| What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi. | |
| Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked. | |
| Why? | |
| Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies. | |
| From Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries. | |
| This is Fiasco. | |
| Benghazi. | |
| What difference at this point does it make? | |
| Listen to Fiasco Benghazi on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. | |
| Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload. | |
| Hey, welcome back. | |
| It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. | |
| Miranda Devine, the brilliant columnist. | |
| You can read her column in the New York Post and... | |
| Also make sure you get her book, Laptop from Hell, a monumental book, Laptop from Hell. | |
| Good holiday present, especially if you want to rile up some relatives, some Biden supporters. | |
| Get the book and hand it to them. | |
| And read her column in the New York Post. | |
| Miranda Devine, how are you doing? | |
| Hey, Mark, great to be with you. | |
| Hey, um, talk to me about Elon Musk for a moment. | |
| You wrote about him the other day. | |
| Now so it looked like he retweeted this awful anti-Semitic uh tweet and then said it's true. | |
| And uh but what is the real deal? | |
| And it looks like there is an effort uh from the deep state, the swamp to get rid of Elon Musk. | |
| What do you think? | |
| Oh, 100%. | |
| That that's what they want to do. | |
| This Media Matters um uh hatchet job on Twitter, uh well, X as it's now called, and Elon Musk um was just that. | |
| I mean, Michael Schellenberger um in with with his group tried to replicate what Media Matters did where they had, you know, horrible neo-Nazi or Nazi um tweets alongside ads from Apple and Oracle and places and just couldn't find it. | |
| It it doesn't it didn't happen. | |
| And so whether or not Media Matters just um manipulated things to have a you know one in a million opportunity to to pretend that it's happened all the time or whether they completely made it up, we don't know yet. | |
| But it is definitely uh a political operation to take down Twitter, which is the last free speech platform available uh, you know, really in the world, mainstream free speech uh social media platform. | |
| Um, and they want to take it out before the election because of course before the 2020 election, look at how useful Twitter and Facebook and all the other social media platforms, Instagram, you know, YouTube, etc. | |
| Um, they all censored so much, but I mean I know from my point of view, they censored our story about Hunter Biden's laptop, which was very damaging to Joe Biden at the time. | |
| And we know polls show um after the fact that enough Biden voters would have changed their vote to change the outcome of the election. | |
| So that's what those social media platforms were doing, and they were doing it at the behest of you know Twitter was the FBI. | |
| The FBI uh went in and pre-bunked our story knowing that it was coming. | |
| Um and uh, you know, that seemed to be happening at Facebook and the other social media platforms as well. | |
| So now Twitter is not reliable. | |
| X is not reliable for them. | |
| Elon Musk is a wild card. | |
| They've tried very hard to take him down in a number of ways. | |
| They've uh, you know, their Wall Street friends attacked Tesla. | |
| Um they've I think there are something like four lawsuits against him federal uh I think they're all federal lawsuits, you know, for not hiring enough foreign workers and a few other things. | |
| I mean maybe that you know I'm told by somebody know these are legitimate cases but it does seem a bit of a coincidence that you know after he bought Twitter um all hell broke loose and he's now public enemy number one. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Miranda Devine, you wrote the book Laptop from Hell, the laptop that would have turned the election. | |
| The cover-up of the story, even removing the New York Post from Twitter. | |
| And we didn't even know the half of it at the time. | |
| You know, what we didn't know, we now know, thanks to the Republicans taking back the House, that the 51 former intelligence officials who wrote that dishonest letter five days after our story, pretending that our story and the laptop were Russian disinformation, when they hadn't even looked at it and it wasn't. | |
| And they gave that to Joe Biden. | |
| We now know that that was orchestrated by a guy called Mike Morrell, former CIA acting director, who was on a promise to become Biden's CIA director. | |
| That's what he thought anyway. | |
