All right, news roundup and information overload hour.
Here is our toll-free telephone number.
If you want to be a part of the program, we'll get to more of your calls coming up in mere moments.
We have a Democratic Party that is in complete meltdown mode.
Chris Murphy over the weekend was on.
No conversation about me taking over for Schumer.
We may not have a democracy in a year.
Listen to this on Meet the Press.
Many of your supporters responded online saying you should replace leader Schumer.
Is that something that you would consider?
Would you consider that role?
I mean, I don't think anybody's having that conversation right now.
What's important is that we meet this moment.
And what I'm telling you is that if we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, um, this democracy could be gone.
I don't think we have a year to save American democracy.
Um I think the way the president is acting, uh using law enforcement to target dissidents, uh harassing TV stations or radio stations that criticize him, endorsing political violence, puts our democracy at immediate risk.
Person that endorsed political violence was their presidential candidate.
Uh, they're not gonna stop writing, shouldn't stop writing, we're not gonna stop supporting them.
But just as a mirror reminder, um, we now have three separate polls.
Democrats are in the 20 percentile approval range, uh, and it's only getting worse.
We saw what happened at the State of the Union.
We, you know, meanwhile, a week ago, uh Hakeem Jeffries was saying we've got him on the run.
No, they don't have him on the run.
MSDNC analysts supporting unleashing on Schumer uh for his vote in favor of this.
And uh, you know, it's just getting worse and worse for Schumer every single day.
They don't have a leader, they don't have a vision, they can't even stand for moms that lost their children, they can't stand for a young man that that that beat cancer.
They can't stand for the wife of a slain officer.
They can't stand for the first lady at the joint session.
Uh they can't stand for the president at the joint session.
And liberal groups now calling for Schumer to step aside.
MSDNC, you know, s basically saying that Schumer uh piling on him folded like a papered napkin.
Van Jones, Chuck Schumer in a blast radius of a volcanic eruption of anger from Democrats.
You know, the only one that I heard that made a little bit of sense was Kristen Cinema, who's no longer there, breathtakingly undemocratic, unloading on AOC and the rest of the Democratic Party.
And uh anyway, Nancy Pelosi turning against Schumer.
I mean, they were, you know, comrades in arms in the in the coup against Joe Biden.
Now apparently they're not getting along.
Pelosi calling on Democratic senators before the vote on Friday to defy Schumer.
Uh and anyway, we'll see what happens.
Uh anyway, joining us now is Congressman Byron Donalds from My Free State of Florida.
He just made an announcement that he's running for governor uh down here after Ron DeSantis' turn.
Uh, how are you, sir?
I'm doing good, Sean.
How are you doing?
Why would you ever want to leave that Adam Schiffal?
First of all, we have a great state in Florida, and then we're gonna have to continue to build on the great leadership of the governors, uh, Governor DeSantis, Governor Scott, who've done a great job in the past and make sure that we're leading the country when it comes to how you run a state and having a place where everybody can live free, grow an economy, raise a family, and really see the American dream uh become a reality, and that's the state of Florida.
But I gotta tell you, watching what's happening to the Democrat Party, because they've been lying for for years, Sean, about real policy, what the American people wanted to see.
They lied about President Trump, um, and and now that stuff is all coming home for them, and they gotta deal with the consequences.
The people don't believe them.
The media can't cover for them, and Donald Trump is doing the thing we knew he was gonna do, which is lead on day one, be effective, and and make sure he was gonna push the uh the America first agenda on all fronts.
And the Democrats don't know what to do, they're in disarray.
I'm personally enjoying it, uh, but at the same time, you know, you have to move on to the next step in life, and Florida is gonna need a new governor, and I'm endorsed I'm I'm endorsed by President Trump, proud to have his support, and we're gonna continue to have the Sunshine State be the free state and the best state in the country.
Do you expect the primary there's a lot of talk that that maybe the first lady, Casey DeSantis, will get into the race.
What are your thoughts on that?
Uh all that remains to be seen.
I mean, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Uh what I'm doing is, you know, going to the state the state, uh meeting with stakeholders um as quickly as I can.
