Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
We'll be right back.
We'll all be entirely.
And if you want a little bang in your yin-yang, come along.
But the media's tamed down a little bit.
They're liking us much better now, I think.
If they don't, we'll have to just take them on again, and we don't want to do that.
Violence is never the answer.
This guy gets a trial.
He's allegedly killed the CEO of United Health.
But you can only push people so far.
People interpret and feel and experience.
Denied claims as an act of violence against them.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Yeah, we are coming.
to your city gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song Sean Hannity.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
And we got with us the one.
This is a book you have to get.
You know Miranda DeV.
Oh, she's not here yet?
Forget what I said.
You don't have to get it.
No, we'll get to talk to her in a second.
It's actually a great book.
Miranda Devine's new book.
And uh hey, Elon Musk, they love to go after Elon Musk.
Oh, do they love to go after Elon Musk?
So I think it was Joe Concha came up with this.
He's he's the new Putin.
Remember they they would just trash Putin uh because uh the you know, just to go after Trump.
Now it's Elon Musk.
Here's a guy who's a genius, literally a genius, the smartest guy, the greatest inventor.
Uh you know, at the beginning of the country, it was George Washington, and uh hanging around George Washington was Ben Franklin, who was the greatest inventor at that time, a wealthy business guy, a great inventor, and uh that's what Elon Musk is.
He's the Ben Franklin of today.
And um it just drives the left crazy.
Why?
Because uh he bought Twitter, which was uh just totally corrupt, it would shadow ban any conservative, it would throttle you down if you didn't uh agree with them.
It was censorship.
And I mean, I don't know, it's censorship.
Miranda Devine is the best example of that.
She was the reporter who broke the laptop story.
It got censored from Twitter.
Uh she works for the New York Post.
They actually and the New York Post is the oldest newspaper in America, the most prestigious paper in America.
Forget the New York Times, it's the New York Post.
They actually removed their account from Twitter.
This was total corruption.
So Elon Musk buys it, rescues it, frees Twitter, turns it back into free speech, free expression.
That's one reason they hate him.
Oh, hey, by the way, Musk is uh campaigning against Wikipedia, and you gotta join him on that.
It's he's calling it Wokapedia.
Wikipedia is like Twitter.
It's total censorship.
If you're a uh conservative, you get trashed, you get uh your your entry on Wikipedia is so biased and slanted.
Uh you know, if you're the uh conservative commentator, it'll say uh questionable uh conspiracy theorist or uh controversial.
If you're the liberal commentator, it'll say brilliant journalist, it's it's just totally slanted.
Uh I I used to have a problem with my listening.
I finally got my listing removed.
I don't even want to be on Wikipedia.
It's just awful.
And the uh people that started I remember once the chairman trying to uh help me out there, but even he couldn't control.
He said we've just lost control of it.
The uh left-wing liberal uh trolls that edit uh Wikipedia just won't let you do.
They can't battle them.
So uh Musk urging everybody, do not donate to Wikipedia.
They're always begging for money.
You know why?
Because it's so slanted and biased.
That's why they can't make any money.
That's why they can't run advertising, they can't do anything.
Uh so don't donate anything to Wikipedia.
Don't get involved with Wikipedia.
Don't trust anything on it.
You know, you can always uh uh you know you can always look it up somewhere else.
You do not need to go to Wikipedia.
Hey, what happened to Miranda Devine?
I don't know.
She'll turn up.
If you watch um Instagram or uh any of that stuff, you you see a lot of videos, some great accounts where they post video pictures every night from Mar-a-Lago.
What's going on there?
You see Trump coming to dinner, and it's a ballroom packed with people, and he's got all these people at the table with him.
It's fun to watch every day see what famous faces were with Trump that night at Mar-a-Lago, and uh sometimes they put video in the uh Christmas was a big night there.
Hey, by the way, you don't just even if you're a member, uh you don't just show up for Christmas dinner.
It's 350 ahead for Christmas dinner.
Uh New Year's Eve is the big thing at Mar-a-Lago.
