	I'm Carol Markovich.
	And I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
	We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.

	Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
	All right, News Roundup and Information Overload Hour 800-941-SHAWN, if you want to be a part of the program.
	Really, really sad when you think of this anniversary now of what happened in Afghanistan.
	Remember, Donald Trump, he talked to the head of the Taliban, and he's told the story on air.
	And others have confirmed it's all true.
	And he said to the head of the Taliban, now remember his last 18 months as president, not a single American was killed in Afghanistan.
	Not one person.
	And we said to the head of the Taliban, now before we even begin any discussions about the possible removal, which would have included America keeping control of Bagram Air Base, which by the way, we built and is strategic, especially as it relates to our number one geopolitical foe, which would be China.
	But he said to the guy, before we have this discussion, I want you to know something.
	If you move one IOTA from where you are now stationed, and you kill one American is killed, I will eviscerate you.
	Just like I did the caliphate.
	Just like I did Solomani and Baghdadi and associates.
	Now, somehow simultaneously, I don't know if it was an email, I don't know if it was a fax.
	I don't know if it was a text.
	While he was speaking to the guy on the phone, sent the guy, the guy's actual location at the time of the phone call.
	Now, what message was Donald Trump sending to the head of the Taliban?
	I mean what I say, and I will blow you to smithereens if you dared to advance.
	Anyway, fast forward.
	Joe Biden is the president.
	He accelerates the American troops getting out of Afghanistan.
	But what's happening is the Taliban then goes on the march.
	They're not afraid of Joe Biden.
	And they start moving up, moving up, moving up.
	Joe Biden did nothing to push them back, which he should have done.
	The net result is the disaster where we lose 13 uh 13, you know, Americans at Kabul Airport, and many Americans abandoned behind enemy lines, and many Afghan allies abandoned behind enemy lines.
	87 billion dollars in military equipment abandoned by Joe Biden because of the idiotic withdrawal, and then the big lie, which is I'm not leaving until every American is out.
	Uh that didn't happen either.
	So now it's the two-year anniversary of the disastrous Afghan withdrawal, and it was an unmitigated disaster.
	I mean, there's no other way to put it.
	An unmitigated disaster.
	And it's so sad.
	And this guy is, you know, it was the New York Post had a great piece today.
	Two years after Biden's disastrous retrieve from Afghanistan, he still won't take any responsibility.
	As a matter of fact, he actually calls it a success.
	Tell that to the families that lost loved ones because of his idiocy.
	Mistakes.
	There was a report on Afghanistan withdrawal saying there was failure and mistakes.
	Do you want to meet that was mistakes during the withdrawal and before?
	No, no, all the editors coming back here.
	Remember what I said about Afghanistan?
	I said Al Qaeda would not be there.
	I said it wouldn't be there.
	I said we get help from the Taliban.
	What's happening now?
	What's going on?
	Read your press.
	I was right.
	Read your press.
	I was right.
	And then he's sending billions of taxpayer dollars to the Taliban, a terrorist organization.
	They still have not released Americans that want to get out of there.
	I was admitted to by Wink and Tony Blinken like six months ago.
	An unmitigated disaster by by any measure.
	It's pretty unbelievable.
	Anyway, uh uh let me play a couple other things here.
	Um, this is Joe Biden saying, Well, we're gonna get all Americans out of Afghanistan.
	Are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every American who wants to be out is out?
	Yes.
	So Americans should understand the troops might have to be there beyond August 31st.
	No, Americans should understand that we're gonna try to get it done before August 31st.
	But if we don't, the troops will be if we don't will determine at the time who's left.
	And if they're American force, if there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay till we get them all out.
	And then you have the former Army medic describing the chaos after the terrorist attack at the Abbey Gate, Kabul Airport, Afghanistan.
	Listen to this.
	I still carry these horrific scenes of Abigail, even the smell.
	Mothers carrying dead babies, the Taliban mercilessly beating people and civilians begging for their lives.
	The crew the the crowd grew more desperate and erratic, and they knew they would be left behind.
	On August 26th, after 11 days on the ground, I exited my vehicle near the Abbey Gate.
