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.
What happens to you if Donald Trump wins?
What do you do?
What's your first move?
I mean, it sounds nuts, but like, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy threw me in jail.
You have a president of the United States who is living embodiment of the rule of law, even with respect to his only living son.
She knows so long as she was denied.
Our freedom can never be secured.
The countdown is on.
T minus 144 days left till election day.
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Gonna play our guitars and sing you a country song.
From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Hannity is on.
All right, thanks, Scott Shannon.
Our two Sean Hannity show.
Told free.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, so the House Republicans yesterday, thankfully, in spite of their very tiny, slim majority, were able to hold the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, in contempt.
But don't hold your breath expecting that Garland is going to get the Peter Navarro or Steve Bannon treatment, or let's see, the Roger Stone treatment, or the Manafor treatment, or the Flynn treatment, or the treatment of Rudy, or the treatment of anybody else.
No, there is a two-tier justice system under Joe Biden and Merrick Garland.
We know that.
And Merrick Garland was recently being grilled by the House Judiciary Committee.
Some of the best moments were with Congressman Matt Gates, who will join us in a moment.
And he asked a simple question and whether or not Garland would provide all documents and communications with the likes of Alvin Bragg, Letitia James, Fonnie Willis's offices.
Now, remember, in the case of Letitia James and Alvin Bragg, they both ran on campaigns to get Trump, one man, one organization, go after one family.
And he's never once criticized those people for running for that and then fulfilling a campaign, what ended up being a campaign promise.
Anyway, here is Matt Gates asking, why won't he provide the documentation?
Attorney General, you've told us that it's a dangerous conspiracy theory to allege that the Department of Justice is communicating with these state and local prosecutions against Trump.
You can clear it all up for us right now.
Will the Department of Justice provide to the committee all documents, all correspondence between the department and Alvin Bragg's office and Fonnie Willis's office and Letitia James's office?
The offices you're referring to are independent offices of state.
I get that.
I get that.
The question is whether or not you will provide all of your documents and correspondence.
That's the question.
I don't need a history lesson.
Well, I'm going to say again, we do not control those offices.
They make their own.
The question is: whether you communicate with them, not whether you control them.
Do you communicate with them?
And when you provide those communication.
You make a request.
We'll refer it to our Office of Legislative.
But see, here's the thing.
You come in here and you lodge this attack that it's a conspiracy theory that there is coordinated lawfare against Trump.
And then when we say, fine, just give us the documents, give us the correspondence, and then if it's a conspiracy theory, that will be evident.
But when you say, well, we'll take your request and then we'll sort of work it through the DOJ's accommodation process, then you're actually advancing the very dangerous conspiracy theory that you're concerned about.
Anyway, Congressman Matt Gates, Florida, joins us now.
You've had some pretty fine moments in Congress.
That's the right up there with some of the top moments.
Why wouldn't he provide that documentation?
Why wouldn't he provide that communication?
Seems pretty simple to me.
And you're right.
That would dispel any, quote, conspiracy theory that he was talking about in reference to this.
We have a reasonable basis for suspicion that all of the lawfare being brought against Donald Trump is being centralized in decision-making with senior officials at the Biden administration.
Now, they may be at the Department of Justice.
They may even be at the White House.
We want to see the calendar meetings, the emails, the memos, the notes, the correspondence, so we can determine whether or not we need legislation to stop federal entities from goosing state attorneys general or local DAs into political prosecutions that federal prosecutors would never do.
Remember, the Southern District of New York, which is like the 1929 Yankees of federal prosecutors, they did not bring any case against Trump for any violation of election law because there was no violation of law.
But you saw then Alvin Bragg animated into action, and we want to know about it.
And I think Jim Jordan and James Comer deserve a lot of credit for getting this contempt proceeding together for Garland.
But was it the right one, Sean?
Like, think about what's going on.
Zoom out for a second.
We've got to ask: what is the grave harm happening?
And to me, it is the far graver harm is the coordinated lawfare against Trump.
It's not that Joe Biden wasn't prosecuted for the documents case.
