Time Text
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.
I'm Ben Ferguson, and I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week, we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
So down with Verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Well, we're coming to your city.
We're going to play our guitars and sing you a conscious song.
We'll all be dying.
High than a jail, I know.
And if you want a little bang in your yin yang, come along.
And I will work to pass the first ever federal ban on price gauging on food.
And Joe Biden, I believe, will go on the Democratic Mount Rushmore with FDR, with President Kennedy, with President Truman, and with LBJ.
Women, we're not without electrical, without not allowed, not without electoral.
The clock is ticking.
Hard to believe, but we're only 75 days away from the most important presidential election ever.
Yeah, we're coming to your city.
Going to play our guitars and sing you a conscious song.
From coast to coast.
From border to border.
From sea to shining sea.
Sean Kennedy is on.
Coming up next, our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Here's our toll-free number.
It's 800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, well, the lying continues as it relates to all things Harris, Walls, Biden, the economy, immigration.
Simone Sanders, Kamala Harris deserves credit for the drop in border crossings.
Never mind all the people that are here that have terror ties, you know, from Iran and Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, China, Russia, Venezuela, etc.
Credit for what?
Do you take credit then?
Are you responsible for all the unvetted 11 million?
And do you take credit for those people that have murdered and raped and committed horrific violent crimes against innocent citizens?
I don't know if that's what Simone Sanders is referring to, but I tend to think not.
But listen.
You don't run for president not ever wanting to sit in the seat, right?
She ran for president before, did not have a successful first presidential campaign, joined the Biden-Harris ticket, and has served as vice president for the last three, almost four years.
And in that time, has literally been doing the work.
Border crossings are down because Mexico is enforcing their border.
Do you know how Mexico enforces their border?
Diplomacy.
Do you know who was in charge of the root causes of migration and working on that diplomatic effort?
The woman who would be standing on this stage tonight.
There is just, you don't get to this moment without the first three years of this administration and the vice president doing that work.
So that's Simone Sanders speaking.
And it's just, they're trying to just lie and rewrite history.
Now, Elizabeth Warren, senator of the great state of Massachusetts, is actually out there saying nothing, dodging a question on how Kamala has changed every major position, every policy position she has taken for years.
Listen.
I see it right now as we're dealing with the issues that are right in front of us.
She's put out some really strong plans like those on price gouging.
Donald Trump's got nothing.
Anyway, joining us now, really longtime good friend of the programs, a very special woman that I've gotten to know, and I dare say I've become friendly with and think the world of, and that is Alice Marie Johnson.
Now, you might remember, Alice Marie was once in jail for 21 years.
She had no hope of ever getting out of jail.
And rather than becoming bitter, she was a, by the way, it was a first-time offense.
And rather than becoming angry and bitter and giving up on her life, which I think it would be a natural thing for people to do, she embraced her faith and she became a mentor to all these young girls in prison.
Donald Trump heard about her story, commuted her sentence, and anyway, was fully pardoned.
And she now speaks out against the lies of the identity politics that have been peddled by the left to confuse at-risk communities who actually believe the Democratic elites care.
If they cared, well, I wouldn't have to be scrolling the names of all the innocent people shot and shot and killed in Chicago since 2009 on TV.
She is just an inspiration.
You know, people talk about identity politics.
Well, nobody has done more for criminal justice reform that has benefited minorities than Donald J. Trump.
The one that was out there calling them predators, that would be Joe Biden.
The person that partnered with the former Klansmen to stop the integration of schools, that would be Biden.
Kamala Harris praises Biden.
She once criticized him for it, but when it came to her power, she was willing to overlook it.
Anyway, our friend Alice Marie Johnson is back.
Alice Marie Johnson, God bless you.
How are you?
We love having you on the program.
And I know you were in Milwaukee.
I didn't get a chance to see you.
I wish I did.
But, you know, here I am in Chicago at the DNC.
I wish you were here with us.
Oh, I wish I was there with you also, Sean.
