When 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.
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.
A simple man.
Well, we're talking about Bill O'Reilly, Also the number one TV anchor for decades, the uh number one best-selling nonfiction author in the world.
Hey, you want a good present?
Good uh holiday present?
His new book is bestseller Killing the Witches, or any of the killing series.
I think you actually get the whole thing as one big holiday gift.
Uh just go to BillO'Reilly.com.
Bill O'Reilly, how are you doing?
You know, I want to tell everybody, Simona, that you are a ratings monster on WOR in New York City, the largest radio market in the world.
Um because, you know, when people have uh substitute host and Hannity, nobody knows where Hannity is.
We can't find him.
He's uh he's wandering around telling people, hey, I'm Sean Annity.
Um, but you're uh you're in for him, and everybody listening uh all over the uh country and in Canada should know what you've accomplished in New York.
Wow.
Well, coming from you that means a lot.
Um let me uh every so often I meet somebody who they brag that their family I'm talking about the book Killing the Witches now.
They their family came over on the on the Mayflower, and I picture these elegant people from the Gilded Age on the beautiful Mayflower.
Uh but if you read Killing the Witches, uh tell people what it was like to come over on the Mayflower.
Okay.
So in school, I remember, you know, when I was at St. Bridget's school in Westbury, Long Island, the nuns would teach history, but they didn't really know anything about history.
But they there was this kind of illusion of the pilgrims, and here they were, very well groomed, and they're floating across on the love boat.
It's exciting and new, and everybody's having a good time.
Maybe they stopped in Barbados before they got to Massachusetts Bay, you know.
And it in reality, we opened Killing the Witches with the Mayflower Voyage.
And the they called them the dissenters.
They weren't pilgrims to a hundred years later.
They didn't use the word pilgrims back then in the 17th century.
King James of England wanted them out.
They were fanatical Puritan Protestants, they he wanted them out.
And basically, if they didn't get out, they were gonna have problems.
So a hundred of them went to Plymouth Man uh, England, and they got on this rickety old boat, the Mayflower, and they cast themselves into the North Atlantic.
It was so rough, so turbulent, and uh so oppressive that the hundred people, sixty-six days on the ocean, couldn't come on deck.
They had to stay in the state rooms below deck, five-foot ceilings.
You can imagine this.
And they couldn't get fresh air, they were eating hard tack, They were drinking beer because the water was polluted, so they were stoned half the day.
And and one guy said, I've had enough, I'm going on deck.
He runs up to the deck, and within two minutes, he's in the ocean.
He gets blown overboard.
And miraculously, and we use that word literally, there's a rope hanging on the back of the Mayflower, and he grabs it and they pull him back in.
So it was a harrowing, painful, I don't know how these people did it.
And then they thought they were going to Virginia, but their current kind of took them to Massachusetts.
And they could all go, wait, wait, is this Virginia?
We thought it was warm there, you know, and it's 20 degrees.
And then they had their own problems.
And that's what led to the to the witch trials up in Salem, because they got out of a lot of them, Plymouth, Massachusetts, and um migrated north, and then the crazy stuff began up there.
But you know, when you're uh having Thanksgiving dinner and the pilgrims pass the gravy.
No, this was death.
This was incredibly difficult for these people to get here.
Well, get the book, Killing the Witches.
That's just the beginning of the book.
The rest of it is uh fascinating.
So uh let's talk about Israel.
This hostage deal that's imminent.
The cabinet meeting there now to discuss.
I don't like the sound of this at all.
A deal for hostages.
Not good, is it?
Um, you know, let me give you the world view on this because I think it's important.
No one really knows from hour to hour in the Gaza Strip or in Syria or in Iran or Iraq, what is going to happen.
It's not like you're dealing with rational people.
You know, people you can sit down and look them in the eye and say, let's get a deal, let's do this, let's do that.
That's not what this is all about.
This is all emotion in the people who hate Israel, all right.
Their word means nothing.
So I do believe there will be a window where some of the hostages will come out in return for food and other things going into Gaza.
But when it happens, how it happens, impossible to predict.
Um the anti-Semitism popping up on college campuses.
Uh shocking to everyone.
Hey, you went to Harvard.
You even telling by that anymore?
Uh this is ruined the reputation of Harvard and other schools, hasn't it?
It's devastating to Harvard.
And I had a good good tenure there, have a master's degree in public administration from the Kennedy School at Harvard, but it is really devastating.
This anti-Semitism is worn out of ignorance.
Okay, that's number one.
