	You just want to break the exclusive news.
	He told me to say it.

	So uh that's Linda, of course, who uh she's gonna be screening today.
	The big executive producer is gonna actually screen the I love screening.
	You even remember how to do that?
	First of all, should we tell the story of how you and I met?
	It's such a fun.
	Yeah, I forgot.
	When I first met her, she was like uh what were you 19 or 10?
	Oh my god, I was so young.
	Yeah, I think I probably was 19.
	She was a screener then on my uh my show in New York.
	It was my second day at ABC.
	Wow.
	Yeah, and you came in, you know, your big fancy pants morning show on Saturday where you did only music and it was very popular.
	We didn't play any music.
	Yeah, you did.
	Not on Saturday morning.
	You talked about it.
	Your music show was at night.
	Yeah.
	But in the morning, you tease the the evening show.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, all right.
	Stay with me.
	We'll be fine.
	It's gonna be great.
	All right.
	So anyhow.
	And uh it was my second day.
	I was hired the day before.
	So I had not yet even worked in the studio.
	Mark comes in.
	I didn't know that.
	Yeah, I know.
	I know.
	And he goes, listen, you're you're doing terrible.
	You gotta get the calls up faster.
	All right, I take a lot of calls.
	You're not moving fast enough.
	I turn and I say, listen, I don't know who you are, who you think you're talking to, but this is not a thing.
	All right.
	I'm doing the best I can.
	It's eight o'clock in the morning.
	Take it easy.
	It was pretty funny.
	And then you said to me, Oh, I like you.
	He's nice to you.
	And that we were fast friends after that.
	Yeah.
	Well, it was surprising.
	But I'm I'm looking forward to it.
	Our callers are awesome.
	800 941 Sean.
	We look forward to hearing from you.
	Yeah.
	Uh so we'll see if you remember how to screen.
	Uh I think it will be impressed by my prowess.
	Oh.
	You're welcome.
	I heard, yeah.
	It's like 20 years later.
	And uh we'll see.
	Uh oh, and thank you for your Valentine.
	It's beautiful.
	Well, you know, there's a big uh article here about uh when you send Valentine's.
	Is it appropriate now to send a Valentine to somebody you work with?
	Uh you know, you gotta be so careful in today's world.
	It depends.
	Is it a liberal or a normal person?
	Well, it says uh a lot of people are worried about that.
	You know, a lot of people have what they call a work wife, you're like somebody you're close to at work.
	Is it appropriate to send a Valentine?
	And uh most of these uh human resources guys, so you've got to be really careful about that.
	Uh Linda is like my work wife in that she yells at me and nags me, tells me what I can't do.
	I give you nothing, I yell at you, it's going beautifully.
	And then you do it anyway.
	So I I don't know.
	Is it uh appropriate to send it to people at work?
	I guess it is.
	It depends.
	Is it big and bold and beautiful?
	Then yes it is.
	All right.
	If it's cheap, don't give it to me.
	All right.
	Well, uh now press or digital.
	A digital, yeah.
	Well, there's digital Valentine's.
	I guess nowadays everything is digital.
	You could do that.
	You could send digital flowers.
	What you're looking at me like that's a cheap thing to do.
	Um just give me a little eyebrow raise.
	Nothing special here.
	You know, Just a little let you know.
	Well, I didn't have your address, so you got a digital.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	So uh where do we even start here?
	Um you're gonna hear about this all weekend.
	This is gonna be a big story.
	It'll be the story of the Sunday shows.
	The U.S. attorney in New York quit on principle.
	Because uh the mayor of uh New York was uh gonna be indicted.
	There were charges.
	Uh Trump told him to drop the case.
	It's a flimsy case, and then uh the Suez attorney quit and principal.
	Now it turns out she was about to get fired.
	So the principal was it sounds better if I quit.
	So this story means absolutely nothing.
	Uh ten days from now, nobody will remember this.
	It has nothing to do with anything, but you're gonna see this all weekend.
	If you're watching uh Rachel Matto or all the uh hate hate TV tonight, they're gonna this is all they'll be talking about.
	Every Sunday show.
	I bet you they have this woman on.
