Um Linda, what did I say when we were in the swamp yesterday?
And what we did last night on Hannity was very, very important.
The timing was very, very critical because if Republicans, we've only had four chances in a hundred years who are Republicans have had the White House, the House, and the Senate.
And this reconciliation bill that I've been talking a lot about, I know it's it's somewhat uh how do I say this?
It is it is so swampy in in nature that most people don't want to even hear it, and I have to explain it because it's so complicated and it's so significant.
Otherwise, we're stuck with the Biden Harris economy.
And we have no chance to fix it because you're never gonna get a single Democrat to go along with President Trump's economic priorities, his priorities on securing the border, his priorities on energy dominance, his priority on doge, his prior priorities on the next generation of weaponry.
Uh, and if they don't get this done too, we risk a four trillion dollar tax increase because the Trump tax cuts expire, and through reconciliation with its, you know, arcane, you know, archaic, you know, rules for the U.S. Senate makes it very complicated because it's a way to bypass the 60 vote uh uh margin that's needed for cloture to have a vote, and it's it's the one way you can thread a needle and get stuff done.
That's how the inflation reduction act got passed and shoved down our throats.
That's how that's how Obamacare got shoved down our throat.
And and we we now have to use this process.
Now it makes it complicated because then the Senate's involved.
Anyway, so this is a very important time.
Linda, what did I say yesterday when everybody was panicking as a result of the stock market?
Now, yesterday, for a big part of the day, up until like maybe the last hour, hour and a half, the stock market had been on the positive range.
Right now it's up about 2500 points today, and I'll explain why in a second.
What did I say would happen?
How did I tell you that this is gonna end?
You said that Trump is a very smart businessman and that we should pay attention.
You've known him a very long time, and that there was gonna be big news today because things were gonna start happening and we're going to pivot.
And that's exactly what happened.
You also said that you had to get all these senators on board because we can't afford to not support the president.
Okay.
One of the reasons we were in DC yesterday, and um I spent a lot of time doing a lot of things that I'm not gonna talk about on the air.
Now, did I know this because the president told me this?
No, he never told me.
Never.
I just know him and have known him long enough to know how he works.
What am I talking about if you've been busy all day and and you're just getting caught up on the news, which by the way, if you're busy working all day, that means you're a great American and you're serving your community, you're saying serving your country in some capacity, and you're providing for your family.
And I know as my some of my closest friends, I don't know my whole life does it revolve around your four hours a day.
I try, but my whole life does it revolve around it.
I'm like, gee, thanks a lot.
What kind of friend are you?
Not a good friend.
Um anyway, so Trump puts this out today.
And this is what I knew eventually would happen.
You see, with Donald Trump and the me, and remember the state-run legacy media mob never wants to ever understand Donald Trump.
They are obsessed with hating Donald Trump.
You know, if the dog bites the beast things, if you're feeling sad, they're still gonna hate Trump and blame Trump.
If he cured cancer, they would still hate Trump.
These idiots on that hard-hitting ABC Disney show, The View, where they have that idiot, you know, dressed up in blackface in the past, and a guy that puts cucumbers in his or whatever in his pants and has women touching it with both hands and feeling it, Jimmy Kimmel.
By the way, Bob Iger, do you approve that?
What's that, Linda?
Okay, they can get over that.
And, you know, they've got the dumbest idiots.
No wonder why this network is is just going down the tubes.
And, you know, it's does Bob Iger approve that message?
You know, these idiot geniuses.
There's a story out today, which I found very interesting before I get to the view, is that the ladies of the view had not had a single conservative, not one.
No wonder why they're asking me to be on.
I mean, I guess they would maybe they're just desperate.
I'm not sure.
But anyway, these they didn't have a single, let's see.
Not a I'm looking for my media package here.
Oh, here it is.
The media matters I'm sorry, media matters, media media research, they call it.
Um ABC News made a big deal.
This view invited zero right-leaning guests in the first three months of 2025.
That's pretty funny.
I don't think they can get them.
I mean, they did reach out to me after I said to Stephen A. Smith, they used to invite me on that show.
