Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show.
Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas.
We're just a couple of days away.
I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean Hannity.
I'm a Fox News legal analyst, former uh defense attorney, trial attorney in California.
That was decades ago.
You can follow me, though, on X, formerly Twitter at Greg Jarrett.
That's two G's at the end of Greg.
Two R's and two T's.
Lots of uh doubles there.
Greg Jarrett.
And uh you can also read my columns on my own website, thegarrett.com.
All right, it's a brand new hour.
We're gonna be taking some of your calls.
Really appreciate some of the comments and questions we've had so far.
Let me remind you of the number.
Uh 1-800-941-7326.
Again, that's 1-800-941, S-E-A-N.
All right.
In a moment, I'm going to be talking to Joe Concha, who is a media analyst, Fox News contributor.
He's got a couple of great books.
Uh the newest one is upcoming.
It's called the Greatest Comeback Ever inside Trump's big, beautiful campaign, unburdened by what has been.
It unpacks the liberal media breakdown that really seems to have no end.
And you know what?
The liberal media may never get over Trump's comeback victory.
It began with utter disbelief and tearful post-mortems.
Then it gave way to anger and grieved rants against the American voters.
What idiots they are.
Then the meltdowns and recriminations eventually morphed into widespread panic.
And that is where we are today.
You see, the legacy media there were all in for Democrats and Kamala Harris.
And without reticence, they vented their spleens against the evil orange man Donald Trump.
He's a racist, a fascist.
He's a dictator, he's Hitler.
And his election they promised us would be the end of democracy in the last election ever held.
Some of them still believe it.
And the unhinged hysterical reaction among supposedly fair and objective journalists has really been quite breathtaking to behold.
They promised their readers and their viewers that Trump would never win.
He can't.
And then what he did, their audiences understandably abandoned them in droves.
Why?
Because they squandered their credibility.
They tossed away in the garbage any trust they might have had.
You think I'm kidding about that?
CNN's ratings, take a look at them.
They have cratered to an all-time low, suffering a 52% decline in prime time.
Those are their best shows.
Half the audience said, I'm out of here.
MSNBC's ratings have tanked more than 60% in prime time.
And the question is, can they survive and recover?
Well, let's put that question to my pal Joe Concha.
As I say a Fox News contributor, media analyst, his upcoming book, The Greatest Comeback Ever inside Trump's big beautiful campaign, unburdened by what has been, which is a facetious nod to Kamala.
Love the title, Joe.
You know, before I ask you the question, can the media recover from their own self-destruction?
Tell me a Bit about the book.
Well, thanks, Greg.
And yeah, we're well past, you know, Citizen Kane and Moby Dick.
Like you have to have a title now.
That goes on for a while.
I I couldn't resist the digs, and if you see the cover, you could pre-order the greatest comeback ever now.
You'll see that the photo that I really wanted to go with that I pushed our friends over at HarperCollins to run was not the Trump assassination attempt where he had the blood on his face and he's going fight, fight, fight, or any s kind of serious shot of Trump.
I wanted McDonald's.
I wanted that drive-thru.
I wanted Trump waving and smiling to a customer as they're leaving.
I said, That's the whole campaign right there.
So to answer your question, the book starts on May 11th, 2024.
What was that?
That was Trump's rally in Wildwood.
And when I decided to write the book, I reached out to the Trump people.
I said, Hey, uh, I've never been to a Trump rally before.
I'm from New Jersey.
He doesn't really come here all that often.
Why would he?
Uh would love to attend one and just get a feel and talk to the folks there uh about this movement.
And they said, Okay, fine.
Uh, we'll arrange for transportation.
I'm like, oh, thank God, because I had an accuracy at the time that had like two hundred and five thousand miles on it, and means like a really weird sound when I want to put miles an hour.
So I'm like, good, they're gonna send an Uber or something.
Uh sure enough, uh, I had to meet Trump uh on his plane at LaGuardia Airport and uh got to sit right on the the great Trump plane and they served Wendy's, which I didn't see coming, but uh it was quite good.
Um and yeah, I I attended that rally, I attended the debate against Biden on June twenty-seventh.
Uh obviously then we had Biden drop out, we had two assassination attempts on Donald Trump.
We had Tomel Harris installed by the party that says they want to save democracy, so they literally went like full Soviet and just said, Okay, here's your candidate now.
