Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz.
And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Day number 82.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour, Sean Hannity Show, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, I'd not focused on, I think, the most interesting result from Tuesday night.
And you have the most powerful Senate leader for Democrats in the state of New Joise and a truck driver who defeated, he actually won the state Senate seat, and he spent, I think, a whopping $153.
His name is Eddie Edward Durr, and he knocked off the Senate majority leader in New Jersey with $153.
Listen to him.
I have no idea what's going on.
I am really trying to grasp all this.
It is, I knew it would be a major upset.
And the funny thing is, is whenever I went around the door to door, everybody, the first words out of their mouth was, good luck.
Like, they knew the political power that was being wielded down here.
I would get people who sent me $50, sent me $25.
They say, listen, I don't like the guy.
I want to see you do well.
And so I did what I could.
You're a Harley Riding Eagles fan who is a truck driver.
I mean, we don't have some real people in these state houses.
I've said this before.
I'm as blue collar as you're ever going to find.
I'll take a citizen Senate, a citizen House of Representatives any day.
Newt Gingrich is with us, former Speaker of the House.
He just released his brand new book.
This is a must-read for everybody.
And it's called Beyond Biden.
I spent a lot of time on this program yesterday saying, okay, this is phase one.
One year from now, I'm not sure what day election day is next year.
We're going to be on the air the morning after the night before the midterms.
And we'll probably know by that morning, by that afternoon when we get on the air, whether or not Republicans have taken back the House of Representatives.
If they do, the Biden agenda is over.
New Green Deal socialism ends.
It will be a really strong message that the American people want to take their country back.
Now, we have Senate races.
One year from now, we'll find out what happens in the state of Florida, Herschel Walker, state of Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Nevada, and Arizona.
Those are all bellwether Senate races.
And I said that if the Republicans are smart, they will go back to the Contract with America idea.
I've outlined so many times, many of you can repeat it.
I won't do it now, what it means to be a conservative.
But every single candidate next year needs to sign a document.
I don't care what they call it, a contract with America, promises to America, agenda items that they are promising they will fight for.
I want their signatures this time.
So this way we can hold them accountable.
Newt Gingrich did this in 1994.
I was the MC the night he became Speaker of the House at his event.
And I don't know why we have not gone back to this idea, but I think the time is now.
And with your book now on Amazon.com and in bookstores all across the country, Beyond Biden, I think if we really want to get beyond Biden, we've got to win 2022 and 2024.
Well, I think you're right.
I have to say, before we get on Beyond Biden, I think your interview just now with Ed Doer is just perfect.
And it makes me proud to be an American.
The idea that everyday folks could have, you know, gone out there and decided on their own.
They were sick of this guy.
I think the teachers' union spent $5 million trying to beat him last time.
Somebody said they'd spent a total of like $17 million.
And as long as it was one professional politician against another, it didn't work.
But when he got to be a normal, everyday American, people rallied to him.
I think it's one of the great examples of why America is such an amazing country.
And I was thrilled by your interview with him.
I'm delighted for him.
And, you know, I think he's a great symbol for the whole country.
He's comparable to Lesco Brandon in terms of being a signal that the world's changing.
And people need to understand that.
I knew we had a good shot in Virginia.
I can't believe we got that close in New Jersey.
Now, Robert Cahaley of Trafalgar, he did tell me on air, his final poll was a four-point race within the margin of error.
He said, nobody's paying attention.
There is a massive break in New Jersey.
And I paid attention to it, but not enough attention.
I didn't think we'd get that close.
We could have had it.
We could have.
And the truth is, it's the highest tax state in the country.
It's the most expensive state in the country to live in.
And people are sick of it.
They know all those high taxes are going to pay for bureaucracies that don't work.
So now the Democrats are back in Washington and right away, almost immediately, they want their no voter ID, no standards for election bill passed, and they want to end the filibuster.
And now they're talking about their, you know, their $3.5 trillion spending project.
Apparently, I guess, tone-deaf to what happened on Tuesday.
Well, you know, somebody pointed out to me that when they got really beaten badly in 2009 in response to what was going on, and they lost Virginia and they lost New Jersey, four days later, Nancy Pelosi rammed through Obamacare.
Well, guess what?
Right after they got beaten badly in Virginia and frankly at the Assembly level got beaten badly in New Jersey and almost lost the governorship, Nancy Pelosi, once again, wants to ram something through.
I don't think she'll be able to.
I think there are a bunch of scared Democrats today who are looking at this stuff and saying, you know, this big government socialism ain't going to work, and I'm going to get beat.