And I'm so happy to be back on your show again and speak to the public.
There's a scripture that I have to give you, Sean.
And it's out of Proverbs 13 and 12.
And it says, hope deferred makes the heart sick.
I'm sick of broken promises.
I know there is a big message out there of hope right now, but I haven't seen this hope.
I wonder how much hope there is on the streets of Chicago, how much hope there is with veterans who are homeless, how much hope there is from this message of hope.
We've had a lot of good singing, a lot of good dancing that has taken place.
But if I want to hear a song, I can buy a ticket to a concert.
I'm ready for a strong leader to be placed back who has really and truly done so much for the black community, a leader that will turn our nation in the right direction, who cares about justice, impacted people.
So I'm just really excited to see what is taking place right now with President Trump.
And I think that people sometimes forget that we as black people, we can think.
You can't just feed us a fucking a dance and think that's going to get my vote.
I'm voting because President Trump, promises made, promises kept.
That's hope to me.
The things that he's already done with criminal justice reform and what he plans to do in the future, I'm very excited about that.
You know, people forget, I mean, COVID was a once in a hundred year pandemic, and you had to deal with that.
Prior to that, he had unleashed economic prosperity, the likes of which this country had not seen in a very long time.
Yes.
And part of what he unleashed benefited for those that like to break things down demographically or play identity politics.
But he set record low, after record low, after record low, unemployment for African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, women in the workplace, African-American youth unemployment.
And I look at Kamala Harris and I look, what has she done?
Nobody did more for historically black colleges and gave such a large financial commitment than President Donald J. Trump.
He never seems to get credit for it.
I mean, the constant implication is that he must be racist.
I doubt that Alice Marie Johnson, that he was, if he was racist, that people that are African American, like yourself, that were unfairly sentenced and targeted, you don't get one, you know, guilty of one offense in your life and get a life in prison.
That is insanity.
Plus, 25 years in prison, this is what I want to say about what President Trump did for me.
He looked at me as a person.
When I've met with him in the past and I've spoken to him, he don't speak to me as I'm a black woman.
He speaks to me as I'm a human being.
I could tell you right now, I'll say it because I've had conversations about you with him.
He loves you.
He thinks the world of you.
And you don't even know this yet.
I said, you know, would you ever think about bringing Alice Marie Johnson in to do more work on this issue?
And he said, absolutely.
And I thought if I saw you at the RNC, I was going to tell you that.
It was a private conversation.
I was going to bring it up in an interview.
And I was just talking to him about it.
And he says, I want to do a lot more on criminal justice reform.
Shuh, I am not a talking head.
I'm not tandering to anyone.
I'm not.
This is not a personal attack against anyone, but it's personal to me because these things are impacting my family and my community personally.
When we have out-of-control immigration, jobs are being taken away from my grandchildren that they should have gotten because they've got lower people who are willing to accept lower wages.
I look at what is happening to a city in Chicago where I have relatives at.
I was speaking to one of my relatives who was complaining about a facility that they said that they were not going to fix.
I mean, it was in a park area.
And the next thing you know, they found the money and now it's housing immigrants there.
Is that hope that you cannot trust your elected officials who sell you a lot of promises but don't deliver?
When that hope is deferred and you see something totally different happening, there is no way that I could go along with this.
And to say that people change and all the policies have changed, excuse me, talk is so cheap.
It's so cheap to talk.
Nobody can ever forget the image of when you got out of prison after you got your pardon from Donald Trump and you ran into the arms of your family.
It was such a beautiful moment.
And when did you first get word?
You've been in jail all of these years.
You really didn't have any hope of getting out anytime soon.
When did word get to you that you were being considered for this?
And how did that all go down?
Well, Kim Kardashian reached out to Ivanka and she reached out to Jared.
And so they started fighting for my release.
In fact, they call themselves Team Alice.
So I had so much hope knowing that family someone sees me and has taken my cause up, even though there were other advocates out there fighting.
They actually were right there in the trenches also.