| And he organized it. | |
| He testified to one of the House committees. | |
| And at the prompting of Antony Blinken, who is now the Secretary of State, but was then the senior advisor to the Biden campaign, who called him after our story came out. | |
| And, you know, we don't know exactly what he said because Morrell's cagey, but he planted the idea in his head to get this letter written, and then followed up with a story from USA Today, ridiculous story, lying story from anonymous sources, claiming that, you know, our story again was Russian disinformation and laptop. | |
| And so it was obvious what Antony Blinken wanted. | |
| And Mike Morrell delivered with 50, they're mostly CIA directors. | |
| And in the emails and the communications that the House committee discovered, that Mike Morrell was sending to his colleagues, were, you know, the admission that he was doing this to give, to get, because he wants Biden to win the election, doing it to give him a talking point at the final debate against Donald Trump, which he did. | |
| He used it to get out. | |
| It was his get out of jail free card. | |
| And, you know, we'd already been, as you say, censored by Twitter and Facebook. | |
| The New York Post account was locked. | |
| That slowed them up and that stopped the reach of our story. | |
| But the killer blow was the CIA people coming out and saying it was Russian disinformation. | |
| That meant no other media organization was going to follow it up. | |
| It was completely debunked. | |
| It was completely discredited in their eyes. | |
| I remember Jeff Zucker at CNN um Project Veritas had a had a a mole inside their newsroom meetings and Jeff Zucker told all his um editorial managers don't follow up on the New York Post you know story which was a huge bombshell don't follow up on it it's it's all debunked it's already been out there it's not true. | |
| So so that was why our story just got killed. | |
| And Donald Trump's on trial for fraud. | |
| It should be the other way around, shouldn't it? | |
| Well, as usual, it's what the Democrats do. | |
| They accuse their opponents of what they are guilty of, and it's classic projection. | |
| And, you know, the idea that you've got Jack Smith who's investigating Donald Trump for misuse of classified information, and yet we hear that Robert Herr, who's spent, I think, a quarter of the money that Jack Smith has, and there's been no leaking from his special counsel operation. | |
| He's supposedly investigating... | |
| Joe Biden for his mishandling of classified information which is much more extensive and much more egregious because it dates from his Senate days and he was he was not president when he was um you know squirreling away these classified documents in his office in his messy garage in Delaware where Hunter and his mates could could stumble on them or or find them um and uh and yet now we hear that that that Joe Biden's going to be getting off scot free. | |
| Not that we're surprised, but it's just such a um, you know, a a dual system of justice. | |
| Hey, uh Miranda Devine, you mentioned the uh USA Today. | |
| What happened to that paper? | |
| That used to be a cute little paper you get at the airport or uh in a motel. | |
| It's now the most slanted left-wing crazy newspaper. | |
| What happened to them? | |
| You know what I think happened. | |
| I think that um when the internet came along and sort of destroyed the um the financial basis of of newspapers around the country. | |
| Um a lot of a lot died, but in a lot of regional papers and a lot of smaller papers got taken over. | |
| Um and and I don't exactly know if it was a concerted effort, but I and I haven't looked into it. | |
| But that would be my gut feeling. | |
| Um, because they're such an instrument of the left now, and they're so useful. | |
| And and not just of the left, but of the intelligence services. | |
| The intelligence services um, you know, have infiltrated a lot of the prestige uh mastheads. | |
| And I mean, we know, for instance, that there are um there are definite CIA plants who work at the Washington Post. | |
| What? | |
| And I I would And I mean that's been an ongoing like it I my father was a journalist way back when, and during the Cold War, he said it's just like common knowledge that spies are in newsrooms. | |
| Um and so I think that you know we're finding out about that now. | |
| And so you you just the the anonymous sourcing, particularly remember of Baron the Russian colo Russia collusion um hopes. | |
| We now know the CIA was uh working, or or certainly ex CIA five former directors were acting um to get rid of Donald Trump. | |