I don't go, they haven't invited me on in years.
And then I did a poll, and thank goodness I won 5149 when I put up a poll because Linda was pushing me to do the show.
I didn't want to do it.
That is not true.
I wasn't pushing you to do the show.
What I said was pushing me.
What I said was it would be interesting to have a conversation with people and see if there was an ability when the cameras are rolling to have a real conversation.
Of course, I'm not expecting that to actually happen, but it would be nice because you're very good at debate.
You're very calm.
And Joey and Whoopi are losing their marbles no matter.
I mean, you could say, God bless you when they're going to get mad.
So it would have been interesting to see.
The last time it got so out of control with Rosie O'Donnell and me, the poor Barbara Walters, God rest her soul.
Well, I actually liked him, was always very nice to me.
You know, she could not do a thing about it.
Nothing.
Anyway, joyless this morning, I'll play it later in the program saying, Oh, Trump's tariff plan has been to intentionally destroy the country so his billionaire friends can swoop in and buy everything low and he can become a dictator.
This is how nuts they are.
Bob Iger, Mickey Mouse, ABC Disney.
Do you approve this message?
Sonny Houston, countries are not going to be able to depend on a country that every four years could elect a dictator.
These people are nuts.
And it goes all day long on that network.
Nobody watches that network.
I am telling you, I get the ratings every day.
You know that Hannity is on all of television, unless there's like a big sporting event like Monday night.
You know, we're like one in all of television, two, not just cable or three.
The the show Hannah, and by the way, thank you to all of you that watch.
And you've made that possible, not me.
I mean, who would have thought when Fox News went on the air 29 years ago that that those would be these networks would deteriorate to these levels?
Why?
Because they lie.
Then they put idiots like Jimmy Kimmel on in Blackface mocking Carl Malone or you know, in his previous life, you know, putting, you know, strange items in his pants and having unknown women and telling them to come up and touch his crotch, you know, for 10 seconds with both hands and see if they can tell what's in there.
I mean, that's the guy that, you know, Bob Iger, you hire that guy?
Did Mickey Mouse hire that guy?
Who hired that guy?
And his ratings suck, and he's officially on cancellation watch, as is the view.
You know, Harris Faulkner was beating is beating the View on Fox News.
How cool is that?
I love it.
Anyway, a long drawn-out way of saying they don't care about knowing, understanding Donald Trump.
And I knowing him, I had no insider information.
I'm gonna be very, very clear about this.
I said to Linda, well, mark my words, uh, because the country, the the list of countries that were on record reaching out, wanting trade deals, wanting free and fair deals that recognize that we have been ripped off, taken advantage of, totally screwed over, and been abused all these years, and and other presidents have allowed it to happen for 40 or 50 years.
Trump is the only one to take it on, that he's going to create an off ramp, which he did, 2600 on the down now.
He's gonna, and he's going now he has created an environment in which every country knows that he meant what he said.
Every country knows that he's in a position of strength, and if they don't deal with him, it's gonna happen again.
And then because China doubled down on dumb, dumb, and stupid, because they need access to our markets, just like and this is what the president was betting on.
Every country, the EU, you know, all the European nations, Great Britain, uh, India, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and even China in the end, I predict will come around.
They need access to our markets and your money, or else they're screwed.
Their manufacturing starts to tank, their economies start to tank, their workers start rebelling, their their citizens start getting angry.
And Trump bet on American strength to get this deal done, and now he's gonna now he's free to negotiate.
It was as predictable if you know and watch this man as the day is long.
This was not complicated to figure out.
I'd like to tell you I'm a genius.
I'm not.
The reason I didn't tell this publicly is because I wanted it to play out.
I didn't want to get in the way of what was a position of strength that the president was taking.
Again, no insider knowledge here.
Just knowing, observing this guy.
And he sends out this truth post today based on the lack of respect that China has shown to the world markets.
I'm here by raising the tariff charged to China by the United States to 125% effective immediately.
At some point, hopefully in the near future, China will realize that the days of ripping off the USA and other countries is no longer sustainable or acceptable.
