Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
It's almost like a weekly TV show.
Yeah.
Indictment.
Indicted into Jewish.
When we invest in clean energy and electric vehicles and reduce population, more of our children can breathe clean air and drink clean water.
Soon, Nana will be the 32nd freestanding, have 32 freestanding members.
Freedom is back in style.
Welcome to the revolution.
Where we are coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a contra song.
Sean, Henny, you do the new Sean Hannity show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold, inspired solutions for America.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup, information overload hour, 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, by the way, program reminder, if you're in the New York, Long Island, and New Jersey area and you want to join our town hall Tuesday with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., you can go to Hannity.com.
All the details, tickets are free, and we'd love to have you join us.
All the details are there.
You don't want to miss it.
It'll be fun.
At least I think it'll be fun.
I hope it'll be fun.
Anyway, we'll get to your calls coming up this hour.
That I promise for sure.
A lot of issues involving the economy.
Not a lot of it really good news for the American people.
And one story in particular ought to make every American apoplectic and livid and angry and upset because there's a quiet new way that the Biden administration would like to tax all of you, the American people.
You know, what's certain in life?
Death and taxes.
And anyway, now Americans have been crushed by Biden inflation, crushed by Biden high energy costs.
Everything we buy, every store we go to, costs more because of his energy policies and economic policies.
But over the last couple of years, Biden and Treasury Secretary Yellen have been negotiating what's called a global minimum tax through the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the OECD.
This organization surrenders pretty much American sovereignty over our tax code and allows foreign countries to take our taxes.
Let me say it in a way you'll understand.
Money from your pocket and the development of this organization.
In short, Biden and Yellen were absolute failures, just like they were in the Paris climate accords, just like they are with Iran, and they can't negotiate themselves out of a wet paper bag.
And now, hopefully, Republicans will clean up this mess.
And, you know, at a time when the U.S. is actively vying to stay competitive in an evolving global economy and China's looking to devalue our dollar and remove the dollar as the world's currency, you know, here are the globalists, World Economic Forum, you know, Paris Climate Accords, UN, is there, now we're going to have a global minimum tax that they want to put on the American people.
Your money, you're going to be taxed.
The world is now going to tax you?
You got to be kidding me.
This is on top of everything else.
Biden is out there trying to run on Bidenomics.
Well, here's a factoid that might be of interest to you.
You need $1,000 in earnings today to be able to buy what $862 could have bought you when Biden first took office.
Well, I think that's a pretty significant amount of money on top of the average household having a $10,000 Biden inflation tax.
Anyway, here to weigh in on this and so much more, we welcome back to the program our friend Steve Moore, author of the bestseller Trump and Omics Inside of the American First Plan to Revive Our Economy.
E.J. Antoni is with us, and he's a research fellow, Regional Economic Center for Data Analysis.
Welcome both of you back to the program.
How are you?
Good.
Well, Sean, thanks for having me.
Well, explain to me this new tax that Biden wants to impose on the American people.
Steve Moore.
Well, let me just address one thing.
You mentioned a lot of things there in that opening, and you mentioned the fact that the left wants to, these Greens want to abolish air conditioners.
I mean, can you imagine living in Texas or Las Vegas or New Mexico today without an air conditioner?
How crazy are these people with the temperature, you know, 100%?
Actually, they said that there are areas in the country that if you didn't have an air conditioner, your odds of dying were significantly higher because of this massive heat wave.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, the number of people, by the way, who have died from weather-related incidents, you know, left, oh, there's more tornadoes and hurricanes and heat waves, which is all untrue.
But the number of people are dying from weather events has fallen by about 90% over the last hundred years because we do have electricity, because we do have air conditioners, because we do have refrigeration.
So these people would take us back to the Stone Age, and I know you've said that before.
Quickly, on this global minimum tax, it makes me infuriated because, you know, for my whole career, I've been in this for almost 40 years now.
The whole objective was to make America, going back to Reagan, the lowest taxed country in the world.
You know, this was supply-side economics.