And I'll be very curious to see, particularly because they're never going to get it through the Senate.
I mean, the fact is, this just strengthened Mansion and Cinema.
And I think it also will lead to scaring, you know, at least I think the senators in Arizona, Nevada, and New Hampshire, the Democrats, all had their races downgraded to basically being an equal tie after Tuesday night.
And the so-called experts looked at it and said, you know, given what's happening in the country, these guys are all in trouble.
As I've been following...
I'm sorry, go ahead.
I was going to say, so it'll be interesting to see whether or not those three senators decide they're going to join the survival group with Mansion and Cinema, or whether they're just going to blindly stick with the big government socialists and lose next year.
You know, I look at Virginia, and we had on TV last night Winsome Sears, and we were talking about this a little bit in the last half hour.
If you listen to the media, the mob in the media, they're blaming race for the Virginia election results.
And I'm like, do you not see who won the races in Virginia?
Are you not paying attention?
And I asked this through this prism here.
Stephanie Cutter, veteran of Hillary Clinton's camp, actually said, we can't let Republicans become the party of parents.
If Republicans become the party of parents, if Republicans can fix the broken down, dilapidated, disaster institutions of education all across the country, especially in blue states, blue cities, if they resolve the issue of law and order for every American so they can pursue their happiness, I believe we reconfigure the Republican Party for generations to come.
How do we do that, though?
Well, I think that's right.
I mean, first of all, for the first time, and you know, I've been telling this for years, for the first time, I am totally with you.
I think they need the equivalent of a contract next year that's positive.
If you look at the campaign that Young ran, Young has spent a lot of time on positive advertising, on positive messages, and messages that were in people's lives.
That was one of the biggest differences.
You know, McCullough was talking about January 6th.
He was talking about Donald Trump.
But at the same time, what you had was Young was talking about the schools, the jobs, crime, things that are in people's lives that are real.
So I think if the Republicans, on the one front, can be very, very positive and have solutions people believe in and are committed to them, I think that will be huge.
The other front is the big government socialism just doesn't work.
And Margaret Thatcher did an amazing job.
She so clearly defined socialism in Britain that no one in 40 years, think about that, four decades, no one who's an overt socialist has been able to win the prime ministership.
Huge change from the Britain of the previous half century.
I think we have a chance.
You know, when Schumer endorses the socialist candidate for mayor of Buffalo, who lost, by the way, on a write-in, you really begin to understand these people are just totally out to lunch.
And when we win, when a woman is elected to the district attorney or city attorney's hall there in Seattle as a Republican, you know that there is something big happening in the country.
When we pick up a Latino seat, 73% Latino in San Antonio, with a Republican in a special election of the state legislature, you know something big is happening.
And I think the way to have that big thing happen in 22, and I think it could be at least plus four in the Senate and somewhere between plus 40 and plus 70 in the House, the way to do it is one, define in a very positive way, much as you've been doing, this is what we stand for as values, and these are the programs we'll institute so your life and your family's life will be better.
And two, define clearly that these people are basically big government socialists who then have to lie, which is what, of course, McCulloch did.
He couldn't tell the truth in the last three weeks of the campaign.
And so, of course, the elite media picked up his lies and pretended they were real, but they weren't.
And that's where, you know, having an African-American from Jamaica who migrated to the U.S., served in the U.S. Marine Corps, is articulate, attractive, and intelligent, as the first black woman elected statewide in Virginia.
And oh, by the way, she's a Republican.
Having the son of Cuban refugees become the Attorney General of Virginia, the first Latino elected statewide.
Oh, by the way, he's a Republican.
It's going to be pretty hard to call the, you know, use the race card against a party that begins to be that.
But by the way, in spite of these victories, the media, and I just played it the last half hour.
I won't play it again and bore the audience, but they are blaming race for the Virginia election results.
Quick break.
We'll come back more with former Speaker of the House, Duke Kingrich, and your calls coming up, 800-941 Sean, as we continue.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
And I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.
We continue with Newt Kingrich's new book out today.
It's called Beyond Biden, Hannity.com, Amazon.com, Bookstores Everywhere.
You know, you said something, and look, I wish you were the one that first brought up the contract.
There is a distrust, though, even of some Republicans.
Look, Pelosi's not going to change.
Schumer's not going to change.
The squad's not going to change.
Joe Biden doesn't know what day it is.
So I don't expect them to change.
Joe Manchin has very loudly said, I told you so.
And I think now this has now strengthened his position.