They met with President Trump on my birthday, May 30th.
Seven days later, the war washes.
I ran across the street into the arms of my family, and I have been running every since for those justice-impacted individuals.
I've helped people gain their freedom through clemency.
I've worked on compassionate releases.
I've worked with Ivanka on 23 of the cases of people who got their freedom.
And these people just didn't get shortened sentences.
They were let out of prison.
They weren't just given some of the pardons that I've seen, even though those were very important.
I'm not criticizing Biden for giving those pardons, but no one got out of prison.
He gave those who marijuana convictions pardons.
He cleared their records.
But I want to know what else.
There was promises made that how sorrowful he was about the 94 crime bill.
Well, you were in a position to do something.
I keep hearing what I'm going to do if I'm elected.
You've been there for almost four years, and what have you done?
President Trump came out of the box running.
He had not even been in position two years when he set me free.
He heard about my case and he had so much compassion upon me and he set me free.
And he asked me if I knew of other people like myself.
And I dedicated my life, honestly, to helping find those people, tell their stories, get them to the White House.
I've met with on both sides of the aisle because this is not a partisan issue.
But what makes this.
Well, as Kamala Harris or Joe Biden, you know, have they ever done anything to help you?
Absolutely not.
No, I have to say that.
But it's bigger than me.
It's the people who are believing and knowing that President Trump, who has been justice impacted himself.
Sean, I don't know if you know this, but the word ex-felon, their progressives did not want to use that word anymore.
They said, call people who, not ex-felons, because that was a bad term.
Call them justice impacted persons.
Well, all of a sudden, President Trump is justice impacted, and they resurrect that name ex-felon.
I think that is absolutely shameful.
But he has given so much hope in his talk about what he is going to do with criminal justice reform.
He's not stopping.
Now he really understands, because he's been impacted, what it feels like to be justice-impacted.
You know, whenever you can trust our justice system, people feel safer because they know that they're not under a corrupt, they're not under this whole thing of corruption.
When you can have trust in it, it makes our community safer.
You know, something that I want to bring out that President Trump did was he signed into law.
He didn't just talk about it.
He signed the First Step Act.
And so far, Sean, over 30,000 people have come home early.
The recidivism rate for them on a national scale is 43%.
But people who came out on the First Step Act is an all-time low of 9.7%.
They are not out here committing new crimes because they were closely vetted.
So when you try to tear down everything he's done, even when it's good for the country, something is wrong about that.
Something is sick about that.
It's like cutting off your nose to spite your face.
So all I is what he didn't do.
I really can't hear what he didn't do because all of them.
Well, you need to get back on the road.
I know you're still doing and working hard and helping these young kids and young women that are in prison and getting their lives turned around so when they do get free, they can have productive lives and find the destiny which God created them for.
But you're a national treasure and it's an honor to be able to call you a friend, Alice Marie Johnson.
God bless you and we'll have you back on, I promise.
Well, I'm looking forward to being back on and just know that I will not shut up.
I will not be quiet because this is an extremely important election.
We all have to get out here and vote our faith.
We've got to not look at anything that has to do with identity politics, but vote our faith.
Vote for this country.
Vote for your grandchildren, great-grandchildren.
Vote literally to turn this nation around.
We love you.
Alice Marie Johnson, we'll talk often.
I'd love to see you out on the road with President Trump.
I think that would be a great addition.
Thank you so much, and keep up the great mission and the work that God put you on this earth to do because you're doing phenomenal.
800-941-Sean, when we come back, the great hot dog moment, I am recommending you don't do it.
You have my full permission not to eat it, but you're hell-bent on doing it.
Is that it?
I am.

When news breaks, you get the inside story that no one else has.
And the behind-the-scenes chatter that the mainstream media doesn't even know about.
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
We'll get to some of your calls here, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
I have selected and we're about to go.
Are we going to do this live on X?
We're going to actually stream.
part of this program because I had a bet with Linda when the entire Eastern Seaboard, every airport was shut down.