I kind of thought both of the documents cases against Trump and against Biden were kind of ticky-tacky and dumb, and they just seemed not to be in syncing with how we would normally deal with an administrative dispute.
Well, they might have been, but one was treated far differently than the other.
Sure.
And I think exposing that is helpful.
But I think that right now, the document case is like on the slow boat to China.
Meanwhile, you've got Jack Smith seeking a determination on immunity that will allow him to proceed in a blue jurisdiction where I think they would convict Donald Trump of killing Jimmy Hoffa, abducting the Lindbergh baby, and being the shooter on the grassy knoll all in one trial if they had to talk.
Oh, by the way, that is a guarantee.
What's interesting is Eileen Cannon is actually questioning and having a hearing on the legitimacy of the appointment of the special prosecutor.
And that is the Florida case, but I think that would then raise the case in Washington, D.C. as well.
And we'll await whether or not immunity comes up.
Now, I probably would have argued that case differently.
You're the attorney, not me.
And I would have argued more for limited immunity that would have been applicable over absolute immunity because I thought this absurd analogy that kept being brought up again and again and again, I just think it got so far off course.
Well, does that mean Donald Trump can employ SIL Team 6 to assassinate his political opponents?
That's not what anybody's talking about.
I agree with you on the legal analysis, but I would also say this is the downstream effect of taking the unprecedented action of indicting Donald Trump for things that no one would ever be charged for if they weren't Donald Trump and running again and winning.
These prosecutors just think they can haul the former president of the United States before their court and that it's not going to create these really sticky legal questions that at times take years to resolve.
And Judge Cannon, she's getting all the criticism for the left-wing pundits and talking heads, but she is actually the one using sound judicial economy because whether or not Jack Smith was legitimately appointed is a threshold question.
And you wouldn't go through a trial and witnesses and a jury and all of that stuff if the threshold question is answered in a way that would render this entire prosecution meaningless.
So she is being thoughtful and thorough.
And I think the prosecutors, Jack Smith and really the whole batch of them, there's a hubris about it, that they just think they're going to march in with the emperor mater of the Biden administration and they can get away with anything they want to get away with.
I mean, my gosh, Nathan Wade and Fonnie Willis, imagine the hubris of being prosecuting Donald Trump and thinking you could get away with what they were up to.
Let me, for a second, talk a little bit more about Merrick Garland and the being held in contempt because you and I both know, at least under Biden's weaponized and politicized DOJ, nothing's going to happen.
And, you know, Garland, for example, you questioned him on the issue of, you know, why would the third highest ranking official at Biden's DOJ under Merrick Garland actually leave that prestigious position to go argue the case in New York City,
the Alvin Bragg case that never should have been brought, the upcharge case from a misdemeanor whose statute of limitations had long since passed, and this novel political, this novel legal theory that somehow brought into play federal election law that they never even fully defined as a charge until the end of the trial.
And anyway, you asked about this appointment of Colangelo.
Oh, I have nothing to do with it.
Do you believe him?
Let me play the exchange.
You had no problem dispatching Matthew Colangelo.
Who's Matthew Colangelo?
It's false.
I did not dispatch Matthew Colangelo.
Matthew Colangelo, Matthew Colangelo became the assistant attorney general at the very beginning of the Biden administration without having been senate confirmed, goes and gets the senior role at the DOJ.
And then after, I believe it's Gupta replaces Colangelo, Calangelo makes this remarkable downstream career journey from the U.S. Department of Justice in Washington, D.C., and then pops up in Alvin Bragg's office to go get Trump.
And you're saying that's just a career choice that was made that has nothing to do with the lawfare coordinated.
You're saying it's false.
I did not dispatch Mr. Colangelo anywhere.
Well, do you know how he ended up there?
I assume he spoke, he applied for a job there and got the job.
But see, you know what?
Tell you I had nothing to do with it.
I don't believe him.
Sean, Matthew Colangelo going from one of the top positions at the Department of Justice to the Manhattan DA's office to be a frontline prosecutor would be about as suspicious as if he resigned from Fox News tomorrow and started doing the morning weather updates in Tupelo, Mississippi.
