We'd love to hear from you. | |
It is 800-941 Sean if you want to join us. | |
Uh we continue our reporting. | |
We are traveling with President Trump. | |
We are in stop number two. | |
We left Saudi Arabia very early this morning, way before any of you were uh awake, I am sure. | |
I mean, it's kind of like a Morgan like triple shifts. | |
It's very bizarre in terms of hours. | |
Um, but this trip has been incredible, and we're gonna go over the details of the success of this. | |
We are in Doha, we are in Qatar, um, very, very different cities in in so many regards. | |
And and I was trying to explain it to Linda, and she was giving me a hard time about it, but Saudi Arabia in a desert. | |
Um, and it's i it just is not as beautiful, I think, in my humble opinion. | |
Everyone has an opinion. | |
I mean, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but I mean, it's a desert. | |
And I'm looking over the city and over a body of water and an incredibly vibrant new beautiful city that is lit up, you know, parts of it lit up like uh Vegas for crying out loud. | |
I mean, it's it's incredible. | |
The amount of money here, Linda, is insane. | |
And I know you wish you were here. | |
We miss having you. | |
I do. | |
And you would have loved it because I don't know if you saw this. | |
The Saudis deployed a mobile McDonald's for President Trump's trip to the kingdom. | |
Please tell me. | |
I am no, I'm not joking. | |
Why why would you say I'm joking? | |
They rolled out. | |
Uh here's a picture of the article. | |
It's on Fox News.com. | |
It could be on Hannity.com. | |
Well, okay, we'll put it on Hannity that's a good thing. | |
Thank you very much. | |
All right then. | |
Uh Saudi Arabia rolled out a mobile and operational McDonald's truck for President Trump's first visit to the nation since his inauguration. | |
This this that's just a fun thing that happens. | |
Did it have a picture of RFK like next to the the arches? | |
Do you remember RFK's face when he was on uh the plane with Donald Trump and they were all eating McDonald's and he's like but then he went with me to Steak and Shake, and he was talking about the new oil that they were gonna use. | |
And and it was such a big deal. | |
Uh uh for people. | |
What is it? | |
Tallow oil versus you know, uh these what do you call those uh oils like seed oil. | |
Yeah, that's it. | |
Um, and it makes sense, and he is trying to give Americans healthy choice, but he's not taking anything away from anybody. | |
Uh, which is what it the way it should be. | |
Um, I will tell you the biggest overhang beyond the financial implications of this trip are the national security implications. | |
And that is Iran, and the president could not be any more clear that the Iranians are not getting nuclear weapons, no way, no shape, no matter, no form. | |
It just isn't happening. | |
I mean, uh, I looked at, you know, what the president of Iran uh he said if Iran's leadership rejects uh the olive branch and continues to attack their neighbors, then we will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure. | |
And he's been clear they will not ever, ever get a nuclear weapon. | |
Now, on the other hand, he's holding out the Olive branch, and that he said he would he would much rather make a deal with Iran and and see Tehran prosper. | |
Uh the people of Iran have suffered greatly because the monies that they have taken in, as Joe Biden turned a blind eye to sanctions has been enormous, and they have used that money to foment terror in the region. | |
They're the number one state sponsor of terror. | |
Uh, and the president went after them for their support of Hezbollah and Hamas and was clear that they will never have nuclear weapons, and that means they can't enrich uranium, and either they're going to take that message or they're not. | |
And, you know, countries' lives, you know, all these people's lives have been lost because of this Iranian regime. | |
Now he is giving the new Syrian regime an opportunity. | |
If they want to be a peaceful nation, they have that chance now because he's lifting sanctions. | |
If they don't, then the president will do what the president does, and that is hold them accountable. | |
I mean, maximum, you know, drop your nuclear weapons or face maximum pressure. | |
What does that mean? | |
They're not going to be allowed to continue to enrich uranium because they're getting too close to nuclear capability. | |
If you get to 60% enrichment of uranium, you're talking about four or five weeks where you're at the breakout number. | |
And at that point, you know, it we we cannot, they have to have a different path forward, and it has to be permanent, and it can't be something, and I think that's what the region is looking for. | |
You know, when the president challenged Saudi Arabia and all these other countries to join into the Abraham Accords, which I think will eventually happen. | |
