If you want to be a part of the program, I am finding it quite amusing to watch the left meltdown over Trump eliminating the Department of Education.
And we're going to have some congressmen and women on in the next hour talking about this.
So I don't want to spend or devote the whole hour to it.
But this is the president yesterday announcing he's eliminating the Department of Education.
And it is, just think of it this way.
And I don't, I have a hard time understanding why people on the left, why did they want to cling on to something that is failing spectacularly?
I really have a hard time understanding it.
Just like, why did Democrats want to call it a constitutional crisis when we discover hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption?
This is all your money.
These are our children that are being, that are, that we're failing on a spectacular level.
And anyway, so here's the president's announcement.
Then we'll get to the left's meltdown.
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 everybody knows it's right.
And we have to get our children educated.
We're not doing well with the world of education in this country.
And we haven't for a long time.
And we're pleased to be joined today by the woman who I chose because she's an extraordinary person.
And hopefully she will be our last Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon.
Linda.
Linda McMahon.
Now, Randy Weingarten, you know, has never been this emotional that I've ever heard her talking about the Department of Education.
We spend more money than any other industrialized country with the worst results, usually depending on the year, coming in somewhere in terms of reading proficiency around 36, 7, 8%.
And in math, about 40%.
We come in 40th place.
And we spend more than any other country.
That is systemic institutionalized failure.
When is Randy Weingarten, who gets paid a good amount of money and of course has a lot of power, yields a lot of power because the teachers' union is in bed with the Democratic Party and the Teachers' Union donates a fortune every election cycle to Democrats to help them get elected.
And where was she getting emotional about the institutional failure of your children?
Why didn't she get so emotional about this?
About the failure of our kids being left behind and abandoned.
Anyway, here's her getting emotional about the Department of Education and then spreading the pay billionaire lie.
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, I'm really angry about this.
No, because this is really angry.
I'm really angry that you have failed and your teachers have failed the children in this country.
That's what I'm angry about.
Let me go back to Joe Clark.
We played the longer side of this yesterday.
I'm going to play a shorter one today.
And I think Morgan Freeman's one of the best doctors out there.
He's phenomenal.
And his versatility is almost second to none.
And he's just a great actor.
And he's got a great set of pipes.
He's got a great voice.
And Morgan Freeman played the role of Joe Clark.
Joe Clark is a real life story.
He was a principal at Eastside High in New Jersey, and the school was failing and failing miserably.
And he walked into that school and he had a bullhorn and he had a baseball bat.
And people couldn't believe that he was going to fight to turn that school around and clean up the halls and paint them up and get it looking like a school and kick out the drug dealers, the gang members, the thugs and people that were disrupting the opportunity to learn of the other students.
And he did all of it.
And his goal was to get these kids to pass the state exam in terms of proficiency in these basic topics.
And an hour before that test, he calls the school into the auditorium and he talks to the students.
And this is part of what he said.
I had an opportunity numerous times to interview Joe Clark.
Really loved the guy.
And he was hated for a long time by parents.
For whatever reason, I don't know.
I don't know.
Teachers' unions didn't love him either.
Teachers didn't love him either because he was demanding that they do a better job, insisting they do a better job.
This is from the movie Lean on Me.
If you do not have these basic skills, you will find yourselves locked out.
Locked out of that American dream that you see advertised on TV that they tell you was so easy to get.
You are here for one reason.
One reason only.
To learn.
To work for what you want.
The alternative is to waste your time and to fall into the trap of crime, drugs, and death.
And that's exactly what the options are.
When you really think about it, you don't have an education in this country.
That's the end result for most people, isn't it?
Dead-end jobs, dead-end life, no shot at the American dream.
You give kids an education.
You help them find what they were born to do with their life, and there's no telling what they can achieve in their life and the happiness that they will have fulfilling whatever destiny God gave them.
And I believe God put talent in every individual, you know, to bring forth from within the Latin derivative of education.
It's that's predicated on this notion.
It is already there.
And any educational system.
Now, the left clings to government.
They cling to institutionalism.
They cling to even that which is failing.
And this really is this reflexive action and reaction of the left is so predictable.
Why are they defending the indefensible all the time?
Why are they defending and claiming we're living through a constitutional crisis because we're finding and eliminating waste, fraud, abuse, and corruption?
Why are you defending a system that spends more money per capita per child on education, and we have the worst results of any country in the industrialized world?
Why do people, why have we been indoctrinated to look to the government to be the answer to our problems in life?