Ninety percent of these kids on college campuses know nothing.
Nothing.
If I were to be debating them or interviewing them, because I wrote Killing the SS.
If you want to know why Israel's sitting there, you read Killing the SS.
Okay, that's the book you read.
And there's no two sides to it.
The United Nations had to find a state for Jews.
They had to, because so many of them were murdered during World War II.
They had to be a safe place.
Turned out not to be a safe place because the Arabs hate them.
And that goes back thousands and thousands of years to killing Jesus.
You know, I'm a historian.
I wrote these books on purpose to lay a foundation of knowledge.
These college kids today, they don't know anything.
They know nothing.
And so they live in a bubble, a progressive bubble, where Israel is a fascist country and it's persecuting the poor Palestinians, and they are poor, these Palestinians.
They have nothing.
But billions and billions of dollars had flowed into Palestine, into Gaza, into the West Bank, and it's all Been stolen by the terrorists who run the place.
So you think the college kids know that?
No.
Do you think they know that any Arab living in Gaza could become an Israeli citizen with all the rights that entails?
Do you think they know that?
No.
They don't know anything.
And that makes it, you know, depressing as well as I'm furious about it because these people should not be uh out there doing what they're doing.
And they get these uh the latest is Susan Sarandon publishing this thing of this anti-Israel anti-Semitic about Susan Saranda.
I had her on the um, oh, I don't know, twelve, thirteen years ago, and it was about police brutality.
And Susan Sarana was railing against the American law enforcement community and mass and saying how bad they were.
I just carved her up.
Okay.
I basically said, look, you're generalizing about a uh group of people who make far less money than you do being in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, okay, and putting their lives on the line, and most of them are good, courageous people, and you're just maligning them.
After the interview, she was so angry.
I mean, she and I and I just stared her down, you know, because that's how much respect I have for Susan Sarandon.
So when you hear these movie stars do this kind of stuff, they live in the same bubble the college students live in.
They don't deal with anybody who has an opposing point of view.
All their friends tell them what they want to hear, and so they go blithery through life knowing nothing.
And and that's the truth.
You know, if you watch uh CNN, MSNBC, if you want to torture yourself, the coverage has been so hostile to Israel, and uh they just don't bother to ever tell you about the horrors that Hamas has pulled off.
Uh how do they get away with that?
Well, that's a different thing now.
So the college kids and the movie stars, that's one crew.
The media crew is different.
Now, I'm gonna dispute your statement a little bit, Simone.
Don't get nervous there.
CNN's hard news coverage has been okay.
Yeah.
Okay.
But once they get to the panel, then they go back left.
All right.
MSNBC, forget it.
Forget it.
They are working for money.
They know what they are required to say on that network.
And they say it.
I hate to make this comparison, but it's true.
It's a lot like what happened to Fox in that uh machine voting machine thing.
These people on MSNBC know they have to stay in a certain ideological realm.
They cannot depart from it.
So if the progressive left thinks that Israel's a fascist nation, that's what they're going to say.
It's about money.
Well, uh Bill O'Reilly, great talking to you.
Now if you want a great Thanksgiving present, Christmas present, get the new book, Killing the Witches.
If you want a really nice present, don't you have uh like a whole bundle all the books together?
Yeah, we got all thirteen on BillOrilly.com, Christmas Hanukkah store, and it it is designed to save everybody money.

Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked, why?

One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.

Hey, welcome back.
It's the Sean Hannity Show, Mark Simone here for Sean.
You know, uh on Saturday, October 7th during Shabbat, and at the end of uh uh the Sukkot holiday, Israel struck by a massive, devastating, barbaric terrorist attack by Hamas.
The IDF has expanded ground operations in Gaza.
Successful so far.
Uh but the IDF has opened a humanitarian corridor to allow Palestinian civilians to evacuate northern Gaza, and they reported they've destroyed now more than a hundred and thirty terrorist tunnels.
Secretary of State Blinken has made several trips to Israel to reaffirm U.S. support.
Israeli government reports that more than 200,000 Israelis have been displaced due to the war.
The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is on the ground right now, providing critical essentials, food, medicine, other emergency supplies.
You can help.
Now to donate, please go to Hannity for Israel.com, Hannity for Israel.com.
Give as generously as you can and do what you can to help.
Go to Hannity for Israel.com, Hannity for Israel.com.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey, uh, I'm looking at the schedule.
The next Republican debate is December 6th in Alabama.
I think is that the News Nation debate?
Uh News Nation, yeah.