You know, this was his first major speech, and that they've got to choose and a warning to Iran that they can choose, never have a nuclear weapon, or they will deal with the wrath of Donald Trump. | |
And it's that simple. | |
And all these nations that have been a little hesitant to sign on to the Abraham Accords, I think they're they're waiting for this resolution. | |
That's that is my take. | |
That's why they want to be in business. | |
They have made their choice. | |
Now we're also going to be watching very closely. | |
The president said he's considering secondary sanctions on Russia ahead of this, you know, scheduled. | |
We'll see if Putin shows up. | |
High stakes talks between Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Zelensky. | |
I'm always considering secondary sanctions, he said, on board Air Force One. | |
And Marco Rubio will be headed uh with his delegation uh to Turkey tomorrow uh for the scheduled talks, and and obviously we're we're hoping that that bears fruit. | |
Again, what is the president trying to do here? | |
He's trying to get a lot of big things done. | |
And look at what we've now seen just in the last you know week and a half, India-Pakistan and the president's involvement to lower tensions there, the China tariff deal, the Great Britain deal, um, the you know, all the monies that are now being committed by these these Gulf states to the United States to investment. | |
We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars, which is going to result in a benefit for Americans, high-paying career jobs. | |
It'll be good for national security to manufacture our own pharmaceuticals, to manufacture our own uh semiconductor chips, uh, to bring car building back to America at levels we have never seen. | |
Uh that's going to be high paying career jobs. | |
Uh, also taking on the big issue of Iran, trying to get peace in Europe, peace in the Middle East. | |
None of this is small stuff. | |
This is all these are all big, big issues. | |
And it's amazing that other leaders are not willing to do what President Trump is doing. | |
Uh The president told the leaders here in the Gulf states that Iran must stop supporting terrorist proxies as part of any nuclear deal. | |
To make the deal, Iran will wind down their nuclear program. | |
What does that mean? | |
No more enrichment and any place, anytime, anywhere inspections. | |
They must end their support of proxy groups throughout the region. | |
They must stop being a state sponsor of terrorism. | |
They must stop their bloody proxy wars. | |
They must permanently and verifiably cease pursuit of nuclear weapons. | |
You can't be any more clear than this. | |
He said this in in Riyadh again this morning. | |
I was there. | |
I was in the room. | |
They cannot have a nuclear weapon. | |
And, you know, this strongly worded push on Iran to a ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen. | |
Uh, and he added that he believed that the moment was ripe for a future free from the grip of Hezbollah. | |
But also Hamas. | |
Listen, Israel has to finish Hamas off. | |
That's it. | |
They can no longer be firing missiles. | |
It can't be a launching area into Israel. | |
I've been to Israel. | |
You can see Gaza with the naked eye, and I went to the police station where one city, Starut, was hit with 10,000 rockets in ten years. | |
On the upside, President Trump announced this 142 billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia. | |
Now, that's 142 billion. | |
This is on top of the trillion dollars now being committed by them. | |
And the trillion five by the UAE. | |
And the Saudi uh Crown Prince praising Trump's reset with Syria. | |
Now, do I think they want to? | |
It's it's clear, you know, I talked to people that had been here ten years ago, five years ago, six years ago, and they all say the same thing. | |
It is not the same country. | |
Now, does that give me complete trust? | |
No, I'm a trust but verify guy. | |
They have to they have to remove all extremism. | |
You know, this is what happened when LCC took power in Egypt. | |
All those people went to jail that were associated with the Muslim Brotherhood. | |
And then Donald Trump now is urging the new Syrian president to sign the Abraham Accords and recognize Israel. | |
He's doing the same thing, uh, which is pretty incredible as well with the Saudis. | |
Uh here where we are, by the way, it's such a beautiful we ought to take a picture and put it out there in terms of the view that we're looking at here. | |
Um I know it's late in the night, but it is a pretty spectacular skyline. | |
Qatar, where we are, we're in Doha tonight, uh, welcomes Trump with a Tesla cyber truck motorcade, which I thought was pretty interesting and fun. | |
Um, and obviously good for Elon Musk. | |
I mean, after he's been unfairly brutalized by by people that don't want to cut out waste fraud and abuse and don't want astronauts rescued and don't want uh Neurolink to to help people with spinal cord injuries walk again or people with blindness to see again. | |
They just hate they they hate Elon Musk because he's associated with Trump. | |