Ask yourself, what does the government do that warrants such confidence in people?
We were on the precipice of this Democratic Party, had they won the last election of trying to implement their radical Green New Deal.
What was the Green New Deal about?
It had nothing to do with climate, except that they'd force an EV into your driveway, whether you wanted one or not.
I happen to be pro-choice on vehicles.
You should get whatever vehicle you want, which now I'm getting a Tesla, and I'm giving away a Tesla.
And by the way, if you want to win a Tesla, I'm buying it, and I'm going to give it to one lucky listener.
And I hope you'll go to Hannity.com and sign up.
I love giving free stuff away.
I don't know why.
It's a really cool thing to do.
I think we should do more of it.
But I'm going to give away a Tesla.
And every day between now and April 11th, once a day, you can register.
And you can register right now.
You can just go to Hannity.com or remember when you go home, it's simple, Hannity.com.
You click on the Tesla contest.
The word of the day today is Trump.
And you just put the word of the day in and a little bit of information so we can contact you if you're the winner.
And you can also register tomorrow.
It'll be the same word of the day today, tomorrow, and Sunday, Trump.
And you can get three more chances to win.
And I hope you'll consider doing it each day because it makes me happy to be able to give somebody the Tesla of their choice while also defending a company.
Has the government done a good job for the VA?
You know, how is law and order and safety and security in your blue state, in your blue town?
Because those that have adopted defund, dismantled, no bail laws, crime has only gone through the roof.
How good a job has the government done protecting our country from known terrorists, cartel members, murderers, rapists, gang members, and cartel members?
We haven't done a good job.
Why do people have this faith in their government?
I don't know.
How'd that Obamacare thing work out for people?
Because the promise was you're going to keep your doctor, keep your plan, and the average family will save $2,500 per year per family.
It ended up being millions of Americans lost their doctors, millions lost their plans, and on average we're paying 250 to 300% more for our premiums, for inferior care.
And over 40% of the country has one Obama care exchange option.
That didn't work out too well.
And we've got to rethink how we do things.
And we've got to look at things anew.
And we've got to start thinking out of the box.
I used an example on this program yesterday: $36,000 a year per student.
Are you kidding me?
On education?
You know, let me just, you know, let me go to my little calculator here.
Okay, so you go $36,000 times 10 equals $360,000.
I should have been able to figure that out of my head, right, Linda?
Okay, $360,000.
Now, let's say a school district in New York, if they're going to continue to spend that amount of money, and that means, I guess, $36,000, you know, that's $36,000 per student.
Let's say the school district offered parents $36,000 to make the educational choice that they wanted.
Let's say parents decide to pool together.
10 parents have kids the same age, same grade, and they want to spend their money together.
That gives them $360,000 a year.
They can hire two teachers at $150,000 a year in salary and $30,000 a year in benefits for health care and maybe whatever, retirement plan.
And that would be one teacher for every five kids.
Now, tell me, which system do you think is going to work better?
Now, we can also learn from states like Utah.
They spend less than $10,000 a year per student on education, and they have far better results than states like New York.
When you break it down and you examine, you know, there is no correlation at all in terms of the money spent per pupil and the average scores by state.
The states with the highest pupil spending are New York, D.C., New Jersey, Vermont, Connecticut.
And then you look at the lowest spending states, Utah, Idaho, under $10,000.
Arizona, $10,000, $315.
Oklahoma, $10,000, $890.
Mississippi, $10,000, $984.
And fourth grade students, for example, in Utah score much higher on average than those in New York, where they spend $36,000 per student per year.
Idaho, the state with the second lowest spending, was behind nine other states and districts that perform significantly better on fourth-grade math, that they do significantly better.
And, you know, every big city is failing.
Los Angeles, failing.
Atlanta, failing spectacularly.
Only 36% of students read at the third grade level.
Only 30% of students are proficient in math at grade level.
Detroit, it's even worse.
16% of students, Detroit public schools, tested or proficient in English.
16%, only 10.5% of students proficient in math.
It's even worse in Baltimore.
We have 20 some-odd schools that don't have a single child that is proficient in either math or reading.
Not a single kid.
You can't fail any more than this.
And you're upset that the system is being shaken up and that we're going to go deep hard in the paint and try and give a better education to our kids.
And know this.
The people that have been negatively impacted the most are people in blue states, predominantly minority neighborhoods, have been the most negatively impacted by this failed institution called the Department of Education and this unholy alliance between teachers unions and the Democratic Party.