Conversely, and based on the fact that more than 75 countries have called representatives of our country of the United States, including the Departments of Commerce, Treasury, the US TR, to negotiate a solution to the subjects being discussed relative to trade,
trade barriers, tariffs, currency manipulation, non-monetary tariffs, and that these countries have not, at my strong suggest suggestion, retaliated in any way, shape, manner, or form against the United States.
I have authorized a 90-day pause and a substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during this period of 10%, also effective immediately.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Let the negotiations begin.
This is what American strength is all about.
Why we have allowed our country to be a sucker nation.
Why we have been allowed ourselves to be abused by friend and foe alike.
Why they have taken advantage of us and we've allowed it is unconscionable.
You know, why why are we allowing other countries that desperately depend on us for their national security to turn around and then stab us in the back with these high tariffs?
Example, EU, you know, all these countries, 10% tariffs on American auto manufacturers.
Okay, then you add the value-added tax, like Germany and other countries have.
And okay, so that's 30% above sticker price.
No wonder why we sell no cars in Germany.
But they sell, you know, 10 cars to our one car.
You know, they sell their cars in the U.S. because we only have a two and a half percent tariff on them.
Okay, that's gotta end.
There's gotta be either free and fair trade.
There's gotta be also, if not, you're gonna choose reciprocal tariffs.
The choice will be yours.
But there are other issues that need to be dealt with as well.
You know, Uh when you talk about tariffs of VAT tax, a value added tax, a national sales tax, that is a tariff.
That makes it that much harder to sell an American car because you're adding 20% to the sticker price.
We're not doing that to them.
And these countries are guilty of currency manipulation, non-mom-monetary tariffs, as I said, and that these countries, you know, were smart enough not to get into a fight or pick a fight with Trump.
And I agree with Kevin O'Leary.
The hell with China.
If China wants this fight, great.
He said clobber them with a 400% uh tariff.
It's time to squeeze, you know, uh Chinese heads into the wall now.
He's not wrong.
Heritage Foundation released a study over the weekend revealed China's shipbuilders were able to produce over a thousand commercial military vessels last year.
American shipbuilders build ten ships.
Let me tell you something.
You know, all the critics of President Trump and his tariffs.
How much longer are you gonna take being abused and taken advantage of and being ripped off without being willing to take a little bit of pain?
And I know everybody was freaking out.
I was very aware of it.
I'm very sympathetic towards it because it's people's savings, and they don't know the the eventual outcome.
But I was betting on American strength, and I was betting that the president was right, that they want access to our markets, and it's just the beginning of negotiations.
It was a brilliant strategy on the part of the president and a huge win on his part, and the stock market's nearly up 2700 about 100 points today, 2,700 points today.
It's you know, everybody freaked out over nothing.
And I was saying that at the time.
I didn't want to go too deep in the paint.
I didn't know for sure what he would do, but knowing his brain, he's in a never-ending perpetual state of negotiation.
That's just how he rolls, and he doesn't like America getting ripped off, and neither do I, and neither should anybody.
And the b biggest beneficiary in all this is gonna be American manufacturers, American automakers, American cattle ranchers, American produce and dairy farmers.
Uh they're gonna everyone will benefit.
Working men and women, now the the people that work on Wall Street, they make money when it goes up, they make it when it goes down.
Don't let them fool you.
Hey there.
I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
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.
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.
So Dell, a verdict with Ted Cruz now, wherever you get your podcasts.
What I told people, I was making a podcast about Benghazi.
Nine times out of ten, they called me a masochist, rolled their eyes, or just asked why.
Benghazi, the truth became a web of lies.
It's almost a dirty word.
One that connotes conspiracy theory.
Will we ever get the truth about the Benghazi massacre?
Bad faith, political warfare, and frankly, bullshit.
We kill the ambassador just to cover something up.
You put two and two together.
Was it an overblown distraction or a sinister conspiracy?
Benghazi is a rosetta stone for everything that's been going on for the last 20 years.
I'm Leon Mayfock from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries.
This is Fiasco Benghazi.
What difference at this point does it make?
Yeah, that's right.
Locker up.
