This is an iHeart podcast.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz and I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour, 800-941 Sean.
If you want to join us, oh, forgot to mention psychedelic legalization now approved by California's Assembly and Senate.
Great.
Magic mushrooms.
People whacked out on, you know, hallucinogens, walking around the same streets you walk around.
You know, we're every day talking about CRT and gender identity and all these issues that keep coming up.
We have one California judge halting a district policy in Southern California that required parents to be told if kids change their pronouns.
Now, another, following a heated hours-long discussion in Orange County, by the way, the school board there became the sixth California school system that would require officials to notify parents if their child identifies as transgender.
So, I mean, things are changing.
People, parents, or as the upper echelon of the FBI recognizes them as, you know, potential domestic terrorists, you know, speak out, they're having a pretty profound impact.
You have been Oklahoma, of all places, a district that hired a drag queen to be an elementary school principal.
That's facing a backlash.
A Miami school board, again, shutting down the LGBTQ month recognition.
Remember, most of these schools, we pay more as a country per capita for education with some of the worst results imaginable.
You can't even fight to make it that bad.
It's so awful.
Anyway, so all of this is what parents all around the country have been dealing with now for a long time.
And anyway, there is a new group out there.
It's called the National Opportunity Project.
And they are doing an investigation into schools and have done one on how children and diversity and equity and inclusion or DEI for short are more important than who's best for the job for kids.
A new investigation by this group now shows that the DEI hiring practices in K-12 schools require teachers now to show a commitment to left-wing ideology.
And anyway, they just came out with a report.
Some of their conclusions are, you know, they surveyed 70 public school districts across the U.S.
They found discrimination in hiring, guidance, and interviewing questions and teacher job postings and evaluation criteria.
They found left-leaning political ideology is a much larger focus than the core curricula that kids need to become successful in their lives.
Their new report validates concerns that many parents have had that most qualified teachers aren't the ones being hired in the schools.
And specific examples in school districts across the country, you know, are right in this report.
Now, Patrick Hughes is the president of this organization, and here's what he had to say about this report.
We did a survey of research on 74 districts across the country.
69 of those 74 responded using FOIA requests and public information and a number of other things that were at our disposal to compile this information.
And what we learned is that in numerous schools across the country, they are looking to hire teachers to teach children, you know, as young as kindergarten age, not based on their qualifications necessarily or on their educational experience as teachers, but oftentimes because of where they stand politically.
And the way that this is characterized throughout the process of looking to hire these folks is through diversity, equity, and inclusion, which sound like fair and things that people can get behind, but in reality are just a pretext to sort of backdoor in a particular political point of view or a particular social ideological point of view.
Patrick Hughes, president of the National Opportunity Project, is here now to give us a little more background and details on this.
Tell us more about what you did here.
Sean, thanks for having me on again.
Yeah, you know, when the COVID lockdowns came in place, parents became very acutely aware of what was going on in their kids' K-12 public schools.
And what they became concerned with is were their kids getting educated?
And then later, were they being educated or indoctrinated?
And so I decided to commission this report to determine what was causing sort of these left-wing ideological circumstances existing at schools.
And what we learned was teachers are being hired based on their allegiance to DEI principles.
So for example, in Spokane, Washington, Sean, they asked, what does a socially just classroom look like?
If you want to be an art teacher in Denver in the public schools, you have to lead for racial and educational excellence and work to dismantle systems of oppression and inequity.
These are political and social ideological requirements for teachers.
So what's happening then is they're not looking for the best educators, the best people who will teach our children going forward, who'll make our country stronger 20, 30 years from now.
They're looking for people who adhere to a particular political philosophy, the philosophy of the left, and then hiding it in principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
And what I think is really interesting about this is the Supreme Court's recent decision in Students for Fair Admission versus Harvard can potentially be applied to these types of circumstances if teachers aren't being hired because of their more conservative or non-political affiliation because all the teachers' unions and all these school boards who are influenced by the teachers' unions want to do is hire people based on their left-wing politics.
So the bottom line here is, so we pay more per capita per student in education than any other industrialized country.
And the results, you know, vary year to year, but we have some of the worst results overall.