We have failed these kids.
And if we want to help them, they better get they have to do it for their sake.
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.

I'm 25 now to the top of the hour, 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, Linda, I'm having a problem with sweet baby James.
So it's been about pick on him.
He knows.
It's not nice.
I don't, you want to be on his side, or you want to be on the side of truth and his health.
So Uncle James is Mr. Yo-Yo diet.
Okay, he loses weight and then he gains it all back.
And then he justifies it and rationalizes it by saying, well, I had so much fun gaining it back.
And then he goes through the pain.
Why are you laughing?
This is not funny.
So finally, I said, I put my foot down.
I said, okay, you're going, I am going to cook every meal for you every day.
And this is going to be what you eat.
And you can't cheat.
Here's the problem, Linda.
He cheats.
He cheats.
One day, one day I see I had recently gotten a big jar of, I like Italian olives.
I don't eat many of them.
I'll have one or two occasionally.
And I got a new bottle of olives.
And I go down one day and I just got it on Sunday.
By Wednesday, there were two olives left.
Two in the whole thing.
Are you paying attention?
I am.
Okay.
Now, I told, so he's been on my diet for 10 days.
You have lost 10 pounds.
He's lost 10 pounds in 10 days.
My diet was.
Is that including the space of time where he ate the olives?
No, but no.
The one day he didn't lose weight and he gained a pound back has been, and I caught him cheating.
And then when you catch him, when I asked him about the olives, he said, no, I didn't eat them today.
And I'm like, first of all, if the worst thing the man is eating from eating olives.
Can we just be ate the whole jar in a day and a half?
Broke in jar.
If you want to eat something and not gain weight, I'm going to tell you the God's honest truth.
I will take a can of black olives and I will crush them.
They're not black olives.
They're the green olives.
They're whole olives.
But the point is, you're not supposed to have as much oil in the house.
How many calories is the job?
How many calories do you want?
Forget that.
Oh, forget it.
Me his word that he's going to stick to the diet.
And then when I questioned him about his cheating, which I caught him red-handed doing, he lied about it.
I know.
And I don't like the fact that he eats who?
Who?
Yeah.
Is there a mirror nearby, or do you not keep those in the studio?
That sounds like you cheat in a relationship, and that's not being.
Oh, God, we're talking about olives.
There's no co-birds here.
You mean I cheat on the food that I eat?
Correct.
You and I. Give me an example.
We have all been on the road recently.
Oh, no, no, no.
When we're on the road, the rules of the road are different.
Well, then technically, James is on the road because he used to live in Long Island until he moved into Florida.
No, it's technically he's on the food.
No, he's a full-time resident in the Florida.
Poor James.
It's just like an echo.
But here's the problem.
When I confront him overeating the olives, he goes, no, I didn't eat them.
I didn't eat them today.
I didn't eat them today.
And meaning he ate them the two days prior because they'd only been there three days.
He ate the whole friggin bottle.
And here's the other thing.
Then he eats saltine crackers, which I didn't even know I had in my house.
That's delicious.
And, okay, it's not part of the diet.
My diet is meat, eggs, and fish, period.
And I make him the food.
I go through the effort.
I cook for him every single day.
Do you like my cooking?
It's very good.
I make him.
But sometimes you're not a cracker, Sean.
Linda, what is wrong with you?
I like crackers.
Actually, James and I have a very similar diet because I eat olives.
You know, I have crackers.
All right, I'm not talking to you.
You know what?
You're out of this.
You're not talking about it.
You're not even letting James talk.
James doesn't even get an opportunity.
You know, you live your whole life.
All right, James, come on right now.
Why not enjoy a little bit of a break?
I want to ask him a question to start this off.
Yes or no?
Did you cheat numerous times since I've been in the house?
That's a loaded question.
How about yes or no, James?
Are you very hungry on my diet?
Numerous is kind of like overdoing it.
In 10 days, you've cheated once or twice.
Is it once or is it twice?
One of those.
It's one of those.
Is it once or twice?
How often do you cheat?
This feels like the film conversation.
So it may be more than twice.
Do you think it's three times?
No.
Is it possible it's three times?
Yes.
Is it possible it's four times?
No.
No.
Listen, you can't blame him for not remembering.
You're starving him.
He has memories.
He's so hungry.
I'm feeding him protein.
It is a keto-friendly, specific diet.
James, you can't agree with him.
I can't help you with him.
It works.
