All right, news roundup and information overload our toll-free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, uh we'll be joined in a minute by Senator Mike Lee of Utah.
He's been laying it all out on his ex account every single day, putting up his efforts to push through legislation that support the president, teaming up with Congressman Comer, uh chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, uh, to make that a reality on both sides of Congress, especially now as they work through the reconciliation process.
He's also working to end the Federal Reserve and calling out the nonsense of Democrats, which the entire country saw on display on Tuesday night.
Uh let's go back.
Let's listen to Hakeem Jeffrey.
Republicans are playing partisan games with censure resolutions because they are crashing the economy in real time.
Let me remind all of you before I play this.
The Republicans, Donald Trump's economic plan is not been implemented.
We are currently living under the fiscal policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
In case you don't know, the fiscal year begins October one.
And to try to stop the disastrous bleeding and record debt and deficits accumulated under Biden, which, if you take out the COVID years, 20 and 2021, and the debt that we accumulated those years by a two to one margin, the debt and deficit under Joe Biden was double that of Donald Trump.
And now Donald Trump through Doge and other measures, and as he said, the State of the Union is now pushing to get us to a balanced budget.
But if you listen to the radicalized Democrats, the Republicans playing partisan games with censure resolutions.
Well, what were we supposed to do with with Congressman Al Green?
Just let him get up and start interrupting the State of the Union address.
It was bad enough they all sat on their hands and couldn't stand for mothers that lost children, couldn't stand for cancer survivors, uh, couldn't stand for women injured because of men playing Women's sports couldn't stand for a young man that just found out the great news that, like his father and grandfather and other other family members that he got into West Point, uh they just sat on their hands the whole time and and were performing nothing but antics holding up their you know their bingo signs.
Anyway, here's Hakeem Jeffries, frankly, just flat out lying.
Republicans are playing political and partisan games with their censor resolutions because they are on the run.
Republicans are on the run with respect to the economy.
Donald Trump consistently promised that grocery prices were going to be lowered on day one.
But costs aren't going down, they're going up.
The stock market isn't going up, it's going down.
Inflation is up.
And Donald Trump and House Republicans are crashing the American economy in real time.
Republicans are on the run with respect to the economy.
Not a single bill, not a single executive order, and not a single administrative action has been put forth by Donald Trump or House Republicans to improve the economic circumstances of the American people.
And folks are taking notice all across the country, which is why his approval ratings aren't going up, staying the same.
They're going down.
Actually, the approval for his speech was a like record numbers, not only specifically on the speech given itself and the American people and their reaction to it, but full agreement on the president's position on the economy on doge on on pretty much every issue that he mentioned.
Then Hakeem Jeffries goes on and claims that Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid.
In my interview with President Trump and Elon Musk, the president was clear he's not touching Social Security and Medicaid.
Now, they will eliminate any waste, fraud, and abuse.
And the president went into great specificity about how many people are on the Social Security rolls that are even as old as 360 years old.
Now, as it relates to these town halls, what have we discovered?
We've discovered that there are wealthy individuals in this country.
Couple of these groups, according to reports, maybe linked to George Soros, that have purposely been stacking town halls with, as Rush used to call seminar attendees, like seminar callers, and people that are given talking points for the very purpose of disrupting and trying to make Republicans look bad at the town halls.
This is well funded.
It is orchestrated, scripts are given out, and all of this has been determined and ascertained.
Nobody's ducking or dodging their real constituents.
And like usual, it's just smoke and mirrors, and it is a image play by the Democratic Party.
Anyway, we welcome uh back to the program, Senator uh Mike Lee of Utah.
He's been laying a lot of this out on X. Uh welcome back, Senator, and it was good to see you.
I had an opportunity to see Mike Lee uh recently, and uh was a pleasure to see you.
I think so much, John.
Good to be with you as always.
Let's talk about what Hakeem Jeffery said.
Yeah, look, um, this is the Democratic Party spiraling out of control.
They've got no message of what message they do have doesn't resonate with the people.
This is the same party that voted unanimously in the Senate just Monday night to make sure that men can participate in women's sports.
This is the party that the very next night during President Trump's joint address to Congress, uh, refused to stand and applaud.
Not just for the first lady of the United States, keep in mind Republicans always showed respect for the family of the president, even the president himself when Joe Biden was in office, and Democrats, they didn't do that.
They refused not just to do that, they wouldn't even applaud for the kid with cancer.
Uh who was uh uh awarded the distinction of becoming an honorary secret service agent that night.
They refused to play anything.