Lower our tax rates and we'll get money and we'll get jobs from the rest of the world.
And it worked for Reagan.
It worked for Trump.
And now we've got our Treasury Secretary undermining American sovereignty and our economic advantage by trying to have a global tax so that you can't compete on the basis of taxes, which would raise our taxes.
And incidentally, the continent that's most in favor of this, Sean, as you know, are the Europeans, the French and the German and the Italians.
Why?
Because they have socialist countries with high tax rates.
So now we're going to emulate Europe?
No, I don't think that's a very strong good idea at all.
I think it's a disastrous idea, and nor can we afford it, Steve Moore, especially because we have unilaterally disarmed in terms of energy production and now at the mercy of countries that hate our guts.
EJ, let's get your take.
Sean, I think that really is spot on.
You know, the government does not like competition.
And so when you have different nations able to tax at different rates, that's exactly what it is, competition.
They're competing for businesses.
They're competing for residents.
If taxes get too high in Spain, for example, you can move to England.
You can move to the United States, et cetera.
But if these governments can establish what is effectively a cabal and they can all have the same high level of taxes, you eliminate that competition mechanism.
And then governments can continue siphoning off wealth from their citizens instead of doing what they're supposed to do, which is protecting their citizens and protecting their rights.
You know, it's just unbelievable to me.
I mean, this is like, you know, one world order sort of stuff.
But America, it seems, Steve Moore, has, under the Democrats, not American firsters like you are, like I am, and EJ.
I believe we should put our country first, our economy first.
And I really don't think that we should be spending the money that we don't have and robbing from our kids and our grandkids, but they continue to make the same dumb mistakes anyway.
But the reality is that they really want globalism on this level.
You know, now we're going to be offering, what, the Green New Deal worldwide, and the American taxpayer will have to hand over every penny they make to each according to the need, from each according to their ability.
Where are we headed with this?
Well, do you remember when Donald Trump used to say that the rest of the world is laughing behind our backs?
Well, they're laughing in front of our face now.
Yeah, and on this one, they certainly are.
And they can't believe, just like China and Russia can't believe that we've dismantled our energy, all these European countries can't believe that we're going to make a deal with them and raise our taxes way up to reach their level of taxation.
Do you remember, Sean, under the Trump tax cut, which Larry Tudlow and I and Laughler and some others really helped Trump put together, one of the features of that was what we call the repatriation tax, which was companies encouraging companies with lower tax rates to bring money back to America and invest here rather than investing in Mexico or Japan or China or India.
And do you know how much money we brought back, Sean, from that?
How much?
$1 trillion.
$1 trillion.
Do you know how many that it's no wonder we had record high employment, the lowest inflation and the lowest poverty rate for Americans in 50 years, if not ever.
I mean, those policies work.
And what Biden is doing is systematically undoing all of the positive things that Trump did for our economy.
You know, I mean, this is the thing.
All of the problems that we have at our border, all the problems with law and order by defund dismantle the police, the problems with the high cost of energy, which has now had a ripple effect all throughout our entire economy, you know, as we teeter on the verge of a recession, you know, more than doubling the interest rates that Biden inherited and still going higher.
I expect more rate increases in the months ahead.
And it's like nobody seems to really fundamentally understand that this type of reckless spending doesn't work.
And yet they seem to want to go deeper and deeper and deeper into all of it, E.J., and they never learn their lesson.
No, Sean, because they just haven't spent enough, right?
Every time they do this, it's like the old refrain about those people who still think we need to give communism another go.
They have the hubris to think that everyone else before them did it wrong, but if only they had the reins of power, they'd manage to make this failed system work.
No, it hasn't worked before.
It never works, and it's not going to work in the future.
And the more we double down on it, the worse the pain gets.
And one of the ways in which this proposal of having this global tax cabal is so insidious is not only just that the governments can institute a high level of taxation, but they can further manipulate the tax code to achieve their various ends, including some of the things that you were talking about earlier with penalizing fossil fuels, for example, and promoting other sources of energy that are not that clean and then are not reliable and that Americans don't even want.