| So there's really some sort of malign influence there that uh was working against Donald Trump while he was president and is working against him now to ensure um that he doesn't uh win again. | |
| Yeah. | |
| So is that why the Washington Post yesterday had this massive article about uh the poor Hunter Biden, what a tough life he's led and uh trying to get sympathy for him. | |
| Isn't that hilarious, honestly? | |
| Um 5,000 words of just total soft scoping. | |
| And you know, I can tell who they spoke to um uh uh, you know, from from the Hunter Biden camp, and I know who they didn't speak to, and uh it was just um kind of breathtaking. | |
| In in there's a boilerplate paragraph that actually the the New York Times and the Washington Post and all their acolytes and and copiers um always put in there ever since they were forced kicking and screaming after the election to admit what they had denied before that the laptop was real and that you know they that these uh email messages were authentic. | |
| Um and uh they always put this paragraph in there though saying, oh, there's no evidence that Joe Biden had anything to do with it or you know that it helped his son. | |
| Well, um, you know, unfortunately their lies are not being listened to by the uh an increasing number of the American public because more and more polls um are coming out showing that um you know the American public does not believe that. | |
| I think there was one the other day that showed that um that 70% of Americans thought that uh Joe Biden had done something either illegal or unethical when it came to Hunter Biden's business deals. | |
| A new one's just come out now, about an hour ago, um, from it's a Harris poll saying 60% of Americans say Biden, quote, helped and participated in Hunter's corrupt business deals, including more than half of independent vo voters. | |
| So 60% do not believe the president when he says he knew nothing about his son hunters overseas business dealings. | |
| Wow. | |
| Well, great stuff. | |
| Uh Miranda Devine's book, Laptop from Hell. | |
| If you haven't read it, get Laptop from Hell. | |
| And make sure you read her columns in the New York Post. | |
| And you can follow her on uh X or Twitter or whatever we're calling it now. | |
| And uh brilliant stuff as always. | |
| Miranda Devine, thanks for being with us. | |
| Thanks so much, Mark, and happy Thanksgiving. | |
| Happy Thanksgiving. | |
| Take care. | |
| Uh oh, when we come back, we'll take some calls. | |

| Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit. | |
| We kill the ambassador just to cover something up. | |

| So uh hey, well let's take some calls. | |
| Let's go to um Brad in California. | |
| Brad, how are you doing? | |
| Hey, that's great timing on that advertisement. | |
| I was actually just thinking about doing that for my wife for Christmas, so thank you for reminding me. | |
| Perfect gift. | |
| Hey, um I I'm in California where uh Mr. Newsom is our governor, and um I I have this strange idea that Biden is gonna run and get to the Democratic Convention and then bow out, and they'll put Gavin in his place because we know Camel is not electable. | |
| They'll put Gavin in there. | |
| He's slick as anything, and uh, you know, they'll have some control over him because they're giving him that without making him run through the primary system. | |
| Well, they kind of like that primary system. | |
| If you took uh if uh Biden just uh did a what Lyndon Johnson did in 68. | |
| You just announced in January, February, I will not seek reelection. | |
| Then you got primaries. | |
| And then uh Kamala will run in the primaries and get wiped out. | |
| That gets rid of her. | |
| Uh Newsom can run. | |
| But usually the first vulture to circle doesn't get it. | |
| So uh you'll have a lot of people jump in. | |
| You'll have Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, but you'll get some governors from around the country jump in, and they'll do what they did last time. | |
| They'll let everybody run in a couple of primaries, they'll decide who they want, and then they'll tell everybody else to drop out. | |
| Remember, uh, after a couple of primaries, they decided they wanted Biden for whatever reason. | |
| And then in South Carolina, remember in one day they made everybody drop out of the race, Buddha judge, uh Bernie, uh LaWarren all in one day dropped out. | |
| You know, they're gonna say, well, Biden won it in South Carolina. | |
| Yeah, he won because everybody else got off the ballot. | |
| It was absolutely insane. | |
| Uh hey, coming up, we'll talk to uh Joe Concha, the great uh media reporter and uh critic. | |