They have no message other than trying to attack that which they don't like, which involves everything Republicans say and do.
The American people are with us, they're against them, they know that, and they're spiraling out of control as a result.
So they really have become the only thing they applauded was you know more funding for Ukraine.
We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars to bring it to a stalemate, and it has evolved basically into a proxy war between Russia and the United States, and and they want to continue spending massive amounts of money, which we can really ill afford.
Uh, They've become the party championing men's and their rights to play in women's sports.
They have become the party that also champions the rights of illegals over the safety of Americans.
They have become the party that, even though we've identified hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, corruption, and abuse, they want to be the party that is defending that recklessness.
And I I don't know how they get themselves out of this radicalism.
There seems to be no sensible Democrat, maybe with the exception, the only one that I see that is ever that has since Tuesday spoken out a little bit against it was John Fetterman, but he seems rather powerless in in the Senate uh because his party is so far to the radical left.
I don't I didn't see John Fetterman standing up during these moments that you mentioned.
It's pretty hard when you're outnumbered.
You know, Sean, the woke mind virus has a name, and it's called Marxism.
Once you're infected with Marxism, it's hard to shake it loose, especially when your radical base demands it when your donors expect it, and you can't get away with it.
The only problem is you eventually run out of other people's money to spend.
You eventually run out of the goodwill that you would otherwise have from the American people.
Once they've seen that in the last year alone, the last year of Joe Biden's administration alone, he added one point five trillion dollars in compliance costs, just dead weight loss through the federal regulatory system, through laws written by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats foisted involuntarily on the American people whose elected lawmakers would never vote for such nonsense.
So people get tired of that after a while, and that's part of what propelled Republicans to victory in the House and the Senate, and ultimately Donald Trump into the White House.
Which is why we've got to finish this.
We've got to complete the Doge effort.
To make the Doge effort stick, we've got to make statutory spending cuts through rescissions, packages and other ways.
We've also got to reform the regulatory system bypassing, among other things, the Reigns Act, which we must attach to any bit-filling bill that comes before Congress this year.
Let me let me ask about the efforts to actually get America out from underneath the Biden Harris economy and and record debt and deficits that they've been creating.
It's a process called reconciliation.
And in the Senate, the body that you are in, it there are very, very specific rules and standards that must be met for it to be acceptable.
You can't add to the debt or the deficit.
That's one of them.
And it's a little more complicated than what the House will do.
There's been a lot of talk about one big beautiful bill or whether or not this should be done in two bills.
I would argue it just needs to be done sooner or later, so that the president's economic plan is adopted.
That would include his plan on energy, his plan on immigration, his plan on tax cuts, etc.
Now, uh with all of that said, nobody in the House and nobody in the Senate that is a Republican is going to get everything that they want.
It's just not going to happen.
But the only but there's got to be a way to thread the needle here, and everybody hopefully will get on board and pass the president's agenda.
You're working with the House, you're working with uh James Comer, you know, to help get this agenda passed.
So I ask you, what what's the status of it?
All right.
So the status of it is we've got uh a you know, fairly tight majority in the Senate, uh, with fifty-three votes.
Oddly enough, even though it's a much bigger chamber, uh, more than four times the size, they've got a much thinner margin in the House.
Uh the House informally has the ball at this moment when it comes to reconciliation.
We started with one approach that would have turned into either a two or a three bill uh uh strategy.
Ron Johnson, my friend and colleague from Wisconsin actually makes a compelling case for why a three bill strategy might well be the best.
But given that the House has the tightest margin, uh the House has got the ball.
We're gonna see what they can pass in the House.
If they can do it, one big beautiful bill, so be it, we'll move forward.
But you're right, reconciliation is something that uh is uh very tricky in the sense there are a lot of complicated rules.
Bottom line is it has to be budgetary in nature, has to affect mandatory outlays uh or or w revenues uh incoming.
Um and uh those things can get true on a reconciliation bill with only a simple majority of fifty-one votes.
We look forward to getting that done.
There is a lot of good that we can accomplish in there as far as reforming government in a way that no Democrat would likely go along with, or at least not enough Democrats to get us past the critical threshold of 60 votes to bring debate to a close outside the reconciliation framework.
So we are seeing a lot of effort expended on the House side and on the Senate side, but the next move is likely for the House to make here and look forward to seeing whatever they can get through.
All right, quick break, right back, and we'll continue.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah is with us 800, 941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, we continue now.
Senator Mike Lee of Utah is with us discussing uh now a number of things, how to get the President's economic plan passed and get this legislation and the agenda on the roll and also of his work to end the Federal Reserve.
