| Our number is 800-941-SEAN. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program, let me play first. | |
| The president announcing he is eliminating the Department of Education. | |
| Here's what he said. | |
| Today we take a very historic action that was 45 years in the making. | |
| In a few moments, I will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the Federal Department of Education once and for all. | |
| Everybody knows it's right. | |
| And the Democrats know it's right, and I hope they're going to be voting for it because ultimately it may come before them, but uh everybody knows it's right, and we have to get our children educated. | |
| We're we're not doing well with the uh with the world of education in this country, and we haven't for a long time. | |
| And we're pleased to be joined uh today by the woman who I chose because she's an extraordinary person, uh, and hopefully she will be our last secretary of education, Linda McMahon. | |
| Linda. | |
| Then we have uh Randy Weingarden, head of the teachers union, uh getting emotional, defending the Department of Education. | |
| Now, I just well, why why has she never gotten emotional about the institutional and systemic failure of our educational system and and how on a spectacular scale all she is advocated for is more and more and more money and more and more and more benefits, | |
| but teachers and the results have gotten dramatically worse, and there's no correlation, as we pointed out in the last hour and pointed out yesterday in terms of the money spent versus the results. | |
| New York, DC. | |
| I can go through the list. | |
| New Jersey, Vermont, Connecticut, they spend the most money, and then you have states like Utah that spend a less than a third of the money that they're spending, and they get better results. | |
| Idaho gets better results. | |
| How is that even possible? | |
| But no, she never got upset over the fact that we pay more than any other any other country in the industrialized world to educate our children with the worst results imaginable. | |
| Why isn't she got emo gotten emotional over this? | |
| Listen. | |
| They're just taking opportunity away from kids that don't have it. | |
| So billionaires, kids are billionaires, they have it. | |
| They go to private schools. | |
| Everyone else, 90% go to public schools. | |
| Don't take away their opportunity. | |
| So let's stay on the facts. | |
| Sorry. | |
| No, really angry about this. | |
| No, because this is really angry. | |
| I'm really angry that you failed our kids so spectacularly. | |
| Anyway, supporting the president and his efforts to put an end to the Department of Education. | |
| We have Congressman Mark Harris, North Carolina, Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, uh, Representative Rooley of Ohio, all supporting the president and their efforts to put an end to the Department of Education. | |
| Welcome all of you. | |
| Uh Representative Miller. | |
| We'll start with you. | |
| Um, I look at the amount of money spent, and we spend more than any other country in the industrialized world with the worst results, and the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. | |
| Uh, this has been a long time in coming. | |
| Absolutely, and I join with everybody in celebrating this huge win for the future of our children because our children are our future. | |
| And this Wine Garden and her group, they they are frauds. | |
| That is the nicest thing I could say about them. | |
| They do not care about the child. | |
| They do not care about the parents, and they also don't care about the teachers. | |
| They're all about themselves. | |
| And I just am so grateful that we have a president that is delivering on his promises. | |
| Oh, I am too. | |
| Mark Harris, North Carolina, I'll ask you. | |
| I mean, there's been this unholy alliance and relationship with the teachers' unions in the Democratic Party, and it goes this way. | |
| It's Democrats. | |
| They get a lot of money from teachers' union from rank and file, whether rank and file likes it or not. | |
| They donate to these campaigns, and all these all these Democratic Congressmen and women, they turn them blind eye to the fact that that our kids are are not at reading at grade level, they're not proficient in math and not proficient in anything. | |
| And especially kids that are in predominantly minority neighborhoods, they seem to be disproportionately impacted, negatively impacted by these poor results. | |
| Well, they are, Sean, and uh thank you for the opportunity to be with you today. | |
| Um look, there's no question that the statistics speak for themselves. | |
| The scores are those that come out of the Department of Education themselves. | |
| And when you got to your very point, Matthew and uh math and reading scores for 13-year-olds at the lowest level in decades. | |
| And when you've got again, just the facts, six in ten fourth graders, and nearly seventy-five percent of eighth graders not proficient in math, as you mentioned. | |
| Um listen, American satisfaction with public schools has hit a 24-year low. | |
| And again, as Mary pointed out, this is something that has been in the making for a long, long time. | |
| I mean, Ronald Reagan talked about dismantling the Department of Education, and I'm very grateful that uh Donald Trump is a president who is uh and a man of action, and uh he's taking the steps to do. | |