You know, anywhere between, we come in anywhere between 37th and 43rd.
And so we're not getting any bang for our buck.
So it seems like what you're discovering is that they are hiring teachers that are good at and believe in the indoctrination of their values, which often circumvents the values of parents, than they are looking for people that can teach reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers, which is where I think the focus should be.
And I think that if they're not doing their job and they're focused on this, then they're just brainwashing a captive group of kids.
Yeah, there's two things going on with what you just said.
There's exactly that, this sort of indoctrination and putting their politics in place.
But when you look at the teachers' unions, right, the National Education Association, Randy Whitegarten's American Federation for Teachers, everybody wanted, and those groups wanted schools closed down during COVID.
What they care first and foremost about, Sean, are their salaries and their benefits.
That's why the costs are so high.
What they care less about is education, and they care more about indoctrination, which is why the results are so low, like you just pointed out in the previous statement that you made.
And that's a nasty combination.
And as a result, that's what we're getting in our K-12 public schools.
And it's up to parents to fight against this.
They should go to nationaloportunity.org, parents across the country, and read this report and see what it is that they can do in their own backyard to make sure that this isn't happening to their kids.
Because it's a disservice to the kids, which is what we should care about most.
Number one, their education.
And it's a disservice to the country.
Because what's going to happen five years, 10 years, 20 years down the road, we're going to have a less educated group of kids leading our country down the road.
But there becomes an intimidation factor.
You know, when we discovered that, you know, our own Department of Justice was looking into whether parents at school board meetings objecting to this type of curriculum, you know, potentially being viewed as domestic terrorists.
I mean, you know, a parent getting loud at a school board meeting, you know, is, I would assume, a common occurrence and has been a common occurrence probably for decades.
It doesn't seem like it doesn't seem like we need the feds to come in and investigate them for domestic terrorism.
Sean, you're right.
Merrick Garland is egregious in this way, in many ways, but in this way in particular.
And the fight back potentially is what happened in Loudoun County and then ultimately with the election of Glenn Yunkin, which is where parents fought back.
The electorate in an offensively purplish blue state said, no, we've had enough of this.
And I honestly think that these types of issues and sort of COVID, opening the eyes of parents, and particularly suburban moms across the country, can see what the left, and the left is the Democratic Party now, right?
There is no middle-of-the-road Democratic Party.
What the left is doing to their children, and maybe there can be an electoral response to that as well, which we haven't seen recently, but that, I think, trend is starting to change because they're getting more and more radical.
And this DEI report shows how radical they are in terms of who they want to hire.
Last question.
If parents want to read this for themselves and get educated, how do they do that?
They just have to go to nationalopportunity.org.
It's right there.
They can read it.
They can contact us.
And there's ways for us to get with them and help them on this cause.
All right.
Patrick Hughes, president of the National Opportunity Project.
Great work.
And we appreciate you being with us.
We'll put a link on Hannity.com, sir.
Hey there.

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.

Let's get to our busy phones, 800-941-Sean, as we continue this Friday.
Alan, California.
Alan, happy Friday.
Glad you checked in.
What's going on?
Not too much.
I don't agree with that guy too much.
You know, there are right-wing people that indoctrinate kids.
Give me an example.
Give me an example.
You'd have to go back to my sister.
When she was in elementary school, there was a John Burchard teacher that was indoctrinating the kids into that.
And there was a court case, and they removed the teacher.
So that's the only one that I know of.
Yeah, I mean, it certainly at times, I'm sure, was a problem.
And I don't want any indoctrination of kids.
I want our kids to go to school.
They got to sit up straight.
They got to focus and pay attention and learn the basics.
We're spending a fortune with the most horrific results.
And now added to the problem, almost every small town and big city in the country.
Now we have this influx of nearly 8 million illegal immigrants thanks to your president Joe Biden.
And many of their children are now going to school in New York City school systems.
They're dealing with 20,000, 24,000 illegal immigrant kids in a school district that was in schools that were already failing at a spectacular level.
And most of them can't speak English.
They don't have the resources.
They're not getting any help from the federal government.
We're failing our kids, and we're robbing them of every rung, of every ladder that leads to success, not only in this country, but in life.