It's 1,300 a person, New Year's Eve at Mar-a-Lago.
So when you see 800 people in the ballroom, multiply by 1300.
I can't do that because uh I got a D in math, but uh you can imagine how profitable this place is.
Now, when you see the pictures of Mar-a-Lago, you'll notice that Trump is with his big table of people, and the uh tables next to him are his friends, and then you'll notice there's these red velvet ropes around that section.
It's all roped off.
Now the rest of the crowd, it looks it's an older crowd, but if you look at them, they're beautifully dressed.
They're wearing tuxedos, they're wearing these beautiful gowns, the most beautiful jewelry.
Now, here's the problem.
If you walk into that crowd, the women in those gowns will turn to you and say, How are you?
with those accents and drive you nuts.
Now, that's why you never see Melania there.
They always say, Oh, there's something wrong with the marriage.
The marriage is fine.
She just can't deal with those people.
You know, she'll once in a while she'll be there.
But to get to the table, you gotta walk through 600 of them, and it's the same conversation with each one.
You remember me?
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
No, I really don't.
Yeah, you met me, and I don't remember you.
You remember me.
No, I really don't.
You remember I I don't know who you are.
So she doesn't want to do that.
But Trump loves it.
Donald Trump loves people, loves doing it.
So uh then after dinner at Mar-a-Lago, he becomes the DJ, and he's could do it off his iPad.
Uh yeah, you can run uh the music off your iPad as the DJ, and he actually starts spinning, and he's got uh uh amazing uh playlist on that iPad, uh Christmas dinner.
It went from uh Andre Bocelli to uh to Elton John to Elvis Presley.
So he's playing all this music, and he gets up and he does that Trump dance, which has become the number one dance in America, the Trump dance.
Now, can you imagine if you said to Joe Biden, hey, after dinner you'll DJ, you take your iPad and play music.
Can you imagine Joe Biden trying to do that?
Imagine Joe Biden trying to even use an iPad.
The Trump dance is so popular.
Could you imagine Joe Biden creating a dance sensation?
What would it be?
Just shuffling just drooling and shuffling?
Falling over.
Uh falling over.
Bump yeah, that's the that's the Biden dance.
Walk into the wall, just walk into the wall and stop, not know where to go.
Now, if you think about that, this cover-up, this was the greatest scandal in presidential history.
You know, Roosevelt was in a wheelchair and they really didn't let the country know that.
They only shot him from above the waist.
That's not the worst thing in the world.
I mean, the guy was competent, mentally was fine.
He was running the country, he was making great speeches.
It wasn't that much of a cover-up.
Now, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, not to mention he had a lot of women coming and going in the way.
All right, that's a cover-up, but that's personal behavior.
That's his personal life.
That's not uh anything to do with the job.
Still competent in the job.
Cuban Missile Crisis, alert, sharp, private life.
You know, if you I I'd meet those old-time veteran reporters, and you'd ask them what that Marilyn Monroe stuff.
They all knew.
And if you said, Well, why didn't you well it was a different era?
They always give it, oh, it was a different era.
No, it was because he was a Democrat.
Same thing with Roosevelt.
He was a Democrat.
Believe me, if it was Nixon uh with Merrill Monroe, it would have been the front page the next day.
It would have been breaking news.
Uh, but they covered it up.
So, but again, that's personal behavior.
But you've got a president who is totally incompetent, who can't see straight, who can't think, can't run the meeting.
Uh, and then we find out uh there were nine cabinet meetings in four years.
And the l you know, in twenty twenty four, only one cabinet meeting, and Joe Biden didn't run it.
Jill Biden had to run it.
So you got a president who's totally in incapacitated, can't function, can't think, can't talk, can't do anything.
That is the greatest cover-up in presidential history.
Take a break.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, they're very subtle here.
Well, you can you can you never even notice that all of a sudden uh there's an oldie station on the air here.
What is that?
Is that Paul Revere and the Raiders?
Sounds like it.
I don't know.