And all the way up through the Madison Square Garden rally that was portrayed as a ode to Nazis, which was utterly ridiculous, and then obviously election night, Donald Trump wins every swing state, wins the popular vote, and then the meltdown you just described by the media uh begins, which has just been delicious to watch because as you said, these people don't deserve sympathy.
This wasn't oh we got it wrong.
They lied to the American people about Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
They lied about Kamala Harris and all of her flip-flops as far as policy positions, and now the just desserts are coming in, as you said, 50, 60, even some shows on MSNBC down 70 percent.
And I don't think they're coming back, Greg, because with all the options out there, radio shows like yours, podcasts like yours, Joe Rogan, Theo Vaughn, all these different places now where you can get the truth.
I have a feeling that these companies are gonna see a lot of consolidation, layoffs, and pay cuts, and we're already seeing that happen, Greg.
You know, if your upcoming book, the greatest comeback ever is anything like your last book, which was sensational.
Loved it through and through.
Then this one is, you know, it's gonna be another New York Times bestseller, no doubt about it.
Um MSNBC, Mika and Joe, you know, the morning show on MSNBC.
Um, they hadn't spoken to Trump in four years.
They hated him.
They called him every dirty name of the book.
Did so every day, day in and day out.
Then after he won, they you know, visited him down at Mar-Lago, and they bent the knee.
And if their Trump-hating viewers would be perfectly okay with that, then Mika and Joe, I think were surely mistaken.
Within days, nobody was watching their show anymore.
And they wondered aloud why.
And then they tried to defend themselves, and then they tried to reverse course.
Nothing is is working for them.
Are they two of the most clueless people in television news?
Oh, they're the most pious, certainly.
They're the most insufferable.
I'll give them that.
Remember Joe Scarborough, it's a great clip.
Maybe Linda can find it like in the next couple minutes or so.
Uh, but it's Joe Scarborough lecturing his viewers that this is the best Joe Biden we have ever seen.
And F you, if you think I'm not telling the truth here, I speak to him all the time.
I know this man has the cognitive abilities to be president and a great president.
Remember Nancy Pelosi even said that he should be on Mount Rushmore.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, let me interrupt you.
We have that clip.
We're gonna play it right now.
You know, I don't know if people knew this or not.
Biden used to be a hot hat.
Sometimes that Irishman would get in front of the reasoning.
Sometimes he would say things he didn't want to say.
This is and and I don't really you know what I don't really care.
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell you the truth.
And F you if you can't handle the truth.
Intellectually, analytically, is the best Biden ever.
Not a close second.
And I've known him for years.
The Brzezinski's have known him for 50 years.
If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it.
Unbelievable.
Take it from there, Joe.
Oh, he's lying.
Obviously, if you spoke to Biden on a daily basis, did you see that Wall Street Journal report that came out yesterday on Friday?
Oh, yeah.
50 sources talking about how he wouldn't even take phone calls from the head of the armed services committee, ahead of the Afghanistan withdrawal, uh to warn him like you don't want to do this the way you're doing it.
You're gonna depend on the Taliban for security at Kabul International Airport instead of using Bagram, this is bad.
And they couldn't even get Biden on the phone with this person.
That's how isolated he was.
Greg, he had nine cabinet meetings, full cabinet meetings in four years.
I mean, that is insane.
Trump had 25.
So, yeah, uh Scarborough was just saying that because look, he is a bad actor that you see at three o'clock in the morning on Skinemax.
That's Joe Scarborough, that's Mika Brzezinski, and good.
They're losing their audience, liberals hate them, conservatives hate them, and they go down to Mar-a-Lago.
Did you see Godfather too?
That's probably a rhetorical question.
Yeah, of course.
That one scene where the landlord is trying to fleece uh the old lady, and then it's a young De Niro, obviously, as uh as uh Corleone, and then once the guy realizes who you know the Corleone family is, he kisses their butt and says, you know, actually, I'm gonna reduce her rent.
There's not gonna be a ring.
Like he's he's falling over things, he's knocking over things like you know, and De Niro's just like standing there, kind of like smiling along, like, oh no, this guy's totally kissing my ring.
That's what they did, and they debased themselves even more.
So, oh, thank God that you had that clip because it's so worth just that on a loop, and it's it's worth it it's delicious.
It's priceless.