And I've got to imagine that there are other senators that on the Democratic side and Democratic House members that probably see and realize that this radicalism is pulling them over together off a cliff and they don't want a part of it.
Now, what does that mean for the new Green Deal socialist agenda?
Well, I think it's very close to being dead in the water.
And I think, you know, I personally believe Manchin ought to just go ahead and relax and switch parties.
He'll be so much happier going to Tuesday lunch with the Republicans than going in with a bunch of people who despise him, who despise his state, who don't share any of his values.
But I think I've always thought that they would get to a point where it was an overload.
I think this isn't 2010 or 2009.
You don't have a politician as good as Barack Obama in the White House.
And, you know, Nancy is now a decade older.
And I think, frankly, while she's been running a dictatorship, I think the dictatorship is beginning to fall apart.
And that's part of the message.
I mean, you don't want to nation.
Mr. Speaker, I really can't name.
All right.
We have cinema.
We have Manchin.
Can you name 10 Democrats in the House that are even moderately conservative?
Well, I don't study them, so I can't.
I suspect that they're a political.
I got a life beyond politics.
I get it.
No, no.
I think they're probably five or ten.
I'll let Kevin McCarthy chat with you about that.
But they can prove that they're moderate, that they can prove that they're not bigger than socialists.
Just join the Republican Party.
There is no future in the Democratic Party for anyone who is not dedicated to a totally alien system whose primary characteristic is it doesn't work.
And I think it just doesn't work.
Maybe the bus Republican battle cry for 2022.
You know, it doesn't work when you fill up your car with gasoline.
It doesn't work when you go to buy food.
It doesn't work when you look at the border.
I mean, you just go down the list of item after item after.
It doesn't work when five Baltimore City schools, not a single one of them can graduate a student who can actually pass the state exam.
I mean, I think.
See, I'll tell you what Tuesday did for me.
And I never took a minute to gloat.
I only had a sense of relief that people now understand how bad this is.
But the job is hardly over.
And almost immediately, I went from, okay, thank God people are getting it to, okay, the next step.
And the next step is one year from now.
One year from now, you will be on this program.
And God willing.
And we will be having a conversation.
Mr. Speaker, we got a pivotal, critical, important year ahead of us.
Looking forward to it.
Look forward to chatting with you about it.
Take care.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941.
Shawnee, you want to be a part of the program?
Ron DeSantis called the Biden administration the Brandon administration.
Then the crowd started chanting.
And then DeSantis says something that's a fairly well-known quote.
A recession is when your neighbor loses their job.
A depression is when you lose your job.
A recovery is when Fauci loses his job.
Listen.
you look at what's going on with with some of the big corporations with their woke agenda when you look at the Biden the Brandon administration in terms of what they're doing but a recession is when your neighbor loses his job A depression is when you lose yours.
A recovery is when Dr. Fauci loses his.
Ouch.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Linda, you love those cuts.
Which one?
Do you like the Brandon one better?
The Brandon administration?
Let's go, Brandon.
I'm like, he's just such a baller.
I mean, it's just the most amazing thing because it's what we're all thinking.
I mean, he's such an embarrassment to God and country.
And when you see him falling asleep at a global summit, when you see him trying to put a sentence together, when you see him telling people they have to get vaccinated, that it's not going to cost us a thing.
I mean, he must just think we're the stupidest people in America.
It's embarrassing.
But remember, for a long time, this show, and there might have been others.
I don't speak for everybody.
I don't have a lot of time to watch or listen to other shows.
As a matter of fact, next to zero.
And so I, but we were out there on a limb, and people were getting, could not believe that I dared to state the obvious.
He's weak, he's frail, and he's a cognitive mess.
Now, how embarrassing was this week?
He falls asleep, needs an aide to wake him up, apologizes for America, doesn't even have a clue that his own administration and Department of Justice propose payments of $450,000 to illegal immigrants.
I mean, that was pretty embarrassing.
And then the disaster that was the election this week and him totally, completely clueless about that.
Oh, and one other thing, to cap off the week, begging OPEC again.
How many times does OPEC have to reject him before he gets the message?
And Russia, too.
I mean, Iran is basically laughing at us.
And the fact that we're begging these nations that hate us for anything, as opposed to employing American people, engineers, you know, people that have studied for an eternity, hydro fracking.
And, you know, in the Bach and in North Dakota, I mean, these people are out there.
They're ready to freeze and work all winter so that we can supply the American people with the oil with the Saudi Arabia of natural gas, as you've said for the last 25 years.