Uh, we'll get to your calls coming up 800-941 Shawn in a minute.
Let's talk a little bit about your working to end the Federal Reserve and uh how would you do that and why would that be important?
Well, look, if we if we ended the Federal Reserve, put it on a delayed implementation schedule, so then we can figure out what comes next.
Uh we'll be in much better shape.
And what I mean by that is we we we have a system in place that was created rather deliberately, I believe, in order to facilitate the inexorable growth of government, in order to provide a privileged status for a private for-profit business enterprise that we call the Federal Reserve Bank.
That entity, notwithstanding the fact that it exercises a significant amount of government authority.
It's vested with a lot of discretion, uh, of discretionary authority when it comes to monetary policy, uh, bank oversight, and so forth, is itself ultimately a private for-profit business enterprise.
And it's neither fish nor foul.
It's neither man nor horse, but it bears in many respects the least desirable qualities of both.
So if if we ended that and and we instead put it in charge of actual government officials, people who are elected by the American people accountable to them, we'd be in better shape.
Instead, what we'd have is a Federal Reserve Bank that has this so-called dual mandate.
Their job is to manage inflation, keep inflation in check, but also uh maintain uh uh full levels of employment.
These are kind of at odds with each other, and the way it often ends up working is they just facilitate inflation and thereby facilitate the exponential growth of government.
This has been a raw deal for the American people.
If anyone looks at what their dollar buys today as compared to what it bought five years ago, ten years ago, twenty years ago, uh uh uh thirty years ago, it is stunning what happens.
This is theft.
It's reverse Robin Hood.
It steals from the poor and gives to the rich and to the powerful, and that's wrong.
That's why on my social media accounts, particularly on my at Base Mike Lee account on X, I rail on this a lot.
Uh we've got to get rid of the Federal Reserve, and we've got to restore power to the people by doing that and passing the Reigns Act to put lawmakers, elected lawmakers rather than unelected bureaucrats in charge of our government.
We really appreciate your time, Senator Mike Lee of Utah, and I'm very jealous because you have Crown Burger in Salt Lake City, and when you're on recess, you're gonna be a Crown Burger.
I just want you to think of me while you're there.
Because I wish I was there with you.
Crown burger nonstop, just eating as many hamburgers every time I go there, I eat one for me and one for you.
I really appreciate those kind words, Senator.
I really do.
Thank you very much.
As I can only crave one.
Uh anyway, Senator Mike Lee, Utah 800-941 Sean is on number if you want to be a part of the program.
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 fast.
You're our kind of people.

800, 941 Shauna's number.
You want to be a part of the program.
And if you're in like me, I'm getting more and more and more into health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, and mostly my diet consists of meat and eggs.
And one of the things I miss the most is cereal.
I've always loved cereal.
And I use organic and uh no fat-free milk.
And um, and finally I found a cereal that actually works within the guidelines of my diet, and I love it.
And it's called Grainberry Cereals.
And I met with Peter Harris, and it was he and his father that created Grainberry Cereals, and the purpose was to bring the healthiest, most natural choice to the cereal aisle, and you're gonna love it.
And unlike most cereals that are high in sugar, have corn syrup, chemical additives, grain berries focused on controlling sugar levels and being hard healthy.
And Grainberry rather uses natural plant-based fiber.
They have a ton of antioxidants.
Greenberry cereal is healthy, it tastes great, which I love, and it's an all-around healthy food choice.
They have seven grainberry cereals like multi-brand flakes, honey nut, original toasted oats, apple cinnamon.
Linda loves the grainberry raisin brand.
Now, when you go to your grocery store, you might look in the cereal aisle, and there's so many choices that you're gonna have to you probably have to work hard to find it a little bit.
And maybe it's in the health food aisle, which tells you a lot about this cereal versus other cereals.
Anyway, or maybe they don't have it in your local grocery store, although they're in a ton of big chains around the country.
But when you go there, look for grain berry cereals.
And just try which one you think will be your favorite.
Just try one.
And make you make the switch, and you'll know you made a healthier switch.
I mean, it's insane that the fruit loops they sell in Canada and Europe is so different than what we sell here because they don't have all the the colorings and additives that that the American version has.
And I'm like, why wouldn't you make the healthy version in America?
It's infuriating in some ways.
Anyway, go to your local grocery store, look for grain berry cereals today, and if they don't have it, ask your local grocer to get it.
Anyway, it's the official cereal of the Sean Hannity show, and you're gonna love it.
All right, 800-941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.