You know, I mean, that is sort of the same downstream career trajectory.
And so he wasn't there because of some sort of realignment in his professional goals.
He was there to get Trump.
And what corroborates that theory is the book written by one of the other prosecutors brought in for this particular purpose, Mike Palmerance, who said we assembled the legal eagles because we were going to find any basis in law with which to hamper Trump's reasons to the presidency.
And when Palmerance was before the House Judiciary Committee, he pled the fifth when asked whether or not he broke the law in his pursuit of Trump.
Think about that.
When the prosecutor is pleading the fifth about whether or not they broke the law and someone else is suspiciously appearing from the Department of Justice and Merritt Garland is refusing to reveal the correspondence memos, notes, communications, I don't think we should be labeled conspiracy theorists for wanting to know more.
And so I don't think it's sufficient just to contempt Garland for what we have.
We have to get this information.
And don't be discouraged about criminal referrals or contempt proceedings that are dormant right now because they can be born like a tulip gulb in the spring when Donald Trump has a new attorney general in January of 2025.
So these are live torpedoes that we are firing.
And with an attorney general far better than Jeff Sessions, I think we could have a law system that is restored, confidence that is restored, and a return to the facts and the law away from what we've seen from the Biden administration.
One of the things I said about President Trump when he was in office was that I felt he gave Republicans in the House and the Senate a backbone.
He's back up on the Hill today.
And, you know, he talked about great unity within the party and a lot of common sense.
What is your reaction?
And what was the reaction?
It was a pep rally, Sean.
And frankly, you know, you and I have had a lot of conversations on air and off air about the need for unity.
And really in the absence of strong leadership following President Trump's departure in the Republican Party, like no one was inspired by McConnell or McCarthy.
And Johnson's no walk in the park right now either.
And so having Trump back there, like there was finally main character energy in the room.
And you had the most liberal members, you have the most conservative members standing together, applauding President Trump, nodding along as he talked about energy policy, gross domestic product.
President Trump wants to get rid of taxes on tips.
And I love that.
I love the idea of unlocking more economic potential for working class people in this country.
By the way, I've worked in restaurants since I was 12 years old, washing dishes in a restaurant.
I was a cook, a busboy, waiter, bartender.
I'm all for it.
I agree.
Those are great people.
And by the way, you know the great Americans who are doing those jobs.
And a little bit extra in their pocket at the end of the night when you're working for gratuities means a lot.
Valets, just a lot of people that it could help.
And those are Trump voters.
And it speaks to this broader realignment that's happening.
Both Mike Johnson and President Trump spoke very well about what we're seeing in the polling, where working class people in all kinds of states, in all kinds of, regardless of race or gender, working class people want the prosperity that President Trump brought us.
And it could be the most unifying thing, not just in an election, but in this country for a long time.
Quick break more with Florida Congressman Matt Gates on your calls coming up, 800-941-Sean, as we move along this Thursday.
All right, we continue now with Florida Congressman Matt Gates is with us.
Let me ask you about the laptop.
And now that it has been legitimized and brought into evidence in this case of Hunter Biden, to me, that means that now the real investigation begins because Joe lied about it.
We know the FBI pre-bunked it.
We know Hunter lied about it.
We know the media mob lied about it.
We know 51 former Intel officials lied about it.
And it was very, very critical.
And I think now it begins the investigation process into whether or not Joe Biden benefited from his son's foreign business dealings with no experience while he was addicted to drugs.
I believe that the laptop was validated when Democrats had no basis to object to me entering it into the committee record in the House Judgment Committee.
That, to me, was the moment that we sealed the question on the validity of the laptop.
But, Sean, I mean, did you really think we'd be sitting here at this time in the 118th Congress and Republicans have not even sent one subpoena to Hunter Biden for live public testimony?
Not one.
I think the American people need to see Hunter Biden answer these questions now that the laptop has been validated.
And I can't, for the life of me, understand why we send these letters requesting Hunter Biden's presence, but we don't send a subpoena with the force of law.
