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.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Normally you hear me on our big flagship here in New York, W-O-R, or maybe you listen to my podcast or something like that.
Sean is not here today.
He's in Washington, D.C.
It's actually a big day.
He's doing a big, exclusive interview with President Trump.
Dun dun dun TBD.
Oh.
I don't think he wants it announced yet.
He didn't even announce it himself.
It's on the website right here.
That stupid.
Oh, all right.
Go ahead.
That stupid mediaite.
Forgive me, sir.
Please continue.
Yeah, Sean's just taking the day off.
We don't know what he's up to.
No, go ahead.
Tell the people.
All right, but it's a big exclusive interview with Elon Musk and Donald Trump together.
And it's going to air Tuesday night on Fox on Hannity.
I can't believe you said that.
Why?
It's just so, I mean, you know.
I thought you were a friend of the show.
You just want to break the exclusive news.
He told me to say it.
It's on no.
Oh, now you're blaming the engineer.
Oh, my God.
This is not starting off well.
Oh, yeah.
No, we got a great show for you.
It's not today, but we have a great show.
We have a great show.
It's not happening right now.
It's next Wednesday.
Listen.
All right.
So that's Linda, of course, who she's going to be screening today.
The big executive producer is going to actually screen the.
I love screening.
Do 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 funny thing.
Oh, yeah.
I forgot.
When I first met her, she was like, what were you 19?
Oh, God.
I was so young.
Yeah, I think I probably was 19.
She was a screener then on my show in the evening.
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.
You didn't play any music.
Yeah, you did.
Not on Saturday morning.
You talked about it.
Your music show was at night.
But in the morning, you teased the evening show.
Oh, okay.
Yeah, all right.
Stay with me.
We'll be fine.
It's going to be great.
All right.
So anywho, and 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 doing terrible.
You got to get the calls up faster.
All right.
I take a lot of calls.
You're not moving fast enough.
I turned.
I said, 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 8 o'clock in the morning.
Take it easy.
It was pretty funny.
And then you said to me, oh, I like you.
You're tasty.
And that we were fast friends after that.
Yeah.
Well, it was supposed to be.
But I'm looking forward to it.
Our callers are awesome.
800-941-Sean.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Yeah.
So we'll see if you remember how to screen.
I think you will be impressed by my prowess.
You're welcome.
I heard.
Yeah.
It's like 20 years later.
And we'll see.
Oh, and thank you for your Valentine.
It's beautiful.
Well, you know, there's a big article here about when you send Valentine's.
Is it appropriate now to send a Valentine to somebody you work with?
You know, you got to be so careful in today's world.
It depends.
Is it a liberal or a normal person?
Well, it says a lot of people are worried about that.
You know, a lot of people have what they call a work wife, like somebody you're close to at work.
Is it appropriate to send a Valentine?
And most of these human resources guys, so you got to be really careful about that.
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.
Tells me, don't do this.
Don't do that.
And then you do it anyway.
So I don't know.
Is it 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.
If it's cheap, don't give it to me.
All right.
Well, now, President.
Or digital.
A digital, yeah.
Well, there's digital Valentines.
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?
Just give me a little eyebrow raise.
Nothing special here.
Just a little.
Let you know.
Well, I didn't have your address, so you got a digital.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So where do we even start here?
You're going to hear about this all weekend.
This is going to be a big story.
It'll be the story of the Sunday shows.
The U.S. attorney in New York quit on principal because the mayor of New York was going to be indicted.
There were charges.
Trump told him to drop the case.
It's a flimsy case.
And then this U.S. 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.
10 days from now, nobody will remember this.
It has nothing to do with anything.
But you're going to see this all weekend.
If you're watching Rachel Maddow or all the hate, hate TV tonight, thinking this is all they'll be talking about.
Every Sunday show, I bet you they have this woman on.
Remember Michael Avenatti?
All day and night, the guy was on TV.
And remember Michael Cohen, that guy?
So they couldn't put him on enough.
Every time you turned on any show, there he was.
So this is going to be this woman.
And like Avenatti and Michael Cohen, then you'll never see them again.
That'll be the end of them.
