Time Text
This is an iHeart Podcast.
All right.
Thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free telephone number if you want to be a part of the uh program.
We have a developing story that Elon Musk's audit is revealing, and we're investigating this in great detail, Fox News.com, uh, that the administration has been paying off its media supporters, and how Politico in the last year alone got 8.2 million dollars from the U.S. government with 44,000 of that coming from U.S. aid.
Uh now, you know, this all being exposed by Doge, Politico received cash from U.S. aid, and it was hardly the government agency that has given the most to Politico, Department of Health and Human Services led the way, one point three seven million, one point three five million, Department of Interior.
Oh, so now we're paying off our media allies uh, you know, massive amounts of money.
Linda, imagine if if it turned out that I took money from the government, you know, uh in in any capacity to give my heartfelt opinions, and anyone that's listened to me, and I've been on the air since 1987, uh, knows that I've I've always been the same me.
My values, my views, my belief in conservatism has not changed at all.
But, you know, you look at all these this this amount of money, 34 million dollars, 13,000 uh 1,349 transactions, and you know, they can give every excuse that they they want that that somehow that they are they are you know uh advertising their pro product on their website,
Political Pro is a customizable policy news feed and intelligence platform for professionals on the front lines of policies, and the pro platform gives you access to exclusive reporting analysis tools to arm you with intel that you need to make informed decisions so you can stay one step ahead.
Um but I you know I wonder if other people now this gets to the heart of MPR and public you know broadcasting, PBS, etc.
Why why are we funding these people?
It's gotta stop.
Um if the Democrats want to die on this hill, the two hills that they seem to want to die on.
Now, I am I understand it's taken a while.
If you look at the Democrats post-election, they were in the dumps.
They were at first they were in a state of shock.
They, you know, it's sort of like the you know, the stages of grief for them.
They were in a state of shock.
They couldn't believe they lost.
The legacy media told them they'd win, and they're just completely out of touch.
And they just assume, you know, that the deep state, I assume, would would handle everything for them as they had in the past.
Uh Republicans got their act together, voters got their act together, and things changed dramatically.
The campaign of Donald Trump.
They had lawyers in in all these, you know, every every district, every state, and they were on top of it.
And a lot of you did what I know many of you didn't want to do, that I was urging you to do, and that is vote early, vote by mail, and assume that your vote will be the determining vote in the outcome of this election.
I can tell you right now, the last thing we want is to lose a midterm election, which is very common for the for the party that has presidential power.
So, you know, that's something we will talk about in the months ahead, I promise you.
Uh and the left is losing their mind, but the two battles they seem to be fighting are losing causes with the American people.
They're fighting over the Harris Biden illegals, the Mayorcus illegals, unvetted, known terrorists in the country, known murderers in the country, known rapists in the country, known cartel members in the country, known gang members in the country.
And and they've they've wanted to pick this fight, and they're angry that Donald Trump is fulfilling his campaign promise to deport them, now sending some to get mo and that they're moving at the speed of light.
We have an update on that today, but they're even more angry that they got exposed.
Now, what we have discovered, and you know, this this is not something, and let me be very clear, because some of the money, for example, to politico were during the Trump years, and you're gonna say, well, Shahannity, what about Donald Trump?
There is no congressman.
There is nobody in Washington that ever reads every page of a spending bill because it's a it's a near impossibility.
And of course, they don't have regular order anyway, and that's why you keep having these continuing resolutions, etc.
that fund government, and we've got to get back to regular order, meaning you you set up budgets for every department, and hopefully some of these departments will be long dead and gone by the time October 1st comes along around the beginning of the fiscal year.
But the the left in this country, what we have now discovered, thanks to Elon Musk and Doge, the Department of Government Efficiency, is that massive amounts of money has been spent, hundreds of billions of dollars has been wasted, hundreds of billions of dollars, as far as I'm concerned, because they hid this from the American people.
And and presidents don't read these spending bills.
They sign them, but they don't read them.
I mean, they they go through them, but they don't even usually specify where the monies are going for.