| Uh lots to talk to him about. | |
| It's uh a couple days. | |
| Uh today's Tuesday. | |
| So two days to Thanksgiving. | |
| Uh you're gonna get to meet all those relatives again. | |
| You'll all get together. | |
| Uh it's a great, it's one of my favorite meals of the year. | |
| Uh if you could get rid of the relatives, it'd be a lot better. | |
| Most of them are okay, but there's always an aunt you can't stand and uncle you can't stand, and uh uh bring up politics. | |
| Wear your uh MAGA hat, your Sean Hannity shirt, bring your Sean Hannity book, uh just to get everybody riled up. | |
| It's uh it'll make Thanksgiving a lot more entertaining. | |
| When we come back, we'll talk to Joe Concha. | |
| Don't forget uh check out Hannity.com, always great stuff at Hannity.com. | |
| Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity, back in a moment. | |
| Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. | |
| Joe Concha, the great media reporter. | |
| Of course, you see him uh all over Fox News and uh read his columns, The Messenger, get his book, come on, man, a great book about Joe Biden. | |
| He and I are on Cudlow uh every week, number one show on the Fox Business Network. | |
| Joe Concha, how are you doing? | |
| Mark, you're like Mariana Rivera coming in out of the bullpen to save the day on the Sean Hannity show. | |
| So thank you. | |
| I I I was going to fill in, but uh that they said Simone's available. | |
| You gotta give it away wait a minute. | |
| This is not the story I got. | |
| Uh I was on my way leaving town. | |
| I got this call. | |
| Uh Sean's not feeling well. | |
| Can you I said, well, can't you get uh Joe Joe Concha's busy, can't do it. | |
| Oh, that's funny. | |
| Yeah, well, that that is actually true. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Neither here nor there. | |
| I will take uh I will take the reins next time if we ever run into this emergency situation, but I've been listening, and the uh the audience I'm sure is happy that you're here. | |
| So what do you want to talk about more importantly? | |
| Uh hey, tell me about this Pete Buttigieg, this wormy little guy. | |
| Remember Buddig put together some sort of fake military experience, and then remember he pretended to write his bike to work but got caught faking it. | |
| And uh what's the latest with Buddha Jit? | |
| Now this friend of his? | |
| A friend of his child porn, you know, they've known each other for many decades. | |
| Uh they're they're they're close uh and you know it's I'm I'm gonna give Buddha Jej a pass here only because he can't be responsible for what a friend of his has been doing. | |
| Uh so it's it's a it's a taughty thing. | |
| Anything involving child porn, obviously is something that you know you don't want to be within a hundred miles of, but mm, just because Buddhizes knew the guy that doesn't make him guilty by association. | |
| Yeah, but didn't he deny knowing the guy? | |
| Uh he distanced himself like any politician would. | |
| Let's put it that way. | |
| But do I know the extent of their friendship? | |
| I mean, as recently as 2019, you know, he the they he said that he was a close friend, yes, uh, but you know, that was a couple of years ago. | |
| But i it regardless. | |
| Uh all I care about is if Buddig, you know, if if the planes are gonna be flying on time uh during this Thanksgiving, because every time we've gotten to a holiday with this guy as transportation secretary, every minimum, he was um the guy who couldn't fill a pothole in South Bend, Indiana, then he gets chosen to be head of uh Department of Transportation, uh, and it's been just a disaster since with the supply chain problems, problems, crisis. | |
| Uh he goes to maternity leave for a couple months, even though you know, do you really need a couple months when you didn't have the baby? | |
| I don't know. | |
| That's just me. | |
| Uh and then obviously what we've seen in airports every Thanksgiving and Christmas, it's in a disaster. | |
| So that's all I care about is that this is a guy who's gonna finally start doing his job if he can't even do the job, because obviously experience wasn't something he came in with when it came to transportation. | |
| Hey, uh Joe Concha, there's this dirty wormy uh website, Media Matters. | |
| Uh founded uh Hillary Clinton helped found the thing and uh George Soros types all donated money in it. | |
| It used to be a big deal million years ago, but it it's meant nothing recently. | |
| But uh Elon Musk is suing Media Matters, this dirty little left-wing hit job site. | |
