This is an iHeart Podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markovich.
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.
All right, News Roundup Information Overload Hour, 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
We played this for you yesterday.
We have an update today.
I'll get to it in a second.
You know, first it was Joe Biden attacking my friend and my colleague, who's done a phenomenal job for Fox News, Peter Deucey.
This is Joey calling him a son of a bitch.
Here's uh Joe Biden, your president.
We changed it.
That's a great asset.
More inflation.
What a stupid son of a bitch.
you What a stupid son of a bitch.
Not to be outdone, is soon to be, I guess, soon to be MSDNC contributor, uh, Jen Circleback Saki.
She decides to follow the boss's lead.
Listen.
So we have to talk about Peter Ducey for one side.
Sure.
Okay.
Okay.
Is he a stupid son of a bitch?
Or does he play a super son of a bitch on TV?
Okay.
Um, um he works for a a network.
Okay.
That um provides people with questions that nothing personal to any individual, including Peter Ducey, but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.
Not personal, but if it would make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.
By the way, Linda, does that mean that I now have carte blanche?
I can now, the woke mob is now put their seal of approval on me calling people stupid sons of bitches, and I am I allowed to do that.
I don't know.
I don't I don't think those rules apply to conservatives.
Just pick anybody in your own mind.
Imagine one or two people.
Uh and I said, Yeah, but that guy's the son of a bitch.
That girl's a son of a bitch.
If I said that, am I gonna get in trouble?
Why think the reaction would be a lot different?
I think it would be a whole lot different, absolutely.
It'd be a whole lot different.
But I'm not gonna do that.
But let's try it though, just for fun.
Let's do it today.
All right.
I want I want to do it today.
I want to stupid Yeah, she's well, first she lies.
Nobody provides Peter Ducey questions.
Peter Deucey is smart, hardworking, intelligent, uh tough as nails reporter, who by the way is also very, very respectful.
And Jen Saki spent the last 14 months uh clearly auditioning for her job.
She'll fit in perfectly with all the other liars at MSD and C, and there's quite a bit of them.
You know, they pushed the Russia Trump hoax for three plus years.
Uh some of the very same people that lied about Nicholas Sandman, uh, some of the very same people that called the Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation.
Uh anyway, she she herself had called that laptop Russian disinformation.
She'll feel right at home at MSDNC.
You know, she still refuses to correct the record.
You know, that she's part of the holier than now conspiracy theorists and dishonest partisan hacks that are out there.
Uh she lied about our borders, saying, Oh, we don't have a crisis at the border.
Meanwhile, her own eyes showed us something very different.
We had kids living on top of each other in Joe's cages in the middle of a pandemic, and she says, Well, uh, we don't have to give them COVID tests.
We give preferential treatment to illegal immigrants.
No COVID tests, no vaccine mandate.
Why?
Because they're not going to be here very long.
Here at meetings, I guess in that exact same spot where they are, because they were getting free transportation to obscure airports at 2, 3, 4 a.m. in the morning.
And when she was called out on them being early morning flight, uh late late night dumps of flights.
Oh no, no, they're early morning flights.
Another lie of Gen Saki.
You know, she she was further went out lied about Afghanistan and lied that Americans were stranded were not stranded when in fact they were.
By the way, it's day 248, still abandoned.
Joe never talks about them.
Uh she repeatedly lied about their progress at the border.
Uh 2021, the worst year for illegal immigration, and yet they just ignore all of it.
Blames Putin for the rise in gas prices.
We pointed out that lie with our own charts.
Blames Putin for inflation.
We pointed out that lie with our charts as well.
They're lying about all these things.
They're even lying about the price of hot dogs.
And actually accusing Republicans of supporting the defund the police movement.
Another lie.
Anyway, here weigh in on all this.
Joe Paggs, uh host of the Joe Peg Show, Joe Concha, Fox News contributor, columnist for the Hill.
I think you'd have a great media television show on Fox one day.
