Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thank you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine to
four one Sean, if you want to be a part
of the program, we are awaiting. Donald Trump has signed
his order to dismantle the Department of Education. He will
be addressed in the nation at some point in this hour.
We expect it any minute to be very frank, and
when that happens, we will bring that to you live.
I did spend an awful lot of time talking about
(00:24):
why this needs to occur. We spend so much money
on education with spectacular failure. I'll move on to some
other news. In the interor, Melon Musk is saying that
he believes that organized democratic groups are financing these Tesla
takedown protests and some of the most prominent fundraising groups
(00:47):
and anyways at an investigation that they have found the
people responsible and he is acting accordingly. It's not clear
what investigation Musk is were referring to a March tenth
CBS news report on one of the donors mentioned in
Musk's post to night an involvement in this, but we'll
(01:09):
find out in time. Eight Republican representatives have written a
letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash
Mattel requesting an investigation into any relationship with any of
these radical leftist groups and the anti Musk protests. And
in a major comeback, by the way, Elon Musk's X
has now regained it's forty four billion dollar value. You know,
(01:34):
Musk reportedly regained forty four billion dollar valuation, the same
price the world's richest person paid to buy the social
media site, which is pretty interesting. It's amazing how people
want him to fail. It is amazing. The silence of
the left is deafening. Senator Marshall Blackburn is ripping Democrats
(01:56):
for their silence. Appearing on Fox Business earlier yesterday, he
slammed the Democratic Party their lack of response. I find
it so interesting Democrats here in the Washington, DC area
have absolutely nothing to say about the people that are
showing up burning these dealerships, burning these cars, smashing their windows,
(02:17):
firing bullets into it. I'll add lighting cars on fire.
They're also lighting charging stations on fire. All of this
to cause violence, disruption, destruction of property. If it was
parents at a school board meeting or people praying outside
of an abortion clinic, the Biden, DOJ would classify them
as domestic terrorists.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
What we are witnessing is domestic terrorism. He goes on.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What you're seeing from the Democrats is complete silence. It's
like crickets. It's really sad because this is full on
domestic terrorism. And it's one of the reasons why we
have a Tesla contest. And again I'll remind you every
day you're going to have an opportunity. Every day you
get one chance to win. Now through April the eleventh,
(03:02):
you have a chance to win a Tesla, the Tesla
of your choice.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You just listen.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Every day I'm giving out the word of the day.
You simply go to Hannity dot com. You'll see a
Tesla on the contest page. You click on it, it'll
take you to the entrance page. You put in the
word of the day. Today's word is freedom, and you
can enter to win once a day, and then we
will announce the winner shortly after the contest is over.
(03:29):
What I worry the most about are the people that
work for Tesla because if this continues and they're successful
and terrorizing this company after the dosing that took place,
and you know you've got this website with a molotov
cocktail cursor that is trying to identify where every Tesla
(03:52):
owner lives, and it means as a means of intimidating them.
But so domestic terrorism is now hitting Tesla drivers and
dealers and charging stations, as you know. And what has
he done for this, nothing, Pam Bondi says. We have
charged multiple people. He said to get ready, more are coming,
(04:15):
and one in Oregon facing five to twenty years in prison.
We have filed in Colorado, we have filed in South Carolina.
The funding is one thing that we're looking at. I'm
personally in a meeting about it this morning, and we're
coming after you. We believe these are organized These are
not individuals out there throughout the country doing this on
their own. They are targeting Tesla owners, they are targeting
(04:36):
Tesla dealerships. They're targeting Elon Musk, who's out there trying
to save our country. It will not be tolerated. We
are coming after you. We will find you. And if
you are an organized group who's funding this, we're going
to find you. Two you better look out or you
better stop it. And this domestic terrorism is hitting all
(04:57):
these people. But I worry you now about people's lives.
You work at a Tesla dealership. How many of these
dealerships now have been firebombed? How many of these dealerships
now have had bullets fired through their windows? And the
Democratic Party, for the most part, they just remained silent.