	Uh remember Michael Avenatti, where you like all day and night the guy was on uh TV.
	And remember the Michael Cohen, that guy.
	So uh oh, they couldn't put him on enough.
	He was on every time you turned on any show, there he was.
	So this is gonna be this woman.
	And like uh Avenatti and Michael Cohen, then you'll never see them again.
	That'll be the end of you'll never see this woman again.
	But it's good for her because uh when you leave the big U.S. attorney's office in New York, the big law firms will hire you for a lot of money.
	You'd be surprised.
	You know, if you were in the U.S. attorney's office in a high position, you go to a law firm, it's six million a year, sometimes seven million a year.
	So if you can do a big round of TV shows, that gets even more law firms uh calling you.
	Now, again, you're gonna see her all over the place.
	This is gonna be the most awful scandal ever in the history of the world, uh, all weekend, every Sunday show.
	And then uh wait about five days, you'll never hear about it again.
	So don't worry about it.
	President Trump, uh, if he's listening, he's on Air Force One right now, on his way to Florida.
	You gotta slow down.
	You're wearing us out.
	We can't keep up with this.
	I can't keep up with it.
	I never saw a guy work so fast.
	You talk about multitasking.
	Uh I never saw anything like this in my life.
	We're used to Joe Biden for four years.
	You know, what he would do, uh, if you looked at his schedule, every two days, maybe there was one thing on the schedule, usually ceremonial, take pictures with the Boy Scouts, uh meet the uh the team that won the uh whatever.
	That was it.
	And the rest of the he literally, this is not a joke.
	He would sit upstairs in the residence most of the day, he'd watch Matt Lock, he'd watch uh uh Barnaby Jones, he'd look at this is all he did all day.
	Golden girls?
	Did Golden Girls make it?
	Uh no, I don't think he was a good no.
	He's he's like a guy who wants to see like an old-fashioned drama.
	Manics was a big show with him.
	And uh we go from that to a guy going a mile a minute, getting a thousand things done a day.
	You know, um this is not a joke.
	The people on the White House correspondence are telling me they can't take this.
	They just for the last four years, all you had to do, you could sit at your desk, you have coffee, you could watch TV, you do everything you want.
	About one o'clock, you go in the briefing room for 20 minutes, that Corinne John uh whatever the hell her name was.
	And then 20 minutes later, you're back at your desk.
	They got a nice uh cafeteria in the White House, you eat, you hang out, you talk to each other.
	Uh they can't take this now.
	It's nonstop work.
	It never stops.
	They even if they got back to their cubicle, boom, one second later, another photo up, another press conference, another signing, executive orders.
	You know, every time he does something important, he sends out an email.
	We all get these emails.
	You get those, right?
	Office of the commander.
	I can't read all these emails.
	I'm getting worn out just from the emails.
	I can't read all this.
	It's too many things.
	He's actually doing it all, and I can't even read the emails.
	It's just too much.
	So he's heading to Florida.
	Uh he'll be there.
	He's arriving at Mar-a-Lago at 450 today.
	There are those uh thousands of crazy old women at Mar-a-Lago all waiting.
	I walk, you remember me?
	Can I take a picture?
	You might they look great when you see the picture in Mar-a-Lago.
	The gowns, the jewelry.
	Whoa.
	Then when you talk to them, it's how are you?
	It's that crowd.
	So uh he's gonna he actually enjoys that.
	He likes that.
	So he'll talk to them, uh, have dinner, play golf tomorrow.
	I think uh when's the Daytona 500?
	Sunday?
	He'll probably go to the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
	Now, um that's gonna be great.
	You know, he was at the Super Bowl.
	Can you imagine no president ever went to the Super Bowl?
	You got a hundred and twenty million people watching.
	Why would you not go there if you're a president?
	What an opportunity.
	And is there anything more all-American than the Super Bowl?
	So that was a big event.
	That looked great.
	Um then back to work.
	He'll be back to work Monday night.
	It's gonna be nonstop all week.
	Uh Democrats are going nuts, absolutely insane.
	This is suicidal.
	Uh, doge cuts government waste, fraud, and bloat.