	I took 10 steps from my vehicle and felt a heavy punch to my chest.
	I looked up and saw a large plume of smoke and debris shooting into the sky.
	Immediately we ran towards the explosion.
	And the smell of feces and urine that constantly filled the corridors of H. Kaya was replaced with an overwhelming stench of iron.
	Screams from little children, women and grown men echoed in the tight corridor.
	Marines and corpsmen around me fought through tears to provide life-saving aid to our motionless and severely injured American brothers and sisters.
	Over the next hour, I tried to save the lives of countless Marines.
	We all tried our best.
	It was a nightmare.
	An injured Marine with blood soaked pants squeezed my hand as tightly as he could and looked into my eyes, yelling, I don't want to die.
	As we took the first trucks, truckload of Marines into the hospital.
	I reassured him that he would be fine, but as they carried him inside, I did not know if he would survive.
	Alright, joining us now, Marine Captain, active duty 2001 to 2006, Ray Barcott.
	Uh he is a prominent advocate for the Afghan allies left behind after the pull out of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
	And Joe Lottie, Marine uh vet, who was there for the evacuation uh in Kabul, and you know, heads up the Operation Allies Refuge uh Refugee Foundation.
	Uh thank you both for being here.
	Two years later, uh Joe, you were there.
	What was it like?
	First of all, thank you, Sean, so much for having me and and uh allowing me to, you know, and this community to speak on our experience.
	Um the situation on the ground is um, you know, when the whole thing was happening, I think the first word that comes in mind is desperation.
	Um and and even just that, you can't even put that those scenes of desperation into words.
	And you know, just the mere fact that all of this came down to just the final two weeks of August.
	Um, you know, the guys and the girls that came out and pulled this all together was you know very significant.
	I missed the fact that you know this was such a uh you know you know catastrophic withdrawal.
	So for two decades, we had promised the Afghanis that were helping us and supporting us and gathering intelligence for us.
	Uh we had told them that if the moment ever came that that they their lives would be in jeopardy, we'd get them out.
	Didn't we make that promise as a country to them?
	Absolutely.
	And you know, for the you know, just the mere fact that we hadn't left them behind.
	Um, you know, just it it it enrages me.
	It just makes me feel like this mission isn't over and until everybody comes home and um, you know, just the fact that you know this administration or the government when we came home and they were just so ready to move on and forget about Afghanistan.
	It definitely uh definitely hit hard on the community for sure.
	And didn't we leave behind computer information with the names and and and locations of many of the people that helped us over this you know two decade conflict?
	Yes, yes, and you know, just to add to that as well.
	And by the way, and and how many of those people have disappeared uh never to be seen or heard from again, or have just been outright killed in public?
	I I don't have the the statistics, but I hear about this every single day.
	And uh just adds insult to to the wounds that we uh beared the brunt of and you know, the fact that this government has just you know left all of us behind when it came to this situation.
	Yeah, and these guys were Joe's Joe's absolutely right.
	This is this is Ryb Barkha from With Honor.
	And Sean, thanks again for for having both of us on.
	You know, our interpreters who fought right alongside our marine units, our special forces units, they were in some of the dangerous, most dangerous jobs in the wars.
	Uh in fact, the only higher casualty rates were our brave explosive ordnance disposal soldiers and marines.
	No one else got as as hit, as killed, their families targeted.
	And the the very least that we could do is at least give them either over 80,000 Afghan allies who are here in the United States who have been vetted, and they're just sitting here in this legal limbo because Congress can't get it out of the way of itself and actually do the right thing.
	And that's why with Honor, our organization, which which gets more post-9-11 vets, those who served in Iraq and Afghanistan into Congress, into elected uh areas uh across government is so focused on doing the right thing.
	There's a bill, it's called the Afghan Adjustment Act, get it passed, get it passed this year.
	Uh it takes it takes effort, it takes you know, folks that are actually going to do the stand up and do the right thing here, and that's what we need to do.
	Now both of you are involved in efforts to get Americans that are abandoned out and our Afghan allies abandoned out.
	How is those how are those efforts going?