But all of that becomes a lot easier when there is nowhere to turn, when you can't escape from one nation to another to use a different tax code, for example, to buy something or sell something or even just live and have a business.
You know, I just, I don't think if you wanted to make things bad, this is the way to do it.
Quick break.
We'll come back more with Steve Moore and EJ Antoni on the other side, 800-941.
Sean, your call's also coming up.
A great Hannity.
Set your DVR.
We'll tell you about it coming up 9 Eastern on the Fox News channel.
If you want to be, if you're in the New York, New Jersey, Long Island area, anywhere in between, Westchester, you want to see the RFK Junior Town Hall details.
It's next Tuesday.
It's on Hannity.com.
Tickets are free.
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 Podcast, or wherever you listen.

We continue with Steve Moore and E.J. Antony as we talk about the economy and other issues.
Steve Moore, I want to ask you about this new ad.
It's an Unleash Prosperity Now ad, comparing Democrats to George Wallace over the issue of school choice, which most Democrats oppose.
I know this ad has come under fire.
I want to talk to you about it on the other side.
Let's play it.
And I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, and segregation forever.
In 1963, Alabama Governor George Wallace stood in the schoolhouse door to keep black children out of the best schools.
In 2023, a new generation of George Wallace Democrats is again blocking schoolhouse doors, opposing popular school choice programs.
In states like New York, Arizona, Illinois, Nevada, North Carolina, and Texas, Democrats are fighting programs that give black and Hispanic parents the ability to send their kids to the best possible schools.
Yet many of these same politicians send their own kids to private schools.
It's time for every child in America to finally have equal access to good schools.
All right, Steve Moore, let's get your take on this.
One quick reminder, it was Joe Biden that partnered with the former Klansman, Robert KKK Bird, and tried to stop the integration of public schools.
Joe Biden, he didn't want our public schools to be, in his words, racial jungles.
So I really believe, Sean, that the most important civil rights issue of our time right now is school choice.
If you look at the abysmal schools in our inner cities, whether it's in New York or Cleveland or Washington, D.C., where I live, or Chicago, where I'm from, you have half those schools.
The kids, the vast majority of the kids can't even read, write, or do arithmetic at grade level proficiency.
I mean, it is child abuse what's going on in these government schools.
And you have a lot of the good news is there are a lot of states now.
I think we have 14, mostly red states, that are allowing the money to follow the child.
And if the public school isn't working for you, you can go to a Catholic school or a Jewish school or a Montessori school or a science school.
Competition is a good thing.
It's amazing that the Republicans are now all in favor of that, letting minority kids and low-income kids go to the best school they can.
And who's opposed to it, Sean?
It is people like the governor of Pennsylvania, who, by the way, campaigned on school choice.
He campaigned on it.
He authored a bill, and when the bill came to his desk to provide 10,000 vouchers for low-income students, he vetoed his own bill.
You know why, Sean?
Because the teachers' union said no.
The Democrats are beholden to the unions, not the black and Hispanic kids.
This is an outrage.
And one other quick thing, Sean, they're such hypocrites.
Most of these Democrats who oppose school choice, they send their own kids to private schools.
Amazing.
What hypocrisy.
You know what?
If Republicans own the issue of school choice for every single student in this country and the issue of safety and security in every town and every city, they will be the dominant political party for years to come.
And anyway, those are two of the best things they could do and stay out of the globalist insanity economically of these new Green Deal radical climate alarmist religious cultists.
Anyway, we appreciate your time.
Steve, thank you.
EJ, thank you.
800-941-Sean, our number.
We'll get to a lot of your calls coming up straight ahead.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
I want to tell you about my friends at Lone Star Transfer.
Now, if you have a timeshare, you know how difficult in the past it's always been to actually book your own timeshare.
Most clients are now shocked to learn that their timeshare is available to the public.
That limits booking options even further.
And many owners also have reached out.
They're upset.