Obviously, you're running a campaign, so you have to raise money to that for the effort, and that's going very well.
Um, and then collecting support.
Um, obviously I have uh President Trump support.
Uh we have uh um the Club for Growth.
They've endorsed me as the next uh governor of Florida, and then I have several uh officials in our state, uh that you know, we're gonna be able to announce uh shortly.
And so I'm just excited for uh the the response to my candidacy.
If somebody else gets in, we'll we'll deal with that as it comes.
You know, you you have emerged as a real leader um of the Republican Party and especially in Washington.
And um I think there's a lot of people that that don't even want you to leave Washington because you've become such a powerful effective voice.
Uh and uh however, I think it's much better to be a chief executive than it would be to be a congressman.
I think that uh it's just naturally based on the way it's configured, I think it's just dysfunctional.
Am I wrong?
Uh Congress is very dysfunctional.
And and part of the reason is, and you're seeing it right now, there's so many games that are played on Capitol Hill.
Everybody's constantly trying to posture.
And what the nation needs, and this is why, you know, we're so happy that Donald Trump is president again, is you need decisive leadership based on common sense and based on principles.
And that's why you have the Democrats who are losing their mind for something as simple as wanting to make sure that whatever we're spending the people's money on, that it's being efficiently spent and being spent on the core principles and values of the United States Constitution and what the American people want to see out of their government.
You know, they don't want to see DEI programs in Serbia, but the Democrats want to fund that stuff, Sean.
They don't want a country over ten million illegal aliens, but the Democrats want that stuff.
And so we have a responsibility to lead.
That's why the Democrats are losing their mind.
And on a broader level, what they're realizing is the things they've been pushing for so long simply are not popular with the American people.
You know, they really have become the party.
They had a chance in the U.S. Senate uh a week ago, uh, to champion Title Nine and and women's sports, and they decided to side with the right of men to play women's sports.
Uh, you see with the Democrats and the president using this order to eliminate uh illegal immigrants in the country, and he's using the Alien Enemies Act, and and of course the Democrats run to court, and and then you even have people as vocal as uh Jasmine Crockett defending, you know, the rights of trendy Aragua gang members to stay in the country.
So they're putting the rights of illegal immigrants over the safety of the American people.
They never seem to care about Those Americans that have been victims of murder and rape and and other violent crimes.
They don't seem to care about the fentanyl and opioid crisis in the country.
Uh, and then on top of that, they've been the party defending, you know, all of these attacks against Elon Musk.
He's already identified over 105 billion dollars worth of waste fraud abuse and corruption.
I'm sure by the time all is said and done, we might be creeping towards a trillion dollars.
This is, you know, wasted taxpayer money, and and that's what this party has now evolved into.
I don't I d I don't see a way out for them at this moment.
I'm not I'm not declaring them dead and finished.
Uh I've seen people do that in the past only to be wrong many, many fold.
I think they could be a re-emergence if Republicans make mistakes, for example, and don't fulfill their promises.
I think that that becomes problematic for Republicans.
Uh, but at the end of the day, this is not the Democratic Party of old.
So what do they do at this point?
Um, I don't really care, to be honest with you, Sean.
That's that's not not my mission.
By the way, that's a that's a great answer.
I don't really give a damn.
I don't care.
I mean, look, my mission is to make sure that as Republicans on Capitol Hill, we get the job done.
President Trump has a mandate we have to deliver in Congress.
So, yes, it is making sure that they have all the resources to secure the nation's border once and for all and send people back to their home countries.
It's about it's about reauthorizing President Trump's tax policy and then also putting in the new pieces of it, like no tax on tips, no tax on overtime and social security, it's about energy dominance, it's about laying the foundation of real policies and common sense principles that are gonna allow America to thrive going forward.
And as long as we do that, the Democrats can say whatever they want, they can curse as much as they want, they can do as many podcasts as they choose to, because their policies will not be on the side of the American people.
The last thing I know, Sean, we have some, we have a deep, deep bench of super talented people in our party who, you know, under Donald Trump's leadership, they'll be able to take this thing and continue to move forward, and the Democrats willing will have no place to go.
I think for their party, just be just use common sense is what I would tell them, but they're not going to listen, which is why I don't care, which is why we have to get the job done.