	Uh and and baby Bri will start with you.
	Sure.
	They are they are uh not going well.
	They went pretty the the initial evacuation, as Joe knows, uh was uh was completely chaotic, of course, but there was uh it was on all hands on deck for for the vets.
	I mean, the phone's blowing up, but we had a window, we got it, we got we ended up getting uh uh you know, eighty thousand Afghans to the United States, many of whom serve right alongside of us, all of whom have been bat uh vetted.
	Uh I hear very few examples of uh Afghan allies that are able to get out now.
	There are many that are every day getting death threats, some are getting killed, uh, but uh but but but but very little action.
	A lot of talk, very little action.
	And and are you hearing as as I've been hearing is that these people are being dragged out of their homes and either killed in the street or never to be seen or heard from again?
	Absolutely.
	I mean, every day this I mean I've been convinced every day that this is happening.
	You think Joe Biden has blood on his hands?
	Yeah, Sean, I uh I definitely believe that, you know, I think it's time for our president to to man up and admit some of these, you know, the responsibility of of what happened over there.
	Um I think that's a great first step is is to, you know, you know, uh actually honor these thirteen that that you know sacrifice their lives so that others may live.
	Um and then just to add um, you know, we're also a part of you know, the this organization called Moral Compass Federation, uh that represents different, you know, twenty-four other veteran groups that were still in this mission of trying to help all these Afghans that we left behind.
	Um and so that you know, this whole promise is is you know, to this entire community of GWAP veterans and and our Afghan allies that we owe it to them because if if not, you know, if President whatever the government is doing, you know, it it kind of relies on us to bear the brunt of this responsibility.
	Well uh you know, I appreciate everything you've done and and I want to thank you both for you know the the continued work.
	I know you can't talk a lot about it, but I appreciate both of you, and it's sad that we you know Joe Biden considers this a s success and the media won't cover it as usual because he's in the Biden protection program.
	Thank you guys, appreciate it.
	Uh is there a way people can help you?
	You have a website?
	Yeah, please uh please check out with honor.org and for this this bill in particular, it's led by M Congresswoman Marionette Miller Meeks from from Iowa, a great vet Republican, and uh we need to get this done so you can contact your Congressperson and tell them prioritize this.
	Let's get it done.
	Appreciate you being with us, guys.
	Thanks for everything you're doing.
	800-941 Sean, our number.
	All right, quick break, right back, we'll continue.
	Hey there.
	I'm Mary Catherine Hammond.
	And I'm Carol Markovich.
	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 now till the top of the hour, 800-941-SEAN, if you want to be a part of the program.
	I want to remind you of an important role as a parent and grandparent.
	You want to make sure your kids, your grandkids are safe at school and...
	And as a parent, grandparent, you gotta ask your school, maybe their child safety director.
	You gotta ask the principal, go to a board meeting.
	Ask if they have a Knox entry access system.
	Now that gets law enforcement into locked doors during emergencies that require immediate entry.
	The Knox Advanced Electronic E key technology can be used by local, state, federal law enforcement personnel.
	The ELOC system is also shared by multiple jurisdictions that accelerates access into all these buildings.
	It can be installed and managed by a single school or an entire district.
	Firefighters they've been trusting Knox products as their choice for access since 1975.
	And now Knox Entry Systems for School is providing law enforcement with the exact same resources.
	Anyway, talk to your school, send them to the website for Knox Entry.
	It's schoolentry one word.com.
	Schoolentry.com, and I would do that today.
	Uh all right, we welcome back uh to the program.
	Uh we're getting hourly updates from our the chief meteorologist of the Sean Hannity show.
	And that is Weatherbell.com's Joe Bastardi, uh, Hurricane Ida hitting uh Florida pretty hard this morning, at one point being a cat for hurricane, you know, now making its way through Georgia up until uh up to the South Carolina coast.
	Uh how hard are they getting hit and how hard will they get hit?
	They're looking at Charleston getting hit pretty hard and and some other coastal areas of South Carolina.
	Yeah, I think uh Savannah, Charleston, all the way up to Myrtle, uh Wilmington, probably gonna get uh 40 to 60 mile an hour winds.