They should be.
Their yearly dues have nearly doubled yet again during this maintenance fee season.
Now, for well over a decade, this family-owned company has had the pleasure of helping tens and tens of thousands of owners legally and permanently get out of their never-ending timeshare fees.
They have an 8-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau.
They've got hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of five-star testimonials.
Their clients know that Lone Star Transfer is the only company they can trust.
They're the only company I trust.
And Lone Star Transfer will guarantee in writing, by the way, the release of all liability to your timeshare and in a specific time frame.
So do yourself a favor, call my friends, get a free no obligation consultation.
Call them now.
It's 833-594-0075.
833-594-0075 online.
One word, lonestartransfer.com.
That's lonestartransfer.com.
All right, let me, by the way, what, let me first play Jason Aldeen, who, by the way, is getting defended by a lot of people here.
What a lot of people don't understand, he's got this new song out.
It's actually a really good song.
Try this, that in a small town.
And with that, he works with an outside company to put together music videos.
Now, what a lot of you may not know is, you know, they showed this Nashville courthouse, and this was on Foxnews.com.
And there's a company that produced the music video.
It's called Tackle Box.
And there's so much in this trying to say, well, this is a pro-lynching video by Jason Aldean because he intersperses inside of the video footage of what actually happened in the summer of 2020 with all the writing that was taking place around the country.
Let me remind you, 574 riots, a couple of dozen dead Americans, billions in property damage, even police precincts burned to the ground.
And of course, thousands of cops injured, pelted with bricks, rocks, bottles, and Molotov cocktails, and even worse.
So, you know, try that in a small town.
He's making a point.
Anyways, this claim that Jason Aldean chose this Nashville County courthouse in a backdrop because a lynching took place there in 1927 is absurd.
That courthouse has been used as a backdrop in dozens of past movies and videos, including a Christmas movie made by Paramount Studios.
In other words, they have a library when you, that they purchase certain rights to locations that they put as backdrops for music videos, movies, et cetera, et cetera.
Anyway, so the company that produced the video told Fox News Digital that the courthouse is popular.
It's a popular filming location outside of Nashville.
It has been featured in a number of music videos and movies.
And they cited several music videos and movies that have recently filmed at the courthouse, including recently a lifetime original television movie, Stepping Into the Holiday with Mario Lopez and Jaina Kramer.
Is anyone accusing them of this being a pro-lynching movie?
No, nor should they.
TackleBox also noted the location was featured in a runaway June music video for their 2019 song, We Were Rich, as well as the 2022 Paramount Holiday film, A Nashville Country Christmas with Miley Cyrus, Tanya Tucker, and the Miley Cyrus film Hannah Montana, the movie.
No, I know Billy Ray Cyrus.
And you know what?
His daughter is extremely talented.
And even though she's controversial, probably doesn't agree with the thing that I say, I don't care.
She's not a racist.
That's not how these things work.
Anyway, here's Jason Aldean.
You know, forcefully, him and his wife, rightly, are saying this is total Adam Schiff and we're not taking this.
Okay, you know what?
Talking about small town values where everybody in this day and age looks out for each other.
It's unbelievable.
Anyway, but if you listen to those geniuses and that hard-hitting news show, The View, they're just ripping Jason Aldean's video.
They don't know a thing about the history and the use of this courthouse and how it's libraried material.
And God forbid there'd be a little bit of thought behind what actually goes on in the making of these videos.
And these artists, they have nothing to do with that part of the production.
Their job is to go out there and sing, usually before something called a green screen.
Do you know that's how most videos are produced?
They stand in front of a screen that's all green behind them, and then all the video stuff is inserted behind them, unless they're doing something other than playing.
It's unbelievable.
Here's the geniuses over at the View.
But there is an issue of violence, of looting, of rioting.
Why are you linking it to black people?
Well, that's the issue.
That's the issue.
The imagery is what becomes very problematic.
Again, you can sing about you.
You know, there's a lot wrong here with this.