It's very broad terms, regardless of how big the bill is.
And it's it's it now become a monstrosity.
And anyway, so the left is melting down.
Now we do have after 16 days.
I was gonna run a pool on Hannity.com.
Uh, I can't believe I should have done it sooner.
Who would be the first Democrat, who would be the first media mob personality, legacy media mob to call for Donald Trump's impeachment.
We have a winner.
His name, Texas Democratic Representative Al Green saying that he plans to bring articles of impeachment against Donald Trump after he suggested now.
Again, you have to actually read the details of what Donald Trump said because Donald Trump, when he was talking with Prime Minister Netanyahu, who will be on Hannity tonight, uh, when he was talking about the Gaza Strip and taking it over.
Well, first of all, I it the place has been bombed to smithereads.
Let's be honest.
There's very little to go back to right now.
And anyway, he said we'll we'll do the job, we'll take over the Gaza, and we'll own it, be responsible for dismantling all the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.
We level the site, get rid of the destroyed buildings, create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housing for people and do a real job.
But he's also talking about deweaponizing the area, which is very, very important.
And the president was very clear the Palestinians, you know, want to go back to Gaza.
The only reason they don't, it's it's a demolition site.
And we'll show you the videos of this tonight.
And, you know, we have another problem, and that is that neighboring nations have never wanted to absorb the Palestinian population.
And they haven't wanted to absorb it because from the minute, and we've shown this on TV and and uh, you know, you can't show it on radio, but the indoctrination of children begins from the minute that they're born.
I mean, we they have cartoons that are virulently anti-Semitic.
They have they have school books, you know.
If you kill, if you if you have six Jews and you kill three, how many more, how many more, how many Jews are left to kill?
It's that kind of madness, and you think I'm making it up.
I am not.
Anyway, after 16 days, you know, the Democrats now they are dying on the hill of U.S. aid, reckless hundreds of billions of dollars for foreign countries.
This country needs money.
And they are calling for impeachment of Donald Trump.
Listen.
To whom it may concern Ethnic cleansing in Gaza is not a joke.
especially when it emanates from the President of the United States, the most powerful person in the world.
And I stand here today in the well to denounce what he was said, to denounce what the President said, to denounce the complicity of the Prime Minister of Israel.
and to remind people that Dr. King was right.
Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
And injustice in Gaza is a threat to justice in the United States of America.
I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun.
I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.
I also rise to say that the impeachment movement is going to be a grass-up movement, not a top down.
The people have got to move forward.
The people have to demand it.
And when the people demand it, it will be done.
Yeah.
You see, they want uh let's see, five million dollars for the Institute for Sustainable Communities for Low Emission Cities Alliance.
And and this rally yesterday, I mean this is now we've gone from the denial, grief, depression stage, now the rage stage.
Just listen to Elizabeth Warren.
They're angry, they got exposed for abusing their power and wasting your money.
This is money that could have been spent in small towns and big cities on education, on saving social security and and Medicare, instead of going to Tunisia, Egypt, 56 million to boost tourism, 20 million for a Sesame Street show in Iraq, 40 million for build schools in Jordan Jordan, 11 million to tell the Vietnamese to stop burning cash, 45 million to DEI scholarships in Burma.
You know, I can go on and on and I'll I'll go through a lot of this throughout this.
Then of course, you have transgender operas we paid for with your money in Colombia and transgender comic books in Peru and you know DEI 2.5 million in Serbia.
I mean, all of this is so very, very important.
DEI musical in Ireland, you know, electric vehicles for Vietnam, they've spent hundreds of billions of dollars, and Elon Musk caught them.
And now they're mad at Elon Musk.
Here's Elizabeth Warren.
No one elected Elon Musk to nothing.
That's right.
Not one Democrat in America voted for Elon Musk.
Not one.
Not one Republican in America voted for Elon Musk.
Not one independent in America voted for Elon Musk.
Not one libertarian in America voted for Elon Musk.
Damn, not one vegetarian in America voted for Elon Musk.