	Every candidate, every president, Republican, Democrat said, I will cut waste, fraud, and bloat.
	It was a big thing in the campaign.
	Nobody ever did it.
	They didn't actually mean it.
	They're not gonna really do that.
	This is the first guy that actually did it, and they're going crazy.
	Democrats screaming, it's a threat to democracy.
	It's a threat to bureaucracy, is what it is.
	So they're going nuts.
	And uh people love this.
	This is what they call uh an 80-20 issue.
	80% of people are for this.
	So Democrats look insane opposing this.
	It's suicidal.
	And the smartest old wise men of the Democratic Party, the uh David Axelrods, all screaming at them.
	Stop.
	Stop opposing this.
	You look nuts.
	You look completely insane.
	Uh whatever he does, anything he does.
	And it's all great stuff.
	They're mostly those, what they call those 80-20 issues.
	We're gonna arrest the most dangerous criminal illegals and take them out.
	They're opposing it.
	They look nuts.
	And uh James Carville yelling at them, stop.
	Don't react so much.
	Don't swing at every pitch.
	It's the worst thing you can do.
	So, anyway, we've got lots to talk about today.
	It's Valentine's Day.
	Uh Barack and Michelle Obama posted a Valentine's Day selfie.
	The two of them with their heads leaning into each other.
	Now, supposedly, these two haven't seen each other in eight months.
	She's been living in Hawaii, he's been living in Washington.
	Apparently, according to everybody that would probably know that stuff, the marriage is over.
	Uh, but they put out this Valentine's Day selfie.
	I can't tell where this picture is from.
	It could be an old picture from a couple of years ago.
	I'm not sure.
	They're claiming it's new.
	Uh he writes, happy Valentine's Day, Michelle Obama.
	Uh 32 years together.
	You still take my breath away.
	What a politician.
	Uh so meantime, uh, he's going to funerals, he's going to this, he's going to the inaugural.
	She's not there.
	She's nowhere to be found.
	She lives in Hawaii.
	He lives in Washington.
	But she takes his breath away.
	We don't know what's because she's crushing him at every turn.
	That's because she's not from choking him.
	Shut up, Barry.
	Yeah.
	So uh I don't know what's going to happen.
	Would you uh anyway, we got lots to get to.
	I'm editing myself here as I talk.
	We'll get to uh get to Tom Holman.
	We love Tom Holman.
	Is this guy amazing?
	Is he the best?
	No, I mean, we'll talk about him.
	We'll talk about what he's doing.
	I was like, that's fake news.
	He's not on today.
	No, no, no.
	I'm just saying we're we can get to Sarah Carter.
	She's gonna be on.
	Okay, she'll talk about Tom Holman.
	How about that?
	This guy is the finest, the best, not the most exciting guy.
	I mean, would you want to spend New Year's Eve with him?
	I don't think so.
	Is he arresting illegals?
	Then yes.
	Yes, he's great.
	The best.
	He's like out of an old western, like high noon.
	This guy's unbelievable.
	Like uh the good, the bad and the ugly.
	He's Clintwood coming to get them.
	So hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
	1-800-941 Sean is the number.
	1-800-941-Shawn.
	Uh, Mark Simone here.
	Make sure you follow me on Instagram.
	It's Mark Simone NYC at Instagram.
	And uh don't forget Hannity.
	Tonight, 9 o'clock.
	We'll take some calls next on the Sean Hannity show.
	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 tasks.
	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.
	Music by Ben Thede.
	Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
	Let's take some calls.
	Let's go to uh Mark in Myrtle Beach, North Carolina.
	Mark, how you doing?
	Very well, Mark.
	Thanks for uh picking up the call.
	I've been a big fan for a long time and since the WNWAM days.
	Wow.
	All right.
	That's the about thirty years ago.
	Okay, go ahead.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, I'm originally from New Jersey.
	And uh my dad and I listened to the station a long time, enjoyed hearing you back then and through the talk radio days, and I gotta tell you when I hear your voice on a radio, and I don't know.
	Maybe it's me.
	Just I get a sense of comfort.
	A little time feeling, you know.
	So I really appreciate you hearing on hearing you on radio.
	Oh, well, thanks a lot.