It'd be amazing because he's like the only one that's not part of the you know reporter media uh blue check mark uh cult of I'll I'll retweet your lie if you retweet my lies.
Anyway, welcome back, both of you.
I think we should call going in because we have a Joe Paggs, we have a Joe Conch, and we have a Joe Biden all involved in this this conversation.
So you can refer to Bobby.
The only difference is the Joe Biden guy doesn't know today's Tuesday.
You guys do.
Right.
So go with Sippy Cup for him, go go with Joe for Joe Pags because he's earned it.
Well, I'm not sure.
You know I stopped the Sippy Cup thing.
You know why I stopped, Joe?
Why is that?
I stop because it's not funny anymore.
It's so serious.
I mean, did you see the mint montage I played last night?
Did you see the hand he he literally finishes a speech last Thursday and then turns around with his hand out to shake the hand, and there's nobody within 15 feet of him.
And it's not like he picked up on it right away.
One one thousand.
Two one thousand.
Oh, okay.
Finally, you know, figures it out at some point and then turns the other way and uh, you know, confused, walks off stage.
His wife is saying, Wave, Joe, uh, they won't let me read the Easter bunny had to save him.
I don't know what to say.
I I can't believe is there nobody in this guy's life, Joe Pegg, that loves him enough to stop him?
Well, I want to know who's inside that bunny suit the other day that saved him from answering questions about Afghanistan and Pakistan.
That was so bizarre.
Sean, it was bizarre.
But can I just get are we telling the truth today?
Sean Hannity.
Sean Hannity's been calling me a stupid son of a bitch for 20 years.
Let's be honest.
That's such a lie.
You're so full of Adam Schiff.
No, but when you watch this guy, and I did uh I did a quick video on him turning around, and I guess he was talking to the ghost of his father or something odd, and then he winks and nods at somebody.
I don't know what to do with it, Sean, because it is hilarious on its face, but it's not funny knowing that my grandmother died with Alzheimer's.
So I mean it's a real it's a real problem for me and for you because we morally don't want to hate on people that are suffering from something medical, and it clearly is.
Now, I want to ask you, Joe Concha, because you're you're a pro at this.
Um I've never seen Gen Saki break down before.
She's doing a podcast interview, condemning a series of anti-LG T BQ bills moving through state houses.
And by the way, everybody is miss purposefully misinterpreted uh and distorted and have been lying about even the bill down in Florida, the ne never say gay bill as they call it.
The word gay is not in the bill, number one.
Number two, it's about parents' rights, and it's the parental rights act of Florida, and it just allows parents to know that their kindergartners through third graders are not going to be indoctrinated into age inappropriate materials.
That's it.
And now, Jensaki, this is what happens in this interview.
For the first time I've ever heard, she breaks down crying.
What I will say is the political games and harsh and cruel attempts at laws or laws that we're seeing in some states like Florida, that is not a reflection of the country moving to oppose LGBTQ plus communities.
That is not what we see in data.
That is not factual, uh, and that is not where things stand.
This is a political wedge issue and an attempt to win a culture war.
And they're doing that in a way that is harsh and cruel uh to a community of kids, especially.
I'm I'm like gonna get a mo uh I'm gonna get emotional about this issue because I just it's horrible.
But uh, but you know, it's it's like kids who are bullied, and they're just like all these leaders are are taking steps to hurt them and hurt their lives and hurt their families.
And you look at some of these laws in these states and it's going after parents who are in loving relationships who have kids.
It's completely outrageous.
Nobody's going after kids.
Nobody's attacking children.
Nobody's allowing bullying.
Nobody supports any of that, Joe Concha.
Now, by the way, this comes on the heels of the Office of Government Ethics and Department of Justice, a watchdog group saying Saki's disparagement of Peter Deucey warrants a DOJ investigation because of her new pending uh job offer.
She'll be at MSNBC within two weeks, Sean.
Okay.
Two weeks, and yet she is still up there at that podium as press secretary.