You definitely do.
What do you what do you make of this this rage against Elon Musk?
Uh and we now have acts of terror being committed against Tesla dealerships where cars are are being set ablaze and bullets are being fired into these dealerships and charging stations are being put ablaze and boycotts being issued against him.
What has he done to to bring upon such hate?
Now now even calls for his assassination have become fairly regular, which scares me.
And and very little from the left in terms of standing up and saying enough is enough.
Uh they they they seem well what they want to spend hundreds of billions of dollars abroad on DEI, wokeism, transgenderism, and LGBTQ ism.
Is that is that in the new Green Deal?
Is that their plan?
Is that what they stand for?
Yeah, that's exactly what they stand for.
And what the Democrats rely on is a boogeyman.
They need a straw a straw man to blame for the reason why things aren't going well, so they don't have to take responsibility for their own failures.
And the reason why they're going at Elon Musk right now is because one, Donald Trump is so popular in the country.
Uh that mission failed.
They tried every they tried to do everything with Donald Trump.
It all failed.
And now the new person they're trying to attack is Elon Musk to make themselves look better.
But the real problem is Elon Musk, through the doge effort, is finding all of the stuff that the Democrat Party has been building their platform on.
It ain't just speeches, it's the stuff that they've they've burrowed into the bureaucracy.
The stuff that they've had their billionaires, George Soros and other billionaires on the outside, funding using government money money as a as a matching fund, if you will, to fund these radical left-wing uh programs, not just in America, but across the world.
And so now that we have dug that stuff out, shown it to the American people, and we're gonna put an end to it, they're losing their minds because the the bureaucracy, this is the administrative state, this is the swamp that the Democrat Party has relied on for decades to be successful, and we're getting rid of it.
We're rooting it out, and without that, what do they have to campaign them?
All right, quick break more with Florida Congressman Byron Donalds.
And your call's coming up on the other side.
800-941-SHAWN is our number if you want to be a part of the program as we continue.
you.
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 sas.
You're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday.
On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen.
I'm Ben Ferguson.
And I'm Ted Cruz.
Three times a week we do our podcast, Verdict with Ted Cruz.
Nationwide, we have millions of listeners.
Every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, we break down the news and bring you behind the scenes inside the White House, inside the Senate, inside the United States Supreme Court.
And we cover the stories that you're not getting anywhere else.
We arm you with the facts to be able to know and advocate for the truth with your friends and family.
Sir Dow, verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
Let me ask you about reconciliation.
Uh I it looks like one big beautiful bill is not is emerging into two big beautiful bills.
I'm not sure how it all in the end is going to play out.
Uh, but we're living under the Biden Harris economy.
How do you see this playing out and how soon can it play out?
Because until we get Donald Trump's economic plan in place, we don't have a real chance at recovery.
Um personally, I I think we're probably going to be done uh probably around June or July.
That's what I think.
Um I know the speaker is saying maybe May, June.
I think uh leader soon is saying July, August.
I I'm gonna take the the the middle of that.
I think that the biggest thing is gonna be mandatory spending uh cuts.
As long as we get those cuts and reforms under mandatory spending, we'll have the ability to to get the entire uh uh agenda through, whether it's one bill or two.
I've always been agnostic to that.
I really don't care.
But I I I just want to see the agenda done.
But it's gonna be spending because we have budget hawks in our in our conference in the House and also in the Senate, who've been waiting for a very long time to have the the trifecta and the leadership um to be able to go and do the the the hard work, which is getting the fiscal house in order.
That's the hard work.
And so it's taking the stuff that Elon has found through Doge that's in mandatory spending and getting that waste and fraud out.
It's getting illegal immigrants off the rolls of of Medicaid.
It's getting uh fraudulent getting getting fraud out of out of Medicaid so you can save the money for people who really need help.
And and that's the goal.
It's gonna be tough.
There's a lot of work to be done, and I think it's gonna take you know a couple months to negotiate out the parameters of that.
But once we get the mandatory spending side done, everything else is gonna fall at this place.
All right, just don't leave Congress too soon.
We need every vote right now.