He lost 10 pounds in a week and a half.
You're welcome.
I'm going to tell you.
Everything in moderation.
You guys have to enjoy this.
Oh, stop this moderation.
Yeah, just a little bit of heroin and moderation.
We're fine.
No problem.
A little bit of fentanyl and moderation.
Holy smokes.
We went.
That is drug use.
Should I get you a box of needles?
What is happening?
You said anything in moderation is fine.
People say that all the time.
Food.
Food in moderation.
Well, the problem is, you know, most people are food addicts.
Let's be honest about it.
I'm not a food addict.
No, my problem is, you know, now I'm moving on to the nicotine patches.
That's my problem.
I have to have, you know, I just, I need the lift of the show.
Anyway, I want to remind you, if you need to defend yourself, your first option, get the hell out of there if you can.
If you can't, before you go to the lethal option, there is the less lethal launcher called Burner.
This technology is so phenomenal.
It's now trusted by over 500 government agencies, police departments, private security firms.
It's legal in all 50 states.
No permit, no background check needed.
It is my go-to of choice.
You can hit a target 50 feet away easily.
You can incapacitate any perpetrator.
And up to 30 or 40 minutes, look at the videos when you go to byrna.com slash Hannity, burner.com slash Hannity.
And I will tell you, it is phenomenal technology.
Brett from the Burner Owners Group on Facebook posted a story about the one time he forgot to pack his burner.
He's walking his dog.
And the one time that he didn't have his burner, he was attacked by an unleashed dog.
You know, he left bloodied.
His dog left bloodied, and he learned a lesson.
Never leave home without your burner.
He's right.
Anyway, you'll love this technology, and it is unbelievable.
It can save your life in the end.
And it's a non-lethal option.
And if you have to use lethal force in the end, then, okay, that's the choice of last resort.
Anyway, byrna.com slash Hannity today.
Doug Bergham, the Interior Secretary, has now opened 20 million acres in Alaska for oil and gas development, which is great, great news.
And he also chairs the National Energy Dominance Council, and it rescinds all regulations, orders, guidance, documents, policies, any other similar agency actions promulgated, issued, or adopted between January 20th, 2021, and January 20th, 2025, essentially erasing dozens of actions related to Alaska by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, announced that the illegal immigrant who fled the U.S. after killing a 20-year-old American woman will be brought back to face justice.
An angel mom, his bail was less than what it cost to bury my baby.
That's what the mother said.
President Trump has secured the extradition of this illegal alien accused of killing a 21-year-old in Nebraska.
Her name is Sarah Root.
On January 31st, 2016, the night that she graduated from college, she had a 4.0 GPA.
And now Secretary of State Rubio announced that the illegal from Honduras will be extradited to the U.S. to face justice once and for all.
Good news there.
We've got Bernie Sanders and AOC.
The dynamic duo that that is.
Anyway, they've teamed up to move the Democratic Party even further to the left.
Anyway, a day after Bernie told the New York Times that it was time for progressives to abandon the Democratic Party.
Anyway, the Vermont Socialists teamed up with radical squad leader AOC for a barnstorming tour across America.
Anyway, they embarked on this multi-state tour in what appears to be the most recent organized effort to unify the Democratic Party.
They are the leaders of the Democratic Party.
This is why Chuck Schumer's in a fight for his life.
AOC now considering a challenge to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer for having supplied enough Senate Democratic votes for the passage of the StopGap spending bill.
The tour is part of Sanders' Fight Oligarchy.
What's next tour, in which the senator is arguing that the U.S. is headed towards an oligarchy?
By the way, we have more evidence.
Let me play, what's the congresswoman that replaced Liz Cheney?
Oh, Hageman, right?
Congresswoman Hagerman?
Yeah.
Harriet Hagman.
Okay.
She was heckled at a town hall.
Now, we know this is astroturfing.
We know this is organized.
We know because Chuck Schumer telegraphed it, but listen to what she went through.
And also, Doge will be going through their budget.
And what we did with that money is we specified how it is to be spent.
That's why we're talking about raises specifically for the enlisted men and women, as an example.
But that is our job.
That is my job.
That is our job.
That's what we did.
That's what we did.
That was our step.
That's it, we did.
So, next question, right?
All right, so now this is happening around the country.
You know, on talk radio, Rush used to call them seminar callers.
They call in with their talking points written out by various groups.
There's a lot of funding usually behind these organizations.