So she's taking questions from the so-called news organization that she'll be working for very, very soon.
And she keeps going on these podcasts now.
Now I don't know if that was performance art or she has deluded herself into actually believing that Ron DeSantis' bill down in Florida really is a bill that says don't say gay, because not one time in that bill does the word gay appear.
All it does is, and Jen has kids my age.
So look, uh it's amazing how we can see this from two different perspectives.
Because I actually read the bill.
All it says is that kids between kindergarten and third grade, and I have a kindergartner and I have a second grader.
You're not going to talk to them in school about sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity.
And yet here she is openly lying about it.
And as you said, given the network that she's going to, boy, talk about a perfect fit outside of CNN, of course.
And then she showed zero class, zero, and did so in such a patently condescending manner as she always does, in talking about Peter Ducy, because we talked about this last night, but it bears repeating for your radio audience.
You could talk to anybody who's left Fox News over the last 25 years, even those who have animus towards the network, and all of them will say, no one ever told me what to say on the air.
No one ever told me what to ask on the air.
If if that ever happened, trust me.
I'm sure the CNN media team will be reporting it by now, but it's never happened.
So when Peter Ducey asks a perfectly relevant and fair question about inflation, which is a top issue for the American people right now, that's not a question supplied to him by the fictitious question supply department by Fox News.
All right, she's she bullying Peter Ducey by lying about him.
For the last twelve years, you know how but Joe, listen to me.
Is she bullying Peter Ducey?
You know, calling him a son of a bitch and and a liar, and that he takes questions from others and lying about him.
And you're right, the Cardinal rights and education bill just says it it it bar bans employees at schools and third parties from giving classroom instruction on sexual orientation or gender identity from kindergarten through third grade.
That's all says right.
She she is implying that Peter Ducey has to go to somebody at Fox who then writes their questions for him and then he presents them.
We know that doesn't happen.
You think Jackie Heinrich's running to somebody and saying, hey, I need some questions today, guys.
Peter's not working.
I'm the one who's going to serve as a White House press uh uh correspondent.
Come on, give me a break.
It does not make it.
I actually wish they'd come to me because I'd love to give them the questions, but that's never happened.
That would be interesting.
She didn't imply that.
She said it.
She literally said, I guess the question from somebody.
Quick break more with Joe Contra, Joe Pag's on the other side.
Look, global events have the potential to impact all of us through these cyber attacks, and we keep hearing a lot of chatter that more and more are coming.
LifeLock.com, 1800 Lifelhock, promo code Hannity, protect your good name, reputation, credit score, and finances.
All right, we continue our analysis of all things Gen Saki, Joe Pags, Joe Concha with us.
On this parental bill, Sean, you know I've got I've got children from age 30 down to age seven.
Uh when I went to school, when you went to school when Joe Concha went to school, none of us were was ever asked who do you want to have sex with?
Sexual orientation is about who you're attracted to and who you want to have relations with.
Gender ID.
I didn't I was throwing a rocks of girls till I was thirteen.
We're gonna teach an eight-year-old gender ID.
I don't think this bill goes far enough.
And it never says anything about don't say gay.
And you've got people like Ron Pearlman out there who hasn't read it.
Jen Saki, I'm guessing, hasn't read it.
Biden hasn't read anything.
Um at the end of the day, if you can lie about it enough, you gotta I guess you can feign some tears and get some people onto your side.
This bill is solid.
It should probably go until age twelve.
I got sex ed in school at age twelve, and it was biology.
Here's where babies come from.
If a teacher ever asked, wait a minute, we had the teacher last week we played the tape in New Hampshire to first grade students saying when babies are born, doctors guess whether it's a boy or a girl.
Not necessarily right.
They make a guess.
Now, why do I think that's not a guess?
You know, that's what it is.
Yeah, uh I guys, I ran into this last week.
I hate to say it.
My daughter, as I said, is eight years old and she plays in a soccer league, and there was a boy on the field.