News Nation is a TV network that uh you'd have to be like a secret agent, a detective to figure out how to find this TV network.
Supposedly it's on somewhere.
And uh I think that's the one Megan Kelly.
Remember that name from the past?
Ghost from the past, Megan Kelly, and uh I'm forgetting who else.
Um Vargas, Elizabeth Vargas.
These are the two moderators.
You talk about a debate that nobody is gonna watch.
Nobody, and you got the candidates.
You got uh Vivek is in it, you got uh uh DeSantis, you got uh Nikki Haley, who many consider her the Republican Hillary Clinton.
Uh tricky Nicky, they call her now.
Uh who else?
You got uh uh I'm forgetting somebody.
Well, oh, Chris Christie, yeah.
Uh Donald Trump calls them all milk.
One of them is three percent, one of them's two percent, one of them's one percent.
Trump with a commanding lead, just a devastating lead over everybody.
And if you look at the national polls, the real, even the fake rigged public polls, Trump a huge lead over Biden, even in younger voters, even in younger voters.
Let's take some calls.
Let's go to uh, hey Robert in Texas.
Welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
Yes, sir.
Yes, Robert, what'd you want to say?
Yeah, I'm gonna ask you a question.
How come every time the federal government rules against the government?
Like when they uh censored the First Amendment life with people.
How come the courts don't find these people that do it?
Well, it depends on the courts.
You know, you got uh the local courts, many of them uh you see what's going on with Trump.
That local Fulton County, Georgia court, this crazy judge in Manhattan, left-wing kooks, so you can't uh trust to get a fair hearing.
Hey, yeah, in Fulton County, Georgia.
That's the same place where they locked up Martin Luther King and they were going to throw away the key.
He would have died there in that jail if JFK, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, if they didn't get on the phone yelling and screaming, Martin Luther King never would have got out of there.
So the same place where they're going after Donald Trump.
And in Manhattan, this kooky, crazy left-wing nut of a judge charging him with uh what's an everyday practice in real estate.
Anyway, we'll talk more about this and we'll take some more calls.
1-800-941-Shawn, 1-800-941-Shawn.
Uh it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity, back in a moment.
At 9 p.m., do you know where your president is?

It's time now for check in with Linda.
Let's see.
If I get yelled at, how am I doing?
I mean, I think you're fabulous.
I mean, other than not answering my text messages, which drives me, you know, so you mean I'm I'm on the ear.
What am I supposed to do?
When I have to page someone else to tell you to look at the text messages that I'm sending you, you know, I get a little bit edgy.
Just like a smidge, not like a lot.
Just a smidge.
Just enough to let you know, hey, look at my messages.
I'm telling you something.
All right.
Uh you know, I'm subtle.
Hang on, I think.
Like a bullhorn.
Let me look.
Uh dear Mark, what are you wanting to do?
Well, now you read them, you know.
No, it says uh uh Jordan Subpoena's assistant U.S. attorney Wolf over Hunter Biden probe.
Well, that's good news, right?
That's uh I tell you, the way you read that with such enthusiasm.
I think America is going to be out of their chairs about that news.
Well done, sir.
I gotta say, you know?
It's more like uh Jordan has subpoenaed.
You know, like that, like you really get into it.
All right, let me try it again.
Jordan Sabpo's assistant U.S. attorney Wolf over Hunter Hunter Biden probe.
I always laugh, you know, when you when you first listen to people that are like never been on the air before, and then they get on the air for the first time and like people think it's really easy or whatever, and they start reading, you know, super funny things, whether it's you know, uh, oh gosh, I don't know, the the paper, you know, they're reading an article, and it's like the driest, most ridiculous thing ever.
It's like oh, you're like, oh dear lord, let me help this person, you know, please.
I'll read it like Joe Biden.
Where am I?
What am I now see the best way to do?
Oh, my books.
Um of the political players and some of the let me ask rhetorical question.
No, I'm anyway.
That is my favorite of all time, Joe Biden saw by far.
Although, I will say, his latest disgusting perverted comment toward a six-year-old asking about her ears two days ago, definitely in the running for most despicable.
I just um Well, it's more stupid than despicable.
No, it's despicable.
You just love your ears.
I love them.
They're really cool.
What's your name?
Catherine, what a beautiful name.
That's my mommy's name.
Well, nice to see how old are you?
17.
Uh, check the record.
His mother's name isn't Catherine.
He just says that then, whatever your name is.
That's what I'm saying.
Whatever your name is.
But it's just weird.