And yet, Elon Musk is seizing the power that belongs to the American people.
We are here to fight back.
We are here to fight back.
Then you have Congresswoman from New Jersey, LaMonica MacIver, uh saying, we are at war.
We will not take this.
We will fight back.
And as I close out, because I know we've been out here for a long time.
And shut down the city.
We are at war.
Anytime, any time a person can pay 250 million dollars into a campaign, and they've been given access, full access to the Department of Treasury of the United States of America.
We are at war.
Yeah, he wasn't appointed, he wasn't elected, he was appointed.
And they they got exposed.
And they hate Elon too because he likes Donald Trump.
Here's Chucky Schumer.
I'm gonna stand with you in this fight, and we will win.
We will win.
We will win.
We won't rest.
We won't rest.
Thank you, everybody.
Oh, okay.
If Democrats, if this is their strategy, they want to double down on fighting against deporting known terrorists, murderers, known murderers, rapists, known cartel members, gang members, those that didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty, and they wanna they want to make the case that they should stay, let them do it.
If they if now that they've been exposed for hundreds of billions in reckless, woke, green new deal, trans supporting, DEI supporting, abortion supporting taxpayer dollars going to every country but our country, let them fight on that hill because they have doubled down on dumb, stupid and a uh absolute tragedy.
There's not an American that's gonna support these policies.
And they they are that out of touch with you, the American people.
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 SAS.
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 is our number.
You want to be a part of the program.
I we're still living in the Harris Biden economy.
We don't expect the Trump economic plans to to really get into effect until sometime after reconciliation is passed in the House and the Senate, and that probably will be in May or June.
Um, but you got that means we got to save money any way we can.
I know things will improve, but it's gonna take a while.
Uh anyway, you want one way you can save money and non-sacrifice service is switching from the big carriers, ATT, Verizon and T Mobile to my my cell phone provider, Pure Talk, a veteran-owned company.
They provide the exact same service, the same exact 5G network, the same exact cell towers.
You get the same exact service for half the price.
Uh why would you give it to these big wireless companies?
Anyway, Pure Talk, uh, they offer free phones too, like a lot of these big companies.
If you get a plan, qualifying plan for 45 bucks a month, you can get a free iPhone 14 or Samsung Galaxy, and this is for premium service, and that's uh 25 gigs of data, unlimited talk, unlimited text, mobile hotspot, roaming at a fraction of the price of the big guys, and the average family save close to a thousand dollars a year.
You'll get your free phone by dialing pound two fifty on your cell, saying the keywords save now, pound two fifty, key words, save now from our friends at Pure Talk, America's wireless company.
So what's gonna be interesting, I'm I I'm seeing a lot of chatter, not been able to confirm it yet, but I want to find out if other media legacy uh media outlets have gotten money from the government.
I want to find out because a lot of times when once you allocate, and this is the this is the danger of a big bloated massive bureaucracy, is you never know where the money's going.
And oftentimes then they're not they're not giving you line by line specific, you know, uh direction in terms of what the money's being allocated for, and we're talking now with USAID about hundreds of billions of dollars.
And you know, now we're looking into you know how much might have gone to media outlets in the country.
Um we'll find out.
That that's for sure.
The shock and awe of Donald Trump continues, not just we'll get to Israel in a little bit.
We have BB Netanyahu on Hannity tonight, but the CIA has been offered buyouts to the entire workforce, and what officials said is a bid to bring the agency in line with President Trump's priorities.
What is this really?
What is this buyout offer really all about?
It's about getting rid of the weaponization of our intelligence community and getting rid of it being politicized.
That's what it's about.
You know, how many how many loyalists in the intelligence community still exist for Clapper and Brennan, for example?
How many loyalists in the FBI still exist for Comey and Director Ray?
And you don't think conversations are going to be taking place?
How to resist behind the scenes?
We know that President Trump will sign an executive order withdrawing the US we did sign yesterday the executive order for the United Nations Human Rights Council, cutting funding to them.
The UN relief agency for Gaza widely criticized following following reports that staffers were involved in terrorism.