And we were thinking, well, oh, is he younger and they allow younger boys to play in the girls' league?
Are they short players?
I'll go to the bench.
No, they're not.
And then it turns out that the boy's name uh it wasn't the boy name anymore, it was a girl name, and uh it was accepted that we had to play, and he was better than my daughter was, who's usually the best player out there because he was bigger and he was stronger, because that's the biology.
And I gotta deal with this at eight.
I mean, I thought I w uh maybe high school or college, I'd have to run into the situation.
Eight years old, I'm seeing that now here in New Jersey.
It's it's crazy, I believe it.
You know, and it's the type of thing, I mean, I uh I would argue it hurts women's sports.
Caitlin Jenner, I think gave the perfect answer.
Uh Caitlin Jenner can still drive the ball two hundred and eighty ninety yards, would do really well in any, you know, older LPGA tournament, but refuses to play because as she said, it's not about the testosterone levels now, it's about the testosterone levels of puberty and and and when you are 18, not not at this particular point in time, and there is a dramatic physical difference.
She said it, not me.
I had Caitlyn Jenner on the show, and I said, as Bruce Jenner, had you competed in the heptathlon against the women, how would you have done in 1976?
Caitlin Jenner said, I was the top athlete in the world.
How do you think I would have done?
I said, Well, that answers the question, right?
And even when asked that in a parking lot by TMZ, Caitlin Jenner's answer was it's about fairness.
If you're if you think you're a woman, if you think you're a girl, if you are inside, but you still went through a Sean, what you just said, puberty, and you go through all you've got thicker bones, denser muscles, you've got bigger lung capacity, bigger heart capacity, it's about fairness.
And that that should be the bottom line.
This was this was the poster child for the left until when.
Caitlin Jenner said, I'm gonna go get a job on Fox.
By the way, Calvin Jenner said it's it's gonna be about fairness.
And to be fair, I'm not gonna let any kid bully.
I never let my kids bully another kid.
Let me tell you something.
You want to get in trouble as my kid, you go bully somebody at school or or elsewhere.
Not gonna happen.
Not allowable.
All right, gotta let you both go.
Thank you both.
Uh Joe Pags, Joe Concha, 800-941 Sean, our number.
We'll get to your calls.
Quick break, right back.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
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 Podcasts, or wherever you listen.

All right, 25 till the top of the hour, 800 941.
Sean, our number, we'll get to your calls here in just a second.
I told you yesterday we have these 10 Democrats now, most of them up for re-election.
Uh people that never said a word during last year's record surge of illegal immigrants into the country.
They they didn't lift a finger, they didn't say a word, they're not outspoken.
They're doing it, it's an election year conversion.
The minute they get back to Washington, they're gonna go right back to repealing Title 42 and allowing as much illegal immigration as possible.
Now, all of a sudden, Joe has second thoughts about rescinding Title 42.
Anyway, here's what he said.
I'm title forty two answer.
Are you considering delaying living title for two?
No, what I'm considering is continuing to hear from my uh my uh first of all, there's gonna be an appeal by the Justice Department because as a matter of principle, we want to be able to be in a position where if in fact it is strongly concluded by the scientists that we need Title 42 that we'd be able to do that.
But there has been no decision on extending Title 42.
Does anybody know what the hell this guy ever says?
Because I have a hard time for following the bouncing insane ball of that is all things Joe Biden.
It's just pretty unbelievable.
Anyway, I think I I think a big part of it, if I may, just for a moment.
You know, it it was really scary because he literally was answering a question that wasn't asked.
He thinks Title 42 has something to do with the masks.
He's referring to scientists that are going to talk about our border because he has no idea what Title 42 is.
Because he wasn't supposed to take questions, and there was no Easter bunny to get between him and the press in the middle of this commentary that he gave on Ukraine, which was a whole bunch of nothing.
So it's just I mean, it's absolutely shocking.
But I think in more important news today, and I know this is not something that you want to talk about, but you're breaking you're you're breaking a record today, boss.