Sounds good though.
But uh hey, follow me on uh on Twitter.
It's Mark Simone NY at Twitter, Instagram, Mark Simone NYC at Instagram, and don't forget to check out Hannity.com, watch Hannity Tonight, Fox News Channel.
Back in a moment.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Doobie brothers.
Blackwater.
How's that?
We make this a contest.
Uh it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Uh we're gonna talk to Miranda Devine, but we can't get her on the phone.
No, it's not her fault.
She uh uh texted and she's something wrong with where is she?
Somewhere where the uh cell service is all screwed up and uh uh well we'll try to get her.
If not, we'll get her in the next half hour.
Uh we'll take some calls in the meantime.
Let's go to uh Gene, who's in Montana.
Gene, welcome to the Sean Hannity show.
Hi, Mark.
Thanks for taking my call.
Hey, first the sooner we get the old Gerber baby out of office, the better.
Oh, Joe Biden, yes.
Hi.
Yeah, the Gerber baby old applesauce.
All right, so I'm a little nervous, but what are you nervous about?
Oh, I'm being on the radio.
Oh, well, I'll tell you the secret.
The problem is don't think that uh you know, just don't even stop and think that there's seventeen million people listening.
That at this moment you're speaking to more people right now than you'll ever talk to in your entire life, and that if you make even the slightest mistake, you could be humiliated forever.
Don't even think about it.
Let's put that out of your head.
Oh, here's my thoughts.
Just pretend you're talking to one person.
Okay.
With 17 million people listening.
But go go ahead.
Now you sound fine, Gene.
Thank you.
The IRS provides tax breaks.
Yes.
For Americans buying new EVs.
Yeah.
Necessary out-of-pocket medical costs, like big deductibles, are only tax deductible once they reach $10,000.
Yeah.
You know what?
There are so many middle class and retirees that have I'm going to say maybe 30, 40,000 income.
So imagine having like 9,000 out of pocket.
Well, listen, I understand what you're saying.
It's a good point.
It's pretty logical.
But, you know, one person might have 500 in medical expenses, and another might have five million.
That's part of the problem.
Now I think the real problem, though, you know, they keep trying to figure out the insurance and how to cover and how to you gotta get the cost down.
It's just ridiculous, ludicrous, out of control.
Medical costs.
Why is it $5,000 a night in a hospital room?
I could go right over there and stay at the Ritz-Carlton and get the finest suite, and it's $1,200 a night.
Why is it $5,000 in a hospital?
Why is it $22 for an aspirin in the hospital?
I can go to Costco and get a box of uh $500 aspirin for like eight dollars.
It's the cost they're out of control.
And you know, you bring up a good point.
I hope uh this is one thing Elon Musk and Doge looks at.
Get those medical costs down to what they should be, get them realistic, and then that would solve a lot of this.
Genia did very well.
Uh we have time for one more real fast.
Let's go to Brian in North Dakota.
Brian, how are you doing?
Pretty good, Mark.
How are you doing there?
Let me check.
Uh not bad, not bad.
Okay.
Still got to lose a little weight from yesterday, eh?
Yeah.
Are you from Canada?
It says North Carolina.
Well, no, I'm I'm a U.S. citizen.
Oh, but you said A like a Canadian.
Well, yeah, you know, I got a little youper blood in me too.
A, yeah.
Okay.
Um, I was I'm a U.S. citizen and uh I'm not sure about that.
Let me see your papers.
Yeah, well, I tell you it takes a ton of them.
It isn't like walking across the border and swimming across the river and getting here without any problems.
So all right.
Well, I'm glad you're here.
And uh thanks for calling.
Thanks for checking in with us.
We'll take a break, and then we may have Miranda Devine when we come back.
It's just possible.
If not, we'll take some more calls.
1800, 941 Sean is the number.
Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Oh.
Wait a minute.
I'm all confused here.
I thought it's 2512.
It says 2812.
You see, I thought it was time to go.
Is Brian's still there?
Nah.
Oh, he is?