| We the taxpayers have been just held up for all of these years. | |
| When you add up the money, three trillion dollars, the Department of Education over the years has spent, and yet these are the results. | |
| I I'm just convinced that the American people sent us to Washington in November of 2024 to do government differently. | |
| And that's exactly what President Trump and what I'm hoping this Congress is going to come in behind and accomplish. | |
| Representative Rue, what's the reaction in your district? | |
| Well, for me, Sean, it's it's really a special subject because I was on the school board for eight years, and in Ohio, we created the ex choice. | |
| So what that does is that is allows moms and difficult neighborhoods like whether it's urban or rural, for you to take a voucher and you choose the school you want. | |
| If you like public, you get public. | |
| Christian, uh you know, charter, Montessori. | |
| We let moms get the power. | |
| Uh, I'm really proud my staff is moving at a uh high pitch fevered uh pace. | |
| We are introducing the uh education restoration act, which is gonna codify the executive order that I was fortunate enough to be there yesterday, and then I believe uh Senator Cassidy is gonna do a twin bill in the Senate, and we gotta get that to the uh president's desk for a signature. | |
| Sean, we're doing such great work, but we saw on Joe Biden's day number one, he overturned all those amazing things that Trump did the first time. | |
| We can't let that happen again, my friend. | |
| Yeah, and a lot of what the president is doing through executive action and executive orders is going to have to be codified, Congresswoman Miller into law. | |
| And uh, but first and foremost, I guess you're facing this massive reconciliation bill, and uh will that get done and how soon can that get done? | |
| Because I think it's imperative to get the economy rolling. | |
| Well, it is a priority, and we do need to codify these things, but in light of codifying uh President Trump's executive orders, next week I'm going to bringing out a b be bringing in a bill called Keep Our Girls Safe to Act to make sure that males are out of female uh safe spaces, they're private spaces and not only codifying this, but um many of Trump's executive orders have to be codified into law. | |
| So um I do want to say though that I am going to fight until the last day I'm in Congress against uh indecency that is being put in front of our children in public schools, and um they're hyper sexualizing our children. | |
| If I told you what Illinois public schools are putting in front of six-year-olds with graphic pictures, you would be fine for indecency on the radio, and this has got to stop all silver. | |
| Yeah, I agree, and I think the Congress, you know, there there's a small margin of a majority for the Republicans and Mark, when I went to Washington and I did a town hall with the with the Republicans in the House. | |
| Uh I I asked everybody at the in the room if they understood that you're not gonna get everything that you want and that you're gonna succeed or fail together. | |
| And so far they seem to be rallying around the president's agenda. | |
| I don't know if we're gonna over time see some attrition. | |
| I hope not. | |
| I hope people understand that this moment is gonna call for unity. | |
| Uh do you see Republicans uniting behind the president's agenda? | |
| Well, I do, Sean, and and I was there at your town hall and and appreciated so much you being there because I think everybody senses that we have we're finding ourselves at a special moment in history. | |
| I mean, things we've talked about for decades, we are seeing shrinking the size of government. | |
| Uh and and really everybody has been willing to work together. | |
| I mean, when you look at the accomplishment, it took away, and and that was the most beautiful part of it. | |
| It took away the narrative that the left was ready to run with and that Republicans could not govern, that we couldn't work together, that somehow we were going to splinter all over the place. | |
| And yet here in just these early weeks, we have the budget resolution that folks hung together and we were able to pass, and then the CR that that we were able to pass. | |
| And the president is the one with his agenda set forth, working with the leadership, working with Congress. | |
| We've been able to hold it together, and um again, every step is as another step that we take, and reconciliation is going to be a big opportunity to really put pencil to paper and begin to shrink this size of this government. | |
| And so far, it has been demonstrating a unity that that we desperately needed, and I I hope and pray that we're gonna be able to hold together because we're going to need it. | |
| The opportunity is too great to miss this. | |
| I agree with you, and and I'm sure there are going to be things that are done that I'm not gonna particularly love, and I understand I'm not gonna get everything I want, but I I don't live in the Washington swamp, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere near where you guys live. | |
| Uh Congressman Rooley, I mean, do you think this coalition holds together? | |
| I mean, you got a a very, you know, disparate group of people there, and and everyone's got their little agenda, and well, this impacts my district, and this impacts my district, and and there's not gonna be everything in there that everybody likes. | |