	The very, very heavy rain goes to the west of the track.
	So that track is going to be on the Georgia South Carolina border, maybe about 75 miles west of Charleston, eight o'clock tonight.
	By tomorrow morning, it'll be located near Cape Fear, North Carolina.
	So uh the interesting thing is along the track, the wind is not going to be that bad until the storm uh is uh either with a storm approaching or the storm goes by.
	You folks on the outer banks for about six hours tomorrow, probably between midday and uh, you know, three o'clock in the afternoon.
	The winds could be gusting to hurricane force on the outer banks from the north.
	Here's what happens.
	These storms go inland, they rapidly weaken in the low levels.
	But the mid and upper levels stay relatively strong.
	As soon as they get back out over the water, everything lines back up, so the wind suddenly picks back up again.
	And the problem you have inland is that even you get 40, 60 mile an hour wind gusts uh with this uh situation, and you have six or twelve inches of rain, trees and power lines are going to come down.
	There's going to be a lot of flooding.
	Uh the the great thing is it's a fast mover.
	It's going to be on its way out uh tomorrow afternoon, tomorrow night, and then out into the Atlantic uh on uh Friday.
	I'm actually a little worried it turns back to the South and tries to produce a uh pr uh uh produce a big loop, but uh it would do so as a tropical storm in a week or something, so the real concern is over the next twenty-four hours.
	What is your advice then for the people you know being slammed in Georgia and and South Carolina and it's coming their way?
	I do find at times there are people that are very reluctant and resistant to leave their homes, if told to evacuate.
	I don't understand why, but they they just feel like they can write it out.
	Well, uh I would obey the local FEMA officials.
	They know that.
	Look, I gotta tell you, a couple years ago, my son and I went hurricane hunting down there with Ida, and you know, we rode out the storm and it was uh uh you know where we were, we knew how to be safe and all that.
	But when we were coming back, we got caught in one of the storm spirals bands.
	The storm was way inland over Mississippi, and it is amazing how fast water can rise.
	You hear about that stuff, and that is one of the big things.
	If you live next to a creek or a river or something like that, you can get these immense rises very quickly, or if you're on a highway, and you know, there's just looks like there's a little bit of water on the left and right of the highway a mile later, you're already surrounded.
	So, you know, it's you've got twelve to twenty-four hours to deal with it, rather be safe than sorry.
	Fortunately, it is in a weaker state than when it made landfall in that area of Florida that did.
	And by the way, this was a textbook case for intensification.
	If you follow me on Twitter or whatever, you saw us from last week talking about this.
	This is like a lot of Penn State meteorology in the 70s as to why this thing was going to intensify.
	Michael the same way, Ian the same way.
	These storms are very interesting, Sean, in that they're very intense at the center, but they're not as big as the old powerful storms, the Donna's the Carlos, which were much more wide and they had a lot more what we call kinetic energy impact at a larger area.
	But where this hits and where it goes by, it's a fist of fury for a while, and you've just got to batten down the hatches, let it go by, and then you come out, and you most people will be fine in two, three days.
	It will not affect their football weekend in the Southeast.
	I've had questions about that thrown at me.
	It'll be gone by then.
	Well, that that's religion down in the Southeast, so a good thing it's not gonna impact football.
	Uh Joe Bastardi will check back in with you next hour.
	You've been amazing today, and as always, we appreciate it.
	Weatherbell.com, uh Joe Bastardi, you're the best.
	Thanks, sir.
	All right, 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
	April is in Kentucky.
	April, hi, how are you?
	And we are glad you called.
	I'm fine, sir.
	Thank you for having me.
	Um, I wanted to talk about the GOP, or um, as I call them the Grand Overture Party, because they make all these great uh we're gonna do these hearings.
	There's constant posts on social media, there's constant interviews, constant statements, constant strongly worded letters.
	But ultimately, what it's come down to, there's no action, no discernible actions that the people can see that are aimed at actually stopping what is occurring.