Brian, you still there?
Hi, Mark.
Oh, well, start over like it never happened.
Hello, Brian.
Where are you calling from?
Hello, Mark.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean I was only rushing you because I thought we had to get off at uh 2512, but I was looking at the wrong thing.
It's 2812.
This is what they call a hard break.
You know, you hear them say that on the radio.
We have a hard break what a hard break means.
A normal break means you take it when you take it.
Hard break means it's gotta be at that second, or the computer will cut everything off.
But what do you want to say, Brian?
What you're from Canada and you move to North Dakota.
Yeah, well, anyway, I was I'm a U.S. citizen who was a permanent resident in Canada.
One of the few things most Canadians don't know, and also the U.S. doesn't know.
Yeah.
You know, for us to be able to uh take over or accept Canada as part of the U.S. is that Canada itself is still a commonwealth uh internationally chartered as a commonwealth to England.
Wow, fascinating.
I have no idea what you're talking about, but it sounds fascinating.
What do you mean?
It's uh you mean well it's not part of England anymore.
They have no control over Canada.
No, in nineteen ninety, the English throne granted Canada, the Commonwealth of Canada, the authority to govern itself.
Oh, okay.
And you're doing a hell of a job there with that Trudeau.
Yeah, yeah.
So well, everybody thinks Trudeau is the prime minister and head of Canada.
There's actually one position higher than Trudeau as the Prime Minister of Canada to England.
Yeah.
The last one that the person that was uh that I met that was that was appointed by the Queen herself.
Uh he was a uh admiral of her majesty's uh Navy.
Uh-huh.
And so for us to be able to we we would have to negotiate this with England.
All right, Brian.
Well, thanks for calling.
That's that's fascinating.
I still have no idea what you're talking about, but it's fascinating.
No, I I understand what you're saying.
First of all, we don't want Canada.
We love Canada.
It's very nice, but we don't want to take it over.
We don't need it.
We you've got uh uh uh enough problems here.
And uh it's more just uh we need to do something about uh Trudeau.
Uh frankly, he's gotta go.
He's gotta go.
Or he's gotta listen to Trump.
This is Trump taunting him.
You know, Trump loved uh uh wrestling, pro wrestling.
Uh and kind of learn a lot from that.
One thing you do is taunt the opponent, uh try to unnerve him.
It's step one of negotiating, so that's that's what that's all about.
Green land we really do want.
That we want.
It's filled with minerals and oil, and it's a crucial location, uh defense-wise, and China's trying to get their hands on all that, and that's another reason we have to have it.
Canada, we don't want, we just want you to get a better prime minister and do things a little better.
Hey, we'll take a break.
We'll see if we have uh Miranda Devine when we come back.
It's Mark Simone here on the Sean Hannity Show.
Breaking news straight from the source.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for uh Sean.
He'll be back soon.
We'll take some calls.
800-941-Shawn is the number.
800-941.
We'd love to hear from you.
Uh hey, by the way, New Year's Eve, uh You don't want to go out on New Year's Eve.
Not good.
Not good.
Now I go out every night of the year, seven nights a week.
I'm in the middle of New York City.
Every night I go out.
I go to like nine different places.
I love to go out.
Now, one night I do not go out is New Year's Eve.
You can go out early, but uh you know, I'm talking about six o'clock, seven o'clock, but be home by nine.
You do not want to be out on New Year's Eve.
It's the worst night anywhere you go.
Now, if you go to a great, great restaurant or wherever you go, they got an incredible menu.
They got a great crowd.
If you go New Year's Eve, they don't have that menu.
If you go tonight and open up the menu, it's three pages of great anything you want.
Go New Year's Eve.
Uh special New Year's Eve menu.
It's like three things.
It's the three things they want to make for four hundred people all at once.
And it's not the regular menu.
And it's not the regular price.
It's like seven times as much.
So it's uh if if it's uh $100 tonight, it's $800 New Year's Eve to go.
You do not want to go out on New Year's Eve.