Also here in Qatar, they welcome, you know, as they welcome the president with this motorcade. | |
Um just a lot of big things happening, and the amount of money that the president is getting for the economy is is massive. | |
And this is on top of all the economic news that we have been telling you about. | |
Uh a Qatari Airline is expected to announce a major purchase from Boeing during the president's visit. | |
Uh we saw in the lead up, I saw Scott Bessant, the Treasury Secretary, talked to him for a while. | |
I said, How did you get this deal with China done in in two days in Geneva? | |
He said, everybody realized it was time to do a deal. | |
It was really that simple. | |
Uh, but they did a deal where they ordered what, 14, you know, 777s with an option to buy, I think, you know, ten more. | |
And, you know, God forbid inflation, by the way, now is the uh coolest it has been in four years, February of 2021, thanks to Donald J. Trump. | |
The U.S. did collect record 16 billion dollars in tariff revenue in April alone. | |
The president signed this executive order. | |
You know, why is it that 80% of medications are discovered in America? | |
The billions of dollars that it takes to develop a medication and pharmaceutical companies invest that money in the hopes of yes, they want to make a profit. | |
Okay, but they also will lower your cholesterol if you believe in statins. | |
Some people I know don't, uh, or uh uh your cholesterol level or your blood pressure or drugs to cure cancer. | |
I think things will one day we'll look back at how we treat cancer, and we're gonna think we're no, we were in the dinosaur age uh because of the brutality of a lot of treatments. | |
I've had so many friends deal with it, it's unbelievable. | |
And it's just sad. | |
But anyway, overall, you know, the news here is you know, one that's gonna benefit the American people. | |
142 billion dollar arms deal with Saudi Arabia. | |
Do you realize that's a that that is you know, beyond what their annual budget is by a pretty extensive amount? | |
That's a lot of money. | |
And uh and and there's giving Syria an opportunity after Assad, that's a pretty big deal too. | |
And then to watch Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State is gonna go to Turkey, and hopefully those those peace talks will take place, and we'll see what happens there. | |
The Saudis have committed a trillion dollars to spend in America manufacturing uh and other industries, uh, in in terms of energy, mining, arts. | |
And again, tell tell me what's the downside. | |
Why didn't anyone else ever think of getting these companies to invest in our country? | |
You know, they're and then he's working on America becoming an energy oil-rich country, an energy rich country, and he's challenging them at the same time. | |
I mean, it's a big deal that the president says, hey, how about you join the Abraham Accords? | |
He says to the new Syrian president, said to the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, hey, it's time to normalize relations and have a long-term lasting peace in the Middle East, where we are. | |
Iran agreed to meet in Turkey to discuss Trump's nuclear deal. | |
Uh Iran is feeling the pressure like Russia's now feeling the pressure. | |
We'll see. | |
I mean, Vladimir Putin, you know, I think there's a part of him that is just so he has all these territorial ambitions. | |
It's scary. | |
Well, we'll we'll watch that very closely. | |
We're gonna watch this meeting tomorrow and see what happens. | |
NATO nations, by the way, scrambling to meet Trump's defense spending targets, which is supposed to be five percent of their GDP, and none of these European countries. | |
We make we make our commitment. | |
Why aren't they making theirs? | |
Then they turn around and terrif us to death. | |
Pretty unbelievable. | |
Hey there. | |
I'm Mary Catherine Hammond. | |
And I'm Carol Markowitz. | |

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. | |

So down 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. | |
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 Mayfok from Prologue Projects and Pushkin Industries. | |
This is Fiasco. | |
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. | |
All right, Linda, do you miss us at all? | |
That's that's that is I miss you more than words can count. | |
And that's saying a lot for somebody who talks on the radio. | |
Okay, why do I think that's a good idea? | |
I left you speechless. | |
You see that? | |
Look at that. | |
Such dripping sarcasm by the listen, I'm a little jealous. | |
You guys are over there riding camels, living in you know the dream of the desert. | |
Right. | |
You think uh have you ever seen Qatar? | |
Have you we're gonna be in Abu Dhabi tomorrow? | |
Have you ever seen it? | |
Yeah, you said it was beautiful. | |
It really is a spectacular say. | |
I mean, is there's no other way to describe it? | |