(05:19):
How do you remain silent in a moment like this?
How is it possible? How is that possible? Police arrest
a suspect in a viral video of Tesla vandalism. San
Jose police arrested a man suspected of king a white
Tesla vehicle and a Costco parking lot, an incident that
was captured on video went viral on the internet. The
(05:41):
alleged vandal was charged with felony over the incident. Good,
I mean, because you're all part of this effort. By
the way, a top Senate Democrat is hinting that it
is time for Chuck Schumer to retire. Let me just say,
it's important for people to know when it's time to go.
Senator Mike Bennett Colorado went further than any of his
(06:03):
Democratic colleagues as it relates to Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What did I say? I said?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Chuck stays seemed to be numbered. Pretty unbelievable by the
way untold story that Taliban has released an American. George
Glesman is his name, ending his two year detainment, giving
President Trump another diplomatic victory. The Taliban agreed to send
him back to the US in exchange for improved relations
with DC for owing its previous demand that America hand
(06:32):
over imprisoned Taliban members. In a statement, Secretary of State
Mark Arrubio said George's release is a positive, constructive step.
It's a reminder that Americans will that are still detained
in Afghanistan, he said. The President said he will continue
his tireless work to free all Americans unjustly detained around
the world. A lawyer for the Glesmond family praised President
(06:56):
Trump in his efforts to bring George home after eight
hundred in thirty six days. He directly credited the President,
Marco Rubio, Adam Boehler, National Security advisor Mike Waltz. George's
release was achieved based on the unique skill dedication of
these people. I mean, it's amazing the number of people
(07:17):
around the world that are being held hostage that we
know nothing about. Bernie Sanders is urging progressives to abandon
the Democratic Party anyway, he said, why don't you just
shed the Democratic label and run as an independent the
way he does. Okay, so you're are still going to
be a Democrat. Jill Caucus is a Democrat like Bernie does,
(07:39):
but you'll vote Democratic.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
That's a nice little trick.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Let's say you're an independent and then vote for Chuck
Schumer as your leader.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
A lot of good that's gonna do. You know?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
This kind of fits in with the attacks on Tesla
and I hope the radical left watch what just happened
to Green's Peace after their supporters were caught domaging a
pipeline in North Dakota because a jury on Wednesday ordered
environmental campaign that group, Greenspiece, to pay more than six
hundred and sixty million dollars in damages to a Texas
(08:13):
based oil company, Energy Transfer, the developer of the Dakota
Access Pipeline. Nine person jury reached the verdict after roughly
two days of deliberations. The outcome found Green Peace liable
for hundreds of millions of dollars over actions taken to
prevent the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline nearly a
decade ago. It marks an extraordinarily an extraordinary legal blow
(08:37):
for Greenspeach, which had previously warned that it could be
forced into bankruptcy because of the case. The environmental advocacy
groups said they intend to appeal to the verdict. I don't
think they're going to win this. They either did it
or they didn't do it. As of now they've found
liable for doing it. We'll get into this later in
the program with the ag from South Carolina, but I
(09:00):
think of it if we've been watching now and Miranda
divines something that up well, Trump is fighting a cartel
of vile, corrupt, far left judges trying to kill his
campaign promises. And it just is these partisan judges understand
what Democrats can't get done electorally, but they can't get
done legislatively. What they can't get done by convincing you voters,
(09:23):
how to you know that their ideas are superior. They
do their little judge shopping game and they go to
these local, you know, activist judges, and we're finding out
more and more of them are democratic donors or democratic activists,
and at the local level where they should have no
(09:44):
say in terms of what a president of the United
States does or his constitutional authority. They are stopping the
President's agenda in its tracks. And then you know, now
we have to spend a fortune and go to court
and have endless court battles. Now, there have been a
number of US Governor Ron de Santis, I think summed
(10:04):
it up best when he wrote on X yesterday that
Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal
courts to decide these cases in the first place. In
other words, the sabotaging of President Trump's agenda by resistance
judges was predictable. Why are there no jurisdictions stripping bills
teed up at the onset of this Congress? And he's right,
(10:27):
that is probably the best, quickest, most effective solution.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You got.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The judge that blocked the key Trump executive order has
a history of left wing activism. This is the judge
that is trying to stop President Trump implementing an executive
order banning transgender troops. You have a Biden appointed judge
blocking blocking this. In this particular case, Trump's attorney general
(10:53):
claims the judge has no right to question the DOJ's
deportation flights. Well, we have a Supreme Court decision on
that very issue that was handed down in nineteen forty eight,
and that decision went even further by saying that not
only does the president have the authority and four presidents
prior to Trump have done this, but there is once
(11:13):
the president makes that determination, there is no judicial review
for foreign nationals, none at all, whatsoever. Another federal judge
temporarily blocking the Trump administration from reclaiming billion dollar dollar
climate grants. I mean, if you look at it, you
have a list of Obama Biden judges working to sabotage
(11:34):
Trump's agenda. A Biden appointed judge, you know, blocking the Pentagon.