Not to mention uh the crowd of people that never go out, and uh it's just the worst night of the year.
Now, if you go out the next night, now forget the next night.
That's January 1st, holiday.
January 2nd, go out January 2nd.
Every place is nice and quiet.
You can get right in.
They got the full menu back.
It's back down to the regular price.
Look out the window.
We're looking at uh right out there is 6th Avenue.
We can see towards Radio City, Rockefeller Center.
The sidewalks are packed.
You can't move tourists from all over the world.
By the way, New York City doing better than ever.
Uh all time record for tourists coming this Christmas season.
All time record.
Besides uh regular traffic in the streets, cars, pedestrian traffic is at the highest level since before the pandemic.
Uh real estate is doing very well.
We're actually, uh, according to Steve Cuso, the great real estate reporter, we're actually starting to get a shortage.
That's the ice machine.
We're starting to get a shortage of uh commercial real estate.
Companies are having trouble getting more office space when they need it.
So the tourist season, big big big week is uh Christmas week, New Year's uh all-time record.
Just go you know, you can always tell how well New York is doing.
Middle of the pandemic, go look at the finest hotel in New York, the plaza, the four seasons they ritz called, and look at the price to get a hotel room, be like 200 bucks.
Go look at it right now.
It's like any hotel room in a top hotel, 2,000, 2500, 3,000.
That's because they're uh doing incredibly well.
Now it's also because the migrant crisis, they're putting them in a hotel.
So like 200 hotels have been taken off the market uh in New York.
Uh hey, now the other thing is we've got a lot of traffic, and we've got a crazy left-wing governor who's got uh big problem because she's not only left-wing Democrat, but she's not very bright either.
Now, when you get that combination, she's like uh not so hot looking AOC.
Uh just not very bright.
And she's the one that hey, and you got to blame Andrew Cuomo for this, because he started it.
She's come up with this thing called congestion pricing.
Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo actually came up with it, pushed it through, and got it done.
But she's uh giving it to us in about a week.
What it is, they'll charge you a fee to enter like the best part of Manhattan, Midtown Manhattan, which is uh 60th to 34th.
It's where it's where everything is.
It's where we are right now, it's where all the top stores are, it's where the Broadway theaters are, it's where all the best hotels are, it's where all the premieres and office buildings, skyscrapers, congestion pricing.
She's gonna charge you money to just drive into this little neighborhood here.
You can come into Manhattan, but you come to this part of Manhattan, nine dollars.
And then they reveal that, well, it's nine dollars.
But they might crank up the price now and then.
Uh you know, if it's a big uh holiday, they'll crank up the price.
If it's what they call a gridlock day, they'll crank up the price.
This has got to stop.
Now, if you're in the middle of America laughing at us, saying, you people in New York City have got the worst troubles.
Be very careful.
If they get away with this here, it's gonna come everywhere.
You're gonna get it next.
And it's gonna don't don't laugh if you're out in the suburbs.
You'll get it in the suburbs.
You'll get it in your uh suburban side.
Oh, you want to come to the main big shopping street congestion fee.
And the what they do is they they have a license plate reader above the road, and it's all done automatically.
You know, in the old days of tolls, a million years ago, every time you went to toll, you had to reach in your pocket, count out the money.
So if they raised it, you could feel it, because you had to take more money out of your pocket.
But now it's all digital.
You don't even notice.
$4.
Next, you know, it's $7, but you don't know because they don't they don't tell you about it.
Uh so beware of this.
This is now hopefully Donald Trump can stop this.
There's a lot of stuff he's got to do for our cities besides fixing the economy, uh, besides strengthening our military, Besides ending the wars, uh, he's got to do something about crime.
He can do something about it.
He can get rid of these uh uh release all the criminal crazy DAs, the governors can fire them.
Trump can withhold federal funding unless they do that, uh, as we're talking about earlier in the show.
The feds can come in and set up a task force.
They'll work with the NYPD and they'll make the arrest.