We played earlier, House Democrats singing We Shall Overcome after Al Green got censured for his little you know display the other night during the joint session.
Um, and the left again angry, bitter, lashing out, no vision, defeated, and now being reduced to this 1960s reducts of of chanting and singing,
and absolutely out of touch with where the American people are as they continue to cling to being the champions of men's rights to play women's sports, the rights of illegals over the safety of Americans, uh, endless wars, the only thing they cheered at the State of the Union the other night,
and the party that puts the rights of you know that that is supportive of reckless spending for the radical Green New Deal abroad in foreign countries, transgender mice investigations.
That was a new one for me.
Didn't know about that one.
Uh, but DEI programs, wokeism, new green dealm, transgender ism, LGBTQ plus ism, and they're spending hundreds of billions of dollars.
And meanwhile, the country's going broke.
Melanie, Congresswoman Melanie Strantzbury, You know, yells it's total BS towards Republicans during a Sanctuary City hearing.
Uh listen to this.
It's total absolute.
They are not making America safer again.
And what they are doing is terrorizing immigrant families.
That is what they are doing.
Parents who are afraid to send their kids to school, parents who are afraid that they won't come home again, kids who are afraid to leave their houses, refugees who have waited for years to come into this country, and our mayors are sitting here enduring this ridiculous, ridiculous hearing.
Jerry is in Missouri.
Jerry, you're on the Sean Hannity show.
Hi.
Yeah, afternoon, Sean.
I'll make this fast.
I don't agree with a lot of what you say, but I got in an education and political science from you and Sean Spicer.
And you're mentioning the new Green Deal.
I am so tired of people like AOC that want to inflict this on us, but uh based on her behavior at uh the Met Gala several years ago.
She wants rules to apply to the rest of us, but not to her.
And the last thing that Miss Ocasio Cortez has a right to lecture any of us about is ethics.
I know you have other callers.
Hope you had a good action.
Well, why don't we have a conversation until you instead of just rushing off the phone, okay?
So you're a Democrat, okay?
Okay.
All right.
So you're tell tell me what part of did you like any anything about how your party behaved at the State of the Union the other night?
Do you think it was appropriate for them not to stand for the president, the first lady for a 13-year-old boy that survived cancer for the parents for the mothers that lost their their children to unvetted Biden Harris illegals?
Do you think they should have sta stood for this 13-year-old cancer survivor?
Should they have stood for Jason Hartley, who is informed he's going to West Point?
You think they do you think that's appropriate behavior?
Did you like them holding up their bingo sign cards?
Did you like Al Green interrupting the joint session?
No, it was wrong, and it reminded me more of dancing with the stars than anything else.
No, uh, some of those people I do like people that my wife stems the day.
She and she's been a preschool teacher for Okay, but this is this is your party.
These are the people that you tend to agree with and support.
So let me ask you.
The Senate Democrats just this week on the issue of fighting for men's rights to play in women's sports.
Do you agree with that?
Uh not at all.
Leah Thomas shouldn't have happened, and I hope it doesn't happen.
Yeah, and he could.
I appreciate your honesty, but they're the ones that prevented that bill from becoming law.
Next question.
The Democrats now are, and you just you just heard one of them, Melanie Stansbury, uh, are fighting for the rights of illegal immigrants.
We have chronicled that we have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, uh, other violent criminals, cartel members, and gang members and drug dealers that were allowed, some 14 million of them, into our country illegally.
Uh doesn't it make sense to secure our border and to deport those people that didn't respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty?
Very much so.
My wife and I were briefly Mexico for a while, about twenty years ago, and uh it'll still happen.
We shouldn't be naive about that, but you're right.
We're now at a 15-year low in terms of illegal crossings thanks to Donald Trump becoming the president, and Joe Biden kept saying he needed Congress's help, he did not.
All right, next question.
So far you're passing the test with flying colors.
You're doing very well.
I'm very proud of you.
Um now the Democratic Party also is screaming bloody murder as Elon Musk and Doge have discovered what what is tens and tens and tens of billions of dollars.
He thinks that the number will be higher than a trillion when all's said and done of money spent abroad, meaning in other countries, on programs like DEI And the new Green Deal and transgenderism and wokeism and LGBTQ ism.
Do you think American taxpayer dollars when we have a nearly forty trillion dollar deficit and the average American only makes sixty-six grand a year?
Do you think their hard earned money should be wasted this way?
Because I do not.
Neither do I. And uh the Democrats have better wake up because I'm not sure it happened.