She took the insane position that she was, that her plane was taking off.
Because after all, she talked to some pilot who didn't even know there were weather issues.
And that one pilot that hadn't checked the weather actually said all this.
So we are now going to, and I made a, I said, you're not taking off.
And she goes, no, I'm actually boarding now.
I said, you're not taking off.
I said, we didn't take off.
We were on the tarmac for six hours.
And I said, it's not happening.
And anyway, so you just insisted.
And then finally, I'm like, are you going to be that star?
She goes, we're moving now to the runway.
We're taxiing to the runway.
And I'm like, you're not taking off.
And I told you before you got on the plane, don't get on the plane because you're not going to take off.
And then you ended up getting on the plane, spending hours and hours on the plane.
That's true.
And then you had to wait for hours and hours to get your bags.
You never got your bags.
No.
And then the bags got sent to Chicago, unbeknownst to you.
When you went back to the airport the next day, you were shocked.
My bags are in Chicago.
And then we enlisted Kristen and she went and she got the bags for you.
Now, so we made a bet.
I said, I'll give you $1,000 if your plane takes off within an hour.
Okay.
Didn't happen.
And we were in a very foul mood.
You're wrong.
I don't know why you do this, but the bet was actually that I couldn't be more than an hour late.
So that was the bet.
I couldn't be more than an hour late.
Fine.
The technicality, but one and the same in terms of differences.
All right.
So, and then I said, okay, I'll bet my thousand to your hundred and eat a Chicago hot dog when we get to Chicago because you have been so resistant towards eating a hot dog.
Why?
I don't eat hot dogs.
Oh, well, you're about to.
You're about to eat a Chicago.
And I was, listen, I'm a foodie.
You are a foodie.
I actually, this trip has been an eye-opener.
Whenever I get to a place that I really like, I love whatever the local great food that the people like.
Like, I like In-N-Out Burger.
I like Crown Burger in Utah.
I like, I even, I didn't think I'd like deep dish Chicago pizza, but I really liked it.
That's awesome.
What was the name of the place we went to with a deep dish?
Do you remember?
It was so good.
All right.
So, all right.
Now, with all of that said, I have stated that I would prefer that you not in any way do this.
I have said, I don't want you stupid $100.
I don't want you to eat the hot dog because I know you don't really want to eat the hot dog.
I can't wait to eat this hot dog.
Okay, stop.
Now you're not telling the truth.
Unlike liberals, I am a staunch Christian conservative, and I'm happy to hold up my end of the bargain.
You brought a Ritz-Carlton, what is that?
Well, we can give shout-outs now.
We're leaving.
Yeah.
That's fine.
You know what I mean?
We've been here and they've been amazing.
They've been amazing.
Okay.
So you're wearing, what is that?
A apron?
This is an apron.
And the GM, Peter Simon Selly, gave it to me.
Thank you, Mr. Simon Selly.
You've been incredible, honestly.
And we adore you and Jill and your entire staff.
And by the way, I want to give a big shout out while we're talking about it to Simon Sully and the family.
The mom is 85 years old.
And anyway, Peter, who's the GM here, who's been the nicest guy in the world, so nice to us.
Peter, you know, they're not the kindest people we've ever dealt with, ever.
Okay, so I'm telling you right now, again, you do not have to do this.
First, we're going to pay the bills, right?
So you're going to have to go to the bottom.
I want to remind people about because I'm going to go into a food coma after I eat this.
So this is actually.
What is a food coma?
You know, because it's 5:30.
So it's what happens when you eat terrible food for your body.
It knocks you out.
So the My Pillow is.
Okay, you can't whine about you can't accuse.
These are, am I wrong?
This is a fact.
You eat delicious food, which many people consider this delicious.
That's delicious.
I have a feeling it's going to knock me on my booty.
Listen, I got off my diet this week because I ate so many hot dogs.
I didn't.
I had soup every day.
That was really good.

And I am, I don't know.
Oh, my God.
Are you coming in for the real thing?