	That's very nice of you.
	It's a nice loving Valentine's message for you, Mark.
	Yeah, I was waiting for a butt.
	But no, thanks, Mark.
	Thanks for calling.
	Take care.
	That's great.
	Well, uh, you can listen to me every day.
	Just get the podcast on uh iHeart or Apple or whatever.
	Let's go to um Scott in Pennsylvania.
	Scott, how are you doing?
	Hey, how are you doing?
	Thanks for taking my call.
	I have real quick question for you.
	Yeah.
	Um it's it's awesome that uh Trump is signing all these uh executive orders to stop a runaway freight train.
	But how do we get Congress involved to start turning some of this stuff into loss in the next administration can't overturn it?
	Yeah, that's a good point.
	Uh thanks for calling.
	Some you need uh Congress to do, some you don't.
	Um well, hopefully uh Congress eventually will do most of them.
	A lot of these executive orders will just stick.
	You you know, even uh people always ask about this Gulf of America.
	Like how what's the actual process?
	Can you just rename it?
	Yeah.
	Uh the president can order all of the federal government to use the name Gulf of America.
	Now, they got Apple Maps, Google Maps, the major map companies to agree to change the name.
	Go on your uh maps right now, Google Maps or Apple Maps.
	You'll see it says Gulf of America.
	Now uh to get the rest of the world to do that, that's a different matter.
	You're gonna have to go convince them, and there's a UN organization that's a uh supposedly in charge of the name of everything internationally.
	You'd have to get them to do it.
	But hey, as long as it says it on Google or Apple Maps close enough for me, that's all you really need.
	That's time for one more call.
	Let's go to Bill in New Jersey.
	Bill, how you doing?
	I'm doing very good.
	The guy actually asked the question that I wanted to answer.
	I I think that there's actually a way to get this stuff signed in law.
	And because if it's all corruption, all this money that's being stolen, and these senators and these congressmen are all involved.
	They could what Trump needs to do is do an do a uh mass pardon for everybody that was involved in the corruption and say after this you're gonna get locked up if you do it again.
	But everybody some of it's corruption, some of it is just they don't care.
	It's not their money, it's your money, my money.
	It comes out of our paychecks, and they just wasted it.
	Some some things you don't need uh uh Congress to act, the executive order is good enough.
	So, you know, if you want to get rid of a cabinet department, that you probably need a congressional act.
	Hey, we got a lot to get to, a lot of great guests coming up.
	It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity, back in just a moment.
	Actually, it's Mark Simone here for Sean.
	He's uh working hard in Washington, D.C. with the president with Elon Musk, uh Mark Simone here in the meantime.
	You can hear me on uh our flagship here in New York every day, W-O-R or get the podcast, any place you get podcasts.
	We have uh great guest.
	Let me see who it is.
	Oh, it actually is a great guest.
	Wow, look at that.
	It really is a great guest.
	Carol Roth, best selling author.
	Actually, two best-selling uh books.
	She will own nothing, which is out right now.
	Uh she was an investment banker.
	Uh we'll talk about Valentine's Day, the culture wars, everything else.
	Make sure you follow her on uh Twitter, Instagram, and all that stuff.
	Carol Roth, how you doing?
	I'm doing well, Mark.
	Happy Valentine's Day.
	Now, uh for men listening, tell them exactly what they're supposed to do for Valentine's Day.
	Well, if you want to get your lady something very nice and very expensive this year, I'd go with a carton of eggs.
	Oh difficult to come by and quite pricey, and so that that's really going to capture her heart, I think.
	Yeah, but uh, do you have to take her to dinner?
	Do you have to uh what do you have to do?
	You I I think you just I think you just hand over the eggs.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh I mean Not not just one egg.
	You have to give the whole carton, the whole dozen of them, and that should probably suffice.
	Oh, but then uh when you hand a woman eggs, it's implying you're gonna have breakfast with her.
	That's some date, so I like I like the little uh the the little subtle play there.
	I like that.
	Uh so uh hey, uh Tommy uh Laird uh says Tom Holman is our collective Valentine.
	Uh great guy.
	He doesn't look like the most romantic uh kind of Valentine kind of a guy, does he?