We really do.
You guys have a very slim margin.
Uh Byron Donalds, always appreciate you.
Thank you, sir, for being with us.
800-941 Shawn is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Uh it's either AOC or Jasmine Crockett.
They really are the the voice of the modern extreme radical democratic party.
Here's Jasmine Crockett dodging whether AOC should replace Schumer, but you know she would rather that uh in an interview that she gave on fake news CNN with fake Jake Tapper.
Listen.
Do you think Senate Democrats should replace Chuck Schumer?
I think Senate Democrats have to sit down and take a look and decide whether or not Chuck Schumer is the one to lead in this moment.
You're close with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York.
Some of your fellow House Democrats say, and not just uh progressives, by the way, we've we've heard that uh moderates uh have said this too, um, that they're ready to support her uh to challenge Chuck Schumer in a Democratic primary.
Would you get behind that?
Um, that's four years from now.
Uh, if you were asking me at least in two years, then I would have an absolute answer.
But I can tell you that there are a lot of people that are watching his leadership um in this moment.
This is the moment.
We don't even know what elections will look like in four years if we will have elections.
And so I definitely think that uh younger, fresher uh leadership may be something that many of us, not just depending on what part of the spectrum you're on, but many Americans may be looking for, especially in the state of New York.
James Clyburn also weighing in, Hakeem Jeffries got blindsided by the by the Senate.
I thought Senate Democrats were on board after just voting for a continual resolution.
It's their budget.
They're the ones that appropriated the money.
And they just didn't want to fund it.
And they're the ones for the decades have been saying, Oh, you can't shut down the government.
Which by the way, I've never believed.
Listen.
Bringing uh the House Democrats together, all but one, uh, voted uh to uh over uh not give a black check to this president.
And then it goes to the Senate for the first twenty-four hours, they seem to be on board, and then all of a sudden there's this change.
What happened in the 24 hour period?
I'm not sure.
But nobody should be blaming Horkin Jeffers for that.
So I say, you see, people saying, Well, we need new leadership.
Jeffries played it by the rules.
He played the game the way it ought to be played, and somehow he got blindsided.
And not to be outdone, they're big supporters in the state-run legacy media mob have had it uh over at MSDNC.
You've got Simone Sanders saying that Schumer motivated her to leave the Democratic Party.
I would argue when you listen to all of this that Schumer's days are numbered.
Listen.
There's actually little that the Senate minority leader can say, and the 10 Democrats that voted with the Republicans can say to appease somebody like me.
I'm about to change my registration to independent.
First and foremost.
Shout out to Hakeem Jeffries, though, because the congressional uh Democrats stayed together.
And I'm just gonna bring I don't have a question, I'm just gonna read what Rebecca Tracer had to say.
This is what Rebecca Tracer said.
Let's get Rebecca Tracer up there on the thing.
Rebecca Traester, she writes this.
Um, and she on her subsack, she says in 2024, Democrats ran on warnings that Trump was going to destroy our democracy, and now that he and his team are very much in the process of doing just that, these same politicians are questioning whether or not to stand up to him and his party at one of the first opportunities they have to meaningfully do so.
The only opportunity I would add, there's not another option for Senate or or Democratic or or Senate Democrats or House Democrats to effectively push back.
This was it.
They blew it.
The tape of the Democratic Tea Party was born that the same day that uh Chuck Schumer took to that podium to read that very well-crafted statement that told us he folded like a paper napkin.
And I guess you could sum it up with James Carvel.
I mean, Democrats broke the first commandment of politics, thine shall not make an ass of thyself.
Listen.
All right, you saw Al Green eating a stick on the floor, or this people holding auction battles, and it was it was counterproductive.
And then you saw Alyssa Slack and take a measured, reasonable, articulate about why we oppose this.
And yeah, I I say, like the my first commandment of politics is thine shall not make an of thyself.
They didn't follow the cargo first commandment.
And people say the image of the Democratic Party has never been lower.
Hey, they're pretty much correct.
But the re the reason that is is Democrats don't like their own party now.
Why is that?
Because you a political party exists to win elections.
And it doesn't win elections.
The people in the party don't like it.