| Well, I I I think we are gonna hold together, and I think this is how it's gonna happen. | |
| I think, you know, the president gave the gift uh to the House of Representatives when he said one great big beautiful bill. | |
| Uh, you know, in all due respect to uh, you know, Senator Graham, we we would never pass two smaller bills through the House. | |
| And I think when he did that, that gave uh a free reign for uh Tom Emmer and his gang to go through the different members and Speaker Johnson's been and Steve Scalise have been all available. | |
| They've reached out to every member of our conference. | |
| They want to know what your poison pill is. | |
| Do you have a red line? | |
| How can we get uh and work around that? | |
| What how far can you bend for the benefit of the order of uh of the grand old party? | |
| And and and I think, you know, from the president to Scalise to to uh definitely the the Speaker Johnson and even Tom, it's just been an amazing group of conversations that have been going on for I I think the other members would tell you at least five or six weeks. | |
| I'm approached at least two or three times a week. | |
| What are you seeing? | |
| What are you concerned about? | |
| That's the kind of rhetoric, that's the kind of family uh being united Around one cause for President Trump's agenda because we all know if we don't get this through, we'll lose the gavel. | |
| And if we lose the gavel, the whole cause is lost. | |
| So this is probably one of the most crucial points in American history, in my opinion, Sean. | |
| Quick break right back. | |
| We'll continue more with Mark Harris of North Carolina, Representative Mary Miller of Illinois, and Representative Rooley of Ohio. | |
| They all support the President, eliminating the Department of Education. | |
| We'll get to your calls also on the back side of this half hour 800-941 Sean. | |
| If you want to be a part of the program this Friday as we continue. | |
| 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. | |

| 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. | |

| All right, we continue now as the president has dismantled the Department of Education. | |
| We continue with Mark Harris, North Carolina, Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois and Congressman Rooley of Ohio. | |
| Have any of you experienced, and I'll throw it out to all of you, the astroturfing? | |
| We now know Chuck Schumer acknowledged, admitted that they're sending, you know, groups of people to Republican Congress people's town halls for the purpose of disrupting them and creating a false image to make them look bad. | |
| Have any of you had that experience? | |
| No. | |
| Well, they are showing up at my offices to protest, but I'm not going to have a town hall to give them a platform to scream at me and to scream about President Trump and Elon Musk, about all the great things that they that they're doing that they hate. | |
| And I do want to say that one reason I think we're going to unite on the reconciliation bill is because President Trump is such a great, strong leader. | |
| And for the first time in forever, we have a president that cares about the American people. | |
| And I think that Congress is going to unite around his agenda. | |
| I hope everybody stays uh united and understands that these are well organized, funded with talking points for the very purpose of trying to make elected representatives look bad, and then the media runs with it as if it's real, and it's uh it's actually one of those cheap fake videos that weren't cheap fake about uh Joe Biden. | |

| If you want to be a part of the program and the Maha movement continues, and Gillian Michaels is now, well, he's kind of been getting on my case. | |
| I have to make some more changes in my life as it relates to health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, and et cetera. | |
| Straight ahead. | |
| Transcription by CastingWords I see our old friend Gavin Newsom. | |
| He's been out there trying to interview conservatives. | |
| And he's got a podcast. | |
| And he's had on guys like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. | |
| And who else does he had on? | |
| I don't know who else he's out on. | |
| Um, and anyway, interesting. | |
| He hasn't asked me to be on. | |
| Uh, I think if he does ask Linda, should I go or should I knock off? | |
| I mean, you guys are buddies. | |
| I would go. | |
| We're not really buddies. | |
| I mean, I would just make sure, just make sure you call him ahead of time and you ask him what dance routine he'll be doing during the interview. | |
| He's slick, there's no doubt about it. | |
| I don't know that I felt slick. | |
| He looks like he's having some sort of strange reaction to something he ate earlier. | |
| It's really odd. | |
| You can share a bottle of wine from the uh winery that he kept open during COVID. | |
| That's true. | |
| He does have a winery. | |
| And uh maybe he'll be going back to that soon. | |
| I think he I think he aspires to be president. | |
| That's what I believe. | |
| And I think there's no single human being on the face of this earth that wants to be president more than Gavin Newsom. | |
| Now, so he's going on these, he's interviewing these conservatives, and I'll give you an example. | |
| And he told Charlie Kirk that no one in his office ever used the term Latinx. | |
| Is that the word? | |
| I gotta get these things right. | |
| And uh here's what he said. | |