And now, Democrats are showing up at Republican town halls for the purpose of creating a false impression that their constituents are against them.
Chuck Schumer even admitted that they're sending protesters to House Republican town halls.
Listen: We have people going to the Republican districts and going after these Republicans who are voting for this and forcing them to either change their vote or face the consequences.
This is a long, relentless fight that we fight every day.
We did put 235 judges, progressive judges, judges not under the control of Trump last year on the bench, and they are ruling against Trump time after time after time.
Yeah, okay, so you see what they're doing.
They're trying to use the courts, they're astroturfing, they're calling talk radio shows, seminar callers.
We can identify them very easily.
We'll start calling them out if they get through, and we'll have some fun with them.
Now, I would tell people to go see AOC and Bernie Sanders, but I'm not going to play that game that they play because all that's going to do is create a volatile situation where all their crazy supporters are going to be there.
And, you know, you create an environment where literally they, you know, you're creating a fight-like environment, and that's what they're doing.
And they're trying to create as much chaos as they can.
It was an organizing call with actors and Democrat.
I didn't know that John Cusack was such a dope.
Let's listen to that.
Let's tag.
So I just want to say thanks to everyone.
He's been out in the street.
Thanks to everyone who's going to be coming out in the street.
It's just getting started.
Thank you.
On March 29th, it's my birthday.
And all I want to see happen on my birthday is for Elon to be taken down.
Yes.
On March 29th, I want you to raise your voices all over the world.
And I want you to be heard, heard in such a way that no matter how much they try to ignore you, they just can't.
Musk is kind of this arch villain of late-stage capitalism, and he seems like this clown and this buffoon.
But like Alex said, you know, this is a man who made a sinkhole Nazi salute, not only in public, but at a presidential victory party.
Musk is a pathological liar.
He's a criminal.
He's a sociopath and a ghoul.
And I mean those terms very precisely.
Wow.
Pretty amazing.
Jasmine Crockett was the one I want for my birthday.
I want Elon taken down.
It sounds like a threat to me.
You have Adam Schiff, who just got his pardon recently.
And he was on, I guess, that idiot Jimmy Kimmel.
And by the way, is anybody going to contact Bob Iger about Kimmel's comments about Elon Musk and the acts of domestic terrorism that have been happening around the country that he thought, I guess, was so funny?
Because Adam Schiff goes on with Kimmel and says, Elon Musk is now erratic and evil, not so genius.
Jamal Bowman, Elon Musk is a thief and a Nazi.
And all these Democrats are just out there attacking, attacking, and tacking Elon Musk.
I'm going to tell you something.
I'm going to hold these people will be held accountable if somebody ends up getting killed here.
Now they're doxing, you know, Tesla owners, which is unbelievable.
And nobody seems to care on the left.
All the people that cared so much about January 6th, January 6th, they were the ones justifying the violence in the summer of 2020.
574 rights.
No, they're mostly peaceful.
No, they weren't.
They're the ones that voted for the vice presidential candidate at the time that said they're not going to stop rioting, shouldn't stop writing, and we're not going to stop supporting them.
By the way, President Trump is moving to close 110 IRS offices around the country.
Days after meeting with Trump, UFC champion Conor McGregor has entered the race for the Irish presidency.
First person I'd want to get a reaction from is Rosie O'Donnell.
President Trump is weighing sanctions against foreign funders of the pro-Hamas campus riots.
If you're one of the people that are involved in this and you're funding it, you're funding people that are committing acts of domestic terrorism.
Let's see what Cash Fatell and Pam Bondi have to say about all of this.
NBC News is reporting the Bidens want back in.
Asked if he thought that Biden could happen, President Trump replied, I hope so.
Anyway, former President Biden is telling Democratic leaders that he'll raise funds, campaign, do anything necessary to help the Democrats recover the lost ground of the Trump administration.
A former squad member's husband has been indicted for wire fraud.
Corey Bush's husband charged on Thursday with defrauding the federal government to illegally collect tens of thousands of dollars in loans under COVID-era small business relief programs.
Whoopsie-daisy.
Anyway, we got a lot more news coming up.
800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, will be joined by a number of congresspeople that are supporting Donald Trump's effort to dismantle the Department of Education.
It's been nearly 18 months of nonstop war against radical Islamists.
Israel, they are fighting valiantly, but so many Israelis have been displaced, tens and tens of thousands of them.
The humanitarian need is great.
And now that the fighting has been heating up again, Israel has got to be prepared for attacks from every direction.