5,000 FBI employees that worked on January 6th cases.
Did any of these people ever once bring up the issue of whether or not they were applying the law and their investigations equally?
Because in the summer of 2020, what do we have?
We had 574 riots, dozens of dead Americans, thousands of injured cops, billions in property damage, tons of video evidence, and a presidential candidate saying the rioters won't stop, shouldn't stop, and they're not going to stop supporting them.
And that why why was there no commission on the rioting in the summer of 2020?
Army recruiting, by the way, is shattering record since Donald Trump has won.
That does not surprise me.
The Trump Education Department has launched a probe into the explosion of anti-Semitism.
Five specific universities to begin with, Columbia, Northwestern, Portland State, University of California, Berkeley, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, as they should.
Teachers' unions are protesting Trump's executive orders on education while school choice advocates are cheering.
Educators won't be silent.
Randy Weigarten is not happy about it.
It's a Donald Trump, maybe the first sitting president.
I don't know for sure if this is true to show up at a Super Bowl.
As the countdown of Super Bowl, you know, a Super Bowl this Sunday.
Linda, whatever you're cooking is not going to be as good as what I'm cooking.
It's all come on.
What are you going to have?
Your green projectile vomit kale shakes.
Nope, I'm employing my chef IQ.
I'm going to dial up this challenge a notch.
You're actually going to cook food that people want, like meat.
You know, I I I cook a lot of things.
I'm making I'm making steaks.
I'm making pork ribs.
I'm making chicken cutlets.
I have a I have my IQ sense.
Uh they have a pizza machine that I love, and it's it makes the best pizza ever.
It's unbelievable.
And I now make homemade pizza.
But that I don't need it, but I make it for the kids.
Don't lie, right?
You know, you did the chef's taste.
Come on.
No, I mean, and and then somebody's bringing sausage and uh onions, which I love.
That's delicious.
I think that'll be great.
So long as you're rooting for the birds, I'm all in.
Not rooting for the birds.
Why aren't you rooting for the birds?
I'm rooting for Kansas City.
Did you not see that I'm in a Did you not see them in a Super Bowl commercial business?
And somebody put that on you.
You know, nobody helped us.
We've all been through hard times, you know.
We all make mistakes.
It's okay.
You can come to the the good side now.
No.
I'm uh maybe we'll be able to do that.
Saquon Barkley is going to crush the Chiefs, and rightfully so, because they got Travis Kelsey, they got Mahomes.
Blah, blah, blah.
Well, unless the refs are getting paid, too.
I mean, if the refs are getting paid, well, then it's a whole new conversation because the last high check when they played the bills.
All right, first of all, you don't even know what it means to cross the plane.
A year ago, you didn't know what an extra point is.
It doesn't matter.
That was then, this is now I've grown.
You didn't know how many points you get for a field goal.
How many foot points you get for a field goal?
Sometimes one, sometimes two.
Wrong.
Sometimes two.
Wrong answer.
No, you always get three for a field goal.
That's not true.
What does cross the plane mean?
No, what about the kick that comes after the touchdown?
No, no, no.
That's the extra field goal.
What about the case?
Whatever.
I was talking about that point.
It's irrelevant.
You know, you call it what you want to do.
How many points you get?
I no, It's called a field goal.
The point that I'm making here is that when you're watching the referees, let me tell you something.
I could referee that Super Bowl better than those guys.
Okay, give me a couple black and white pinstripes.
I'll get out there.
I'll make it all right.
Okay.
And Mahomes will finally hit the ground like a mall.
I appreciate you.
I I appreciate your home team whining before you.
I'm not whining.
I am speaking loud and no, you're whining.
Oh, yeah.
No, no, no.
You're looking for excuses.
Whining is more high-pitched.
It's more shoemery.
This is more deep and subtle, like Clinton when he's going after an intern.
But for somebody that doesn't know a thing about football, and your poor family is going to have to suffer through kale shakes and this disgusting army.
No, that's only for me.
