The prices at the grocery store are going up because democracy is being taken away.
That ain't true.

It's 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, we've got news all over the place today, and we're going to get it all in.
I thought this was very revealing today when I interviewed Elon Musk and President Trump, the issue of these two astronauts lost in space.
And Elon Musk has since revealed that he offered his SpaceX team to go and rescue these astronauts.
They were only supposed to be in space for eight days.
He offered this to Joe Biden, and Joe Biden rejected his offer to bring the astronauts home early.
And it's obvious what the reason why is because it would have made Donald Trump and his supporters look good.
And in the meantime, these astronauts have been stranded at the International Space Station, and our own government has been incapable of bringing them back.
It's sad.
And anyway, there appeared to be a slip.
Now, the astronauts have been kind of reluctant and resistant into getting into the politics of all of this, but they kind of let it slip in an interview when this issue of Elon Musk and SpaceX and his flight company that have now been tasked with bringing Williams and Wilmore home later this month and repeatedly saying the Biden administration abandoned them for political reasons.
And the reason Musk was saying that to me is, and it got quite a bit of pickup in press, is because he made the offer to Biden.
I will go get them.
I want to save them.
Just like he stepped up after the hurricanes in Tennessee and especially in the northwestern part of North Carolina.
And he provided startling communications to people that had no contact with the outside world.
He did the same thing out in California after the wildfires took place out there.
And Musk is saying it's absolutely factual.
There was a press conference with the astronauts, and they were asked if the Biden administration did, in fact, decline Musk's offer to bring them home early, to which one of the astronauts replied that Musk's claim is absolutely factual.
I can only say that Mr. Musk, what he says is absolutely factual.
And they were not briefed on what happened behind closed doors, but they believe him.
I know it to be true.
And I don't think he, any of us really can give you an answer that maybe you would, you know, be, you know, there is no explanation for this.
He could have rescued them a long time ago.
Joe Biden would have gotten the credit.
He could have put aside whatever petty political differences existed and done the right thing.
And the right thing in this case would have been to get these astronauts home as quickly as possible.
But he didn't want to give the win to Donald Trump because Donald Trump was being supported by Elon Musk.
And that's just, I mean, it's just, if you needed any further evidence about where the modern, extreme, radicalized, frankly, dead party known as the formerly, you know, the Democratic Party is, I mean, why wouldn't you put the lives and safety and security of these brave astronauts?
I admire anybody that's willing to go up in the space.
I have no desire to go up in the space.
You know, friends of mine that are pilots, they're like, well, don't you want to learn how to fly?
I'm like, nope.
I have no desire to fly an airplane.
I don't.
But every pilot I know has a passion.
They've had a passion since they're kids to fly airplanes.
I like to learn more about it.
I like to listen to them.
I like to know why they felt such a passion, but that's where they were.
The New York Post has a story out speaking of Biden three months after he was spared a jail sentence thanks to his father's preemptive pardon.
Hunter now is complaining that he is homeless and he is broke and he still owes millions of dollars and he can't earn a living because nobody wants to buy his finger paintings anymore.
And it gets better.
After he got his pardon, Hunter was planning to cash in on his fame by becoming a public speaker.
Quote, given the positive feedback and reviews of my artwork and memoir, I was expecting to obtain paid speaking engagement and paid appearances, but that has not happened.
Well, maybe he can contact, I don't know, his old buddies over at Burisma and get back.
They probably don't want him anymore because he doesn't have any experience.
And he was being paid millions of dollars, and he was addicted to drugs at the time, and he admitted he didn't have any experience.
And the only reason they brought him in is fairly obvious to anybody with eyes to see is that that would have been a direct contact to his father who lied to the American people and said never once did he talk to his son, brother, or anybody for that matter about their foreign business dealings.
But anyway, it goes on a little bit further.
Hunter Biden has asked the federal judge to drop the laptop hacking lawsuit that he slapped against a former Trump White House aide because of millions of dollars in debt from losing a home in Los Angeles during the wildfires and no one buying his exorbitant art now that his dad's not in office.
Anyway, he blamed the recent fires as well as dwindling sales of his artwork and memoir for him being plagued with significant debt, keeping him from litigating the case.
He has suffered a significant downturn in his income and has significant debt in the millions of dollars range.
Expect a bankruptcy probably coming soon, would be my best guess.
His attorneys arguing as they laid bare the apparent financial woes.
Look, he got his preemptive pardon.
Brother Jim got the preemptive pardon.
Joe didn't pardon himself.
I'd like to get to the bottom of Arisma.
I'd like to get to the bottom of these payments.