| Well, what's the deal with that? | |
| So what happened was as far as what Musk is saying and what Twitter is saying, and it's probably true because these are just some of the worst people on the planet. | |
| These are folks, media matters who are smear merchants, who just their sole goal is to try to squelch and destroy conservatives as much as possible, get them canceled, and you had these advertisers who are still just naive and stupid enough to believe a Media Matters report that said that their brands were next to uh Nazi and anti-Semitic type of content on Twitter. | |
| But what Media Matters did, I don't want to go into the weeds too much, was they they created all these fake accounts and then they manipulated this algorithm to make it look like Apple or IBM uh their ads were right next to uh Nazi or third uh you know uh anti-Semitic com uh uh uh content. | |
| So uh Musk has a very good lawsuit here, I think. | |
| He certainly has the money, right? | |
| Uh where he could go the distance with this, and uh it would be a great day in this country if Media Matters was no more. | |
| I'm all for free speech, and I I don't like canceling so much, but this is an evil organization, as Elon Musk has called them. | |
| Uh and and they deserve everything they got coming to them. | |
| Uh, because when you make up news and make up reports and and hurt this company's bottom line uh by ta advertisers running from them because they think something's happening that actually isn't, uh that they deserve everything they're about to get. | |
| Yeah, but you know, years ago and they'd go after you, you'd get bombarded, you get 10,000 emails, so you get uh they take bombard your Twitter, your everything. | |
| Now when Media Matters goes after you, it doesn't even show up in the Google alert. | |
| I they don't mean anything to me anymore. | |
| True, true. | |
| Uh in amongst themselves, they're they're not as big of a deal as as they used to be. | |
| But now you got all these other so-called media reporters, right? | |
| And media sites that aggregate their stuff. | |
| So maybe if it stays on media matters, you don't hear anything about it. | |
| Once it ends up on other sites, other more prominent sites, then it has an impact. | |
| I I know firsthand uh that they not just me, but any conservative out there, they have a whole team of people that just monitors their social media and their alerts all day just to find something that they could take out of context that they could then write about and try to hurt hurt you with. | |
| So uh yeah, they're not as big of a deal, but they got a lot of friends in media, unfortunately, starting with CNN, by the way, uh, who just basically aggregates what whatever they say and it's a whole bowl of wrong. | |
| Yeah, these are like amateur uh reporter. | |
| What did Dan rather call them? | |
| Uh amateur reporters at home in their pajamas. | |
| Well true. | |
| Everybody can call themselves a journalist now if they have a Twitter account and they hate watch Fox, then they then they're then they're reporter. | |
| The bar's been lowered just slightly. | |
| Hey, I like to hate watch MSNBC. | |
| Boy, that Jen Saki, she really fits in there. | |
| She is really terrible. | |
| She uh the funny thing is, and this is what drives me nuts. | |
| Rachel Maddow calls herself a journalist. | |
| And Saki says, No, I'm not an opinion person, I'm a journalist. | |
| Truth. | |
| And then she allows this New York representative, this Congressman Dan Goldman, to go on there and call for Donald Trump, because he's such a threat to democracy, not to be defeated. | |
| It's fine if you say that. | |
| He he says Donald Trump should be eliminated. | |
| What else am I supposed to ascertain from eliminated, right? | |
| Uh, because this is a former president and uh obviously leaving by a country mile for the GOP nomination, and he's saying, Well, we gotta he's gotta be eliminated. | |
| I can guarantee you, if any Republican says that about any Democrat that they need to be eliminated. | |
| Remember what happened with Sarah, you know, where she she had you know, she said, We're targeting these districts to win uh for for the win back for the GOP, and she was blamed for the shooting of Gabby Giffords just for saying something as benign as that. | |
| So that that's that's where we are at this point. | |
| You got Saki allowing Goldman to say this on her show, and then she even promotes it on Twitter, and then you got Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, who did a lot, by the way. | |
| Trump really should send them like a thank you card uh or a bouquet or something. | |