My family will get wings and stakes as we celebrate how the Eagles will fly and soar above the heavy footed Chiefs.
Are you going to have air fried French fries?
No, I would never do that to my family.
That's only for me.
So you're going to actually cook them in a fryer.
I am.
In case you didn't know, the word air fryer has fry in it.
It has fryer.
Listen, I'm here to help.
You know, green is some it's a wonderful color.
You know why?
Because it's the color of money.
It's the color of growth.
It is the color of capitalism.
All things you love.
Why shouldn't the Eagles be one of them?
I I am all Florida now.
I'm Flor I'm not sure.
Are the Kansas City Chiefs vacationing there?
Did I miss something?
What's happening?
They're not.
They're not.
But if you ask me who I I think is going to win, I think probably Kansas City.
Along with their pinstripe friends or independently.
Okay, you got your little excuse, but you don't even know how many people for a field goal.
No, I listen, I know.
I just pull them different things.
Like I call it the kick after the touchdown.
You call it whatever you call it.
No, it's called the extra point.
It's not called kick after the touchdown.
I call it the kick after the touchdown.
And you know what?
Most people know what I mean.
Touchdown could be the kick off.
Whatever.
That's not first of all, they changed the kickoff.
Nobody even knows what's happening anyway, including me.
Oh my gosh.
I know what's happening.
Does anybody really know?
Come on.
It's ridiculous.
I mean, they have actually made the kickoff woke.
I don't I can't.
Well, it's Roger Goodell.
What else do I expect?
Okay.
Are you done?
Because you you absolutely have lost this audience.
Everybody's sitting there rolling their eyes.
You think that I've lost the audience?
I guarantee you the audience is on my side.
The audience is laughing.
You don't know what to do.
They may not they might laugh at the fact that I don't know the words, but plain means.
They understand.
Gives you.
An extra point gives you an extra point.
I know what it gives you.
I'm very clear on that.
And how do you get the extra point?
You kick it.
Kick it where?
You kick it between the uh, you know, the two things up in the air.
The uprights, you mean that?
I mean they're up and they're right, so I guess they're called uprights.
I call them the two things in the air.
So long as you get between there, you're good.
Sometimes you're outside and then you miss it.
Elon Musk posted on X asking.
Nice segue.
Whether they would support the idea of doge auditing the IRS, which I kind of love.
Uh Trump, by the way, deals a huge blow to the funding of the left.
I mean, this is really amazing.
Now, the other big story is the well, we carried the the uh the Oval Office meeting with Bibi and Prime Minister Netanyahu, then they had a press conference that went on for like 90 minutes after that.
And it's amazing the media melting down over the president saying, well, we'll, you know, first of all, Gaza is destroyed.
You know, remember the people of Gaza, the Palestinians voted Hamas into power.
And Hamas has in their charter the destruction of Israel.
Then October 7th has happens.
Well, part of murder and kidnapping and torture and beheading.
I uh uh, you know, people on the left don't understand.
I don't know.
So it's a complete mess.
It must be demilitarized, number one.
And number two, President Trump said, yes, we'll take over Gaza and we'll we'll do a great job.
We'll dismantle the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.
We'll level the site, we'll get rid of the destroyed buildings, we'll create an economic development that will supply unlimited numbers of jobs and housings for people in the area.
Now, I could tell you right now, I don't believe for a second Donald Trump wants to do that.
Donald Trump is trying to push the people in the region to do what they should have done a long time ago, and that is stepped in and absorbed the Palestinian population.
There have been attempts to do it in the past.
It hasn't really worked out because the people in Gaza are radicalized from the time that they are so young.
And he said, I do see a long-term ownership position in this.
And the left is, you know, like bubble and fizzing like you know, Alkazar in water.
You know, and now the favorite talking point.
This is ethnic cleansing the AOCs and others of the world are saying.
And Trump is suggesting permanently displacing Palestinians from Gaza.
And Jordan and Egypt should find a way to acclimate people into their population, although I understand their hesitancy considering the radicalization of young children in Gaza.
I get it.