I mean, we're about to see Steve Bannon report to a prison if we're not able to shake loose a last-minute remedy from the judge.
And yet we are playing patty cake oftentimes with Hunter Biden specifically.
And I don't get it.
I hope you asked about that.
When we come back, we'll continue.
One more question from Matt Gates, then we'll get to your calls.
800-941-Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
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.

All right, 25 to the top of the hour, 800-941-Sean is our number.
Your call is coming up.
Also, our final moments with Matt Gates, Florida congressman.
In a second, want to remind you, look, these are really tough, crappy economic times for so many Americans.
And obviously, the Biden economy, Biden inflation is just, it's just, it's just destroying people, unnecessarily so.
I mean, I've been giving you these numbers out in the last number of weeks, and they're just horrible.
It's just terrible to hear that 25% of Americans have had to forego meals.
Why?
Because they can't afford them.
Or that two-thirds of Americans are struggling just to put food on their table and they're gasping for air.
I mean, that's how tough it is for so many families.
But there may be a way out.
If you are a homeowner, average home price went up 8.7% last year.
That means you have equity in your home.
And rather than paying high interest credit card numbers and rates that they have out there, well, you can call our friends at American Financing.
And if you refinance, right now they're saving their average customer, again, on average, $854 a month.
That's like a $10,000 a year raise.
That's all the difference between being in the red and in the black financially each and every month.

I wanted to hold Matt Gates for one more question here because Senator JD Vance and Congressman Gates have now called on Secretary of State Winkin Tony Blinken to send them information regarding the Ukrainian NGO by June the 28th.
In June of this year, Ukrainian corporation, early June this year, published an online article entitled Rollercoaster from Trumpists to Communists and the forces in the U.S. are impeding aid to Ukraine and how they do it.
And the pair of Republican lawmakers wrote Wink and Blinken a letter and that the title of the article oversells the product.
It's substantially a thin piece, largely an excuse to smear a large group of Americans who have been skeptical of aid to Ukraine in one form of another.
Now, I'll put it this way: Joe Biden is about to sign an agreement with Zelensky.
It's amazing that he has no problem with Zelensky going on offense against Vladimir Putin while Europe has sat back and has not stepped up to do their part to protect their own continent.
The letter goes on, but it is being broadcast as part of a coordinated media strategy that has all the hallmarks of a U.S. targeting influence operation.
And they went on to call it an enemies list.
Matt Gates, what the hell's going on here?
U.S. taxpayers are paying for Ukrainian NGOs to criticize U.S. politicians for holding America-first views towards Ukraine.
It's crazy to wrap your head around.
I mean, think about that.
We are borrowing money from China to give it to Ukraine to offer comments on which of our politicians they deem enemies.
And JD Vance and I want answers.
We want to know who approved this.
And this is part of really rooting out the deep state, figuring out who in the bowels of these agencies thought it was appropriate to greenlight some of these hyper-political NGOs.
These NGOs are destroying the world.
They're destroying our country by bringing illegal immigrants across the border.
And we've got to get the money out of those enterprises.
It's why we can't be voting on the whole funding of the government all at once, why we need single-subject bills so that we can isolate these bad anti-American programs that cost us money and zero them out.
And I am so proud to be working with Senator JD Vance on this.
He's been a leader at helping us find some of the problems at the Department of State.
And, you know, I think we've got to expose it and excise it.
Who do you like for VP, Matt Gates?
Well, one of the senators.
You know, I like Marco Rubio, like JD Vance.
You've got to have somebody who's going to return to being like a John Adams vice president who will preside over the Senate.
This notion that you let the Senate majority leader dictate the calendar and the events, that's a new construct.
We need to go back to the constitutional vice president as the president of the Senate.
So somebody like Marco, somebody like JD, I think they would do a terrific job because they know how to manage it.
And at the same time, they don't have such reverence for the bad institutions that will allow them to gum things up the way we saw under McConnell.
Out to admit, Marco's been doing some serious ass kicking when it comes to going on these liberal media shows.