Not my values.
This wasn't what I was.
What do you mean, not your values?
You sound like a left-winger.
Listen, I just want kids.
I want to focus on reading, writing, math, science, history, and computers.
That's it.
It's me too.
Well, it's not happening.
That's the point.
I sent my kid to a private school.
It did him wonders.
Well, there you go.
Why did you bail out of the public schools?
He ended up going to public school for his high school and his last year of junior high just because he wanted to play sports and they didn't have it at the Waldorf School.
But, you know, it was a good education.
But I wasn't calling in about it.
I was calling in about the corruption in government to begin with that you did before.
Okay.
Go ahead.
What's your comment?
Well, you beat on Hunter and Hunter, but he wasn't in the government.
Excuse me.
Hunter, by his own admission.
Good morning, America.
Well, what experience did you have to being paid all these millions of dollars?
Well, I worked on a board at Amshrak, and I was once on the board of a UN food program, and I'm a lawyer.
OK, he's getting paid from an oil and gas giant, massive sums of money in a field of endeavor in which he had no experience in a country in which he had no experience and gets helped out by daddy after five days after a phone call he and Burisma executives make to Papa.
He leverages a billion dollars and that worthless, you know, non-experienced son who happens to be an addict at the time.
He continues to get paid.
He continues to get paid.
tell me what do they call that where where you are in california alan because i have a word for it new york yeah it's nepotism the same is it nepotism or is it influence peddling is it potential bribery Potentially, yeah.
And if he did it.
Yeah, potentially.
Well, we know he did it.
Joe bragged about it on tape.
I've played it over and over again.
Hunter admitted he had no experience.
He's admitting he was addicted to drugs.
Why did nine Biden family members make a fortune?
Tell me.
From China and Russia and Kazakhstan, Romania, Ukraine, Mexico.
Tell me, what did they do for that money?
Well, what about the $3 billion?
And why did Joe Biden lie to everybody saying he never talked to his son, brother, or anybody for that matter?
Why did they lie?
Why did they have all those shell corporations?
Why were the grandchildren being paid money from these foreign countries?
Tell me.
I'm not disputing that it was a corrupt operation.
That's not.
Uh-huh.
I'm not disputing.
You seem to be downplaying it to me.
What do you call it?
Tell me what you call it.
Not at all.
I just comparison to where Kushner gets $3 billion after the administration ends.
There should be some investigation over that.
There should be some investigation over that.
And then there was an investigation for five years.
They let the statute of limitations run out on Hunter.
And then they took the guy that gave him the sweetheart deal when he wanted no charges at all.
And only because the judge caught them is any charge is going to happen, but not the ones that involve Joe.
Joe Biden was president and he facilitated it.
He not only talked to his kid, he went to meetings.
He had dinners with his foreign business partners, making phone calls on behalf of his son so this enterprise can continue to pay them tens of millions of dollars.
Why don't you just say it in one word?
It's corrupt, Alan.
Let me hear you say it's corruption.
If you can prove it in a court of law, yes.
Okay, it's all been proven.
Joe admitted it.
Hunter admitted it.
What else do you need?
I got a roll.

All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
Your call's coming up straight ahead.
If you're a homeowner, when's the last time you checked that the title to your home that proves it's your home is in your name?
It's the legal document that proves you own it.
Now, if the answer is you've never checked, you got to know about the fastest-growing scam.
The FBI calls it house stealing.
And here's the thing.
They don't want your house.
They're after all the money, the equity in your house.
And these scammers were forging your signature on a transfer document stating that you sold your home and that they are the new owner.
Then they take out loans using your equity as collateral.
And then they whoopsie daisy disappear, leaving you with a financial and illegal nightmare.
All right, you can protect yourself with triple lock title protection from home titlelock.com.

It's that simple.
By the way, Linda, did you hear, apparently NASCAR has a diversity internship program, and they were listing specific races and ethnicities as a requirement for the program on their webpage.
And then when it was made public and there was a lot of criticism about it and claims of illegality about it, the internship program is, by the way, it's a paid internship.
It involves attending a race, visiting the sports hall of fame, and meeting with race car teams and industry executives.