You'll never see this woman again.
But it's good for her because 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 $6 million a year, sometimes $7 million a year.
So if you can do a big round of TV shows, that gets even more law firms calling you.
Now, again, you're going to see her all over the place.
This is going to be the most awful scandal ever in the history of the world all weekend, every Sunday show.
And then wait about five days.
You'll never hear about it again.
So don't worry about it.
President Trump, if he's listening, he's on Air Force One right now on his way to Florida.
You got to 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.
I never saw anything like this in my life.
We're used to Joe Biden for four years.
You know, what he would do, 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, meet the team that won the whatever.
That was it.
And the rest of the day, he literally, this is not a joke.
He would sit upstairs in the residence.
Most of the day, he'd watch Matt Locke.
He'd watch Barnaby Jones.
He'd look at, this is all he did all day.
Golden Girls.
Did Golden Girls make it?
No, I don't think he was a good, no.
He's like a guy who wants to see like an old-fashioned drama.
Manix was a big show with him.
And we go from that to a guy going a mile a minute, getting a thousand things done a day.
You know, 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 Karine, John, whatever the hell her name was.
And then 20 minutes later, you're back at your desk.
They got a nice cafeteria in the White House.
You eat, you hang out, you talk to each other.
They can't take this now.
It's nonstop work.
It never stops.
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.
He'll be there.
He's arriving at Mar-a-Lago at 4:50 today.
There are those thousands of crazy old women at Mar-a-Lago all waiting.
Hello, you remember me?
Can I take a picture?
And that's 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 he's going to, he actually enjoys that.
He likes that.
So he'll talk to them, have dinner, play golf tomorrow.
I think when's the Daytona 500?
Sunday?
He'll probably go to the Daytona 500 on Sunday.
Now, that's going to be great.
You know, he was at the Super Bowl.
Can you imagine no president ever went to the Super Bowl?
You got 120 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.
And then back to work.
He'll be back to work Monday night.
It's going to be nonstop all week.
Democrats are going nuts, absolutely insane.
This is suicidal.
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 going to 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 people love this.
This is what they call 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 David Axelrods, all screaming at them, stop.
Stop opposing this.
You look nuts.
You look completely insane.
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 going to arrest the most dangerous criminal illegals and take them out.
They're opposing it.
They look nuts.
And 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.
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.
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.
He writes, Happy Valentine's Day, Michelle Obama.
32 years together.
You still take my breath away.
What a politician.
So, meantime, 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.
That's because she's crushing him at every turn.
That's because she's from choking him.
Shut up, Barry.
Yeah.
So I don't know what's going to happen.
Would you, anyway, we've got lots to get to.
I'm editing myself here as I talk.
We'll get to 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.
If we can get to Sarah Carter, she's going to 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 the good, the bad, and the ugly.
He's clinics who had come in to get them.
So, hey, we'll take some calls in a minute.
1-800-941-Sean is the number.
1-800-941-Sean.
Mark Simone here.
Make sure you follow me on Instagram.
It's Mark Simone, NYC at Instagram.
And 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 Hammond.
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.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Let's take some calls.
Let's go to Mark in Myrtle Beach, North Carolina.
Mark, how are you doing?
Very well, Mark.
Thanks for taking up the call.
I've been a big fan for a long time since the WNWAM days.
Wow.
All right.
That's about 30 years ago.
Okay, go ahead.
Yeah.
Yeah, well, I'm originally from New Jersey, and my dad and I listened to the station a long time, enjoyed hearing you back then, and through the talk radio days.
And I got to tell you, when I hear your voice on the radio, I don't know, maybe it's me, just I get a sense of comfort, a little feeling, you know?
So I really appreciate 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, you can listen to me every day.
Just get the podcast on iHeart or Apple or whatever.
Let's go to Scott in Pennsylvania.
Scott, how you doing?
Hey, how you doing?
Thanks for taking my call.
I have a real quick question for you.
Yeah.
It's awesome that Trump is signing all these executive orders to stop a runaway freight train.
But how do we get Congress involved to start turning some of this stuff into law so the next administration can't overturn it?
