Sean Hannity Sean Hannity Show.
More behind the scenes information on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
Write down our toll-free number.
It's 800-941 Sean.
If you'd like to join us, we got all things simple man Bill O'Reilly coming up.
And we have Rand Paul.
He's been a critic of the president and tariffs.
Um look, the verdict is out in terms of the tariff issue.
However, having the treasurer secretary on our my show last night on TV was pretty reassuring to me because what we learned, I think is very revealing.
And it's it's really that simple.
And that is that 130 countries have ass.
They want they want to have free and fair trade deals.
I think we're like uh I think we're gonna be day seven in an hour from now, assuming the Dow stays up.
Um seven days in a row, the Dow is has leveled out.
And uh, yeah, of course, markets are very skittish.
The stock market has never been my my big barometer.
You know, but if you add up everything the president is putting in place in terms of the economy, which will culminate in energy dominance, more free and fair trade, because we've been ripped off and nobody's ever even thought about the this institutionalist mind think that exists in Washington.
It takes a disruptor like Trump to get in there and say, well, maybe it's time to rethink these things because we're ripped off, we're abused, we're taken advantage of.
At a pretty high level, even by allied countries that rely on us for their national security, it's a little frustrating.
But if you factor in, okay, let's assume That these 17 specific countries, the bigger countries that the Treasury Secretary was referring to on my show last night, because they did make this rare earth mineral deal with Ukraine.
It looks like now all pressure will be put on Vladimir Putin and Russia.
And if I had to guess, the president's patience with Putin is now about to come to an end.
That is my guess.
And my guess is that uh European countries, uh, thanks to the president's energy policies, which is another part of our economic success, that we will be able to provide them their energy needs, and they will no longer need to be reliant on Russia for the lifeblood of their economies.
They can they can rely on us.
We're a more reliable partner.
We have more natural resources.
We have the ability to get things over there.
Liquefied natural gas, oil, coal, which the president declared the energy emergency, that that's all good for the economy.
When we get to, we ex we expect somewhere around Fourth of July weekend, the reconciliation bill, the one big beautiful bill that the president wanted.
It is going to include making the Trump tax cuts permanent.
It will help American hardworking Americans that work so hard and play by the rules and pay their taxes and obey the laws, no tax on tips if you're in the service industry.
When I worked, what, 10 years in the service industry, I would have loved that.
Absolutely would have loved that.
No tax on overtime.
I always worked overtime.
I would have loved that too.
And I think that's going to be great for American workers, American families.
You know, the institutionalist left wing thinking is that you've got to soak the rich.
No, if you lower taxes, look Reagan proved it.
Donald Trump in his first term proved it.
You will double revenues to the government and you will create economic prosperity.
The threat of tariffs has resulted in nearly at least $8 trillion, headed to $10 trillion in commitments over the next four years for manufacturing in America.
I mean, these are all great things for the economy.
Lower taxes, uh, you know, helping out hardworking Americans, building these manufacturing centers in this country.
Everything we should be building our chips, our pharmaceuticals, our cars, our phones, everything now, you know, let's bring it in-house so we're not dependent on other countries or geopolitical disruptions, which are a certainty, and it's just a matter of where and when it's going to happen.
And it just simple basic common sense.
And it's it's kind of hard to understand why the left is so against these things.
By the way, we had the um uh the reemergence of Kamala Harris last night.
Uh you know, it it is amazing that we had inflation as high as nine percent.
They inherited inflation at 1.4%.
It went up to 9.2 or 3 or 4%, 9.
something percent.
And then now we're getting lectures from Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, who just you know said it was transitory, and they never once got to the preferred rate of 2%.
They never once got as low as Donald Trump had it when he was president, and now she's saying that Trump's tariffs are clearly inviting a recession.
This is not gonna wear well over time, especially when you factor in everything that I just mentioned that the president's doing on the economy.
Here's what she said.
So some people are describing what's been happening in recent months as absolute chaos.
And it's certainly true, those tariffs tariffs that predicted are clearly lighting a recession.
Oh, Kamala Harris is lecturing us on the economy, and meanwhile, she was the one that said, well, it's the the price of democracy to have higher energy prices, which they caused as well.
And then, of course, this bizarre moment, and this was this was supposed to be her big speech, and she goes into the whole chaos, chaos, chaos thing.