This is a man who saw what happens when someone is out of control with their guns.
Yeah, he's someone formerly.
He was living in Vegas and he saw people get, so I don't understand how he could be that disconnected.
How people around him didn't say to him, hey, listen, you know what?
Maybe there's a better way to do this because the imagery invoked race.
That's what was fixed.
I'm actually not going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
And I'm pleased that you are.
And I'm going to say that.
Do you agree that he should be allowed to say whatever?
Because as a lawyer, when I put my legal hat on, I don't believe in censorship.
However, this man is from Macon, Georgia.
My father's from Augusta, Georgia, and Macon, Georgia.
I spent many summers there.
Yeah, both.
I spent many summers there.
It is one of the most racist places in this country.
So don't tell me that he knew nothing about what that imagery meant.
So I don't give him the benefit of that.
But I'm saying along with him, more people should also be.
The other thing is that what was evoked for me, which was, you know, you're not going to get out of this town, are those sundown on you?
Because there were times when black people, my mother and father, because they were an interracial couple, were run out of South Carolina by the KKK.
I just can't take it anymore.
I mean, this is so over the top.
And does it ever matter that people can have context and texture and any understanding?
Their minds are so closed.
Unbelievable.
Charles Barkley, what happened to Sir Charles Barkley?
Why do they call him Sir?
Was he knighted or something?
I don't.
I didn't know.
Jason, they call him Sir Charles.
Yeah, they call him Sir Charles.
Why?
I don't even know.
I don't know.
I'm asking.
I don't know why they call him Sir Charles.
They used to call him the round mound of rebound back when he was really fat.
Ouch, that is so mean.
Well, he lost, he lost weight because that's shaming.
Anyway, I can't keep up with all the names.
I really can't.
Anyway, Charles Barkley just rips people that are critics of Bud Light.
I'm like, how about believing in freedom and calling them, why is he calling them rednecks?
Listen to this.
I'm going to buy some drinks for y'all.
And I'm going to buy Bud Light.
Hey, let me worry something.
All you rednecks or who don't want to drink Bud Light, hey.
Y'all can't counsel me.
Hey!
Hey, I ain't worried about getting counsel.
Because let me tell you something.
If y'all fire me and give me all that money, I'm going to be playing golf every fing day.
So listen.
As I said last night, if you're gay, God bless you.
If you're trans, God bless you.
And if you have a problem with them, you.
Rednecks, F you.
By the way, he fits in perfectly.
Apparently, he's gotten a show on fake news, CNN.
I don't know when the show is.
But that's the whole thing.
He's calling them rednecks.
He's telling them they're not tolerant.
So it's like, I'm entitled to my opinion.
If you don't like my opinion, go F yourself.
I'm like, you're literally pot kettle.
And didn't I not try to stand up for the workers at Anheuser-Busch and delineate between the people that drive the trucks, that have the routes?
They don't even support the dang brand.
That's the problem, though.
They've invested their entire lives working for a company.
How many of these people now are going to end up getting let go and fired, maybe lose their pension because of management's dumb decision?
And the worst part is they doubled down and tripled down on stupid brands that are opening because of them.
That daddy brand they're all going to go there.
Conservatism is on the rise.
And people, whether quietly or very, very loudly, like Jason Aldean, are letting their voices be heard, whether with their dollar or their mouths.
You know, it's amazing because there's no problem saying anything you want about January 6th.
That's one riot.
We condemned it on this radio program in real time.
Condemned it that night on TV.
That's what's so sad about the view.
And even yesterday, we didn't talk about it too much because we were running the monos, but you know, when Joe Ziglar and Gary Shapley gave their testimony, and then they have this very long day of back and forth with members of Congress.
And both of them very respectfully said, we look forward to your questions.
But instead, they got these ridiculous, racially motivated talking about black and brown people.
What are you talking about?
We are here to talk about Hunter Biden and the fact that he lied and did not commit to the money that he received illegally and some legally through these LLCs with his dad.
And they're talking about lynchings.