| By the way, not one person ever in my office has ever used the word Latinx. | |
| So can we finally put that to bed? | |
| But what did that even be? | |
| No more Latinx, everybody. | |
| Well, just didn't even know where it came from. | |
| I'm like, what are people talking about? | |
| I don't even know where it came from. | |
| No one in my office has ever used it. | |
| Whoopsie Daisy. | |
| Uh investigative report, believe it or not, out of fake news CNN exposed that he himself has used the term many times. | |
| I hope we can really paint a picture in terms of our consciousness uh of how impactful this has been on the Latinx community, Latinx community, the Latinx and black communities. | |
| Got politicians that are banning not assault rifles, but the word Latinx. | |
| They're not even serious. | |
| Whoopsie Daisy. | |
| I mean, how do you not he made these comments in the last two, three years? | |
| Did he not remember that he made them? | |
| Then he questioned the fairness of transgenders in women's sports and said he's against men and women's sports. | |
| Here's what he said again to Charlie Kirk. | |
| Turns out in 2014, years before I was governor, there was a law established that established the legal principles that allow the uh allow trans athletes in women's sports. | |
| Um, but the issue of fairness is completely legit. | |
| It is an issue of fairness, and I think Democrats Whoopsie Daisy. | |
| All right, let's get to our busy busy telephones as we say hi to Frank in Chicago. | |
| What's up, Frank? | |
| How are you? | |
| Glad you called. | |
| Happy Friday. | |
| Hey, thanks, Sean. | |
| I really enjoy your program. | |
| Um you guys were talking about uh Elon Musk and SpaceX. | |
| What a euphoric, euphoric achievement that was. | |
| And I know quite a bit about the space program, and we've been uh really suppressing it since the shuttle went away a long time ago. | |
| We really weren't prepared to move to the next step and have to depend on the Russians. | |
| Elon Musk has single handedly saved the American manned space flight program. | |
| Well, I will tell you the beauty of it is it's been so successful. | |
| And you know, it's amazing when when Elon tests a a new uh an a newly engineered rocket, and usually when you test, you know, something is as with that type of sophisticated engineering, you're gonna have some failures. | |
| NASA has had their fair share of them. | |
| And even if it's an unmanned flight, like had recently happened, and a new rocket was testing out, they're testing it out for a reason to see if what they have created on paper actually works in reality, and they do it for the purpose of finding out where weaknesses may exist. | |
| And and yet the left in this country celebrated it. | |
| Um every aspect, and this is what amazing thing about this week is you know, we see all these Tesla dealerships, they have bullets being fired into them. | |
| You see Tesla lots being, you know, all their cars being burned, threats against Elon's life, uh, charging stations set ablaze, etc. | |
| All this guy has done is expose waste, fraud, and abuse. | |
| This week he rescued astronauts, and every aspect of that mission was dangerous from the launch to the the rocket that he engineered to successfully land back on Earth in the exact spot it was designed to land at, | |
| uh, to then docking at the at the International Space Station, undocking, making this the the flight home, the 17-hour flight home, you know, with speeds of 17,000 miles per hour at times, uh, and then re-entering orbit with the temperatures at 3500 uh 3500 degrees, | |
| uh, and then launching the parachutes and making sure the thermal coating was could withstand that level of heat, and all of it was done successfully, and he rescued those astronauts, and the thanks he gets is you know, an effort to take down his business and hurt his employees and hurt him personally and threats on his life and threats on his employees' lives. | |
| Uh that's that's really sick. | |
| That is really, really ugly. | |
| It is you know what what I said last night on TV, and I think it's right, it's like, you know, if you had listened to liberals prior to this election, the biggest existential threat to America was was not China, not Iran, not not Vladimir Putin, not North Korea, not nuclear warfare or nuclear proliferation. | |
| It was climate change. | |
| Well, they used to love Tesla products until he aligned himself with Donald Trump, and because he has a different political viewpoint, now they're trying to destroy him, and in the process they will hurt all of the people that work in his dealerships, all the people that assemble his cars, all the people that repair his cars, all the people involved in that process. | |
| And that's why we have on this program our Tesla giveaway. | |
| And Linda, you want to tell everybody about it? | |
| What's today's word of the day? | |
| Just to remind people. | |
| So today's word of the day is Trump, and just for everybody's information, the Friday word hangs through the weekend. | |
| So you have all weekend to use the word Trump, you can enter once a day, and then we're going to announce the winner uh probably about a week or so after the final day of the contest, which is on April. | |
| Well, hang on a second. | |
| Does that mean if you go to Hannity.com now and you click on the Tesla contest icon and it brings you to the contest homepage, and you you have to give us a way to contact you, email, whatever, however, we do that. | |