And it's like others in that situation.
He said his troubles were exacerbated by the Pacific Palisades wildfires that made the home that he rents unlivable.
Are there not other places to rent that are probably a lot cheaper than the Pacific Palisades?
Like many others in that situation, I'm having difficulty finding a new permanent place to live.
Maybe he can go back.
His father has multiple homes and go live with his father.
Like many others, I'm having difficulty.
While I was aware of that my financial position had significantly deteriorated over time, it was not until the past month I realized I had to take drastic actions to alleviate the situation.
In the two to three years prior to December 2023, I sold 27 pieces of art at an average of $54,481, $54,481.
But since then, I only sold one piece of art for $36,000.
Similarly, my book sales.
I mean, are we really supposed to feel sorry for Hunter Biden?
I mean, in all honesty, the preemptive pardons, what we know he got away with.
Give me a break.
I don't really feel sorry for Hunter.
Zero experience.
We are watching the death of a political movement before our eyes.
It doesn't mean that they can't come back.
And I just want to create a sense of caution here.
And that is that the radicalism that we're witnessing every day that culminated in the behavior at the state, well, the joint session of Congress with President Trump, and they're holding up their bingo cards, and Al Green getting thrown out and censored today, and the singing and the chanting.
And I mean, no vision for the future.
And watching a Democratic Party now cling to being the champions of men to fight in women's sport or to play women's sports, and for illegal immigrants, their rights of them over the safety of Americans and the right to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on waste,
fraud, and abuse, and radical Green New Deals, and DEIism, transgenderism, wokeism, LGBTQ plus ism abroad, not even in this country.
And they have been reduced to a party of radicals.
And the only one that I saw that even spoke out against the behavior at the joint session was John Fetterman.
And even he recognizes this party's out of touch, but he doesn't have any power as one independent voice to do a thing about it.
Earlier today, when they did have the censure of Al Green, the Democratic Party's reaction will play it for you was to sing, We Can Overcome.
This is their answer.
By its adoption of House Resolution 189, the House has resolved that Representative Al Green be censured, that Representative Al Green forthwith present himself in the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement of censure, and that Representative Al Green be censured with public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
The house had come to order.
The House had come to order.
So, yeah, basically, you know, this woke, angry, visionless mob of angry Democrats hijacking the official proceeding of censure of Al Green.
They refused to obey the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, and his order to end their congressional temper tantrum.
Johnson was then forced to call a recess before he could read the text of Greene's formal censure resolution to the rest of the chamber.
Haven't Democrats been telling us the last four years that disrupting an official proceeding of Congress the way Trump supporters did constitutes an insurrection?
So, and by the way, I'm all for them remaining in this space that they're currently in because it's not going to get them very far.
Before the formal censure could be read out, Democrats upended the House floor proceedings, gathering with the Texas Democrat and singing away.
And it's sort of like Chuck Schumer, you know, out there.
We will win.
We will win.
It's like a 1960s redux.
It's like, you know, they've gone back to a strategy because they don't, what, what do they represent?
I was glad to see this.
Yesterday on this program, we played the insanity and the, frankly, vile comments at MSDNC, Chill Maddow, conspiracy theorist, and Nicole Wallace, who you would think would have known better, considering she was once a Republican.
And this young man who, at the age of eight, was given five months to live.
He's now 13, wants to be a police officer, has over 900 police departments that have recognized him as a deputy.
How cool is that?
And then he became a member of the United States Secret Service when Sean Kern, the head of the Secret Service, gave him his official badge.
I thought that was such a beautiful moment.
Of course, Democrats couldn't bother to get off their backs and applaud such a special moment for this young man, or as a special moment for the young man who's going to go to West Point, or the wife of a police officer that was murdered, or the mother of Lake and Riley, or the mother of Jocelyn Nungari.
They could honor none of these people or honor this young girl who was severely injured by playing a volleyball game against a male athlete that Democrats are championing to be able to play in women's sports.
Anyway, the New York Post reports.
Now, he was six years old.
He had a brain tumor the size of a lemon.
He was given five months to live.
He still has terminal cancer.
The father of DJ Daniel, and Democrats couldn't stand for this 13-year-old cancer survivor, the one that was made an honorary U.S. Secret Service agent by President Trump.
Democrats heard the comments of conspiracy theorists Matt Owen company.
She needs to shut her mouth if she has nothing nice to say, he went on to say, calling it disgusting for honoring, you know, and he went on to say that the MSDNC anchor declared that Trump was, quote, disgusting for honoring DJ in his cancer battle.
This lady didn't even serve time in the military.