And I mean, you know, you didn't want to celebrate how long you've been on radio and TV.
I didn't do the show yet.
I have to do the show tonight to break the record.
Oh, please.
Are are you calling out tonight?
Because that never happens.
I'm gonna be in tonight, I'll be there.
All right then.
So let's just be preemptive about it and say, as of tonight, you are breaking a major record.
You will be the longest running cable news show in American history now beating the legendary Larry King.
Very specific.
The longest primetime cable news host in the history of cable news.
Neil Covuto's been doing this longer than me.
He was at um CNBC, but he's not in prime time.
And I and I congratulate him.
We don't agree necessarily on all politics, but as a person, I love the guy, he's a great guy.
But I also think one of the things that we should mention, and I know that you don't want to mention this, but not only are you getting this coveted and amazing um, you know, marker in your professional history here in your career.
Milestone, sure.
Okay.
I'm calling it a marker because I think you got many more miles to go.
But you know, I think you're you know, you're you're number one.
You're not just I mean, 13 years running number one in this primetime slot.
That's insane.
It really is.
The pressure is insane.
Uh you can ask as many questions as you want.
Let me be a little serious for one minute.
You know, is that song by Tim McGraw?
I'm sure you've heard always be humble and kind and you know, always be humble and true and all of that, you know, open doors and say thank you, and and all the all the things that we should all do to each other to make the world a better place.
Anyway, I the first thing is when they told me this that it was approaching, I said, no, no, no, no, that can't be.
I I'm like, because I feel like I started yesterday.
And I'm not um I I really feel that way.
I don't feel feel like I set a record of of any any kind, and I said, you guys really need to go back and check that.
I I doubt that's right.
And they went back and they checked and then double checked and triple checked, and they came back.
No, you're the you will be the longest running prime time cable news host in the history of cable news.
And I didn't I just don't know really what to think about it, except I feel a great sense of humility about it, gratefulness for it, appreciation of it.
Uh, the more I do it, the more I know how blessed I am to be able to do it, and that's radio and TV every day.
And I know that I I don't take myself seriously, I take the job seriously.
I don't care what my critics think.
I do this show to serve the American people that are underserved.
I mean, without talk radio and without Fox, I'm telling I I don't know what the state of the country would be.
I think people have finally figured out Joe's a cognitive mess because we started talking about it in 2020.
It's it takes a long time for things to resonate out, and Joe kept screwing up, that kind of helped.
And you were badgered for it too.
I mean, you were bad, you were badgered for supporting Trump.
Oh, yeah.
You're bad.
You were you were badgered for your commentary.
I can remember the Reverend Wright dates of Obama when we were doing all that research and people saying, You can't talk about this.
You can't talk about you know Trinity Church and black theology and Obama's ideology and that conversation with Stephanopoulos, You know, I mean, and going into the tunnels, you know, on the Gaza Strip and taking the helicopter rides, you know, with the Prime Minister of Israel or being in Vietnam or Singapore and interviewing President Trump at the Russia Summit, being in Finland.
I mean, real historical moments that when you go back and you say, you know, you want to bash somebody or attack somebody, you have to take a moment.
And I think what's interesting in the Forbes article is there's a lot of liberals watching your show.
A lot more liberals than are I mean, self-identified I am a liberal watching the show.
Yeah, it's interesting because it's more than watch MSDNC or CNN.
Look, I I I can only say this is you know, I've never been in in better shape in terms of physical strength in my life.
Um I dedicate an hour and a half a day to mix martial arts, and you know, I'm when we've taken it to a real whole new level.
And, you know, I I I just feel like I've just gotten started.
That may sound strange when you're telling me that I I broke this record that I might be thinking about winding down as long as this audience and and Fox's audience uh allows me, uh I'm gonna keep pounding away because I don't feel like my job is done.
I got a lot of people.