Am I coming in?
I am going to walk.
Oh, boy.
Oh, boy.
Here we go.
And I want to do an examination if I can.
Sean Hannity is on the move.
I am actually standing and, well, I stand for some radio.
Yeah.
And I'm just double checking.
This is a real Chicago hot dog.
Now, let me point out a couple things.
Relax.
All right.
I just want to point out the poppy seeds, right?
And it has relish.
It has mustard.
You can see the mustard there.
It has tomato.
It has pickle.
It has the hot peppers.
All right.
Are you sure you want to do it?
I'm ready.
And you're eating the whole thing.
I'm eating the whole thing.
Okay.
Let's go.
And for the record, you don't have to do it.
Uh-huh.
Oh, you hear?
We got hot dog music.
I want to know if you love it.
Take your first bite.
All right.
There it is.
First bite is now.
She's chewing it.
It's a lot.
But wait a minute.
Do you like it?
Does it taste good?
I thought I'd spong it.
It does taste good.
Oh, touchdown.
Do you regret not having them earlier in the week?
No.
No.
Because Linda likes these.
I wish we had the disgusting, you know, projectile vomit puke green shakes that we could show.
Oh my God, it's really hot.
It's really hot.
Well, if you don't want the peppers, it's fair enough to take the peppers off.
I'll eat it all.
Oh, good grief.
Now she's being stubborn about it.
She's a woman over there.
Unlike Kamala, I'm not going to flip-flop, you know?
Oh.
Hey, now.
Hey, now.
Let's bring a little volatility.
I'm going to take a little politics with your hot dog, all right?
Look at that.
Oh, look at that.
Taking a nice big bite of that hot dog.
Is that not delicious?
It's so, by the way, look at her face.
On a scale of one to ten, how good is it?
One to ten.
It's a ten.
A 10.
And all this reluctance and resistance.
Absolutely.
My goodness.
All you have to do is listen to me about food.
I know everything about food.
I will say I have learned something this week about you.
What's that?
Which is that you're not just a fast food guy.
You are an all-food guy.
Oh, I love food.
If there is food, Sean Hannity is all about it.
But I'm mostly protein.
I eat like steaks and eggs and meat.
By the way, the way I eat the Chicago hot dogs is I only take one.
Well, why don't you have one with me, boss?
I mean, there's only three more.
I've only had three already today.
I take only the poppy bun and then I put everything over it and I eat it like this.
And I usually scoop out the button because I don't like carbs.
You're spilling a lot.
Should I get you a fork so you really fulfill your promise?
Yeah, I just use my hand.
By the way, that's eaten in like real Chicago style.
Did you get like a manicure for this?
Because I see sparkles on your, your, oh my gosh.
Look at that.
How good is it?
It's so good, right?
You're really giving it a 10.
You're not kidding.
You really like it.
I'm going to eat one every day for the rest of my life.
I doubt that.
I promise you, America.
I promise you, America.
You just promised America.
I promised America.
America knows I'm a woman of my word.
I will say shout out to the chef who actually made me a mini hot dog.
Yeah, which was really cheating.
Just in case.
That would have been cheating.
Well, you know, he's used to people lying here in Chicago, so, you know, if you really didn't like it and like you were like gagging this thing, I would take it away from you.
I would say that's enough.
We're done.
No, but you're going to finish it.
There's a really good radio, true.
This is the best radio.
I'm sure Jason and Katie and Ethan in New York are loving every minute of this.
It's all live stream right now on X.
It's pretty unbelievable to watch this.
I think I should get kudos for being a woman of my wearable.
Well, listen, I think I should get kudos for giving you an exit, a graceful exit.
I did try.
And I was serious.
You know I was serious.
I'm like, Linda, don't do this.
You're not going to like it.
Think of this.
If you think of the exorcist and Linda Blair's head that goes around in a circle, that putrid projectile vomit green that she fires out.
That is what she drinks every day is like a healthy drink.
Or she has an orange version of projectile vomit.