I was on the USS Kitty Hawk.
She doesn't need to put her bad energy on us.
This young man stole the hearts and inspired a nation.
And the father goes on and he says, we sat next to Elon Musk, the first lady in front of us, Kash Patel, was at the right of my son's shoulder.
And he said, the first lady was so nice, sweet, down to earth.
Mr. Elon shook hands with us.
I mean, then DJ got up when Jason Hartley heard he was going to be going to West Point.
Anyway, it was pretty unbelievable.
You know, and he had stage three brain cancer.
This kid's been through hell.
You know, the father said, I remember yelling, you know, I was crying.
And he said, you know, it's just sad.
These people are sick.
And this is now what we now watch and witness every day.
But with all that said, nothing stopping Donald Trump from implementing his agenda.
The only thing that can stop them are weak Republicans without spines.
And that's who we have to work on the most.
Because if they push forward the agenda that he was elected to enact, it will be good for the country.
And that's where our focus has got to be.
But the fact that this temper tantrum is non-stop, this rage and hatred is beyond so palpable is kind of mind-numbing because they keep doubling down on the dumbest strategy I think I've ever seen politically in my adult life.
Later on, we'll talk to Newt Kingrich about it.
He's calling it the President Trump's golden age versus the zombie Democrats.
All right, so much ground to get to today.
The Democratic Party's new executive director says America was built on a foundation of racism.
Anyway, the DNC executive director, our country was built on a foundation of racism ranging from the genocide of indigenous people, slavery, and it goes on from there.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Ham, 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.

Democratic Party's new executive director, attacking Americans.
Okay, they tried that during the campaign.
Racists, sexists, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Nazi, fascist.
It just never stops.
We learned that the Biden Department of Homeland Security released 92% of the suspected terrorists that the Border Patrol caught at the border.
This is unforgivable to me.
People need to be brought in and questioned as to how and why this happened.
Now, the New York Post points out that orders on orders from the Biden DHS, they were forced to release 92%.
They were pretty good at catching known terrorists at the border.
They were forced to release 92% of them into America's heartland.
Now, I don't blame the DHS.
I don't blame ICE because they were under strict orders and would have been fired if they didn't obey them.
And the newly freed jihadis could then work on their plans and plotting and planning and scheming the next attack on our country.
The Biden administration, New York Post article, locked up or deported just eight out of more than 100 illegals with suspected ties to ISIS that were caught crossing illegally into the country, according to the director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard.
And the Trump administration is now working to hunt these people down and pick up the pieces left behind by the last administration.
Why would anybody ever do this?
Now, they were all down at Eagles Pass yesterday.
I had been down there with President Trump and with Governor Abbott.
The illegals from ISIS recruited hotbed countries in Central Asia were known to have ties to an ISIS-affiliated network.
And the Biden administration previously informed, was previously informed that 400 illegals utilized the ISIS-tied smugglers to cross them into our country.
And hundreds of them were identified by the feds as either known terrorists or associated with known terrorists as Gabbard.
A little over 100 of those people were arrested in 2024.
Of those who were arrested, only eight were either deported or remained in custody.
Only eight, the rest of them, are released back into the country.
Where are they?
What are they doing?
I have a pretty good idea that they're probably plotting and planning and scheming.
And I know what will happen.
One day, I think it's a matter of when, not a matter of if, but I pray to God that I'm wrong.
Democrats will say, this happened.
It didn't happen under Biden.
It happened under Trump.
Meanwhile, it will be a Biden-Harris, unvetted illegal that did it.
Trump is trying to clean up their mess.
It's going to take years to clean up this mess.
America's largest retailer, Walmart, is telling their China-based suppliers to absorb the cost of Trump's increased tariffs.
Good for them.
Bloomberg News reporting that Walmart is asking Chinese suppliers to cut their prices by as much as 10% if they want to keep their products inside of Walmart.
The spokesperson for Walmart told Bloomberg the retailer is looking to keep prices as low as possible for American consumers.
They're not going to pass this on.
And it's very hard to get into Walmart.
I know people that are in that business.
If you get into Walmart, that's like the gold standard.
I was very fortunate when I wrote my books to get Walmart and Costco and Target and all these big stores that have such large traffic to take my books for sale.
And they ended up being like the biggest sellers of my books because they have such a, and they would prominently display them.
They were really nice to us.
And they don't do that for every book, but they do it for books that they think that people would want to buy.
Anyway, New York City refuses to honor an ICE detainer for the Biden illegal who burned a woman to death.