I'm I'm so tired of the media.
It shows you how in sync they are, how the legacy media mob is nothing but an extension.
I should do a big montage on chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos, chaos.
well, what was Joe Biden?
I mean, chaos that nobody saw.
It was, you know, now all of a sudden people say, Yeah, we kind of all knew, but we didn't want to tell anybody.
We were trying to hide it all.
Uh, it was it was the big lie.
And as I listen to Kamala Harris, I don't hear somebody that I think like I think Bernie Sanders uh is sounds so much even though I disagree with every fiber of my being, every dumb thing that he says, and this is somewhat contradictory.
He's articulate and he has a way to command an audience.
He does.
He's he's really good at public speaking.
And when you consider his age, I mean, I I don't see any cognitive decline in the Bernie Sanders that ten years ago yesterday announced that he was going to run for president and the Bernie today.
I really don't.
I see no cognitive decline.
All we did was see Joe's cognitive decline and and Kamala part of the cover up.
And in the middle of this big speech is breakout speech that the world was supposed to pay attention to.
She asked the audience if they saw the video of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake.
Listen.
In fact, please allow me, friends, to digress for a moment.
Okay.
It's kind of dark in here, but I'm asking a show of hands.
Who saw that video from a couple of weeks ago?
The one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake.
Google it if you've not seen it.
So that scene has been on my mind.
Everybody's asking me what you've been thinking about these days.
Well I I just can't take it.
I really could you imagine?
I can't even imagine.
It's like a nightmare.
It would be a national nightmare.
You know, the preventable we we would be not only allowing millions of millions of more unvetted illegals into the country.
Oh no, they they'd go much further than that.
They'd be on a path to citizenship by now if Democrats were in power.
That that's that's how dangerous and dumb, you know, all these Democrats and radicalized that they've become.
You know, I'm I'm watching, you know, the Democratic Party today, and I keep going over this because I think it bears repeating.
And the Democratic Party is uh the the party of of championing men's rights and women's sports and and the rights of illegals, including Trend Aragua MS 13 members over the safety of Americans.
That that that's where their priorities are.
And Chris Van Holland urging Americans not to visit El Salvador until Abrego Garcia is returned, and that's his priority, announces sanctions, legislation that won't go anywhere, targeting El Salvador's president and his government.
This is his cause celeb.
He got he got more press standing up for the MS-13 guy.
Maybe he didn't see Lindsey Graham asking the DEA nominee, Terrence Cole, if the tattoos on Abrego Garcia's hands signify MS-13 membership.
Now remember, Democrats tried to lie to you and tell you that real videos of Joe Biden were cheap fakes.
They weren't cheap fakes, they were all real.
Well, here's Lindsay asking the DEA nominee if these are real, and if in fact they identify him as MS 13, as two previous judges had had determined.
Listen.
Based on your time as a DEA agent in the field, particularly in Mexico.
These tattoos are consistent with MS-13 associations.
Yes, sir, that's correct.
Do you know of any other set of combinations that would suggest some other organization this represents?
With this particular one, no, sir.
Oh.
Okay.
This is this is the who they champion.
This obsession to, you know, praise and rationalize away assassination and cold blood, the allegations against Luigi Mangioni.
You know, the the silence has been deafening and the cheering has been somewhat loud in terms of the domestic terrorism against Tesla dealerships and Tesla cars and Tesla owners and Tesla charging stations.
That's called domestic terrorism.
You know, where are the Democrats, the party of January 6th, speaking out against domestic terrorism and acts of domestic terrorism.
One of the more disturbing things to come out of this cabinet meeting yesterday was Secretary of State Marco Rubio saying that the State Department had an office to monitor social media posting and commentary of Americans to identify them as vectors of disinformation.
And he actually said somebody at this table was one of the people.
Listen.
We had an office in the Department of State whose job it was to censor Americans.
And by the way, I'm not going to say who it is.
I'll leave it up to them.
There's at least one person at this table today who had a dossier in that building.
Of social media posts to identify them as purveyors of disinformation.
We have these dossiers.
Just think about the Department of State of the United States had set up an office to monitor the social media posts and commentary of American citizens to identify them as vectors of disinformation.
I mean, how chilling is that?