I mean, he's been pounding these people, and I mean, leaving them speechless.
It's been fun to watch.
Anyway.
Imagine either Marco or JD debating Kamala Harris.
It's going to be delightful to watch.
Well, that'll be must-see TV for sure.
It would be even better if they let me moderate.
I'd be a really good moderator.
I think I did a very good job with DeSantis and with Gavin Newsom, don't you think?
I think that they had to identify Gavin Newsome by his dead pull records at the end of that debate.
You gave everybody fair time.
You were a totally fair moderator.
Matter of fact, I even complimented you on it afterwards.
But I think that actually it was a really substantive debate.
If you think about it, we got a ton of substance out of the liberal vision for America versus the conservative vision for America.
And I think, regardless of your politics, I think it was really enlightening.
And, you know, we got to get back to this.
Listen, I just stuck to the basics.
I told both sides.
I said, look, I'm not giving.
Obviously, you don't give questions ahead.
I said, the topics are going to be predictable.
It's going to be basically simple bread and butter issues that impact the people of your respective states.
That's it.
And that's what it was.
Anyway, Matt Gates, thanks for spending extra time with us.
We appreciate it.
All right.
See you soon, my friend.
Patricia, Free State of Florida, next Sean Hannity Show.
Hi.
What's going on?
I was waiting for a prompt.
I'm sorry.
Hi, Sean.
Welcome to Florida.
I wanted to say that for sure because I am from the great state of Florida, the paradise.
Thank you.
Did you see Governor DeSantis last night?
Wants me to be like he wanted to swear me in as a member of the Chamber of Commerce.
I guess it'd be a volunteer position because I want In-N-Out Burger to move to Florida.
I would imagine that he would definitely want you on that kind of a committee.
I would volunteer.
I would get on my hands and knees and beg the people at In-N-Out Burger to move to Florida because I love In-N-Out Burger and I love Krownberger.
And I wish that, you know, chicken salad chick.
Where in Florida do you live?
Jacksonville.
Okay.
I don't think they have them in Jacksonville yet, but they're all over Tampa.
I mean, I love those places.
They're like my favorite places in the world.
And Waffle House.
I've been there, so I'll have to look for one.
Well, what else is on your mind today?
Well, you know, I've been wanting to call for a while, and I decided that I would just try today because I've been seeing, you know, the floating VP list out there, and I get so frustrated with that because I don't know if it's really coming from Trump or if it's just, again, the deep state trying to get us to go for somebody that we really don't want.
But anyways, I think we have a great VP list, and the ones that are being floated, I have really not a horrible thing about them, but I would like to float a different idea for Trump.
I've tried to send him emails and stuff, but, you know, he's busy.
And I'm going to give you a little tip.
And I've told my audience, I can't open mail because of past bad experiences without going into great specifics and details.
And people think I'm rude.
I am not rude.
For years and years in my career, I would always answer everybody back that I could.
And I don't get mail anymore.
And people send it to me and they think that I'm a snob.
I am not a snob, I promise.
I understand that.
I know you all are very busy people.
But in the beginning of the whole run for the primary.
By the way, I meant I didn't finish my thought.
Trump doesn't have an email account.
Oh, okay.
Well, I'm on truth every day.
I'm trying to get in touch with him.
He does read truth.
They might get him there.
I might get lucky one day.
But I'm hoping he's listening to you because he does listen to you.
And I want to float DeSantis as a good VP nomination.
And let me tell you, in the beginning of the primary run, I was very frustrated when DeSantis was trying to run for president.
And I was bummed, to be honest, because I think that he is a very strong VP candidate because of what he's done in Florida.
Florida is like a microcosm of the United States.
You know, I call it Little America, really, because of what he's done in this state.
And I just feel like the one important thing that Trump needs to consider is who is going to be president when he is finished in four years.
Who can withstand the left-wing craziness that that VP and future president is going to get?
And I think that DeSantis has shown himself to be a leader, and he can stand against the media and the crazies that are out there.