| Because remember in 2015, 2016, Trump was on there like every week, and they couldn't kiss their butt his butt more if they tried. | |
| And then once he got elected, then the audience turned on him, so now they've been trying to overcompensate back to show how much they hate Trump, so to speak, even though he used to go to Mar-a-Lago, you know this, like every year for vacation. | |
| Uh, you got you got Joe Scarborough saying that if Donald Trump is elected, not only will he jail his opponents, because what president would ever do that, Joe Biden, but he's even saying that he will execute his opponents. | |
| Like he's gonna start ordering firing squads to, you know, Adam Schiff. | |
| It's so ridiculous. | |
| But that's what MSNBC is at this point, and they get it passed because they're so crazy. | |
| I guess people kind of ignore him at this point, if you look at their ratings anyway, Mark. | |
| Yeah. | |
| Well, they say if you can't sell your candidate if there's no selling points, then instead you talk about what awful thing will happen if the other guy's elected. | |
| The problem with Trump, he was president for four years. | |
| So we know what he'll do. | |
| We know he's not gonna do anything like that. | |
| He never did that in the four years he was there. | |
| Precisely, and Joe Biden is doing that and his Justice Department. | |
| I mean, how many trials are going on with Trump? | |
| One, two, three, four, uh at last check, uh, and obviously 91 felony accounts. | |
| It's Donald Trump, you know, it all takes is one, right? | |
| Could end up going to jail. | |
| So Joe Scarborough is accusing Donald Trump of the very thing that this administration is doing. | |
| And you're right. | |
| They can't talk about how great the economy is in Biden on this, because it ain't going well, right? | |
| And inflation is still three times as high as it was when Joe Biden took office. | |
| And you can't talk about they they say gas prices are down a dollar fifty from their peak. | |
| Yeah, well, they're still a dollar higher than they were when before uh Biden took office. | |
| It was two thirty-nine, I believe, when Trump came in, and now it's still uh way too high at this point. | |
| We see what's happening in with crime, we see what's happening with the border and all these migrants, and it's choking city budgets, education scores at a 30-year low, the world seems like it's on fire because it basically is. | |
| So what what part of Joe Biden's record can Joe Scarborough or Jen Saki talk about? | |
| There's nothing. | |
| And that's why, and I heard somebody make a good point on this. | |
| You got Trump now beating Biden at every poll. | |
| At first we were told they're outliers. | |
| Oh, it's just one poll. | |
| Now it's like 11 straight polls, and and he's beating them. | |
| And if you remember back in 2016, there wasn't one poll that told you that Donald Trump was going to beat Hillary Clinton. | |
| So if if he won when he wasn't even winning those polls, can you imagine what the real number Mark you talk about this is Poe Biden at this point when you know he's like cottage cheese. | |
| He's gonna get worse before not a fine wine. | |
| That we do know, Mark. | |
| Hey, uh Joe Consta, you always check that Joe Biden's schedule. | |
| Tell people what his daily schedule looks like. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Well, he had one thing on his schedule yesterday, and that was the uh turkey pardon. | |
| Okay. | |
| That was today. | |
| Uh, and then that was yesterday. | |
| And then today he had one thing on his schedule, and that was to make remarks about how he's going to take on fentanyl, and he's gonna clean up the country as far as getting it out of our communities and so a hundred thousand people don't die, because you know, he's only three years late to this problem, a problem that he created because the border's so open. | |
| But then afterwards, um, he's going to Nantucket again. | |
| He's staying at a 34 million dollar home. | |
| Imagine this. | |
| This home is worth twice as much as the judge of New York's as Mar-a-Lagos were. | |
| So we'll won't place like so 13 acres, 34 million. | |
| Uh this he's not going to Scranton, right? | |
| He's the blue-collar guy who would think we'll go to Scranton and spend Thanksgiving at you know, middle class home somewhere. | |
| Nope. | |
| Uh he's going to Dantuckett. | |
| Six-day weekend uh for uh the president who has spent 40% of his presidency on vacation to this point. | |
| So that's why when people say, well, you can't be in the oval office for another four years. | |
| I mean, it's a hard job. | |