Listen to Fiasco Benghazi On the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Now, God forbid if you and your family are in a situation, this is a dangerous world, you feel threatened.
Ideally, you talk your way out of it, you back up, you walk away, you run away, whatever you have to do.
Okay.
Plan B. 25 now till the top of the hour.
800, 941 Sean.
You want to be a part of the program.
Don't forget uh only a few more days.
What is today's date?
The eighth, Linda?
We have today, tomorrow.
Oh, today's the ninth.
So we have today, tomorrow, and Friday.
Yes, people have today, half of the day today.
And let me just tell you, people showed up yesterday.
We were getting crushed yesterday with people entering the contest.
I wish I could bring people behind the scenes of why I went to Washington yesterday.
It's just there's certain things that you know, in my work in my job, and I allude to certain things that I uh I know are public information, but more importantly, this is a very critical time in Washington.
It really is.
And anyway, for these senators to get together, we're gonna play some of it later in the program, and getting this reconciliation bill done is very, very important.
No, you're not gonna get everything you want, in part because of reconciliation, the process itself.
Now, this is April.
We just got to get to October, and then we have the first Trump budget, and they'll be able to go line by line through every department or if it still exists and get to the budget they want.
But this will preserve the tax cuts.
This will bring in uh no tax on tips, overtime social security.
This will also unleash the president's energy dominance program.
This will help Tom Homan and Christy Nome out big time in terms of securing the border, number one, and keeping it secure, and number two, deporting all these people that didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty.
Uh this is this is gonna help you know the Department of Defense and the next generation of weaponry, knowing that the world is a very, very dangerous place, and we we can't we can't stand idly by, you know, with our hands tied behind our back, and it's gonna help doge, you know, weed out waste fraud, abuse, corruption that is gonna continue, whether Elon Musk stays past 130 days or not.
I mean, as a non-government employee, there's there's usually a deadline on that, but there is some ambiguity to it, but we'll see.
If nothing else, he will have set in motion for this process to continue, which I'm very happy about.
And I guess that's why he's hated so much.
But anyway, back to the Tesla contest.
If you go to Hannity.com today, tomorrow, and Friday, your last three days, you can register every day once a day.
Uh, and we'll announce hopefully a winner by next week, and you just have to listen to this radio program, get the word of the day because we were in DC yesterday.
Today's word of the day is swamp.
You go to the Hannity.com, you click on the Tesla contest uh at the head of the home page, it'll take you to the contest page, and you put in the word of the day, and you will be officially registered.
It's that simple.
Uh, I love cooking.
It's a passion.
I don't know why it relaxes me.
It does.
I love to eat also.
That's part of a passion.
Uh, and I don't care what you're cooking.
Uh, if you cook in a steak, a burger, chicken, pork chops, pork ribs, fish, whatever your favorite is.
I take great pride in making sure it comes out the way I like it every time.
I'm a bit of pretty much a bit of a perfectionist with cooking, always have been.
I want it perfect every time.
When I cut in at that steak, that chicken, that burger, that pork chop.
I want it perfect.
I want it exactly to my desired level of doneess.
Now, I will never have to worry again.
This technology is so amazing.
It's a modern, completely wireless cooking thermometer.
It eliminates any chance, you'll screw it up.
It eliminates any chance of undercooking, any chance of overcooking, no matter how you cook it.
It could withstand temperatures up to a thousand degrees Fahrenheit.
And it's called Chef IQ sense.
It's so simple to use, it's like putting a toothpick inside of your steak, your fish, your chicken, whatever you're cooking.
And then you just open up the Chef IQ app, which communicates with the wireless probe.
And yes, it's healthy, no risk.
I mean, it's so silly.
Um, anyway, and you pick, all right, I want it medium rare.
I want it medium, or maybe you're insane and want it well done, which I think is nuts.
But if you want it well done, it'll make it well done.
I'll tell you when you turn when to turn your meat over or tell you when your meat's done.
It'll eliminate any risk when you cook for your friends, your family, your neighbors.
They're gonna think you went to culinary school and want you to cook every time, which in my case I love because it keeps me busy, and I'm not trapped having to talk to people for hours on end, which I get quickly bored.