Linda, I don't know if you remember, but Jim Jordan was on this show, was on TV, and had found evidence that in fact it was a government uh effort, deep state effort, uh that was confirmed to censor and minimize my social media presence in the lead up to the 2020 election, which is pretty remarkable.
It wasn't one person that I know of in the media that seemed to care a lick that I've had what, uh over a thousand, anywhere between a thousand and fifteen hundred of my private personal text messages, for example, with Paul Manafort and with Kaylee McEnaney, and with Mark Meadows, all made public without my permission.
I thought where's my where's my privacy?
Listen, I'm okay if they want to do that, but let me just see everybody else's.
You know, let's see Joe Mika's text.
Oh, I'm not okay.
I don't want to see Joe Mikha's.
Oh, then then we would hear a lot of noise.
Then he double standards would disappear.
The double I don't I don't you have to wonder.
Well, certainly the coverage would be different.
You know the fun the I mean, there was a funny part of it when the messages, I guess there's like a thousand with Manafort alone, and and those messages were released.
They should have been redacted.
I should have been entitled to my privacy.
I was not part of that case.
There was nothing relevant about that case, even though I think Manafort was innocent and targeted just for political reasons from the get-go, and I'm glad he got the the pardon.
I mean, he was offered freedom every day.
Just tell us what we want to hear, and we'll let you go today.
And Manafort says, I I can't lie.
It didn't happen.
You want me to lie for my own freedom.
Now that's pretty enticing for a lot of people.
If you're spending your time in in isolation in jail, he didn't do it because his conscience wouldn't let him.
It speaks a lot about his character.
But they released all of my private text messages.
Um, I think I'm entitled to privacy.
You know, you keep hearing about liberal right to privacy.
Well, except if, you know, you name Sean Hannity.
The only observation was all over MSDNC, CNN, the networks, all of Sean Hannity's private tech, blah, blah, blah.
And, you know, it's it's frustrating.
And the the only conclusion they came up with, oh my gosh, he really believes what he says.
He believes this stuff.
Because what I was saying in my text messages, I would say on the air.
Often.
That's the worst criticism.
You that means that what?
I can assume that they're just full of crap.
Which I think most of them are anyway.
I think some so many people in television have sold their soul just to be on television and get a paycheck.
I really believe that.
That's not why I got into this.
I got into this because of my beliefs and I loved it.
And I got no money, little money, little money, more little money.
Sluggo paid me little money.
And then I then I started to do a little bit better.
And I but then I got blessed.
All right, as we roll along, 800 941 Sean, uh, all things simple man Bill O'Reilly, he will join us.
Uh, if you haven't heard, Mike Waltz is leaving his position at the NSA, will be the uh U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, not an organization I even want to be a part of, to be honest.
I mean, they historically have been so anti-American and anti-Semitic, uh, and we End up funding it.
I'm all in favor.
China can have it.
Let them fund it to the tune of seven, eight, ten billion dollars, whatever we pay a year.
President got out of the Paris Accords, WHO, these globalist organizations, WEF, they are useless, all of them.
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.

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.
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 Maybach 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.
They're giving you the big break of a lifetime.
You know, you're doing the interview.
I picked you because uh frankly I never heard of you, but that's okay.
And this is I picked you, Terry.
But you're not being very nice.
You think Vladimir Putin wants peace?
I think he does, yes.
I think do you trust do you trust him?
I don't trust you.
I don't trust, I don't trust a lot of people.
I don't trust you.
Look at you.
You come in all shooting for bear, you're so happy to do the interview.
I am you start hitting me with fake questions.
Fraudulent things were taking place, and we ended that, and those people are gonna be suffering.
A legal note fraud is a crime.
There have been no referrals to the Justice Department in any.
Well, you don't know that, do you?
How do you know that?
Have there been referrals to the referrals?
I think there were no investigation from the Justice Department.
I'm asking you, sir.
You're not asking me, you made a statement.
You know, now I'm asking you.
That was a statement that you made.
Some guy that I never heard of.
John James, is he a congressman?
This guy?
He said, he said, ladies and gentlemen, I am going to start the impeachment of Donald Trump.
What the hell did I do?
Here we go again.
They want to impeach me.
This lunatic.
This lunatic he's up.