Oh, we're almost done.
Look at this.
Now, I don't think the Nathan's hot dog eating contest is in your future.
But now, could you eat two of those?
I don't think she's eating two of them.
All right, last bite.
Here we go.
All right.
I got to give you, I got to give it to you.
Boom.
All right, there you go.
Linda, great job.
We're very proud of you.
Do you have any?
All right, now you can take a swallow and then say, oh, yes, I'm here.
I'm back.
All right, you're back.
Now, let's talk about the hot dog.
My life is forever changed.
Come on.
No, I'm serious.
It sounds like hyperbole.
You know, it's not hyperbole.
You know, when you have delicious food that you've been told you can't eat because, you know, you want to wear your jeans, you know, it's different.
Look at it.
My jeans fit perfectly.
Oh, please, you're in a baggy shirt.
I'm in tight little jeans and a little shirt underneath my chest.
I am cut.
I work out like crazy.
And you know, I'm a nut.
Bro, it's different for chicks.
It just is a fact.
It's different.
Sorry.
Does that mean I'm not a chick?
Are you questioning my?
I am not questioning your gender.
I'm stating your gender.
You're not a chick.
How do you know one does not identify as a particular set?
How do you know one does not care?
That's exactly right.
No, but it was really, really good.
I have to say.
And the only thing I will tell you if I had to do it over is it's a lot of toppings and my mouth is on fire.
I mean, no, these peppers are very hot.
I'm going to be honest.
Oh my gosh.
I take the peppers off.
But I leave the pickle.
I leave the piccolon.
I offered to let you take it off.
I know, but I thought that would be like, you know, weak and fake news.
How silly?
You eat it the way you like.
I don't want to be fake news like CNN.
I want to give you the real deal, guys.
Come on.
But the thing is, you're allowed to have variations.
Now, it also has on it, and you didn't probably taste it, celery salt.
Oh, no, I didn't taste that.
I will tell you, the thing that stood out the most is the onions.
So I look forward to our flight home together.
I'm going to be very friendly on the plane.
Do you want to make a bet about your flight home?
It's a different kind of flight.
Because you get to get out earlier than I do.
I know, man.
I tell you, American Airlines is coming back at you.
I actually have, you know, a show to do tonight.
Yes, I know.
I get to leave early.
I'm looking forward to it.
But, you know, listen, you won this bet fair and square.
I did.
I'm proud of you for doing it, but I really, I was actually worried about you because I thought.
No, it's good.
I'm going to have two more.
I'm not eating them.
Well, I'm going to eat them plain, you know, but I, you know, they made them for me.
I'm going to eat them.
But you have a lot of extra that you can just put on top now on your plate.
Listen, I got stretch pants.
I'm ready.
Let's do this.
I'm in.
Is that why you don't like it?
Is it because of like you want to eat healthy?
I want to eat healthy, so I'm paranoid, you know, like lots of chicks.
I'm paranoid like people.
I should say there's a lot of people that are healthy.
Yeah.
No, that is a very, very male, chauvinistic, heavily, unlike MSDNC and fake news, CNN, talking about, what did Dana Bash say?
Low testosterone.
She doesn't like testosterone.
I'm like, well, you've been looking at the wrong testosterone then.
I don't know what's going on because there's plenty of wonderful testosterone out there.
I just don't understand.
Men have got to be comfortable.
I'm like, excuse me, I treat, I put women on a pedestal.
Absolutely.
That's how I was raised.
Yeah.
I had three older sisters.
Let me tell you something.
My father, if I mistreated my sister, oh, I paid a huge.
Oh, yes, there was a premium on that.
And meanwhile, they're pounding on me and he's yelling at me that he's behind him.
Ha ha ha.
You know, that was how it was.
Well, there was no haha today.
Today, I did my bidding.
I had my hot dog.
Thank you, Chicago.
Thank you, Sean Hannity.
Very proud of you.
Anyway, thank you, X, for letting us post this and do this live.