Anyway, NASCAR has now had required applicants to be one or more of the following races or ethnic minority classifications, black or African American, American Indian, Alaska Native, Asian, Latino, or Hispanic, Native, Hawaiian, or other Pacific Islander.
And that requirement now is removed.
However, a screenshot of the previous version still exists.
And it looks like they, you know, I wonder sometimes if people in like HR departments, because every big company has an HR department.
You ever hear of the HR department?
I guess we have one at our company.
We do, don't we?
We do.
I have no idea who they are, and I never want to talk to them ever.
They're fun.
Do you ever have to talk to them?
I've talked to them occasionally.
Yeah.
And you're a walking nightmare for them.
I wouldn't say I'm a walking nightmare, but I wouldn't say that, you know, I'm a walk through the park either.
So they would rather probably just, you know, evaporate your name from their list and say it's just not worth it.
Well, I think it just comes down to there are people who go along to get along and there are people who fight what's right.
I would be the latter.
I'm constantly the voice of contradiction and opposition and calling people out for their BS on a daily basis.
There's no shortage of it.
Anyway, so it looks like, you know, maybe at least one group has realized, okay, we're not going to let the HR people run this.
And they saw and they immediately made the proper change.
I wouldn't have expected this.
Remember, Ellen DeGeneres got in all this trouble because people that are on her team and work for her thought she was mean.
Remember that?
I do remember that, yeah.
Well, now the same thing is happening to Jimmy Fallon, current staffers.
It's like they couldn't get one person to stand up for the guy.
Nobody.
Anyway, they say it was an ugly work environment and that it was Fallon that had very erratic behavior.
They didn't know which Jimmy Fallon was going to show up at any given day.
And some people alleging they were belittled and intimidated by even Fallon himself.
And they described being afraid of his outbursts, unexpected, inconsistent behavior.
Many staffers voiced their concerns, but their HR department didn't want anything to do with it.
They stayed away from this.
And apparently they were using green rooms when they weren't being used by guests in the dressing rooms as crying rooms because they were so upset and letting their emotions out.
And Rolling Stone got all these people on record.
They couldn't find anybody to stick up for the guy.
What is wrong with these people?
I don't think there's anything wrong with these people.
You know, this is something that really ticks me off.
This is America.
If you don't like who you work for, you have the freedom to change it.
You don't need to work for a company that has a you can apply if you're not white box because that's essentially what that company is doing.
They're saying if you're not white, you can apply.
You know, and unfortunately, everybody's afraid to say that, but that's exactly what it is because every option is on there except for a white person.
And at the end of the day, if you're not going to have a real conversation about the fact that we're not picking the best, we're picking up.
You're complating the two issues.
You're complating the nasty.
Well, I didn't get to comment on the first one, so I figured I'd toss that in for a hot minute.
And then I'll go to Jimmy Fallon, which is, if you don't like working for Jimmy Fallon or Alan DeGeneres or any other talent, there's no shortage of talents.
Guess what?
You can quit and go somewhere else.
If you want to be treated in a way that you feel, you know, go work somewhere else.
I don't know who he is.
I can't speak to whether I say this or not.
I don't know.
Well, I mean, it's pretty obvious if you can't find one person that says something nice about the guy.
I have found that talent can be very mercil in my life.
I mean, a lot of people, their genius makes them nuts, too.
And we've discussed this before.
Maybe.
I mean, talent in general, as someone who works with a lot of talented people, you know.
I'm at the top of the list.
You are.
You're number one.
No question.
You are the number one most talented person I know without question.
And the nicest.
And the nicest and the most giving and the most fun.
And when people feed you and you're not hungry, you are even nicer than usual.
But when you're hangry, you might be on the fallon level.
I don't know.
But all jokes aside, I'm putting it over.
So what you just said is so not true.
Oh, my God.
You're so defensive of that.
Unfortunately, it's true because that's why you get defensive about it because I'm not sure.
No, that is not true.
You get hangry.
It just isn't.
Well, listen, I work in radio and TV, and I don't know people that give their staffs bonuses every year.
Oh, my God.
Is that really appropriate?
Like, we're talking about crowd cheese, and you guys take it to bonuses, really?