And if the local DA doesn't put people in jail, the feds will take the arrest and they'll put him in jail.
And he you can do something about this congestion pricing.
The cities all depend on the federal government for funding for everything.
He can withhold it unless they uh get rid of that stupid congestion pricing.
Hey, you already paid for your car and you paid a tax.
You paid for the gas, you paid a tax.
You're gonna park and you're gonna pay for that and pay uh uh oh, you want to actually drive it?
Oh, congestion pricing.
You want to actually cross this street?
Nine dollars.
It's got to stop.
Let's take some calls.
Let's go to uh Walter in Florida.
Walter, how are you doing?
Welcome to the Sean Hannity Show.
Mark, so happy to hear you and uh happy new year to you and your family.
You too, where are you in Florida?
On the space coast, my brother.
The where?
Like uh Cape Canaveral.
Uh yeah.
Yeah, well, you sound like a sound like you're in space there a little.
Lived here all my life and uh also worked on a space shuttle program for almost twenty years.
Really?
What'd you do?
I was a space vehicle test electric and mechanic in that.
Wow.
Now that's impressive.
Well unfortunately, I had to suffer through all of the tragedies that we went with the Challenger in the Columbia.
But uh I I called not to do that.
Yeah, but to but to say and applaud you for don't go out on New Year's, because we call that down here on the space coast.
Amateur night.
Actually, it's all the way across Central Florida.
It's amateur night.
Yeah.
Well, you know, they're not nightlife professionals like yourself there, but uh it's uh it's an awful night to go out.
And you're wasting your money.
You can go to the same place three nights in a row for the same amount that it'll cost you on New Year's Eve.
So don't do it.
Good call, Walter.
Let's go to uh hey, Carlos is in Miami.
Carlos, how are you doing?
Hey, Mark, thank you.
Thank you for taking my call.
You're a great uh host, uh uh Sean would be very proud of you.
Oh, well, thanks.
Listen, I have a radical idea, and uh let's see, I'm I'm not an attorney, but you know, no nobody's happy with all these pardons that uh uh Biden's done.
So what if okay, this is my idea that I uh drew up.
What if uh before Biden's term is over, they file a an a lawsuit for amendment twenty-five, making every pardon that he did nominally fifth amendment.
Obviously, Biden's qualifies for that, like no one else, but I don't think that would invalidate the pardons.
Really?
Uh because then but you do it near the end of the turn, so that's the case.
Yeah, but once the pardons are signed, that's it.
They're signed.
And when he signs it, it then has to go to the Justice Department and they have to approve it, which I believe they've already done.
Once they approve it, the pardon's in no matter what happens.
No matter if he's uh twenty-five?
Yeah.
I mean, if you did it beforehand, then that's different.
But uh yeah, once he signed it and it goes to the Justice Department, they've got to sign off on it.
Once they sign off on it, it's done.
Uh you remember what was that bad the worst part never was Mark Rich.
Uh Clinton took uh uh a lot of money from a huge donor, huge donor.
And uh friend of mine, actually, Denise Rich.
But uh the husband, Mark Rich, the ex-husband, was a fugitive on the lamb, and he got pardoned while on the lamb, and uh Clinton signed it.
Huge, huge donations.
But it went to the Justice Department and nobody would sign it.
It was too dirty a pardon.
The uh people that have to sign it would not sign it.
So they had a hunt around and find somebody in the Justice Department and sign it.
And they finally found a guy named Eric Holder.
And he signed off on it.
His reward, he was later attorney general of the United States.
Uh Carlos, are you still there?
I have another idea.
Oh my God, that's what I was afraid of.
All right, go ahead.
Yeah.
No, re real quick.
Yes.
That can save lives.
Uh-huh.
It's called Emerg Emergency Medical QRC.
You can look it up.
It's uh Well, I was gonna go out tonight, but I guess I could cancel and do this.
I'll look this up.
I'll spend tonight looking this up.
E M Q R C Uh.
Emergency Medical QRC.
And what is it too?
Uh you fill your information, medical information.