And instead, we're going to beg Russia and Venezuela and Iran in the middle of the, what are we doing?
I mean, for people to think that it makes a difference whether we get the oil from that part of the world or this part of the world.
I'm like, you have to understand that the nations that are admitting most of the impact and the carbon, the carbon offsets that we need to fight back against what China is doing, anyone.
I brought this point up and it's interesting.
It got noticed by a lot of people.
And that is, if you're begging OPEC to increase production or you're begging Russia to increase production, does it matter to the planet if the oil is taken out of the Mideast, if the oil comes from Russia, or if the oil comes from the U.S.?
Tell me how begging OPEC and begging Russia in any way does a thing to help the environment, which is what they say they care about.
It doesn't do anything.
Nothing.
It doesn't do a damn thing.
And the problem is, is that people are asleep at the switch.
There's like one whole group of Americans that are awake and they're ready and they're ready to fight for their freedom.
They are.
And then there's another side of Americans that are like, I'll just get the vaccine because I want to be able to go to the game or I want to be able to go to the restaurant or I want to, what are you talking about?
I'm like, you need to fight back for the things that matter to you most.
And one of those things is individual freedoms.
Now you're saying that you're going to allow an experimental drug to be used on a five to an 11-year-old?
And that's okay?
I mean, how far does it have to go when our kids are at risk?
How far does it have to go?
If there was a real danger to kids, we would know it by now.
We're nearly two years into this thing.
And in that two-year period of time, and I checked the CDC website earlier this week, it was 162 kids that died from COVID-19.
Now, and by the way, many others had contracted it, but they're not dying from it.
Most are asymptomatic.
They're not having any problems pretty much whatsoever, unless, of course, they have other health complications that sometimes kids have.
It's almost the same identical number of deaths associated with the flu on an annual basis.
It's almost a direct correlation.
So then the question is, why?
And if Hauci's answer today is, well, because there's not enough adults getting vaccinated, what?
Now we're going to put the burden on children because some people make a choice that Dr. Fauci doesn't like?
First of all, as far as I'm concerned, anybody who rips out the vocal cords of puppies so that they can't scream from the anguish of the experimental test.
Everybody buckle up.
She's about to go off.
Go ahead.
Listen, I'm just saying, if that's your first of all moment is right here.
If this guy can kill puppies, you think he's not going to hurt kids?
You think he cares about your life?
No, he does not.
He absolutely does not.
And I think we've seen that time and time again.
He's dead in 2012, Linda.
Even if it causes a worldwide pandemic, that he still supports gain of function research.
100%.
He's still defending it today and lying about what he knew and when he knew it.
He was exposed by Rand Paul today.
No, Dr. Paul made a great point today talking about the fact that they just attributed another $5 million to the Echo Health Alliance, which not for nothing is based right here in New York City.
And that guy was taken off of the COVID-19 board of directors because he was one of the people overseeing what was being approved.
And then people started to notice, isn't that odd that the guy who's approving things and what gets passed and what's going to the FDA is the same guy getting the funding from Equal Health Alliance where he sits as the CEO and works with the Wuhan lab in China.
Like these things are not an accident.
It's mind-numbing to me that one taxpayer dollar went to this.
It's mind-numbing to me.
I'm going to be more blunt.
Every American, we paid for this virus.
We help fund this virus.
We help make it possible.
That is insane.
All right, let's get to the phones.
But wait, one more point, one point.
And something you said, Something you said to me earlier today, and I know you said it, you said it in the top of the hour as well, but if you're going to mandate and force people because you say it's for their health and they have to have the vaccine, that's when you know it's a bold-faced lie that it's about your health.
Because if it was, they'd let you have whatever medicine worked for you.
So now you're going to do this against truckers.
So we're already blocking the ports.
We're already not letting all of the product come in.
We're already limiting the amount of people that can come to work.
How do you want to do it to truckers?
You're going to take the science.
But think about this.
You say follow the science.
Okay, they're not following the science out of Israel.
I am.
We are.
But if we're going to follow the science, how do you justify one-size-fits-all medicine anyway?
You do.
We're just going to totally discount the fact that there are rare conditions where medical professionals, not people that play doctor on radio and TV and in Washington, tell their patients they really are not a candidate for the vaccine for whatever reason.
There are those rare conditions.
Or the issue of natural immunity, which nobody wants to scientifically talk about.
And at the end of the day, people are willing to lose their jobs over it.
And there is an easy accommodation.
I know it's inconvenient.