Not only should you keep pounding away, but I think that you know, one of the things that you realize, you know, because you know, with my grandmother always used to say this, God rest your soul, and man, was she right, you know, youth is wasted on the young.
And I think one of the things we realize is we get older and we're more seasoned, you know, you've got a better temperament, you know, you're keeping yourself healthier, you're eating healthier, you're doing things smarter.
And it's one of those things where now you can say, I've got the experience, I know how to do this better, and I am still strong, and I am still in this game.
And by the way, I'm beating all of you at it.
And you know, you would never say that, so I'll say it for you.
Because everybody out there wants to be a hater and they think it's so easy and they can do it better and they can do it smarter, or that you should say this, or you should attack this one.
It's like you have no idea the amount of work that goes into doing a three-hour radio show, a one-hour TV news show every single night.
And the amount of research and sources that we need.
And people got mad when I get mad when I say that I'm I'm like a marine in terms of in terms of my regiment.
I'm not comparing myself to a marine.
I'm saying that I am very disciplined.
I get up, I work out, I cook my breakfast, usually onions, spinach, and egg whites, and then I'm off to the races, and it's non-stop.
People need to get a life.
I mean, it's like you're so outraged by everything.
Don't you have anything better to do?
Do you have anything better to do to be outraged over every word?
You're parsing every get over it, you know.
We got bigger problems.
There is no there is no time of the day where that stops.
And there's a special sound for you, which my son calls it the Star Wars sound, which is hysterical.
But I have a special ringtone and text tone for you, and it's like, just when I said so.
No, it's all the time.
You're the only person I have on my phone that I don't put on silent.
It's the only person.
Well, sometimes it's really annoying.
That we're dealing with.
And then I get really fun texts from you.
Hello.
Yeah.
I'm I'm famous for those.
In all seriousness, boss, congratulations to you.
No, wait, let me say this to you because you you suck at taking compliments, so I'm just gonna force my way through.
I'm gonna do a Sean Hannity and talk over you until I get my point out.
Which is congratulations.
This is a huge mile marker, milestone achievement.
Um, you know, you actually interviewed Larry King a few times, and I think that he would be happy to pass this baton to you.
And uh I think it's really amazing.
So congratulations to you, many many.
This would have been CNN minus.
That would have been good.
Nobody expected this, these two crazy radio guys, Hannity and my friend Alan Combs who passed away, you know, would ever succeed at this.
Uh, I remember when I started, I was like, well, maybe I'll get three years out of this gig before they figure out that they should fire me.
And it's a blessing every day.
I'm grateful to Alan, he died way too young.
He was the real deal.
He was he was woke before woke.
I mean, but he everything he said he really believed in and had a great sense of humor, was a great guy, and he's missed.
But you know, that's actually one of the things in the article that you said, um, and I think it's it bears repeating, is you have to actually believe and mean what you're saying.
You know, one of the things that we're missing today is this echo chamber of just mantras and nonsense, and nobody actually knows what they're saying.
And so when you sit down And have a conversation with someone like you know, why do you think that, or why do you believe that, or why are you saying that?
And then you have like you know, a half an hour of answers, and then you say to somebody in you know in the woke movement, well, why do you feel that this person is whatever they're calling them?
And they're like, uh, I don't know.
I saw it on Instagram, and um, I heard everyone's getting together here, so I got a sign and put on a shirt and showed up.
I mean, there's absolutely no depth to their argument, but to yours, there's pages of it, you know, and you have a real background to what you're saying.
So kudos to you.
Listen, I'm also grateful.
I have the best radio staff in the history of radio, uh, between you and sweet baby James, and I I can't mention everybody, I'll forget people.
And the same with TV, have the best TV staff in in that I could ever imagine.
You're friends with all of them, and we all know.
They're great people.
It's an awesome, awesome team.
We have a text message, you know, six-way text with that everybody gets the crazy text messages from me at all hours of the day and night.
But really, it's the audience that we're out there serving.
And um, I honestly I I don't feel any different than I did day one.