Uh-huh.
In case of an accident or or Oh, all your information's there.
I hate to break it to you.
I have that in my iPhone.
It's in every iPhone.
But the only difference is I think it's a good thing.
Well, the only difference is the phone is right on me and it's in there and everybody knows to where how to get it out of your phone.
Negative.
That's the that's the thing.
But there's a section in your iPhone where you put all that in there.
And if God forbid you're ever in a hospital, they can open it.
They can open that up without opening your phone and see all the medical information.
Mine goes on the lock screen, so you just know if you were on Shark Tank, they would have already thrown you off five minutes ago.

Let's take some calls.
Let's go to Tom in New York.
Tom, how you doing?
Hi, how are you doing?
Good.
Good.
I I I just want to call because I have to be Would you borrow Miranda Devine's phone?
It keeps cutting out.
Oh no.
Oh, go ahead.
Try it now.
Yeah, I just want to comment.
Oh, there you go again.
Hey, uh, your phone keeps cutting out.
Where are you exactly in New York?
Oh, let me let me I'm by Buffalo, but let me pull over.
I'm driving.
Oh.
Well, it's Buffalo, you know, probably twelve feet of snow there.
Melted now.
Uh-huh.
Can you can you hear me?
Yes.
Yeah, okay.
I just want to comment.
Last hour somebody said that, oh, the next four years are gonna be wonderful.
Yeah.
And I don't think that's gonna be it at all.
Why?
It's gonna be people just tearing down Trump.
Well, I know what you're saying, that the fake news will go crazy and it'll be a war on try I don't know.
We might be in a new era now.
The fake news really got humiliated, and people are tuning out to fake news, and uh these big corporations that own all that are being careful now.
Might be a different era now, it might be a little different.
Uh would you explain to people in the rest of America what a garbage plate is?
A garbage plate?
Yeah, that's big up there in the Buffalo upstate area.
No.
I can't believe you don't know that.
Yeah, upstate.
It's uh in a restaurant, you ask for a garbage plate.
What it is, they just throw everything they make on this one plate.
It's actually the greatest thing in the world.
Hey, all you restaurants listen listening around the uh country.
It's a great idea.
You know, you can't decide the entrees.
It's like a buffet on a plate.
They just throw everything on there.
But thanks for calling.
Let's go to uh John in Pittsburgh.
John, how you doing.
Hey, Mark, a couple quick points.
You were mentioning the worst thing about the media, which is they don't have to be accountable when they lie, cheat, and steal.
Unlike every other profession in the world, if I lie, cheat and steal, it's not gonna work out very well.
And the the even though it's not very elegant, the only solution I can think of is for people like you and Sean to call up Joe Scarborough, place a public bet with him that in the next year there's not gonna be an abortion ban or uh Project 20.
Yeah, I understand what you're saying.
That's good.
Or you could just wait the year and people will see it never happen.
That's what's happening now with them, Ms. NBC.
They realize everything they told them was a lie.
There's no 2025 project, there's no national abortion ban, uh, and they're they're just slowly but surely destroying themselves.
It always happens with uh left wing uh nonsense.
It happened with Dukakis and all the they go too far to the left, they get too arrogant, they get too carried away, they overreach, and they just lose the public.
Democratic brand is in the wilderness right now, and it will be for probably two to four years before they recover from this.
And uh that's the good news.
I think this is just the beginning.
Once Trump takes office and things start booming and things get fixed and the economy's going and inflation comes down, that's going to even damage the Democratic brand even more.
They will not recover for a long, long time.
Oh, I hear music.
I think that can you believe we actually made it through this whole program?
Wasn't easy.
Uh had uh two out of three guests actually make it.
That's good.
But uh hey, you can listen to me.
Uh I'm on our flagship, 710 W-O-R New York.
But if you go to the iHeart app or uh just you can find my podcast, any place you get podcasts, iHeart, Apple, wherever this podcast.
Uh of course, watch Hannity every weeknight, nine o'clock on the Fox News channel.