And I know, and some people have gotten mad at me for even suggesting it.
I'm suggesting it because I'm talking to people that have 15 years in serving this country in the military that are going to be walking away from a pension that they earned in five years.
There are nurses that are going to be losing their pensions.
There are cops that are going to be losing their pensions.
The reason that I say at least give them the option to be tested on a regular basis is because they've worked hard for that money.
That money is going to mean so much to them in their retirement.
I don't want them to lose it.
So I'm trying to thread a needle so that they don't have to get to stand on their values, but they also work in a safe work environment and still get to keep their income, their benefits, and their pension.
But one more point.
If they've gotten to this stage of their career where they're getting pensions, then they are the most experienced, the most elite of our military.
So now we're getting rid of thousands and thousands of people that actually know how to fight the fight, how to run our military, to put in inexperienced people because they're willing to capitulate to the mandate.
Think about that.
Melanie, North Carolina, welcome to the program.
I'm so honored to speak with you.
I love what your discussion with Linda is about the Democrats constantly trying to push this government as the savior of society and the unbelievable trust that we put in them is mind-blowing to me sometimes.
But I'd really like to know your opinion.
And I'm just so overwhelmed to speak with you because you are the subject matter expert and I have so much respect for you.
But on the possibility that in regards to all of these vaccine mandates, is it not just government overreach or corruption?
But could it be a part of the left strategy to create massive gaps in our law enforcement, emergency services, all of these state, local, and privately run industries?
And now we have these huge gaps.
And potentially, could it be the administration's way of providing an opportunity for the federal government to?
I'm not that conspiratorial.
I don't know what's in people's minds.
Conspiratorial.
Well, in the sense that I can't read people's thoughts.
One of the reasons I've been against hate crime legislation, you know, if you kill somebody or you beat up somebody, you should be charged with the crime of doing it.
Whatever thoughts caused you to do it, I mean, trying to factor or unless it's obvious or figure out people's evil motives and there are evil people.
At that point, the punishment should be good enough just for the act that was committed, not for the thought that's in the head.
Although, you know, there are some heinous acts that you've got to take some people off the street if you know they believe in extremist ideas, etc.
But I don't want to digress here.
You're asking a pretty interesting question, and that is what their motivation is.
I don't know.
I do know this.
That is the concerning thing.
Like, what's really behind this?
Because there's so much.
Well, I mean, I think some liberals, for example, have the best of intentions.
They really want to believe, well, if we put everything in a big pot and we'll give everybody their equal share, then we'll all live happily ever after.
The problem is, the world has tried this in one manifestation, one form, over and over again, and it always fails.
Then you have the people that downright know what the hell they're doing and they just want power.
They want unbridled power.
And the power of dependency is real power for people in the political world.
And I think there are people that know damn well what they're doing.
But, you know, can I identify who exactly they are?
No, because I can't get in their head.
I know.
It's scary.
It's a scary times.
And I hate to sound so conspiratorial because I'm not typically that way.
But when you see all of these actions, what Fauci's getting away with, the overreaching in education, it's very scary.
I have, I'm telling you, Alan Combs is a great case in point, my former partner.
Alan Combs was a true believer.
He believed everything he said.
He was wrong on everything, but he believed it.
I respect Alan.
I've respected Alan because of that.
Then you have other people that know that dependency creates a voting base for them for their power accumulation.
And dependency can do that.
What I try to get across to everybody in any way that I can, to the extent possible in your life, and it's hard because life is hard, but to the extent possible that you can count on yourself, depend on yourself, save money for a rainy day, save money for retirement, save money.
You know, maybe you don't need the car, the new car.
Maybe you get a used car.
Maybe you don't need a bigger house.
Maybe you save that money every month for a rainy day or another investment or whatever it happens to be.
I just, to the extent that you become the master of your own destiny, the freer you are in life.
And so to the extent that even today, when I can afford things, I still have that mindset that I had when I struggled to pay my rent.
It never quite went away.
And in many ways, I think it's a good thing.
But it brings us back to self-reliance, which nobody seems to want to talk about today at all.
Anyway, Melanie, I know we got a little off course there.
I hope that was a helpful conversation for you.
I love your point.
I raised three children to love their country and constitution.
And people like you and your message that you just gave had a lot to do to help me to develop that love and their value system.
So thank you for your perseverance and determination in taking my home.
Thank you for giving me this microphone every day and that camera.
I know you got to suffer watching it every night, but makeup helps a lot.
Anyway, Melanie, thank you.