Actually, I had the television way down, and I said to our great first lady, listen, did I just hear I was being impeached again?
We're getting good at this, though.
No, they've gone totally crazy.
These people, and you know what?
They've totally lost their confidence, too.
They can't even tell a lunatic like this dumb guy that said it.
And then you have the other one that's always with the cane.
He's always impeaching you.
He raises his cane.
You gotta admit that Donald Trump probably is the greatest beatdown ever with this Terry Moran.
I have no idea who you are.
None whatsoever.
Um that one just cracked me up.
Uh I just know that you weren't the other two guys.
So I've chose you.
And uh, you're not a very nice person.
It just is so classic Trump.
And then mocking the Democrats and I turn to Melania.
I say, Melania, is is it for did I just hear they're talking about impeachment?
The The answer to the question is, yeah, they really are.
Anyway, uh 800-941 Sean is our number if you want to be a part of the program.

I mean, there's so many dark, evil, horrible people in this world, by the way.
Um by the way, um, it was interesting to watch RFK in this cabinet meeting yesterday.
We have ended the HHS's role in cross-border child sex trafficking.
Now, if you look at some of the the coverage of this, it's totally negative.
Um, calling sex trafficking claims a conspiracy theory.
I forget where I saw that today.
And I'm not I don't know, I don't even want to get into this, then I guess it was in the Daily Beast part of it.
But he announced, because we have had on agents that for 15, 20 years, their whole job has been monitoring sex trafficking of children into our country.
And this is a massive, massive, under-reported crime that's been going on, and and nobody's ever paid attention to it.
It's such a shame.
He said we've ended the HHS's role as a principal vector in this country for child trafficking, he said.
And during the Biden administration, he said they became in, you know, the HHS became a collaborator uh for this industry.
Said we very aggressively gonna are going out and trying to find the they're they're missing, and we've discussed this part also.
They're missing about 350,000 children.
He said 300,000 children.
They're lost.
We don't we know they're in the country, but we don't know where they are.
August 24 uh report by Department of Homeland Security Inspector General's office found that 32,000 unaccompanied minors failed to show up for immigration court hearings from 2019 to 2024.
Another 291,000 illegal immigrant children did not receive court notices.
The report stated that those who do not appear for court are considered occurred are considered at higher risk for trafficking, exploitation, and forced labor.
And I mean, we have 350,000 kids in this country, you know, and sex trafficking is real.
There's so many there is evil.
If you don't believe in evil, there's evil.
You do this to a child, you're evil.
The role as the vector, the principal vector in this country for child trafficking.
And uh during the Biden administration, HHS became a collaborator in child trafficking and for sex and for uh for slavery.
And we have ended that, and we're very aggressively going out and trying to find these children.
300,000 children that were lost by the Biden administration.
Um, and we are we have ended funding for for gender mutilation, surgeries and other kind of gender dysphoria practices, and thanks to Elon, we have saved 67 billion dollars at our agency without.
I mean, amazing success in just a hundred days, isn't it?
Um, one previously deported illegal, sentenced, has been sentenced to twenty-five years in prison for raping a completely unconscious woman at a Mississippi restaurant in early 2025.
Uh, Mississippi uh Clarion Ledger reports that the Madison Rankin County's DA office identified the man as Jose Meja Cubillas, 37, El Salvador, jury indicted four days later for sexual battery, physically of a physically helpless person.
He's also facing pending charges for illegal entry into the U.S., previously deported in 2010.
I mean, how many more of these stories do we have to tell before Democrats uh are gonna stop, you know, standing up?
Anyone that entered the country illegally, they now have a chance to self-deport.
You self-deport, you'll have a chance to come in legally and respect our borders, laws, and sovereignty.
Otherwise, you get no chance, and then you get sent home anyway.
And it's gonna be much harder.
It is much harder as of uh January 20th to get back in the country.
In Texas, they racked up a whopping hundred and twenty-two million dollars in hospital bills in a single month for health care costs for illegal immigrants.
Just one month last year.
That would be one point four six billion dollars on an annualized basis.
And the governor Greg Abbott signed an executive order in August mandating that the Texas Health and Human Services Commission track the number of individuals not lawfully present in the U.S. who use the Texas public hospitals.
Is it the right thing to do?
And if you did it nationwide, it'd be the same.