My mommy, my mommy's name.
Shut up.
You're 81 years old.
Knock it off.
Yeah, first of all, as a guy who does occasionally go up to strange women.
Those are not women.
Those are babies.
No.
No.
No, but I would never say to a I might say, Oh, it's a beautiful dress.
I love those earrings, but I've never said to anybody, Oh, it's that's some set of ears you got there.
They're so cool.
I've heard of uh weird.
He's just a very odd.
He's just an odd duck, man.
I mean, do you remember when he went to you?
What was it?
Ukraine.
I think he was in Ukraine.
It just landed and it was the beginning of the war.
And one of the women is there, and and he goes, Oh my God, your eyes.
Okay, like the whole press corps like, uh, okay, that's weird.
All right.
Right, no, no, no.
Your eyes, I could see that.
You know, beautiful eyes.
I love your eyes.
Not in the middle of a press, you know, report on you know the uh culmination of this meeting where everybody's there to talk about the war and the oppression of the Ukrainian people under the strong arm of Russia, which was there with that that's his whole message, right?
As we funnel billions of dollars into that country, unaudited, unoverseen.
Yeah, but you gotta remember you did uh you got a guy with an IQ of 95, maybe.
Uh he's just an old-fashioned politician.
You just compliment people, you try to charm people.
It's good when you're 40, but when you're 97 years old and you look like a monkey.
Do you want to hear the eyes cut?
Ethan actually has it.
He pulled it for me.
How do you say in Spain, you really all those beautiful eyes?
Your goal is to be very impressive.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Yeah, it's a really well done audio cut for those of you who Oh my God.
I just said to Ethan, I'm like, man, this is a terrible cut.
Those of you who couldn't hear it.
What he said was in my defense, it's just as intelligible and you know exactly what he said when he usually talks about it.
I don't know who that was.
I don't know what that was.
It's not like a police call from 1928.
I have to say, news of the week, though, and we didn't talk about it too much just because there's so much news, but watching Blinken's face Lincoln's face as he called him a dictator.
Oh my god.
Yeah, but first of all, that was the first good thing Biden did.
That was the best thing he did.
Call him a dictator.
It's a Freudian slip.
You know, this is that moment.
This is that moment where you know you're not of sound mind because you're actually saying what you think.
Yeah, no, he is a dictator.
And Blinken, somebody should just get rid of this guy.
He's like a a fourth-rate bureaucrat, a babbling hack.
You know what he's like as a negotiator?
You ever hear you ever talk to me?
I'm I'm uh Anthony Blinken.
Well, because he's lying.
That's the problem.
Although, I will say, and I hate to say it because I do not care for him at all.
I'll just go on the record.
I he's a bad man.
But I did like the way that he spoke when he was in Israel and he was talking, it was like the second week into the after the attacks on October 7th.
He did not, you know, he did not tiptoe around what he saw.
No, he looked right at him.
Right at him, and he said, I'm uh uh uh You're a mess.
He's the guy, by the way, that disgusting one of the dirtiest tricks ever in an election that 51 intelligence chiefs to sign the letter saying that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation.
Blinken is the guy that put that together.
He's the guy that went to everybody and got him to sign.
He was involved in the dirtiest trick, dirtier than Watergate.
Yeah, no, he's a bad dude.
Yeah.
No question.
But him, Christopher Ray, you know, whether we're whether we're looking at, you know, Merrick Garland, you know, all of these people, they just they all work together, you know, in this cohesive unit in an effort to protect their goal, which is to continue the destruction of America with all of their various, you know, arms of the government that they've now weaponized against, you know, the average person so that they can bring us down.
I mean, we have a land invasion, we're we're extracting money from American people to pay for illegal immigrants and wars we have nothing to do with in Ukraine, billions upon billions of dollars, but then we have an ally like Israel and we can't figure it out.
We got people screaming from you know the river to the sea.
I mean, it it it's complete mayhem.
Yeah.
This is what they want.
And they're doing a great job.
Uh hey, did you see the picture I put up of the Trump Thanksgiving picture?
I will go now.
It's on Instagram, right?
Mark Mark Simone and Y seat Instagram.
Uh sh uh, Ethan agrees.
Nothing agrees, what?
This will infuriate somebody.
This Trump picture, this Thanksgiving picture.
Ethan, you would agree.
It's really well done and really funny.
Okay.
Let's say Thanksgiving dinner.
Just take it off my Instagram.
Where did you get that hat?
Just send this to every relative.
So they come in foaming at the mouth.