Really?
Well, in other words, I know people that make a lot of money and they don't share any of it with their staff.
And yet their staff is a big reason that they can be as successful as they are.
And those people suck.
And you know what?
When I worked for people who didn't share their bonus, who didn't share a bonus with their team, I quit because it's America and you can do that.
You can move on.
You're threatening to quit if your bonus doesn't go up.
Well, I mean, what I would tell you is, you know, I've been very blessed and worked for a lot of bosses who gave me bonuses and they were very caring and giving.
And I've worked for bosses who were god-awful.
But people who are going to complain publicly about their boss, you know what?
That person's never going to get hired again.
Why are you complaining about your boss?
You cannot talk trash about a current employer.
That's not okay.
But the behavior may be really bad.
I mean, some of these people just suck asses.
So quit.
So go leave.
If everybody.
Well, it's easier said than done.
No.
Why?
Because a lot of people, they have house payments.
They got rent payments.
They got car payments.
I'm just going to gently push back.
While that could normally be a good argument, we are in the middle of an employment crisis where people cannot, they can't keep the staff in.
But it might not be the job that pays with the benefits that they're used to.
Look, I'm not going to be able to do that.
But if you're happy, if you're happier, then maybe you take a little bit of a pay cut because your happiness is more important than the money you're making.
I'm just saying.
Minnesota Democratic farmer, Labor Party official, once vowed to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department, is now calling for tougher crime laws because she was beaten and bloodied in a car jack office outside her home.
Is that what it takes for liberals to wake up to the discussion?
That is exactly what it takes.
Look at Mayor Adams is no exception.
Not in my backyard.
The NIMBY crowd.
As soon as it gets in their backyard, as soon as it happens to them, you hurt them.
You hurt their people.
You hurt their family.
You hurt any part of their world.
And now it's a problem.
When it was your problem, when it was your world, it wasn't a problem.
Look at Biden today.
You know what?
We're going to keep all the migrants, all the illegal aliens.
We're going to keep them in Texas.
That's what we're going to do.
I'm sorry.
Why?
Texas isn't voting for this.
You're voting for this.
If you look at the actual numbers in New York, for example, only a small percentage were sent up by Texas.
The overwhelming majority of illegal immigrants were sent by Biden.
All right, one last thing.
And I'm sure this might be good for you, actually, to try this because they're using it for people that have like stress disorders.
What does that mean?
You think I have a stress disorder?
Oh, 100%.
What stress disorder do I have?
I work for Sean Hannity.
Is that going to be the title of my stress disorder?
No, I think it's 400,000 other jobs that might get in the way of creating all the stress.
That's giving me all this happiness.
California Bill decriminalizing the personal use of psychedelic and magic mushrooms.
Great.
Oh, my God.
Are you serious?
Serious as a heart attack.
I don't think I make this Adam shift up.
No.
There's two stories you sent me today.
I didn't see the magic mushroom one.
I don't understand why Newsom and his crazy.
He hasn't committed yet.
Oh, please.
Newsome is so in the tank for anything that is make this guy.
I know you love him.
I can't stand him.
I think he's a criminal.
It's not a matter of I love him.
I mean, I disagree with everything he stands for.
I mean, you like, this is you all the time.
No, personally, he's a nice person.
He's a nice person.
No, he's not.
No, he is not a nice person.
He is a decrepit politician with a creepy underbelly, and him and his wife are into everything we are against.
He is not a nice person.
I don't care if he looks nice in his life.
I think his wife's not afraid of him.
And as far as I'm concerned, oh, really?
Let me tell you something.
All right, will you come?
All right, you need to take a breath.
Did you like take your hangry pills today?
Speaking of angry, man.
I'm not angry.
70 million.
Listen, I know him.
You don't even know the guy.
You have not spent any time with him.
I have spent time.
Let me ask you something.
Can I ask you a question?
He's a nice idea.
If you went to a prison, he's not a murderer.
Can I finish my sentence?
He's not a murderer.
He's super nice.
But I'm just saying.
I am.
Nice people do better.
His policies are insane, and he knows I feel that way about him.
But on a personal level, he is a nice person.