The big difference is like, for example, in Saudi Arabia, I saw uh a housing development, and it was the weirdest thing in the world because the housing development stops. | |
There's a line of homes like that goes it's fairly extensive, and then all the way as far as the eye can see, all you see is arid desert. | |
That's your view. | |
And the air is dry and thick, and it's hot. | |
Now it's not hot all year round, to be fair. | |
And it is it is just a few months a year, you get down to 90. | |
It's just blissful. | |
No, it actually does get cold, believe it or not, in Saudi Arabia. | |
I asked people there. | |
Okay, those people told me. | |
Has been in the poppy fields. | |
You should not listen to them. | |
That is not accurate. | |
Oh, okay. | |
Are you done? | |
Are you really you just this is why you couldn't come on this trip? | |
You were not invited on this trip. | |
That's an appropriate place joke. | |
I mean, it just is what it is. | |
All right, you're allowed to tell jokes. | |
We we allow jokes on this program. | |
Um it's very fascinating to. | |
I mean, it's not just the Gulf states that are investing all this money in America, which is gonna benefit Americans. | |
I'd love I really love that part. | |
I'm gonna tell you why. | |
Because it has to do with me. | |
Wait, hold on, I'm sorry. | |
I have to make an executive producer interruption. | |
The average temperatures for the coolest months, December through February. | |
Are you ready? | |
Yeah. | |
Okay. | |
74 degrees. | |
Okay. | |
In Jeddah. | |
58 at Riyadh, and 63 in Al Damam. | |
So, like I said, you're grading on a scale. | |
It's all about the audience and who you're talking to. | |
If they're used to 123, then yeah, 65. | |
They're going to be freezing. | |
I mean, what is it there today? | |
What's the temperature today? | |
Well, I'm not in first of all, you have water in Qatar, and that results in a breeze that you don't have in Saudi Arabia, which is just the desert. | |
I mean, there's a big difference. | |
So, um there's water, there's still a temperature there. | |
No, it's um. | |
It's a hundred. | |
It's a hundred. | |
Um I will acknowledge this region of the world is hot. | |
You know, where I live in South Florida, it's a little hotter than New York. | |
And you freeze six months of the year. | |
You have your little snowstorms. | |
You can keep them. | |
I've shoveled enough snow. | |
I've walked in enough snow. | |
I've walked in enough ice for 40 lifetimes. | |
I don't ever want to see snow again. | |
I've seen enough snow. | |
I used to be a little bit more. | |
Listen, I think you live in Florida, you vacation in Doha. | |
I think you're gonna have a blissful final, you know, 40 years. | |
I love that you're I love that you're referring to this as a vacation, considering I've had five hours sleep and in 72 hours. | |
Thank you. | |
That's your normal. | |
No, it's not, it's never that bad. | |
It really isn't. | |
All right. | |
Can I continue with the show? | |
Please continue. | |
Uh NATO foreign ministers are looking to forge a compromise deal on ram ramping up defense spending as allies try to scramble to comply with President Trump's demand that they spend what we spend, which is well, actually, we spend more than five percent of GDP. | |
And they have six weeks before leaders come face to face with Trump in The Hague, the two-day gathering of foreign ministers in Toyki. | |
Uh, which by the way, Marco Rubio will be tomorrow, and hopefully, hopefully, uh negotiating some peace in Europe with Ukraine and Russia. | |
We'll see what happens. | |
But anyway, it's this is expected to be dominated by internal wrangling over NATO's spending targets. | |
It's you know, the the um the most unbelievable part of this is we pay the bulk of monies for this, and we don't benefit the most from this. | |
We just don't. | |
And this is to protect Europe. | |
And we pay well, why doesn't Canada pay their fair share? | |
Why don't why don't European nations pay pay their fair share? | |
Why do these people then turn around and screw us with high tariffs? | |
Uh, and and Donald Trump is is challenging that status quo. | |
Um, we do have an update on this Milwaukee judge Hannah Dugan. | |
Uh she has now been indicted after uh allegedly helping this illegal alien evade ICE. | |
We've covered this extensively. | |
A federal grand jury indicted this Wisconsin circuit court judge, arrested last month for shielding this illegal immigrant from federal agents. | |
By the way, correct me if I'm wrong, Linda. | |
Wasn't that the case where this illegal was being charged with domestic violence? | |
I mean, whatever happened to the left. | |
Abrego, uh Garcia charged with domestic violence, the wife and her own handwriting. | |
They don't care about that. | |
It doesn't fit their narrative. | |
It just doesn't. | |
They you know, the Me Too movement gets real quiet when it comes to illegal aliens. | |
Well, if they've been quiet. | |
There's no doubt. | |
By the way, the left also quiet. | |
I wonder if P. Diddy had a lot of liberal friends. | |