Yeah, that's a good point.
Thanks for calling.
Some you need Congress to do, some you don't.
Well, hopefully Congress eventually will do most of them.
A lot of these executive orders will just stick.
You know, even people always ask about this Gulf of America.
Like, what's the actual process?
Can you just rename it?
Yeah.
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 maps right now, Google Maps or Apple Maps.
You'll see it says Gulf of America.
Now, to get the rest of the world to do that, that's a different matter.
You're going to have to go convince them.
And there's a UN organization that's 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.
It'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 think that there's actually a way to get this stuff signed in law.
And because it's all corruption, all this money that's being stolen and these senators and these congressmen are all involved, what Trump needs to do is do a mass pardon for everybody that was involved in the corruption and say, after this, you're going to 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 things you don't need Congress to act.
The executive order is good enough.
You know, if you want to get rid of a cabinet department, 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 working hard in Washington, D.C. with the president, with Elon Musk.
Mark Simone here in the meantime.
You can hear me on our flagship here in New York every day, W-O-R, or get the podcast, any place you get podcasts.
We have a 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 books.
She will own nothing, which is out right now.
She was an investment banker.
We'll talk about, hey, actually, we'll talk about Valentine's Day, the culture wars, everything else.
Make sure you follow her on Twitter, Instagram, and all that stuff.
Carol Roth, how you doing?
I'm doing well, Mark.
Happy Valentine's Day.
Now, 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.
Difficult to come by and quite pricey.
And so that's really going to capture her heart, I think.
Yeah, but do you have to take her to dinner?
Do you have to what do you have to do?
I think you just hand over the eggs.
Oh, okay.
Not just one egg.
You have to give the whole carton, the whole dozen of them.
And that should probably suffice.
Oh, but then when you hand a woman eggs, it's implying you're going to have breakfast with her.
That's some date.
I like the little subtle play there.
I like that.
So, hey, Tommy Lairn says Tom Holman is our collective Valentine.
Great guy.
He doesn't look like the most romantic kind of Valentine kind of a guy, does he?
Well, I will tell you that the White House's official X 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 message.
Yeah, no, no, he looks like a really, really nice man.
But these Democrats, what the hell is wrong with them?
He's throwing out the most dangerous criminals.
They're getting rid of waste and 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 going to 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 going to be the IRS.
They're going to go look into the IRS and audit their books.
And Democrats are already screaming about this.
Again, suicidal.
Defending the IRS.
People hate the IRS.
I know that the Text Me Harder Daddy crowd is always a crowd pleaser.
You know, these are the same people who said that they were going to hire 80,000 new agents so that they could only go after billionaires.
But at the same time, if you send a $600 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 falling flat.
I actually had 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's what Dodge is trying to undo.
Yeah.
Are we not supposed to notice that the fake news lied to us for the whole campaign?
Remember the 2025 project?
I don't see any signs of any 2025 project.
Are they ever going to 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 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 in the government sector.
I come from the private sector, and obviously you see companies that get in and try and get things done.
And that's really what's refreshing.
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 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 scream and cry and say it's unfair.
But again, these are all things that are meant to benefit us.
How dare Elon Musk try and save us money?
How dare they try to be more efficient 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, I think just exposes who they are.
And they may not win for a really long time 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 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 an orange and this is a banana.
And we're independent and we call the balls of the strike.
No, you don't.
You can't even ask a simple question without looking like Karen who wants to speak to the manager before something went wrong.
And we're over this.
I mean, America collectively said, we're not doing this anymore.
We're not going to feed into the BS.
We're not going to 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.
It's just fake news, as I call it, hate news, CNN, MSNBC.
They realize it's kind of over for them.
You know, these networks have 300, 400,000 viewers, while this show has 17 million listeners.
Joe Rogan has sometimes 50 million.
Don't they realize it's over for them?
Yeah, I mean, it's pretty sad.
My ex-account gets more impressions on a daily basis than their television show.
And that definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome.
So if you are losing so badly, you'd probably say, well, maybe there isn't an audience for this, literally, 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 obviously falling on deaf ears.