Sir, who do you think the leader of the Democratic Party is right now?
Yeah, this James, uh, although James is pretty much kind of lost his mind.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Uh let's say hi to Larry is in Illinois.
Larry, how are you?
Glad you called happy Monday, sir.
Happy Monday, right back to you and top of the morning.
Um, you know, I was wondering, um, with uh the uh plane was uh Trendas or whatever it was, um they wanted to turn it around in midair, and I kind of wish Trump would have said, Okay, your honor, we're gonna turn it around, we're landing it, and you pick out the ones you want to live in your house with you, and you will be responsible for it.
And by the way, any other justices that you know of would like a few, we've got plenty to spare, and make these people put their money and their lives where their mouth is, because as long as American public has to pay the bill, they're okay with it.
Well, I mean, you you're raising a lot of good points here.
I mean, you know, why would the Democratic Party and and their leaders be talking about protecting illegal immigrants, knowing how many m Americans have been murdered, raped, how many known terrorists in the country, uh, cartel members are in the country, gang members are in the country.
You know, what what are they trying to accomplish here?
I mean, was the goal, as somebody stated it this weekend or the end of last week, w was was the goal to get these these illegals to register as Democrats so that they'd win elections in perpetuity?
Was that really their goal if they offer some people something of great value?
Because none of this makes any sense.
The fact that never they have never bothered to acknowledge the Lake and Riley's and their families, the the Rachel Morens and their families, the Jocelyn Nungarys and and their families or all the other Americans murdered, raped, and victims of violent crime.
You know, why why can't they pick up a phone and call them?
Why why would they never mention their name?
Why wouldn't the president ever call them?
Why wouldn't they acknowledge that they created this situation?
Why did they flat out lie to us for four years?
And why are they defending it even still?
If if this party really wants to get their act together, they're gonna have to there's gotta be some introspection, there's got to be some course correction here.
Not that I care, I don't.
Because, you know, while they're in chaos, Donald Trump is just moving at the speed of light and they can't keep up and they just get angrier and angrier.
So and then then they're now turning on each other, which is not true to form for Democrats.
Usually Democrats circle the wagons, Republicans create the circular firing squads.
It's it's nice to see for once the shoe on the other foot.
But we're gonna win that case in court, I promise you.
Let not your heart be troubled.
It's just a matter of time.
Uh let's say hi to Jerry, Long Island, New York.
Jerry, how are you?
Glad you called, sir.
Sean, thank you for taking my call.
Happy Pat St. Patrick's Day to you.
Happy St. Patrick's Day, my friend.
Are you gonna have a little corn beef tonight or what?
Uh, cooking three of them right now.
They're on the stove.
I hope you got the fatty ones.
There's really fatty ones.
Uh there's there's no other there's no other kind.
You have to have the fat.
Oh, you have to.
I mean I was go ahead, I'm sorry, Sean.
No, no, no, no.
I mean, uh to me that makes all the difference.
Uh now, you can go to uh I think probably the best place in New York City that has pastrami and corn beef.
I if you want my take on it, it's definitely Cats's deli.
They're really good.
I don't know if you've ever seen them.
I totally want I used to eat there once a week when I worked on Wall Street.
I it was worth the train ride uh over.
It was so it was so how did you eat there once a week and not gain four hundred thousand pounds?
I mean, it's like a four-pound sandwich when you get a sandwich there.
Well, back then, Sean, I was playing three matches of soccer a weekend and one r match in a rugby on Sunday, so uh I was in pretty good shape back then.
The way I eat now, I'd probably cut it into four, you know, quarters, and I'd eat you know a quarter like for every meal.
Exactly.
So, hey, Sean, you your peace with uh Jarrett on on immigration.
Um I'm I'm an independent, voted for Trump.
I totally support what they're doing when it comes to getting rid of the identified criminals that have come into our country or terrorist or people have just be cre just been evil to uh in our country.
However, there's another side of this.
I want to hear your opinion on this.
I have family members and many friends who have people here that don't have green cards or do have green cards, and are living in fear of being like if they're caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, that they might be deported.
And I think that what's going on with what the administration's doing, as well as it's a good thing, there's another side of this which the left, the media loves to fear uh thrive on the fear of the public.