I had Christy Noam on last night talking about this, blasting New York City's sanctuary policies after the corrections department refused to honor an ICE detainer or an illegal immigrant charged with fatally torching a sleeping woman on the subway.
Why would they not cooperate?
Noam just lit them up, you know, where this Guatemalan national carried out this arson attack.
ICE lodged an immigration detainer with the New York City Department of Corrections.
And because of the current sanctuary city policy, the corrections department has indicated it will not honor the detainer.
This is a reason, as far as I'm concerned, to just defund New York.
Governor Hochl could impose an emergency suspension of sanctuary protection by executive order right now.
Why doesn't she do it?
I mean, is she not paying attention to that type of vicious, violent, evil crime?
Now, Trump did announce a tariff carve-out for Mexico, and a carve-out for Canada is likely to follow.
The president will shield thousands of goods from the new 25% tariffs and could do the same for Canada.
And he announced after speaking with the Mexican president that he agreed to exclude the levy from the levy of all goods as part of the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement.
I did this as an accommendation out of respect for the president.
Now, the president of Mexico is trying to work hard and work together and handing over cartel members.
The Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, told CNBC that goods from both Canada and Mexico that are part of the U.S. MCA would be shielded from the tariffs as early as Tuesday.
Congress, by the way, has repealed Joe Biden's offshore drilling rule.
Legislation to repeal that rule, adding costs to offshore drilling, is now on its way to President Trump's desk.
Thank God.
The president plans to suspend the sanctuary clearances of employees at the law firm that was the center of the Russiate hoax, which is the right thing to do.
In my opinion, till we get to the bottom of this, we need a full investigation.
He is expected to sign an executive order today suspending security clearances held by employees of the law firm that hired Fusion GPS, which produced the infamous Steel dossier.
And a White House document provided exclusively to Breitbart News by a White House official states the clearances held by those that worked at Perkins Cooey will immediately be suspended pending a review of whether their access to sensitive information is consistent with our national interest.
The federal government will halt all materials and services, including sensitive information, family access to the company, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Well, what are they supposed to do?
What are they supposed to do?
I don't see anything else.
And the media, I mean, they had this big overreaction.
The president was seen and picked up on a hot mic saying thank you to John Roberts.
Was he thanking him?
Was he thanking him for his Supreme Court decision on immunity?
No.
President Trump was thanking him for swearing him in when he asked him to do it.
That's why he was thanking him.
Pretty unbelievable.
Pretty sad that this is where the Democratic Party goes.
Portnoy scalding Democrats for their kindergarten skit during the Trump address to Congress.
It's a clown show.
It is embarrassing.
Gavin Newsom started a new podcast.
I guess he had Charlie Kirk as one of his first guests in a one-on-one interview.
In the first episode, the governor marveled at Kirk's success as the founder of Turning Point.
Newsom cited an op-ed by James Carville that urged Democrats to roll over and play dead.
That didn't sit well with the governor.
And anyway, yeah, I hope you guys retreat more for us Kirk replied.
Good answer.
What are the videos?
What are the ones that are most cringy?
He starts saying, well, I don't know.
The harmonious thing of 22 senators all saying the same thing at the same time.
And, you know, he said, give us some advice.
Newsom is asking.
Get better ideas, he said.
And he's not wrong.
But, you know, I've had conversations with Gavin Newsom, and he never listens to me.
He just never listens.
I feel like I'm in a position with him.
I can't help the guy out.
I've tried.
I've tried to be, you know, very straightforward with him, and it doesn't seem to work.
When do you think my invitation's coming, Linda?
I think hell will freeze over?
Is that a real question?
Because I guarantee you he will do that.
Oh, that he'll ask me?
Oh, yeah.
Nah.
I don't think so.
Oh, yeah.
I don't think he likes me anymore.
I don't.
It's not about liking you.
It's about ratings.
He needs some big guests.
I don't do many.
I did the Medi podcast.
Did we ever social that out, that podcast I did?
You can put it on Hannity.com.
You told me to wait.
It's on Hannity.com, but you told me to wait as far as anything else.
Yeah, you could send it out if you want.
Okay.
I don't see a problem with it.
We'll do.
Former Speaker of the House, Luke Kingrich, he was at the joint session this week, and he has a new piece out, President Trump's Golden Age versus the zombie Democrats.
We'll find out what he means by that.
Also, coming up later in the program, we'll check in with Senator Mike Lee.
And remember, Jason Hartley, honored by the president.
He had lost his father.
He had his father, his grandfather, his great-grandfather serving the country, and the president told him before the nation that he got accepted into West Point.
We'll check in with this young man as well.
800-941 Sean is our number.