You know, 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 think after Trump won, they tried to do that and crying, and I don't think it's quite stopped since then.
But it is amazing for these networks that are supposed to be the serious news.
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 going to be to their own demise.
And that Lester Holt or those Sundays, they always say, the president claimed without evidence that there was waste.
What evidence do they have that he's wrong?
They're the ones without evidence.
I'm sad because I'm from Chicago, and Lester Holt used to be this homegrown guy.
He's a really great guy.
Now he has to sit and read all of this propaganda.
So it's kind of a sad turn of events from him.
But we have gone through so many lies that have been generated, not only without evidence, but with evidence to the contrary.
Things that 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 so on and so forth.
So the idea now that they're going to come out and say, oh, he said this without evidence.
The other thing that kills me, too, is 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'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 every day.
Tried to buy authenticity with Kamala Harris, right?
They tried to buy the celebrities and, oh, I'm a Midwestern, you know, or middle-class girl, whatever they said.
I worked at McDonald's.
And you cannot buy authenticity.
You just either are or you aren't.
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.

And don't forget Hannity tonight, 9 o'clock.
We'll take your calls next on the Sean Hannity Show.
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
Hey, you Democrats, you're doing a great job at finding mayors.
You know, our cities are in great hands.
You found that mayor for LA.
What a great mayor.
There's no water in the fire hydrant.
Karen Best, fire department doesn't have a hose.
Now, Philadelphia, they had the big parade today for the Philadelphia Eagles.
This is not a joke.
She didn't know how to spell Eagles.
Even I, the worst student ever, know how to spell Eagles.
And then she actually just said, do we have the clip?
Okay, listen to this.
This is the mayor of Philadelphia.
E, L, G, S, V, S, Eagles.
Let's go, birds.
Reminded us all through their excellence that nothing is possible when we work together as a team.
Oh, God.
Even Kamala Harris is going, what an idiot.
Where do you find these people?
The Democratic Party, where do you come up with these people?
The best part is that the crowd began to chant against them, her and Shapiro, because we hate them both, and started to literally chant, wrap it up.
They're just so unlikable.
They're very unlikable.
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?
Oh, beyond.
Soros in the pocket.
Terrible.
Okay, but keep an eye on that guy.
He's very built for him.
I got my eye on him, don't you?
He's kind of Clinton-like, watch.
About two years from now, it's time to run.
Suddenly he'll be a centrist.
Forget about it.
Oh, okay.
Forget him.
Ram Emmanuel, his former mayor of Chicago.
Bombo.
Just got a big job.
He just got hired at CNN.
We just talked about it.
We saw him yesterday.
He looks terrible.
No, he's perfect for CNN.
He's got that hate look, that vicious, that Caitlin Collins, evil eyes, vicious.
Looks like she's going to take out a knife and cut you off.
Caitlin is mad.
She's so mad.
The maddest, angriest, most unbelievable.
I mean, how did she get that job?
Hemorrhoid commercial I could see her doing.
But this job.
Are you constipated?
Can't you sleep at night?
You imagine if you went somewhere like to a hotel, you went to check in, and that's the woman glaring at you.
It's frightening.
Who would hire somebody like that?
We have time for a call.
Let's take one quick call.
Let's go to Frank in Phoenix.
Frank, what'd you want to say?
Hello, Mark.
Mark, longtime listener from Steve Allen Days.
I have a question for you, sports.
Go ahead.
Now that Aaron Rodgers is leaving the Jets, do you think if they threw a boatload of money at Brady, he would come out of retirement?
God, I hope not.
I love Tom Brady.
The Jets can ruin anybody.
Anybody that goes there will be ruined.
They ruin Aaron Rodgers.
You go back to all the quarterbacks.
The team is owned by Woody Johnson, who's a wonderful man.
He's a really good guy.
The worst owner in the history of sports ever.
They ruin anybody that comes there.
They could ruin Brady.
One good thing about that Super Bowl, we never ever have to hear anybody compare Mahomes to Brady ever again.
That is over with.
You would never see Brady choke in a big game like that.
Anyway, we've got a lot to get to in the next hour.
It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity.