	Well, I will tell you that the White House's official ex account actually has a Valentine featuring him and Donald Trump.
	And it says, roses are red, violets are blue.
	Come here illegally and we'll deport you.
	So apparently the White House thinks that he is a very cuddly valentine, and I like that messaging.
	Yeah, no, no, he looks like a really, really nice man, but um uh these Democrats, what the hell is wrong with them?
	He's throwing out the most dangerous criminals.
	Uh they're getting rid of waste fraud.
	Why do they keep opposing this stuff?
	Don't they realize that's suicidal to do that?
	I mean, obviously they don't realize anything.
	They don't realize that Trump won the popular vote that he flipped all the swing states red, that he has an incredible mandate, and that mandate is to undo all of the damage that they have been doing to the country for years.
	And they cannot get their heads wrapped around why that happened or why their destructive policies are anti-American because they're not thinking about Americans.
	They're thinking about themselves and what's going to keep them in power, and they don't care if it's somebody here who's here illegally or if it's a slush fund that they're gonna benefit from at the taxpayers' literal expense, they just care about themselves.
	And when you have that narcissist in your life, right, you're not going to get what you want.
	So this is a good lesson for Valentine's Day and for politics.
	Yeah.
	So apparently the latest doge target is gonna be the IRS.
	They're gonna go look into the IRS and audit their books and uh Democrats are already screaming about this again.
	Suicidal.
	Defending the IRS, people hate the IRS.
	I know that the tack the tax me harder daddy crowd is always uh always a crowd pleaser.
	You know, these are the same people who said that they were going to hire eighty thousand new agents so that they could only go after billionaires, but at the same time, if you send a six hundred dollar Venmo payment to a friend, they want to look into it and they want you to report it and they want to know what it's all about.
	So it's okay if the government comes and audits you, you know, working class, middle class America, but if you look at us, what we're doing with the money we forcibly took from you, oh that's a problem.
	And then they wonder why their messaging is is falling flat.
	Um I actually had a a Valentine poem that was about that as well, because I've really gotten into the spirit today.
	Roses are red, violets are blue, the entire government is screwing you, and that dodge is trying to undo.
	Yeah.
	Hey, uh uh are we not supposed to notice that uh fake news lied to us for the whole campaign.
	Remember the 2025 project.
	I don't see any signs of any 2025 project.
	Uh are they ever gonna apologize for all that?
	No, of course not.
	Well, whatever they're doing, if they want to call it the 2025 project, then I love the 2025 project because you know, I I actually feel like I need to take extra vitamins every day to keep up with the pace of them actually accomplishing something.
	I mean, it is wild.
	I've never seen anything like this, you know, in the government sector.
	I come from the the private sector, and obviously you see companies that get in get in and try and get things done.
	And that's really what's refreshing.
	You know, with Trump, with Elon Musk, with people who have been very successful in business, they don't care about government and politics and bureaucracy as usual.
	They want to do what it is that the Americans voted for, and that is create this disruption and this out of the box thinking.
	And it's amazing Because the the Democrats, the corporate press, nobody even knows what to do because some of these ideas are so far afield.
	So all they can do is try to, you know, scream and cry and say it's unfair.
	But again, these are all things that are meant to benefit us.
	You know, it's how dare Elon Musk try and save us money.
	How dare they try to be more efficient and and get rid of waste, fraud, and abuse.
	I mean, it is really amazing.
	And if you took the names out and you asked anyone, hey, is this a good agenda, they would agree with you, right?
	So the fact that they're, again, being so dishonest and creating this projection that Um, I I think just exposes who they are, and they may not win for a really long time you know, if they don't hide their intentions, because they're doing a really poor job.
	Hey, even the media, if you watch the briefings or the uh photo.
	Look at that Caitlin Collins when she's asking the question, she looks so vicious.
	So mean, so nasty.
	What kind of look is that for CNN?
	Yeah, I mean, they're supposed to be, and I know this is laughable to say, but we'll just play along with what they say, you know, oh, this is uh an orange and this is a banana, and we're in you know, we're independent and we call the balls and strikes.
	No, you don't.