I really do. | |
I mean, I think that case is going to get very fascinating very quickly. | |
Anyway, so long story short, uh, the indictment federal grand jury after listening to testimony regarding charges that she allegedly helped this illegal alien escape arrest in her courtroom. | |
Now she knew that ICE agents were on site. | |
She knew that they were there to arrest this guy. | |
She was informed of all of this, and then lets this guy go out the back door that only you know certain people get to use to help evade ice. | |
Well, that's uh aiding and abetting law breaking, which by the way, I've been making the argument for years. | |
That's what a lot of these sanctuary cities and states do. | |
Uh the Department of Homeland Security is firing back at a blue city mayor, unhappy about an ice operation, uh demonizing uh ice, which led to a 413% increase in assaults. | |
Anyway, so uh this Nashville mayor Freddie O'Connell's public accusation that ICE agents do not share the state's values of safety after this Tennessee highway patrol operation in coordination with ICE resulted in nearly 200 illegal immigrant arrests. | |
They're doing their job. | |
And anyone that's aiding and abetting in law breaking, if I went down to the border and I picked somebody up and I transported them, trust me, I'd spend the rest of my life, you know, in jail in all likelihood. | |
And, you know, here we have more blood on the hands of Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, and Alejandro Mayorcus. | |
Authorities in Lancaster, South Carolina, have charged six illegals between the ages of 13 and 21 in connection with the random May 2nd murder of a mother driving to meet friends in Rock Hill, South Carolina. | |
Lancaster County Sheriff's Officers and deputies located this person. | |
Larisha Sherelle Thompson, 40 deceased with a gunshot wound behind the wheel of her vehicle, which is located about an hour south of Charlotte, North Carolina. | |
And now they have found now they've arrested these people. | |
It's how many more people they allowed in murderers, rapists, known terrorists, drug dealers, cartel members, and everybody in between. | |
It is incredible. | |
And by the way, activist judges are now smothering the Trump immigration agenda. | |
They can't do it legislatively. | |
They can't do it at the ballot box. | |
They're using activist judges. | |
Harvard Business Review found that two-thirds of good strategies failed due to poor execution. | |
They can't remember, we have a supremacy clause to our Constitution. | |
This falls within the jurisdiction of the federal government. | |
We have another judge, a federal judge for the first time backing Donald Trump's invocation of the Alien Enemies Act. | |
And but that has to go to the Supreme Court. | |
Now, the Supreme Court, oh, are you going to uphold precedent? | |
Well, they're asked that question all the time. | |
They should uphold precedence. | |
In the media, George Clooney was shaken when Biden failed to recognize him at a star-studded fundraiser, according to this book. | |
You know the sick part of this book, the sickest part of it? | |
And we'll play it later in the show. | |
Fake Jake Tapper, one of the co-authors of this book. | |
He himself excorated Laura Trump. | |
You don't know that. | |
You're making fun of his stuttering. | |
Whoever talked about Joe Biden stuttering, even though it was ever brought up. | |
And we'll play Schumer dodging questions about it. | |
Hakeem Jeffrey's ask questions about it. | |
Chucky Todd is teeing off on Schumer. | |
You're part of the problem. | |
You know, and with reaction to his new book chronicling Joe's cognitive struggles and how everybody knew about it and lied about it. | |
And he says, We're looking forward. | |
And then anyway, that's it. | |
You're looking forward. | |
Yeah, we're looking forward. | |
Uh and anyway, Chuck Todd said he's among the people that are responsible for this, the leaders of the Democratic Party, the staff of the White House, and I have to say I find everybody now talking about these authors. | |
You know, get out of here. | |
Go home. | |
You're part of the problem. | |
Now you now you tell us. | |
Hey, Chuck, you had a show. | |
It's called Meet the Press. | |
Why didn't you tell everybody? | |
The way I told everybody. | |
And got the crap kicked out of me for telling everybody. | |
Unbelievable. | |
There's such phonies, there's such frauds, there's such hypocrites. | |
Linda, in your great state of New York, uh, the assisted dying bill is moving forward. | |
It's like the Cavorkian bill. | |
I have very mixed feelings on this. | |
In a lot of parts of California, if you are in less than a hundred grand, that makes you low income. | |
Can you imagine that? | |
By the way, uh, this is a done deal. | |
I'm just telling New York City right now. | |
Andrew Cuomo is going to be your new mayor. | |
You have a new Maris poll out. | |
He clears the 50% threshold. | |
This that race is over. | |