Um, I got a little bit of a preview.
I expect that uh Robert Cahaley, Trafalgar and Insider Advantage uh Matt Towery will and they'll be on the program tomorrow.
Uh they are out in the field, and the headline I got is all of the polls are wrong, as I suspected.
Now, the for the last three presidential cycles, they nailed it.
Top polsters in the country.
That's why we use them.
And John McLonchlin.
And uh, so I'm interested in finding out what it is.
One side note, CNN poll even showed that Donald Trump would still win the White House of the election world against Kamala today.
I mean, hearing her and thinking of that for four years and thinking of wide open borders for four years and losing gas stoves and washers and dryers and plastic straws and the nanny state and the Green New Deal and you know, taxpayer-funded sex change operations and free college tuition and all her radicalism.
I can't even remember all the crazy stuff that was in the Kamala files.
I actually want to forget them.
But anyway, Minneapolis mayor who presided over the George Floyd riots defense, the judge who tried to help a violent illegal escape from ice.
Uh, we love them, meaning illegal immigrants.
During an interview, Fox Nine, Minneapolis.
Anyway, this this mayor uh of Minneapolis was asked whether he would support Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan, who tried to smuggle this uh illegal alien domestic abuser out of the courtroom to escape from ice.
The mayor said that while he doesn't know all the details, uh they're not illegal aliens.
They're our neighbors.
We care about them.
We love them.
Wow.
Do we really want Democrats ever to be back in power ever?
Ice, you know, unbelievable.
These are incredible times that we're living in.
They really are.
The $8 trillion that the president went through yesterday in new business investment generated first by the threat of Trump's tariffs is expected to create nearly at least a half a million jobs.
That's a lot of jobs.
And most of them are going to be high-paying career jobs for Americans.
and they won't be competing with all the illegal immigrants that are in the country.
Anyway, the president has now shifted the responsibility for driving economic growth, creating jobs to the private sector, which is a dramatic sh change.
And he was telling these business owners yesterday, which is why I thought it was important to cover this, but he was telling them that not only do we want you to build, we want you to build quickly, and we'll give you a hundred percent tax deduction if you do build to incentivize rich people or the evil rich, you know, the big corporations to spend all this money, invest all this money in our country.
I we we have got to become a country that is completely capable of being independent from any needs from any other country.
Our pharmaceuticals need to be made here.
Our cars need to be made here.
We we we need to be totally independent.
We need to get our rare earths uh so that we don't need anything from China.
Anyway, the president now more than eight trillion, headed towards ten trillion in investments from foreign and domestic companies looking to start and expand their U.S. operations.
That's you know, that's only because the president did something that no one was willing to do in fifty, sixty years, and that's challenged the status quo.
And I'd be I I it would be unfair if I didn't acknowledge that there's there's going to be some pain associated with the transition.
But after interviewing Scott Bessant last night, I feel more confident than ever, and he said put China aside.
China has been the worst abuser of American consumers of anybody.
And remember, they use you know, uh the ostensibly these sweatshops and slave labor, and they take care they they abuse these minorities, the Uyghurs in in China as well, and that's how come they're able to sell everything so cheaply.
And not that it's the best quality in in all cases anyway.
Now, what I imagine is going to happen, because I gave you all the information, the Wall Street Journal had a very interesting piece.
China is now experiencing major financial hardship as a result of the Trump tariffs, and it happened very quickly.
They're going to need access to our markets, and there are things that we need from China, mostly rare earths.
But we did make the rare earth deal uh with Ukraine yesterday, which I think is great.
But I I I really do believe that when you factor in, and this is going to take time.
We're going to need time to be able to really extract the natural gas, coal, oil, and become energy dominant and help our allies out around the world with the lifeblood of their economies.
We're going to need Congress.
Hopefully they can get it done by the fourth of July.
We'll probably need you to call the Capitol and get in contact with your Congressmen and Senators, because there's going to be a few outliers there that probably need a little pressure, but this is the best they're going to do under reconciliation.
But this is going to be money for national defense for the border.
This is going to be tax cuts that are made permanent, no tax tips, social security or overtime.
This is going to be good for America.
So you had energy independence.
If we can add free and fair trade deals to this, which I hope get done very quickly because it is causing pain in some sectors.