It's a very big, heavy lift for these countries.
But if they want long-term peace in the region, they're going to have to step up and they're going to have to do more.
Anyway, um, like everything else, like we began the week, Donald Trump's gonna impose tariffs on Canada and China and uh Mexico, and of course, within seconds, Mexico and Canada blink.
We'll find out what's actually going on with China in the days I'm sure to come.
On the border front today, we have some news.
House Republicans move to punish sanctuary cities that allow Biden illegals to prey on Americans, uh, which I think is the right call.
Republican lawmakers have introduced the Justice for Victims Sanctuary Cities Act.
It would allow victims harmed by illegal immigrants and their crime to sue the sanctuary cities.
First put together by Senator Tom Tillis, now North Carolina now North Carolina Congressman Chuck Edwards said in a statement, sanctuary cities cannot continue to do business this way.
The DHS has raided and nabbed an Ecuadorian rapist who was cut loose by New York City Democrats.
That's more blood on the hands of Kamala, more blood on the hands of others as well.
Anyway, Donald Trump is now signing the order protecting women's rights.
I see Riley Gaines is there.
She'll be on Hannity tonight as well as uh Bibi Netanyahu.
Let's just dip in real quick.
Linda McMahon.
And sitting sitting next to you is the new star is born.
Caroline, congratulations.
You've done great.
New star.
Patrick Marcy Patrick, congratulations, Greg Race.
A great friend of mine has really helped us at the border, done a great job.
Anyway, the president signing an order protecting women's sports, uh, which is desperately needed.
Uh, this is going to get very interesting.
And by the time we come back on the air tomorrow, it's going to take too long to go through because it's nearly an hour.
Uh, the raw 60 minutes interview with Kamala Harris during the election, that transcript.
I wish it was actually why didn't they release the video?
And they're only doing it.
They did, boss, we got both Trump and system.
We got both.
But we did get both.
Okay.
So we get both.
So we'll start going through that and get that to you as soon as possible.
Uh which is really good news because it's going to be interesting to see how 60 minutes they gave.
Remember, they gave two answers to one question, one in a promo, and then another answer that made her look better in the actual show, which was pretty amazing.
Looks like Donald Trump is having a lot of fun.
And he's got a lot of guests at the White House.
He's having a great time.
And he does not care that, you know, the Democrats are melting down and going crazy.
He expected it.
I mean, they can't help themselves.
That's all they've got.
Anyway, listen, if you're a small business owner, if you're a if you have an elderly parent or grandparent in your life, if you have kids, pay close attention.
You know, isn't it great to be able to pick up a walkie talkie, push one button, and you can talk to your kids, an elderly relative, your employees nationwide.
By the way, up to 200 units on one feed.
They're 100% private.
You paid no monthly fee ever.
It's nationwide.
It's on an LTE network.
No contract to sign, no subscription.
And these walkie talkies, I mean, they're not a toy.
This is a modern day miracle.
And you could talk to people with the touch of a button.
We finally got our walkie talkies, and now I can I'm here I am in Florida, and I can talk to Linda at four in the morning and wake her up if she has her walkie-talkie on.
That's right.
We could talk about football.
Why bother?
That's so weird.
Why bother?
You don't even know how many points on a field goal.
Anyway, uh sometimes one, sometimes two, sometimes three.
No, a field goal does three every time.
Every time.
You want to memorize that?
I'm gonna talk to you about it on Rapid Radios, the point conversion options I've heard about in my football for dummies.
Oh, good grief.
There's no point convert on the you're talking about a different topic.
The extra point and a two-point conversion are two very different things.
I'm in the right area.
RapidRadios.com, you'll get 60% off for UPS shipping.
You get a free protection bag.
And if you had the promo code radio, an additional five percent off, that's rapid radios.com.
Promo code radio today.
Promo code radio.
All right.
Well, we come back to the left's freak out over Elon Musk and Doge.
And Doge now going statewide.
We'll check it out with Governor Kevin Stint of uh Oklahoma.
He's started Doge, Oklahoma.