We want to know how much money the Biden family made from all of these countries.
You have IRS whistleblowers that Democrats, liberals used to like, and apparently they don't like them that much.
All right, I promised I get a call in here.
Let me say hi to Mark in Oklahoma.
Mark, how are you?
Glad you called.
Doing very good, Sean.
I've been a viewer since 1999.
Oh, thank you, my friend.
I know my hair is getting a little more white in there, but you know what I'm never going to do?
I'm never getting a Manny Petty.
I'm never going to use Botox.
By the way, there are guys on TV that use Botox.
Did you know that?
I didn't know that until fairly recently.
I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
It just is so, it's just the opposite of who I am.
It's the antithesis of how I think.
You want to tell everybody what you have for lunch today?
And I'm never dying my hair.
Yeah, the hot dog today.
You got to tell him, though, this is the manly man you are.
You came in, you brought your own hot dogs, old school New York hot dogs.
I brought a sobrett because I asked you guys to get me the right hot dog.
You got me these crappy hot dogs.
They don't have those ones here in the city.
You got to get them all.
It's a New York hot dog for Crano.
But it's run by Mayor Adams.
It's not New York anymore.
Yeah, true.
Anyway, let's go to Mark.
Mark, sorry.
Yes.
That's okay, Sean.
Hey, I wanted to talk to you a little bit about the town hall last Tuesday night.
I was very excited going into it.
I called all my family in Texas, and we were all watching because we've seen some changes in Donald Trump recently.
You know, instead of talking so much about grievances and the past, he's speaking more about the policies, the MAGA policies, and looking forward to what he's going to do to straighten out the mess our country's in right now.
And watching the town hall, and my family kind of corroborated this.
There was a lot of time spent on talking about things in the past, you know, even talking about Hillary Clinton's 33,000 deleted emails and things like that.
And Sean, just to be honest with you, I think it's time now with 16 months till the election that Trump and the interviews that he does focus on the policies going forward.
Well, let me tell you, I'm on the same page as you.
Let me tell you that my plan for that town hall was exactly what you wanted.
I was going to focus on what are the problems, identify them that we're currently facing, economic problems, foreign policy problems, and then talk specifically about solutions.
You know, when a big story like the fact that he got a target letter becomes the overwhelming news of the day, my entire plan for that town hall had to shift.
I'm in the news business.
That's the way it worked.
Unfortunately, that's the way it worked.
My entire plan was not to do an interview because he's already done those town halls.
He's done a couple of them.
However, breaking news, it just got in the way, and the context was relevant because of the news, because they didn't treat Hillary that way or Joe Biden.
But I promise you, the next one is going to be on exactly what you're asking because that's what I had planned for on Tuesday night.
I promise you.
I promise you that.
Okay, that's good because I just think that Trump needs to make a pivot now.
It wasn't his fault.
I am in the news business.
He had not commented publicly at all on that target letter.
I had no choice.
Right.
I understand.
I remember you saying that right from the start that, you know, and he started talking about how he got a letter on Sunday night and who gets a letter on Sunday night from the DOJ and things like that.
So I understand, Sean.
And, hey, I'm sticking with you.
I know you're doing the best you can and everything.
But I just feel like a lot of the voters are working people and they're taking care of their kids and they're trying to pay their bills and everything.
And they don't have time to talk about all this past stuff.
They want to look toward the future and somebody that can fix this mess.
I totally agree with you.
And I promise you, stay tuned.
We'll do it again.
I promise.
All right, that's going to wrap things up for today.
We had the RFK Junior hearings today, an announcement about UFOs.
We'll get into that.
Jim Jordan on the whistleblowers and are the walls really closing in tight on Joe Biden and the Biden Family Syndicate.
We've got full coverage, breaking news with John Solomon and Greg Jarrett tonight.
Tommy Laron, Curtis Slewa, Charlie Hurt, and Pete Hagseth.
Nine Easterns.
Set your DVR.
News you will never ever get from the media mob.
That's why you need to set your DVR.