And and then I I I laughed out loud the other day when I read Donna Brazil's op-ed, I think it was in the Hill, um, calling Joe one of our greatest presidents ever, comparing him to FDR and his New Deal and Lyndon Johnson's great society.
Uh in but my favorite?
Jonathan Alter, the liberal journalist who said Joe Biden will be remembered as a great president mentioned in the same sentence as George Washington.
No.
Yeah.
Yeah, he said that uh in July.
And, you know, after he after Biden was forced out for mental incompetency.
Uh you can't make this stuff.
Those are words that people like Donna Brazil and Jonathan Alter and Joe Scarborough and so many others.
The list goes on and on and on.
Those are words that they will live to regret.
Uh but you know, the mainstream media they don't care at this point.
Now they're turning to Trump resistance.
They're they're picking up where they left off, aren't they?
Oh, it's so silly.
What's the latest narrative today?
Oh, right.
Elon Musk is actually the president.
He's running Trump.
See, when you say for eight years that Vladimir Putin is running Trump, and that obviously wasn't resonating, then you gotta find somebody else who's running Trump, like Elon Musk.
Oh, this unelected person, uh, he's actually running the country.
The same people who didn't care to ask over the last four years who's running the country when Joe Biden clearly his brain had turned to applesauce, and now you have this whole narrative.
You think Donald Trump is run by anybody ever?
No.
You think they'd learn that by now, and maybe, I don't know, explore why he won and what resonated and why Kamala Harris was the worst presidential candidate of our lifetimes instead they go back to resistance mode because it's All they know because they're not journalists, Greg.
They're activists and they're bad at what they do, too.
Thank God we work for Fox.
Like everybody else is going down 50, 60, 70.
We're up.
We're way up from where we were in the election because we have honest people that will give you the truth.
And oh, by the way, we don't act like a different person off the air than we do on.
I guarantee you, in the case of like Rachel Maddow, Jen Saki, Joe Scarborough, Jim Acosta, there's the TV persona, and then there's who they are in real life.
We're kind of the same people, like on and off.
I don't see any difference when I talk to you in a green room or when we're talking on the radio right now.
People appreciate authenticity.
Yeah.
You know, uh, I have to also laugh at how they decry a billionaire's involvement.
Elon Musk.
You know, the media is perfectly okay with billionaires like George Soros and Mark Cuban being involved in politics as long as it's the right politics.
Joe, if you can stick around for just a moment, we'll have you back on the other side.
Lots more to talk about with the great Joe Concha.
He's got a new book coming out.
Uh, the greatest comeback ever, sure to be a bestseller.

Back now with Joe Concha here on the Sean Hannity show.
I'm Greg Jerry.
You know, Joe, um, talking about the media bias.
Uh the New York Times, 10 days ago finally admitted that Biden created a border crisis that badly damaged the U.S. Isn't it interesting that they never really told their readers that for nearly four years and only after Biden lost?
Yeah, that's why I hear these meakulpas, Greg, and I'm like, no.
Apology not accepted.
Who's it?
Chris Siliza, I believe he was on on Friday on his podcast from his kitchen.
Uh formerly CNN.
And he said, you know, as a reporter, as a journalist, I wish I dug deeper and tried to find the real truth about Joe Biden's cognitive decline.
Like, dude, this is big.
You just have to watch and listen for the last four years.
This guy's shaking hands with the air, saying he's having conversations with foreign leaders that have been dead for years.
The fact he couldn't remember his cabinet member names, the fact that he's in Delaware.
He went to Delaware last week on Tuesday and didn't come back till Thursday, like in the middle of the week for like no apparent reason.
The evidence was overwhelming that this guy's brain turned apples off, and you don't have to dig or just listen and watch the guy right.
All right, Joe.
Thanks, buddy.
Take care.
Joe Chacha.
We'll be right back.
Don't go away.
Check out the show 24-7.
Download it to your iPod.
Be a head of the insider at Hannity.com.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity show.
I'm Greg Jarrett filling in for Sean.
We're taking your phone calls, and let's begin with this.
And I go back to my earlier remarks a couple of hours ago, in which uh I argue that Joe Biden throughout his presidency has really not been compass mentis, the Latin term that in simple language means that his mind had turned to mush, or as my pal Joe Concha said, applesauce brain.
In other words, he was mentally infirm.