And Republicans better pay close attention to him because he's right out of central casting.
And that might be the guy the Democrats go to.
Democrats go to.
By the way, one other warning and admonition.
There's a story out there about 70 million Americans planning to bet on the NFL this season.
70 million.
Let me tell you what's about to unfold in this country.
An epidemic of gambling addiction, the likes of which we've never seen before.
This is different than Lotto, lotteries, you know, PlayStation, whatever scratch off.
It's way different because people think that they're going to figure out the system.
And guess what?
They're not.
They're not going to beat the system.
The reason that every single casino is wealthy is because you have people with false hope that think ultimately they're going to beat the system.
Guess what?
The odds are stacked against them on purpose.
That's how it's designed.
And you're going to see people betting away their homes and their cars and not being able to put food on the table once this addiction gets to the next level.
And that's coming.
You agree or disagree?
I disagree.
I think that people have a right to do whatever they want with the money that they earn.
And if they piss away their money gambling on NFL, which by the way played the black national anthem, not the American anthem.
So if you're watching the NFL, they actually played both.
Yeah, well, there's only one anthem.
There's one.
So as far as I'm concerned, you're watching the NFL moron.
Anyhow, you're a moron.
Do you know what crossing the plane means yet?
You know what?
I don't care because I watch college ball, and that's a learning game for me.
And I am learning the game of football.
Learning.
And so that is okay with me.
And when you finally learn what crossing the plane means, just let us know.
I will.
I will actually do a breaking news alert and it will say Linda McLaughlin has learned what crossing the plane means.
But anywho, I think that if people want to bet their money and they want to bet on games that don't matter to anybody else, go for it.
Do it.
Knock yourself out.
Okay.
And when they have families and kids and the availability of betting, look, I'm not saying different from the social.
Hang on.
I am not saying that I'm against or for any type of government intervention in this.
I am just telling you the availability of betting on these particular sports is going to create a gambling addiction epidemic in the country.
I can't believe it.
I got news.
Let me tell you, it's like throw a bit of gambling epidemic.
The only difference is that it's illegal.
Now it'll be legal.
It's going to be on HGH and human growth hormone and testosterone.
It's going to get worse.
I think the people that it's going to open are people that don't know anything.
Roy in California, how are you?
Yes, sir.
Sean, thanks for taking my call.
You and I are on the same page of everything I can imagine.
I watch you every night on channels on Fox News.
Anyway, thank you.
The parallels, Sean, between what I've been going through for the last four years with the president and my wife, who died in April of Alzheimer's.
I chartered it on a daily basis for four years, and I put it in writing.
Anyway, my reason for calling is I've declared war on this terminal disease, Alzheimer's.
And the only thing that I think that will save all of us, and we're all going to be involved in this, there's nobody that can escape it, is research.
And I spent about 30 years lobbying for the health industry, so I know a little bit about this.
And our boy back in the White House, I'm not a doctor, but I'll guarantee you he's got neurological problems that cannot be fixed.
No, just the opposite.
And it sounds like, and I'm sad to hear this.
I'm sorry that you had to live through that.
I've seen it myself in life.
It is a degenerative process and disease.
It's cognitive decline.
It's Alzheimer's, dementia, whatever you want to call it.
And it's obvious to me that Joe is in that state and he seems to be getting, to me, progressively worse.
I'm not a doctor.
I'm not diagnosing.
Not sure exactly which one he falls into, but his cognitive decline is obvious and clear and transparent.
Absolutely.
And there's no reversal.
There's no treatment.
There's no hope.
The point is, and you know this better than anybody, that if you or me and your loved one, in my case, if they're diagnosed, they will leave this earth.
There's no hope.
So I think our only ally against this as an army, we've got to pick a research institute, all of us that we have faith in.
And as much money as you can put in there, do it, because every dollar that we put toward it could save your life or your loved one.
I think it's a noble effort on your part and like cures for cancer, cures for dementia, Alzheimer's, et cetera.
You know, I hope we get there.
And I think over time, science will achieve things that we never dreamed of today.
And I hope so, because what you're describing is nothing except extraordinary pain.
But the country better pay attention because he's not up to this job.