True or false, Linda.
You?
You have the attention span of a net.
Not true.
I'm dialed in and focused like a laser bee when I'm doing this show.
I didn't say you weren't focused.
I just was like, you know, if you get bored, you're out.
If I get bored amount, can't help it.
Anyway, just go to ChefIQ.com.
It's a very low price.
You'll save an additional 15% of checkout when you use the promo code Hannity.
That's ChefIQ.com today.
Um, I'm just loving the reaction of stupid people.
All of these people that have been trying to create in other people's minds that Donald Trump does not know what he's doing.
He's going to create a world economic crash.
And Donald Trump, you know, it's like whiplash.
What are they gonna say tomorrow?
Oh, he was forced to do this.
No.
Uh, as a matter of fact, the Treasury Secretary Besent just confirmed what I had pretty much understood because I know the guy so well.
This was the plan all along.
I've been saying this.
I said it to Linda Sweetbaby James yesterday in DC.
I said, he's just he's he's lining up all these nations, one after another after another, to the point where they're begging to do a deal with us.
He has laid out the he's laid out the history of America being ripped off and taken advantage of.
It's a compelling case, and we provide for the national defense.
We pay more for NATO.
We don't tariff them the way they've been tariffing us.
They've been taking advantage of us, downright abusing us, meaning America, the American consumer and American manufacturers.
They have hurt our ranchers, our farmers, our automakers.
They've hurt everybody.
And now the president said, okay, now that you got the message that I'm serious, now we can negotiate.
And they'll be negotiating from a position of strength.
Now, the president also wants to talk about other issues, currency manipulation, trade barriers, non-monetary tariffs.
I mean, we got to deal with the VAT tax in the European Union.
I mean, he was not wrong in saying that the whole European Union designed to screw us.
And if they think that they they're gonna get by without the U.S., good luck with them.
You know, go out on your own.
They want access to your money, they want access to our markets.
They're they're ready to make a deal.
And the president will be fair, but the president is not gonna allow this country to get ripped off anymore.
This is not that complicated.
This has been, you know, I I gotta give kudos to Mark Penn, who used to be the poster for Bill Clinton.
He had an article in today's New York Post today, reactions off the wall, undue market panic, he called it.
He said it's time for Wall Street to get a grip.
This is a Democrat writing this.
The Trump tariff policies are a calculated gamble that the threat of tariffs can fundamentally remake the global economy and retilt it in the direction of the United States and away from China and other beggar thy neighbor countries, he calls them.
But whether or not, whether they work or not, Wall Street elites have convinced themselves that tariffs are worse than the pandemic that stopped the entire economy or the 2008 economic crisis that put 10 million people out of work.
And so far, nothing has even happened.
It's all speculation about what could happen.
And Wall Street regularly overreacts on both the upside and the downside, but in judging the potential impact of the Trump tariffs, you know, the first place to look as basic math, he went on to say.
And he said these tariffs, if enacted, would be only a small part of the U.S. economy, no more than about one percent of our economic activity.
And if they were enacted, the money would not go into corporate profits, but into the U.S. Treasury about $300 billion a year.
I actually think that number is low.
I think it would be higher.
United States has an annual GDP of $28 trillion.
We are the world's largest importer, but that's because we have the number one economy in the world by far, relative to our size, impart imports are much smaller percentage than most people think.
Thank God we have a few people out there with a brain.
It is so frustrating.
Now, the communist Chinese launched, you know, this race racist humiliating humiliation campaign mocking Trump tariffs.
They had an AI-generated video believed to have been created by some TikToker depict a depressing uh depressing America under Donald Trump's tariffs.
Yeah, guess who gets the last laugh today?
And let me tell you where China's gonna head.
China, I promise you, listen closely to me, is freaking out now.
Why?
Because China needs access to our markets.
They want your money too.
And they're gonna have to come to the table.
And this is a win-win strategy to negotiate trade deals.
The other person that got it right, Art Laffer, smart guy who's on uh Stuart Varney's show.