	You can't even ask a simple question without looking like Karen who wants to speak to the manager because we're over this.
	I mean, um America collectively said, We're not doing this anymore.
	We're not gonna feed into the BS, we're not gonna play, we're happy, we're energized, we're optimistic about the future.
	And if you don't want to be that, you know, go sulk at home.
	Don't come to the press conference, don't go on TV, just go away.
	Yeah.
	Uh it's just fake news, uh as I call it hate news, CNN, MSNBC.
	They realize it's kind of over for them.
	You know, these networks have three, four hundred thousand viewers.
	Well, this show has seventeen million listeners, Joe Rogan has sometimes uh fifty million.
	Don't they realize it's over for them?
	Yeah, I mean, it's pretty sad.
	My ex account gets more impressions on daily basis than their television show.
	And you know, that definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.
	So if you are are you know losing so badly, you'd probably was say, well, you know, maybe there isn't an audience for this, literally, you know, a very small audience.
	Maybe we need to look at what it is that we're doing.
	And I have a theory, Mark.
	I think if it weren't for people like us who were hate watching to see the ridiculous things that they would say, they wouldn't even have half of that audience.
	So, you know, if they're trying to make money, clearly they're not doing the right kinds of things.
	If they're trying to push an agenda, that's off obviously falling on deaf ears.
	You know, uh, MSNBC, it's right over there in Rockefeller Center.
	You realize if they opened the window and yelled, they could reach more people than they're reaching on the air.
	And I and they think after Trump won, they tried to do that and crying, and uh and I don't think it's quite stopped since then.
	But it it is amazing um, you know, for these networks that you know are supposed to be this the serious news, i they've been exposed.
	The lies have been exposed, the bias has been exposed, and America said we reject this on every single front.
	And so if they want to continue to do the same thing, it's gonna be to their own demise.
	And that uh Lester Holt or those Sunday, they always say the president claimed without evidence that there was uh waste and what evidence do they have that he's wrong?
	They're the ones without evidence.
	I'm sad because you know, I'm from Chicago, and Lester Holt used to be this homegrown guy who's really great guy, and now he has to you know sit and read all of this propaganda.
	So it's kind of a a sad turn of events from him.
	But you know, we have gone through so many lies that have gener been generated not only without evidence, but with evidence to the contrary, you know, things that they they've tried to tell us how good inflation was for us and that it wasn't actually coming and why things were better and you know, so on and so forth.
	So the idea now that they're gonna come out and say, Oh, he said this without evidence.
	The other thing that that kills me too is you know, we've lived through one Trump presidency.
	We understand him, we understand the way he speaks, we understand his shtick, We find it amusing.
	And it's different, right?
	It's different than the way that other people have communicated in that position before.
	And I think that's one of the reasons Americans like him.
	But they try to pretend that you know he oh, he said this thing that wasn't, you know, precise exactly what it is.
	Well, that that's his tenor.
	That's the way that he addresses things, and we all know this.
	And to try to pretend like we don't, it's just very amateurish.
	Yeah, yeah.
	What it is, he's a plain spoken guy.
	He's just real.
	He's authentic.
	And historically, whenever public had to choose between a politician and plain spoken.
	They'll always go with the plain spoken guy.
	They tried to buy authenticity with Kamala Harris, right?
	They tried to buy the the celebrities and uh, oh, I'm uh a midwestern, you know, or middle class girl, whatever they said.
	I worked at McDonald's, and you cannot buy authenticity.
	It's you just either are or you aren't.
	And and Americans want that, and that's the one thing that Democrats can never be, because they aren't authentic.
	Their entire platform is whatever way the wind is blowing that day, they're going to jump on it.
	They don't stand for anything.
	Of course they can't be authentic.
	And that again is why people double down on President Trump.
	Well, very good point.
	Good stuff.

	It's sh they're they're just so unlikable.
	They're very unlikable.
	You know, but that Shapiro looks like a very sharp guy, smart guy.
	I mean, I don't agree with him.
	He's god awful.
	He is beyond.
	Oh.
	Soros in the pocket.
	Terrible.
	Oh, okay.
	But uh keep an eye on that guy.
