I know it's hard.
You know, the wheels of uh justice go very, very slowly.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
Don't forget Hannity tonight, nine Eastern on Fox.
Uh Kaylee McEnaney in for me tonight, because I have an appointment.