Dementia, senility.
Well, I think we're just beginning to find out.
The Wall Street Journal penned a devastating expose on Joe Biden's diminished mental capacity dating back to his first day in office.
And it this thing was so well sourced by nearly 50 people who spoke on the condition of anonymity, but they all said the same thing.
It was a frightening window into a mentally absentee president.
And the staff concealed Joe's condition.
They put him in a bubble so that very few people, and especially the American public, could not see the mental decline.
Public appearances were scrapped.
Everything was carefully scripted.
They gave him childlike instructions where to enter and exit the stage.
You know, when he met with people, those people were given pre-approved questions.
They were cautioned not to deviate.
And, you know, Joe couldn't follow the scripted answers because he just wasn't mentally all there.
And I guarantee you, as I said before, that books will be written about this.
The biggest scandal, perhaps, in American political history, and the biggest cover-up by not just sycophants in the White House, but by the media that refused to ask simple penetrating questions by Democrats who lied about his condition and knew about it.
And, you know, there's a very interesting James O'Keefe undercover video.
Go to X and you can uh see it.
But the title of it is Joe Biden is dead.
I presume that means mentally uh unwell.
National Security Advisor inside the White House details Biden, quote, can't say a sentence.
Now I don't know if that's hyperbole.
It may be.
The qu my question is, was he competent?
Let's go to Tim in Montana, who joins us now.
Tim, what are your thoughts?
Any questions or comments?
Uh good afternoon, Mr. Jarrett.
It's a pleasure to speak with you.
Um quickly about uh Biden's mental decline, how generous of the media to finally come out and talk about this stuff when they've essentially given him four years, six years of campaign contributions by not reporting on it.
But what I really wanted to talk about today was Matt Gates, you know, this report and some of those allegations are pretty scathing.
Should he, could he, and should he file some Freedom of Information Act request to find out on whose behalf have over, say the last three or four decades,
funds been paid out of of that nice little slush fund that that the Congress and the Senate uses to pay off people who have been victims of sexual harassment, sexual assault, and sexual abuse by the people that we elect to go to Washington, D.C. to represent us.
Because I think that if our funds are paying these uh these uh payments out, I think we should all know about it, and we should know exactly which of these dirt bag politicians, regardless of party, are in there partying it up, have an orgies, acting inappropriately while we send them to do work for us.
Yeah.
You know, Tim, I that's a wonderful point, and such an underreported story about this, you know, incredible slush pump that was operated by Congress to, in exchange for money, force people to sign non-disclosure agreements, NDAs, to keep the sexual harassment and maybe sexual assault under wraps.
And, you know, these are the same people who are now jumping all over Matt Gates uh as a consequence of the ethics report that has now been released.
I think it's I think it's a great point.
I want to see it.
I want to know who committed these alleged offenses, if there's any truth to them.
And let's put it all in perspective, because I think there are a lot of those folks who are equally guilty who are members of Congress.
Let's go to Aaron in uh Colorado.
He joins us now.
Aaron, what are your comments or questions?
I have a comment and uh the absolute best Christmas idea present ever.
But with James O'Keefe and the Washington uh Wall Street Journal's post, does that not challenge the legality of every signature, especially on these pardons that Joe Biden has out there?
Yeah, I I mean discharged his office because his staff even says he's incapable.
Right.
Let's just take one example, the pardons today of you know, 37 of 40 people on federal death row whose sentences were they were not pardoned, they were commuted.
But all of the other uh pardons, there were sixty-five pardons so far by Joe Biden, more than sixteen hundred commutations.
The guy's trying to set the Guinness Book of World Records or Pardons and Commutations.
And there's more to come, I guarantee you.
But what if Joe Biden is not mentally competent?
You know, uh sometimes in a state disputes uh challenging the legality of a will or uh an estate trust over the lack of competency of uh the deceased,
um, you know, oftentimes you are required, at least in a court of law, to present utter oath testimony and sworn statements uh from those who observed and were close to the decedent to say that at the time he executed this particular will or trust document, he was not mentally competent.
So any challenge, for example, of these commutations and pardons over the competency of Joe Biden, um, you know, would require that kind of evidence to be presented.
But I think you're right.
I mean, as a lawyer, I would make the argument that maybe these are not legal documents if he was not mentally competent to properly execute it.
In other words, if he had no idea what he was signing.