Anyway, he came after Steve Moore wrote an opinion piece, a win-win exit strategy for Trump on tariffs that was published in the Wall Street Journal.
There are few people that will get it, people that we usually use on this program.
Is the reason we have certain guests that we have.
But what he's done now is he's gotten them in a position where they're going to lose their access to the U.S. market if they don't redress these types of inequities that they've done.
And Art Laffer worked in the Reagan administration as an economic advisor, and he said, Trump is a master negotiator, and I'm watching these people calling into Trump.
This is exactly what he does beautifully and wonderfully, and I believe he can negotiate freer trade deals, get those tariffs way, way down, much lower than they are now by primarily those people lowering their tariffs and us keeping ours low or even going lower.
It'll be a win-win.
This is what we've been telling you would happen.
Now, it might be a little hiccup in 90 days.
I don't know.
Some of these countries may be stupid.
And by being stupid, I would define stupid as, you know, they might get greedy and think, oh, he gave in.
Oh, he didn't like what was happening with the stock market.
Okay, if that's your bet, go make the wrong bet.
But I'm telling you, you're betting on a losing horse.
Ten-year treasury yields spiked higher as Trump tariffs continued.
Anyway, it jumped 10 basis points to 4.363%.
Now, I'm going to say something to you, and I don't give out economic advice.
Talk to your financial advisor.
If you don't have the stomach for the stock market, and the topsy turvy, frankly inexplicable ups and downs of the market.
By the way, it's up 2800 points today.
Oh, what are they going to do on fake news CNN, ABC, MBC, CBS, and MSDNC?
It is unbelievable.
The only country that was stupid enough to put reciprocal tariffs in place was China.
And they got whacked.
You know, JP Morgan's, Jamie Diamond, oh, recession probably coming.
Well, he inherited a recession.
Didn't officially get into recession territory, as far as I'm concerned, it was by every definition.
We're paying everything.
It's going to take a lot to get this economy.
That's why I went to Washington yesterday.
Because we've got to get this reconciliation bill done.
You know, it's, you know, CNBC.
By the way, that's like the worst network to watch for economic news.
They have really dumb people.
There's a couple of smart people, but the rest of them are pretty dumb.
Jim Kramer's an idiot.
I'm just telling you, I would you do what you want.
You want to take advice from Jim Kramer?
Good luck with that.
He predicted Black Monday for this week.
Didn't quite work out the way he predicted.
He's the one that said, I'm selling all my crypto, getting out now.
It's going to go in the tank.
Okay.
A genius.
I'm really going to listen to that guy.
No, thank you.
I'd I'd I'd I'd rather go bet my money away than listen to these people.
By the way, a little side note, the House Foreign Affairs Committee is set to consider legislation that would halt tens of millions of U.S. tax dollars.
Apparently they've been flowing to the Taliban.
This panel now slated to hold a markup hearing today on no tax dollars for terrorists act because they were recently made aware of a weekly 40 million dollar cash uh shipment Being made weekly to the Afghanistan central bank.
In other words, Republicans discovered Biden was sending 40 million dollars a week in cash shipments to the Taliban, the people that killed our soldiers and stole our military equipment and took our military base.

New evidence showing that the Biden administration conspired with China to keep Beijing's spy balloon surveillance mission a secret.
Did you see that news today, Linda?
Biden administration State Department officials held private talks with Beijing counterparts about the Chinese spy balloon that was intercepted in U.S. airspace in 2023 and discussed the implication the balloon's publicity would have on the relationship between the U.S. and China.
Biden officials held discussions with Beijing February 1st, 2023 about the balloon, discussed the impact, disclosing the balloon to the public, and could have that that that imp that disclosure would have on the relationship between the U.S. and China.
According to internal State Department documents at Trump uh administration officials told Fox Digital.
And apparently Wink and Tony Blinken stated that if the presence of the balloon were revealed publicly, it could have profound implications for our relationship with China.
So they chose to lie to you.
The American people.
Like they lied about the borders being secure and inflation being transitory and Joe's cognitive health.
They decided they would lie to us.
As a matter of record, because they cared more about what China thinks.
Now that's called American weakness.
That is called appeasement.