I think there's got to be some type of messaging out there and and the administration to come through with a program that gets a fast approach to citizenship because a lot of these people have been sitting here for years and they want to be citizens but there's no fast path.
Well let me ask you a question.
Let's say for years you got away without paying your t your uh the IRS money and then the IRS catches up to you.
What do you think the IRS is going to do?
Well I I I think they want to pay their taxes.
They they want No I'm not asking about them.
I'm asking about you.
Let's say let's imagine for a second and I'm sure you pay taxes everyone should pay their taxes.
But let's say you didn't and let's say years you know after years go by and then the IRS finally catches up to you.
What do you think the IRS is going to do?
Do you think they're going to say oh it's okay and give you forgiveness and give you a uh a path towards um you know forgiveness of of the monies that you owe them or are they going to come after you with a vengeance?
Well that that's the fine line and the what I well why is why is it a fine line?
If you didn't respect our laws, our borders and our sovereignty and we know nothing about you and didn't vet you and you come into our country why should you be rewarded with a green card?
Uh Sean I think okay good point.
I'm talking about the people that have been in this country for many years.
All right for many years you didn't pay your taxes is the IRS going to cut you slack and give you a break?
I no I'll answer for you.
The answer is no you're going to be paying interests and penalties and they'll garnish your wages and they'll come after you and they'll take your house if they can the point is is this is you don't have a country if you don't enforce our laws and our borders.
There's a reason why we need to vet people before they come into the country.
We don't know we now have known terrorists, gang members and cartel members, drug dealers in our country and we cannot survive as a country if we allow them to stay.
We don't know anything about them.
And why should we reward people that didn't go through the process the right way and the people that are going through the process the right way have to wait years.
Well let me a can I ask a a question somebody that's been in this country forty years who had a green card and has been trying to get their citizenship.
Well if you have a green card you're in a very different position than an illegal immigrant like I'm talking about.
Well I I I'm sorry I should have clarified that.
Yeah yes they have green cards.
Okay.
Okay so then they're they're in the system they're and they're here legally or else they wouldn't have got it I assume so I mean they're in a whole different position.
They're not the people that are getting deported.
No I exactly Sean and I'm sorry I should have been more clear in my point and I I apologize for that.
What I'm getting at is it's the messaging is what I'm concerned about.
It's because the messaging is putting fear into these people.
Okay into my forget the green card people because they shouldn't have any fear because they're here legally and they're in the system.
But the people that should be in fear are the people that didn't obey our laws, respect our laws or borders of sovereignty.
They're the people that have something to worry about.
Just like if you didn't pay your taxes and you got a letter from the IRS, you would be in fear too for not obeying the laws of our land.
That's why I tell people all the time just pay your taxes.
I and people look at me like I've got two heads some people I'm like you got to pay it.
Just nobody likes to pay it but my recommendation is to pay your taxes.
And you know I I go through credit to get it right.
I thank you for taking Sean I appreciate it.
Thanks for checking in 800 941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.
Um anyway we have a minute Jim in Florida Jim you have one minute go.
Okay, Sean what I want to talk to is uh protesters.
Okay.
I want you to promote uh protesters being required to go to what is an assigned protest park.
I don't want them roaming through our cities anymore.
I want protest parks like they used to have been in various times in in in history where if you wanted to get on the stump and scream go ahead but it's at an assigned place.
We don't have they actually have that in places in New York although they don't always enforce it.
And it's like a uh they build out this like gated pen that they put people in.
Um I believe in freedom of speech I do and I want people to have the right to peacefully protest and you really pretty much have the right to say anything you want as long as you're not threatening people but I do want the people that resort to violence to be held accountable.
Well the pr the problem is it's out of control.
And until, you know, let people go say what they want to say, let them gather as they want to gather, but they need to go to a place where everyone else is not upset by their by their protest.
Everybody should be able to walk down the street without being uh confronted by protesters.
Well, we saw this, what you're describing on display last week.
We have people confronted in their cars.
We saw people confronted a Trump Tower.
It's sad.
Anyway, I appreciate the call, my friend.