I talked to uh the other Sean, I share a birth date with him, and no, if the twenty second amendment get could get overturned, and it may happen if the Democrats keep acting this way, Mr. Trump is not perfect, but he's a heck of a lot better than what the Democrats are offering us.
And the Republicans sort of shot themselves in the foot back around the time I was born by having that enacted because the only people that could have won a third term since it's enactment were Republicans, Mr. Ray.
Wanted one.
Do you want do you believe in no Bell Laws defund dismantle the police?
No, it'd be I guess my best interest.
I have a nephew that is working in law enforcement.
No.
Okay.
You sound very reasonable.
Do you do you you uh do you support the idea that America balances its budget?
Yeah, it's gonna be difficult, but yeah.
Well then I'm trying to understand you because you sound like a very nice man.
I can tell by the sound of your voice and your intellectually honest.
Why do you consider yourself a Democrat?
Because there's not one issue I've brought up here that your party now represents that you support.
Why do you why do you why do you identify as a Democrat?
Did you vote for Kamala Harris?
Well, here in Missouri it didn't matter because Mr. Trump carried it doesn't matter.
I'm asking who you voted for.
I voted for, and I'll be frank, I held my nose.
I think I would have been more enthusiastic and will probably disagree on this.
I would have been more enthused to vote for Biden, and I think the Democrats were wrong to throw him under the bus.
Okay, but you voted for Kamala.
Up uh reluctantly.
Reluctantly.
Well, let me ask you, Kamala wanted to taxpayer funded uh uh sex change operations for illegals.
Kamala Harris, after the five hundred and seventy-four riots, said on national TV that the rioters shouldn't stop, wouldn't stop, and that she's not going to stop supporting them.
That sounds like supportive insurrection to me, which seemed to be the biggest deal to Democrats about one riot, and these were five hundred and seventy-four that killed dozens and injured thousands of cops and caused billions in property damage.
I'm just can you tell me one party is there one thing that you agree with the Democrats on?
Tell me what you think they're doing well.
I'll be changed by registration.
Eventually, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
I'm a...
A house husband on Social Security and uh I just What is that?
What is a house husband?
I don't even know what that means.
That means I stay home and the wife works.
She's a preschool teacher.
Uh I mean who I've you're but you're but you're at retirement age.
Um you're just a retiree.
I think didn't you work for the rest of you most of your life?
Uh yeah.
Uh started in journalism, uh, worked most of my uh life in food service.
If I was still working in food service, I like Mr. Trump's idea of no tax on tips or overtime for that matter.
He might be playing to a crowd sometimes, but so do the I don't think he's playing to a crowd because he's pushing hard to implement that promise.
I don't think that's playing to a crowd.
I think that's a promise made that he intends on keeping.
You know, you just you sound like a very, very nice man.
You really do, and it sounds like you're waking up to How intellectually void the Democratic Party has become.
And that's why they're that's why they're scared, even with his imperfections.
Mr. Trump is better than anything the Democratic Party is offering us now.
And going back to Miss Harris for a second.
I don't think any of those riots or many of those riots happened in California.
I think a couple happened up.
No, she was talking in general.
There were 574 of them.
And she went on TV while in the middle of it and said that they're not going to stop.
They shouldn't stop.
And we're not going to stop supporting them.
And they were felting bricks, rocks, bottles, Volotov cocktails at cops.
They uh we had two dozen dead Americans.
We had billions in property damage, and no Democrats seemed to care about that quote, rioter and surround.
Those riots are insurrection.
But listen, I gotta run.
I I spent a lot of time with you.
I think it was just worthwhile.
Uh but Jerry in Missouri, um, I think I'd change that that registration sooner than later.
I don't think this party is your party anymore.
This party does not represent one thing that that you support.
But I do appreciate your call.
I'm glad you're listening.
And you are a retiree, you're not a house husband, even though your wife is still working.
And God bless you, and I wish you and your family the best.
800 941 Shauna's on number if you want to be a part of the program.
Why does he identify as a Democrat?
I didn't get that.
Well, he lives in California.
It's just, you know, par for the course.
Well, I'm just saying it's he's well, he lives in Missouri, so did he say he moved to California?
Oh, I thought he said he was in California.
Well, regardless, I just feel like there's a lot of groupthink, and I also think that people of a certain age are kind of like those Reagan Democrats and Kennedy Republicans.
It was a time when people were a little bit more to the center on both sides of the aisle.
Now we have lunatics on both sides and just a bunch of people trying to run the country in the middle, in my opinion.
That's why I thought it would be worthwhile to go through the exercise of finding out where he stands on these issues.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