And, you know, given the reporting, especially by the Wall Street Journal, one has To wonder how long has this been going on?
How serious is his suspected condition?
What is that condition?
Have his doctors, together with his family, been concealing what would be very damaging information solely for political purposes.
And now, of course, in retrospect, it seems utterly ludicrous that this guy and his family thought that he could run for re-election and serve another four terms.
I mean, and and the fact that this could unfold in such secrecy with such an elaborate cover up for so long.
Uh is really a condemnation of the executive branch of government and the legislative branch to the extent that members of Congress knew what was going on.
And you know, it I think it calls to question the 25th amendment that maybe this now needs to be seriously re-examined so that something can be done from a president who has suffered a mental decline and is no longer capable of fulfilling the executive function and
their duties as president of the United States.
Joining us now is Rick from Tennessee.
Hey Rick, how are you?
Hey, thank you for taking my call.
My pleasure.
Hey, I was uh I'm listening to your show, really like the show.
Thank you for all you do and Hannity and everything.
Um I'm with everything you're talking about, and I think we need to hell hold some people accountable, and there needs to be some accountability in the media and so on.
And those things we can do as well.
As what uh my question is, what can be done, and just like you were touching on with the 25th amendment, and what can be done in the future to prevent this from ever, ever, ever happening again in America.
Yeah, you know, the the interesting thing about the 25th Amendment, and I did some research and wrote about it in my book called Witch Hunt.
Um the 25th Amendment has some very interesting language and legislative history, and it basically uh means that you know, the cabinet can oust a president who is suffering from some sort of debilitating physical uh ailment like a stroke or a heart attack.
A lot of it was written in the context of Woodrow Wilson, uh, the assassination of John F. Kennedy and so forth.
But an argument can be made that it it doesn't address some sort of slow senility or dementia in a president, but rather a physical trauma that has been suffered.
Um and I think they need to rethink it and rewrite it and make it clearer.
And you know, part of the problem is that cabinet members are sometimes such suck-ups and sycophants to the president that they don't want to take any uh proper action where that action is merited.
So the threshold of getting the vice president as well as the cabinet involved, and then sending it to Congress uh for approval, um, you know, that's a very high burden to sustain.
And maybe it should be less onerous.
I don't know.
Let's uh but great question.
And Rick, thanks for calling.
Let's go to our next caller, Claire joins us from Florida.
Claire, thanks for joining the Sean Hannity show.
Hi there, good afternoon.
Listen, I've got a I wrote this down so I remember what I was gonna say.
I think Dr. Joe Biden should be prosecuted for allowing elder an elder abuse to happen on an old man who happens to be her husband, and is now turning this into a danger, the security of the United States.
Yeah.
Well, There's a lot wrong with his head, and uh it would require, you know, an entire medical dictionary, uh physician's desk reference to uh to go through it all, and that's a thick book.
Um, I I have said on a few occasions, doesn't it seem like the Biden family, particularly Jill, are guilty of elder abuse.
We're gonna have more of your calls when we come back on Greg Jarrett filling in for the Sean Hannity show.
Stick around.
Merry Christmas, everyone.
Welcome back to the Sean Hannity Show.
I'm Greg Jarrett, filling in for Sean Hannity.
I'm a Fox News legal analyst, and you can follow me on X at Greg Jarrett, two G's at the end of Greg, two R's, two T's, or go to my website to read my columns, theGreg Jarrett.com.
It's not too late if you're of a mind to buy a book for Christmas.
My latest uh two books, The U.S. Constitution and Other Patriotic Documents.
And the other one, they both came out uh just this last year, uh, is The Trial of the Century.
Um, my first book was called The Russia Hoax.
It speaks for itself.
But of course, I was called a nutball conspiracy theorist, even though in the end, I was right, and what I wrote was accurate, including the sequel called Witch Hunt.
Those who got it wrong, they didn't apologize, no mea culpas.
Instead, they won a Pilitzer Prize for being wrong.
Did they give it back?
No, they didn't.
Well, I'll be hosting uh for Sean on Thursday night on his television show on the Fox News channel, 9 o'clock Eastern on Hannity.
And I hope you'll join us then.
We have a great lineup of guests.
And uh in the meantime, I hope you all have a very, very merry Christmas.
I'm Greg Jarrett for Sean Hannon.