	You know, they promise no eighty-seven thousand IRS agents, they promise the release of the J6 videos, you know, they promised to audit and look at what the funds that were going to Ukraine, and then what happens when we get to that massive debt spending limit, you know, they can't.
	The Republicans actually had some strong power there with their numbers.
	But instead of getting that money back uh of unfent money, they put an exemption in there.
	If you merged the funds, you get to keep them.
	You know, it when it came to auditing the Ukraine funds, they put the person in charge of the committee, and he changes from, well, instead of looking at the Ukraine funds, we're gonna look at why do we have so many white males in banking?
	I don't care the color of the skin of people in banking, I care that they're reliable and trustworthy.
	So let me answer.
	Well, first of all, the Republicans are gonna have a big test, and and I'm probably gonna agree with you.
	If I had to predict today whether or not all of them, and it's a slim majority, you gotta give, You know, you gotta have a reality check on that.
	And you have, you know, various points of view, and not every Republican is conservative.
	Um, I would imagine that that a lot of the things that I would do or conservatives in the House would want to do is not gonna happen, and and there may be consequences this time.
	That that to me has been so far their biggest failure.
	As it relates to the investigations, I think they've done a phenomenal job.
	And and they've done it with one obstacle thrown in their face after another.
	DOJ just sent another letter to Jim Jordan, I think yesterday, saying that they're not gonna cooperate and and hand over the materials that they have been requesting and subpoenaing.
	You know, to just like they didn't want to hand over this the suspicious activity reports, just like they didn't want to hand over the 1023 form.
	I mean, you know, Republicans have slowly, steadily been fighting, and and I think that the evidence, the walls are closing in on Joe Biden and this very real Joe Biden bribery, money laundering, scandal allegations.
	This is this is now a real political problem for Joe Biden.
	Well, and I think that's the problem.
	They're playing it as a it's a political game instead of realizing these are people Oh no, no, it's bigger than a political game.
	The next step will be the impeachment inquiry.
	I would make the argument we don't need the inquiry.
	I think we have enough evidence there to move straight to impeachment.
	Now the the problem for Republicans is they have a four vote majority.
	It's not very big.
	So if they don't get every single member on board, now when we get to that point, uh you will know the names of any Republican that that is not gonna do their job and hold Joe Biden and the Biden family send it account uh syndicate accountable because uh trust me,
	people like me will be all over it telling you every name every day because what they're doing if Donald Trump ever did this, uh it it the the whole he would be impeached and convicted if he had ever done this.
	Right, but that's what I'm saying.
	Instead of playing it the political game, the Democrats have set the precedent for local and state prosecutors to start filing charges.
	It's time to start putting the Democrats on the defensive instead of letting them constantly play the offensive game.
	You've got some prosecutors out there that need to step up.
	You have Maxine Waters who went out there and made these big statements that there's gonna be more needs to be more violence in the streets if Chauvin isn't convicted.
	Well, that's influencing a jury.
	You had Presley, you had Paris, you had Waters, you had Pelosi out there inciting violence during the 2020.
	Why haven't they been held accountable?
	Instead of leaving it all at the federal, start taking some of the steps the Democrats have done.
	Oh, I think I would have gone back and uh I think that's a good idea.
	However, if I'm prioritizing, I think the weaponization of the FBI and the DOJ would take priority, and that's Jim Jordan's committee, and the investigation into the Biden family syndicate, that that would take a uh a much higher priority for me as well.
	Uh but yeah, should we have had an the equivalent of a January 6th committee for the 574 riots in the summer of 2020 that uh killed dozens of Americans and injured thousands of cops and resulted in billions in property damage?
	Yeah, they still have the footage and they can show the pictures of the people that were never arrested, and we could follow through and and and we should have justice.
	But I gotta run.
	I appreciate the call, April, God bless you.
	Uh 800-941 Sean on number if you want to be a part of the program.
	Brad in Louisiana, Brad, hi, how are you?
	Glad you called.
	Oh, I'm doing good, Sean.
	I just had basically a comment.
	I'm a truck driver, and all over the country, the conversation I hear the most is that Trump and Biden are gonna be the nominees, and whoever loses is gonna go in jail, go to jail, and that's what's fueling both a turnout this uh election.