| I don't know. | |
| I haven't I it's a good idea. | |
| First and last name, your birthday to make sure you're over 18 to participate in the contest, and then you supply your number and your email. | |
| Okay, not a big deal, right? | |
| And then uh we will not have any say in picking the winner, just for the record. | |
| Are you saying that if somebody goes there today uses the keyword Trump, can they go back tomorrow and use the keyword Trump and register on Saturday and then register again on Sunday? | |
| That's right, because you don't have a radio show on Saturday and Sunday. | |
| So you can register all three days, and that'll give you three more chances to win. | |
| That's right with the word Trump. | |
| Okay, with the with the with today's word of the day will be today, tomorrow, and Sunday's word of the day, which is Trump. | |
| And then on Monday we'll have a new word of the day. | |
| And then we do this all the way till April the 11th. | |
| And then iHeart Media, our our radio partners will pick the winner, not Sean Hands. | |
| Every day the word changes at 2 59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, and it gets 24 hours in rotation, and then we switch to the next word. | |
| Five days a week. | |
| And let me be very clear too. | |
| I have no access to any of the information at all. | |
| I don't even have access to my own ex account because Linda won't give it to me. | |
| Which is really a big mock box for your protection, honestly. | |
| It's not for my protection. | |
| Why? | |
| Because you're afraid I'm going to get in a fight with that jackass Jimmy Kimmel or that other jackass Alec Baldwin. | |
| Did I really? | |
| I don't even remember. | |
| Clearly, the two of you have trouble sleeping, because your conversations at two in the morning were a lot. | |
| Fake no, he doesn't like that I call him fake news acosta. | |
| I don't think he liked that. | |
| Well, what Jimmy Kimmel did this week was was disgusting. | |
| And no word. | |
| And by the way, why don't you call over to the PR department at Disney and say, do they have any comments about what Jimmy Kimmel said about Tesla this week? | |
| So we can air them. | |
| Would you mind making that call? | |
| I don't mind. | |
| Do you want me to put it in writing? | |
| Yeah, that would be a good idea. | |
| You know, you can call and write. | |
| And see I will do both. | |
| Sean Hannity would like for his show to have comments from ABC Disney, the all-inclusive DEI obsessed, woke Disney Bob Iger run uh corporation, uh, whether or not they support the comments of Jimmy Kimmel. | |
| And maybe while you're at it, you might want to ask him about him dressing in blackface. | |
| Why did they hire him in the first place? | |
| And then maybe you might want to ask him about Yeah, and you can ask him also about you know him putting items in his pants in his crotch and asking women and giving them 10 seconds to use both hands to feel and guess what's in his pants. | |
| Yeah, kind of a little perverted, don't you think? | |
| Um all right. | |
| Well, anyway, back to our phones. | |
| Gary, my free state of Florida. | |
| Gary, how are you? | |
| Hey, thanks, Sean. | |
| The Elon Musk interview, and I'm glad I waited with the occurrences that have happened and the arrests that have been made. | |
| But um I think the last uh 15 seconds, 20 seconds of the interview, uh I actually seen the anguish come out of Elon. | |
| I mean, he's seen what they've done to Donald Trump, and he is blown away, like he said in your interview on how far the hate went and uh the the anger, the uh violence, and then he hit you got it out of them at the end when he hit on that. | |
| He said when you threaten people's uh uh the fact that the the graft and the grift and the fraud and uh you expose them, and he goes, uh he was just blown away by how dangerous they become. | |
| And on the prosecution of it, which I really wanted to talk about just for ten seconds, they have to treat these people just as vigorously as they did the J6 people, all the electronic devices, search warrant, find out who's gonna represent them in court, and no deals should be made on running sentences concurrent. | |
| I'm praying that when you speak to people that they can run consecutive sentences when they are convicted. | |
| And uh that's pretty much it. | |
| Yeah, well, I will tell you it is domestic terrorism. | |
| I'm very grateful that we have an attorney general and an FBI director that are going all in to protect uh these dealerships, these workers, this company, and Elon himself. | |
| I could only imagine the the the amount of security that is now needed. | |
| I read today and I had a broken heart over it. | |
| It's sad that they now have to hire security at every single Tesla dealership. | |
| Every one. | |
| There was a post on X. I mentioned this earlier by a woman who claims a female Tesla driver was forced off the road by an anti-Tesla terrorist. | |
| It's unreal. | |
| And it's it's it's just sad. | |
| I mean, but this is the left. | |
| These are the people that were obsessed with January 6th. | |

| This is life-changing. | |
| I mean, you can hop in a Tesla and you can go to the store, you can go to church, you can go to friends, and that's independent. | |
| And this man has given us this tremendous gift. | |
| And I'm I'm just upset about how these evil people are trying to do away with this businesses. | |