| Not for Joe Biden. | |
| It ain't it barely works. | |
| I mean, what other job can you work on the you're on vacation 40% of the time and expect to make things better where you work? | |
| I think it's a pretty simple question to ask. | |
| Hey, war in the Ukraine, unbelievable, terrible war in uh the Middle East, is and he's nothing on the schedule except taking a picture. | |
| Nothing on the schedule. | |
| Unbelievable. | |
| Yeah, just show me an effort, and I might respect you a little bit. | |
| I mean, say what you will about Donald Trump. | |
| Uh you always got an effort, and and as far as the press saying that he uh Donald Trump's the biggest threat ever to the fourth estate. | |
| That guy did 35 solo press conferences, his final year in office. | |
| Joe Biden's done one this year. | |
| Right? | |
| That's what I'm saying. | |
| Uh so you get all these journalists, you got access, you got a guy who talked a lot. | |
| I think you'd like that, but uh, you know. | |
| Hey, if you want a good book about uh Joe Biden, get uh Joe Concha's book called Come On Man. | |
| It's a great book. | |
| You can get that. | |
| Uh read his columns in The Messenger. | |
| Uh follow Joe Concha on Twitter and uh watch him all over Fox News. | |
| Joe Concha, thanks for being with us. | |
| Thank you, Markabian. | |
| Henry tonight, nine o'clock with Judge Sine, filling in for Sean. | |
| Oh, okay. | |
| Watch that tonight, Hannity, nine o'clock. | |
| Thanks for being with us. | |
| Uh we'll take some calls in a minute. | |
| 800, 941 Sean is the number. | |
| 800 941 Sean. | |
| Uh check out Hannity.com. | |
| Always great stuff there every day. | |
| Hey, we got time for a call. | |
| Let's go to um uh Pat in Texas. | |
| Pat, how are you doing? | |
| Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show. | |
| Thank you, sir. | |
| How are you today? | |
| Good. | |
| So I I was born at West Point while my dad was stationed there. | |
| And back in the 70s, I got to meet the hostages that were taken in Iran. | |
| Wow, yeah. | |
| It was an incredible experience. | |
| But I know we're not supposed to negotiate with terrorists, so why the heck would we be trying to force another country to negotiate with terrorists? | |
| Yeah, I agree with you. | |
| I don't like this deal at all. | |
| Uh apparently the Biden administration pushing it like crazy. | |
| Uh Netanyahu uh moments ago, they're meeting in Israel. | |
| They're discussing it, said that uh Biden has uh bettered the deal for Israel, uh added hostages to it. | |
| Uh he's being very nice to Biden. | |
| Uh I don't know. | |
| I'm sure that's in exchange for a lot of stuff. | |
| Uh Israel needs a lot of help from the U.S. as far as weapons, ordinance, uh missiles. | |
| You know, that iron dome they protect Israel with needs a certain type of missile, which apparently is uh there's not enough of them in the world right now. | |
| Biden slowed down production of them when he took office, so that's not good. | |
| Uh they're trying to make them as fast as they can. | |
| So that now is gonna depend on Biden for a lot of stuff right now. | |
| So that's why he's going along with this. | |
| Part of the deal, apparently that they're working out when the when it comes to the release of hostages, they want it to be women and children first. | |
| Uh Hamas 50 hostages. | |
| Word is they're trying to up that to 90 hostages that they'll release. | |
| But Israel, they're talking about having to release two, three hundred. | |
| So we'll see what the deal is when they announce it. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Uh anyway, we're just about out of time. | |
| It's Thanksgiving. | |
| Uh tomorrow is Wednesday. | |
| Thursday is Thanksgiving. | |
| It's a day where you get together. | |
| You ever watch that show, Blue Bloods? | |
| It's so unrealistic. | |
| I love the show Blue Bloods. | |
| It's so unrealistic. | |
| He's the police commissioner. | |
| His father's the police commissioner. | |
| His daughter's the district attorney. | |
| But they have this big family dinner every Sunday. | |
| And then joke around. | |
| There's no fights. | |
| There's no arguments. | |
| I don't know. | |
| That's not a real. | |
| Thanksgiving, you need a fight. | |
| You'll fight about politics. | |
| And don't pull your punches. | |
| Rile them up. | |
| Hey, check out my Instagram. | |
| There's a picture there, a Trump picture. | |
| Thanksgiving Trump picture. | |
| Send that to everybody before the dinner. | |
| They'll come in on fire, ready to kill you. | |
| It'll be great. | |
| It'll make for a better Thanksgiving. | |