	What do you think about it?
	Well, I mean, obviously I I I don't think Donald Trump has fair venues.
	I'm beginning to be more optimistic that Mark Meadows and and others that have uh brought this case in Georgia saying that wait a minute, I was the the these were I should not be charged on a state level when I was acting as a chief of staff of the president working for the federal government.
	That would be that would be a federal issue to deal with.
	In other words, that Fannie Willis wouldn't have jurisdiction.
	I I think that's a very strong case, and And I think they can win that.
	We'll find out.
	It was interesting the way the judge came back, I believe, is asking now for is there if there are some actions that were offici official duties and some campaign actions.
	Uh does that warrant the this being a federal matter and not a state matter?
	I think I think the law is pretty clear on it myself.
	And I got one more thing, son.
	I owe you an apology and the rest of the country an apology.
	Oh, whoa, why do you want you don't owe me an apology for what?
	I do, I do because I voted for Joe Biden.
	He ran as a moderate middle of the road in the entire time you were saying don't fall for what it's the rules.
	You're gonna be the most radical president ever, and I didn't believe it.
	And look where we are, and I want to apologize to you and the rest of the country for not believing you.
	I'm sorry.
	You I I definitely accept your apology, but it's totally unnecessary.
	I'm I'm glad.
	I hope there are more people like you waking up to just how bad things are.
	You know who I feel sorry for?
	I'm not I'm not sitting here wringing my hands feeling sorry for myself.
	I'm not.
	I'm really worried about future generations, our kids, our grandkids.
	I'm worried about the 61% of Americans living paycheck to paycheck.
	I've been there, done that long enough time in my early adult life.
	It's not pleasant.
	Uh I'm worried about people, you know, for bare necessities, you know, running up their credit card debt.
	Uh I'm worried about China, Russia, uh, Iran, and and the world in the absence of a real president that knows what day of the week it is.
	It's very dangerous for the world.
	The world needs a strong America.
	And I just want to get our country back on track.
	I'm I'm I'm worried that people are just so obsessed with their hatred of all things Donald Trump that that they will do anything, you know, to to elect Joe Biden.
	And that means cover for him.
	That means, you know, just flat out lie.
	No, he's he's perfectly well.
	He's cognitively well.
	Why are you saying something like that?
	I mean, I'm still getting people like that, but you know, this this is this is bigger than it.
	This is for all of us.
	This country needs to be on a much better path.
	We're capable of so much more, and and I know and it can be fixed easily.
	All the problems Joe's created.
	We can fix them all.
	Anyway, I I hum I really appreciate your kind words.
	Glad you're you you've seen the light a little bit, and and that's all good.
	That means you're growing as a person and you're wide open, you know, you're you just you're open-minded.
	I like that a lot.

	Thanks for being with us.
	Up next, our final roundup and information overload hours.
	Real quick, uh, let's see.
	Chris and Marilyn, what's up, Chris?
	How are you?
	Hey, actually, I I do think Biden knows what day of the week it is.
	It's either ice cream day or beach day, right?
	I think you're probably right.
	Hey, listen, I wanted to call on a serious note uh for the abortion issue.
	Uh I know that before you you were talking about Mastriano and how he lost because of life of the mother, um, rape and incest, which I agree with you on that.
	But now I kind of feel like it's going back to, well, if it's just the first trimester, that's fine.
	I just feel like we need to stand strong on that issue.
	I feel like it's kind of a no compromise issue.
	I mean, we just had this huge victory in the Supreme Court.
	You know, why not just stand tall on that?
	You know, instead of just saying, eh.
	I'm just giving you, I'm not talking about the morality of abortion.
	I'm giving you political reality.
	I and then in swing states where 20,000 votes is gonna make all the difference.
	Suburban moms, Republicans will lose tens and tens and tens of thousands of votes.
	And I'm looking at the reality.
	And unless hearts are changed, it's not gonna change.
	Anyway, listen, pure talk, and by the way, what's your cell phone condition like?
	Is it in desperate need of a replacement?