He's done it in Florida, and I really believe that he would be an awesome VP.
What do you think?
Look, you don't have to sell me on Governor DeSantis.
I'm a big fan of his.
And I would hate to lose him, though, as governor of Florida.
What is Governor DeSantis?
45, maybe 46 now?
I don't know.
I think he's got a really bright future ahead of him.
I could absolutely see him as president in the future.
I think that Matt Gates mentioned two really good guys as well.
I think Senator Rubio has shown himself to be very, very strong, as has JD Vance.
And I think they support the Trump vision, which is most important for a VP.
And I think they'd be strong additions to the ticket.
But, you know, it's got to be a choice that Trump makes.
But yeah, I think we have a deep bench, and I think there are a lot of young people that I'd like to see get into the mix.
I think it's, you know, we're heading now into a time where after Donald Trump, there's going to be a new generation.
Right.
And I think that that new generation needs positions of power when Donald Trump gets, you know, hopefully back in the White House.
I hope that happens.
But we'll see.
I wouldn't be against it, but I wouldn't like the idea of losing him for governor.
So I'm kind of torn a little.
Patricia, thank you.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
Arizona, by the way, Trump up by eight today.
A poll comes out.
Ted, you're next on the Sean Hannity show.
Hi.
Good afternoon, Sean.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
How are you doing?
Very good.
Like I said, from Yuma, Arizona.
I'm down here in Yuma, man.
You're right in the heart of the Adam Schiffall down there with the illegal immigration.
Well, we're not too happy with our governor either.
She's completely useless, an open borders, useless governor who rightly now, I believe, is being investigated.
Right.
Most of them are.
Most of them.
We've got one in Texas trying to hold them off, but the Asians, look, I've seen around this town.
We're talking about the 30,000 Chinese nationals that have come in just since October and the 26,000 last year.
I think that's what you're referring to.
Exactly.
I've watched them walk around and all of them wearing the same black outsit and white tennis shoes.
They're ending up in North Dakota near our nuclear reserves.
They're buying up thousands and thousands of acres of farmland, ranch land, and land near military installations.
Now, you think if I went over to China one day, entered the country illegally, and started buying up farmland and ranch land and land near their military installations.
How do you think that would end for me?
It's not happening.
It will not happen.
Yeah, because they're smarter than we are.
Exactly.
They're sovereign.
They've kept their solvency.
This is my question to you.
That's why I was calling originally.
In Cuba, remember the Bay of Pigs?
Horse, you're talking about hypersonic missiles now off the coast of our state.
Yes, I'm very concerned about it.
Right.
They're whining about, oh, it's just one ship.
No, it's not one ship.
It's a nuclear sub, nuclearly capable.
There's more than two ships down there.
I don't care what they're trying to lie on TV about.
We've got the Chinese trying to put a chain, and they know it works, and we know it works.
And we had an admiral on the news this morning talking about, you know, them blocking off our ability to get in and out of the China Sea and to protect Japan.
What's your geopolitical beliefs on this, man?
You want to know what it is?
And I said this the other day, and people took it the wrong way in the liberal media.
I said, there is a reason that China never paid a price for COVID or intellectual property theft or unfair trade practices or the spy balloon or hostile maneuvers against our fighter jets and international airspace or against our Navy and international waterways.
There's a reason.
And I believe it's because the Biden family's compromised.
The sheer amount of millions and millions of dollars made by the Biden family, led by Hunter with no experience, while he's addicted to drugs, I believe has compromised their ability to confront our top geopolitical foes.
Am I wrong?
No, you're not wrong.
You're exactly right.
And now, here's the thing: he's commander-in-chief.
We are being targeted from multiple paths around the world that have no more beliefs than to annihilate America.
Which in war, that's how it works.
You win or you lose.
But hopefully, when this trial goes off in California for Biden Jr., that they will uncover the true corruptness within this family that's quote-unquote pounding the paddle right now to get re-elected when he should be running this country as a head of this country.
Just don't hold your breath.
Anyway, thank you, my friend.
Good point you're making.
Scary, but good.