This is the only way to deal with it.
You can say, I don't want to talk about politics, but they're going to talk about it anyway.
You can say, I'd rather not discuss it.
They'll talk about it.
So the only thing you can do, get them into the biggest rage you can get them into.
Uh send this picture to them first so they come in.
This is great.
Yeah.
This is great.
Where'd you get this, dude?
It's it's not a real picture.
It had to be slapped together.
Oh my gosh.
The hat, the hat's a little interesting.
I'm not real sure what's going on.
Is that like a pie plate upside down?
It's a pilgrim hat.
It's an old hat.
It's not a pilgrim hat.
Oh, it's close enough.
Come on.
Uh it's on my Instagram, Mark Simone NYC at Instagram.
Mark Simone NYC and Instagram.
Download it.
Send it to every relative before you show up.
Now, Linda, working uh for Sean Hannity with Sean Hannity, you must get a lot of arguments when you go to a party or somewhere.
What do you do?
Oh my gosh.
All the time.
You know, but my problem is I like confrontation.
So I enjoy I enjoy a good back and forth.
No, truly, and and anybody who knows me very well knows this.
I love when someone has a strong opinion.
Yeah.
I hate when they have absolutely no content, no sources, and no reason for why they believe it.
So for example, you know, one of the things that we've been seeing with the Hamas Israel thing, which is the thing that I can't, you know, everybody's talking about Thanksgiving and the holidays, and I'm like, all I could think about is all these little kids that look like my kids stuck in captivity under Hamas, scared for their next breath.
And I'm like, that's all I think about.
But you know, I I have these conversations with people about what's happening with Hamas in Israel, and they are so truly ignorant in the the most sincere def definition of that word, so ignorant of what's actually happening.
Yeah.
People to the point of saying, you know, people in our own government saying, oh, these videos are AI generated, this isn't real, this didn't happen.
You know, the um ambassador for Israel showed a screening to the UN yesterday of you know the torture that happened on October 7th and then the days that followed, and all the murders of the children and the women and the babies and the elderly and the animals, the puppies, the dogs, it's horrible.
And all these things.
And the person that didn't go was the head of the UN Assembly.
Could you imagine if this were 1942 and you had people marching students at Harvard marching, leave Hitler alone, leave Hitler alone?
Give me a.
I mean, it's such you know, Mark, it's such a great analogy because there's there's a part of me, you know, somebody posted yesterday on one of the platforms, I couldn't remember right now which one it was, but it was a picture of 1942, and there's a Nazi soldier, you know, with their uh gun pointed at a woman carrying her child, her back is to him, and he shoots her in the back and murders her and her child.
And then directly below it is a Hamas terrorist pointing a machine gun at two young girls who were in hiding, could teenagers.
He shoots one at point blank range, the other girl gets to her knees and begs for her life.
He laughs and then shoots her.
Wow.
And just remember, I gotta keep repeating this.
These animals, these terrorists, these Hamas terrorists, they want to wipe out all Jews, they want to wipe out all Christians, and they'd love to wipe out America.
So don't kid yourself about uh what's at stake here with these things.
And not and not to mention the fact if you look if here's the odd thing.
If you look at the protests that are happening in New York City, just look there alone.
You know, we had the march for the Jewish people, you know, last week on the Capitol Mall.
Thousands upon thousands of people showed up.
They marched peacefully, quietly.
They wanted their voices heard in a respectful way that honored the hostages, honored the tradition of their culture, and you know, and to honor America and say, please stand with us.
You know, this is a serious time.
You know, we can't this cannot happen again.
Nazi Germany cannot exist here.
And then the next day, they got a Palestinian march.
But instead, it's like it's like this road rage rally with all these lunatics coming in, they're spray painting the statues, they're climbing the fences, there's there's fights, they're attacking the cops, they're jumping on the cars, they're savages.
Yeah.
It's it's out of bounds.
And look what's going on.
I know people went to Harvard that are now lying, and they say they went to Hofstrap.
They're embarrassed.
They're embarrassed to say they went to the house.
It's it's completely insane.
And you got the president of Harvard coming out releasing this letter.
Like, I just don't get it.
I'm like, what part of this, you know, educational environment is is so completely hell-bent to cowtowing to the wokeness of the left.
This isn't wokeness, it's racism.
This is anti-Semitism, and it needs to be stopped.
It's not hard to say.
No.
I don't get it.
Anyway, it's very easy.
We'll take a break.
Uh, when we come back, we'll take some calls.