I just uh if anything, I'm working harder than I've ever worked.
I would say we are saying that to pat myself on the back, it's just I feel a sense of urgency that I've never felt before for the country.
And this is not contrived.
What you're referring to in the article is what I I refer to.
It was actually captured really well by Howard Stern.
And by the way, what has happened to poor Howard?
I mean, he's I forget about it.
It's over.
It's it's so sad to me.
As I've grown up listening to him, he's he's he's kind of he's covet-freaked out, uh, wants to take away everyone's freedom.
Imagine the the king of free speech wants to take away freedom, but F your freedom.
Um, but putting that aside, he had a scene in private parts where he was starting in radio stations.
You start out in all right, now a check of today's weather, hazy hot and human, chance of late afternoon thunderstorms.
Uh high right now is 72 degrees, go to a super high of 89 right here on WWW.
Try to do that.
And the the thing that has happened over time that has to evolve over time because you don't know what the hell you're doing when you start this at the in these businesses and industries.
You can't teach it.
Uh, you have to start doing it.
It's not something you're gonna learn in college.
Oh, I'm gonna start my own syndicated radio show.
Good luck with that.
It's that once you become your authentic self, to the extent you can be your real authentic self and talk about the things that really energize you, motivate you, inspire you that you want to talk about and and give your unique take on it, is I think when you start to do the best work you're possible you're capable of.
And that takes a while for any host.
And um, everybody has their own unique style, and I don't know, I'm just very grateful.
I'm thankful to my staff and to everybody who's ever played a part in either of these shows.
I'm very grateful to all of them.
I couldn't have done this without everybody.
And you know, I'll be honest, I mean, I got a lot of good years in me.
Um we're gonna be watching tonight, we're gonna have we're gonna have to be a little bit.
But go ahead.
There's gonna be no lightning.
Uh there's gonna be nothing, everything's gonna be fine.
And uh at 10 o'clock tonight, it'll be official, and we're just really proud of you.
We're really happy for you, and congratulations.
You certainly're very grateful to everybody, and I also am most grateful to the audience because without you, I can't do this show.
You have the ability to fire me.
If you if you told me when I started in radio, and you know, my first paid gig uh didn't happen until 1990.
I started in 1987.
I I that I would be this fortunate, blessed.
Um, I wouldn't have believed it.
I've been extraordinarily fortunate.
And as much as I I've had the best radio and TV partners one could ever want in life.
Um people that just literally support uh who I am and let me be myself.
And you know, I'm never told by by anybody at Fox or on radio what to say and what not to say, what to do, what not to do.
I mean, they they kind of they they recognize that that I've got to be who I am.
And I I've just had the best partners in both television and radio, along with the best staffs ever in radio and TV, those past and present that work for me.
Some have gone to do gone on to do many great things.
And again, it's you know, I'm just grateful.
Everything is uh been a great blessing.
I thank God that I've had the opportunity to do this every day.
Been blessed to do this every day.
And I'm very grateful.
And uh here's to hopefully many more years to come, God willing.
Quick break, right back, we'll continue on the other side, and again, thank all of you.
Now we have predictions that gasoline nationwide, now over four dollars a gallon in every state, will be over six dollars a gallon in every state by August.
We have a baby formula shortage with the United States of America.
And Joe Biden and his administration's answer is go to your OBGYN doctor and see if they have any samples in their office.
This is not something that you can fix quickly unless you you you build up something equivalent to operation warp speed for baby formula.
If you do that, then guess what?
Uh some kids, by the way, reports are that they've been taken to the hospital because they don't have the baby formula.
Infants need either breast milk or baby formula.
I know that much.
I didn't know, I learned this week, I had no idea.
But according to a Biden administration official, men can officially get pregnant, carry a child, and abort a child.
Didn't know that either.
Learning all sorts of new things from the Biden administration, things that frankly I never thought I'd even discuss in my lifetime.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
Now I'm Carol Markovich.
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.