That's just the latest example on the issue of immigration.
New York State's highest court is ruled against New York
City's plan to allow non citizens to vote. Can you
even believe we're debating that in America? But we are
a six to one ruling. New York Court of Appeals
(11:54):
sided with Republicans that challenge the law, arguing that a
clause in the constitutions is that every citizen shall be
entitled to vote. It refers only to US citizens. Out
in California, after spending billions and billions and billions of
dollars on health care for illegals with medical Well, now
(12:15):
the governor still doesn't have enough money. I think what
was the number, ninety five billion dollars, an insane amount
of money. Now the governor is asking state lawmakers to
provide a two point eight billion dollar loan to cover
expenses for medical and the request was in addition to
the three point four billion dollar loan that Newsom borrowed
from the state earlier in March in order to make
(12:36):
payments for medical through the end of the month, totaling
six point two billion.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And he says he won't end taxpayer backed health care
for illegal immigrants and they remain a sanctuary state.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Tell me, oh that makes any sense my frustations.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Along with Sean Hennity Show Network, President Trump has just
stepped out and he is announcing the abolishment of the
Department of Education. And we will carry this in full
and we will continue through the break at the bottom
of the hour, so you can make your preparations. Here's
President Trump from the beginning.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Thank you very much, Elida, And I'd like to start
by saying that our country is doing very well. Things
are as you can see doing quite well, please sit down.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Before we begin.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I just want to announce that I signed a proclamation
a few moments ago honoring the two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of Patrick Henry's famous speech to the Second Virginia Convention,
in which he declared very well known, very famous words,
give me liberty or give me death.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Has anyone heard the phrase? I think most of you have.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And moments ago I also signed an executive order to
dramatically increase production of critical minerals and rare earths.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
It's a big thing in this country.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
And as you know, we're also signing agreements in various
locations to unlock rare earths and minerals and lots of
other things all over the world, but in particular Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
We're doing very well with regard to Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And one of the things we are doing is signing
a deal very shortly with respect to rare earth with Ukraine,
which they have tremendous value in rare earth, and we
appreciate that. And we spoke yesterday with as you know,
President Putin and President Zelenski, and we would love to
see that come to an end. And I think we're
(14:40):
doing pretty well in that regard, So hopefully you could
save thousands of people a week from dying.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
That's what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
They're dying so unnecessarily. And I believe we'll get it done.
We'll see what happens, but I believe we'll get it done.
Today we take a very historic action that was forty
five years in the making. In a few moments, I
will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the federal
(15:07):
Department of Education once and for all. And it sounds strange,
doesn't it. Department of Education. We're going to eliminate it.
And everybody knows it's right, and the Democrats know it's right,
(15:29):
and I hope they're going to be voting for it,
because ultimately it may come before them, but everybody knows
it's right.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And we have to get our children educated.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
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,
(16:01):
thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
That's another interesting statement.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
These are very It's an interesting opening, right, but it's true.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
And we people. It's been amazing how popular this has been.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I tell people that this is what I'm doing today,
and they say, oh, that's it's about time. Everybody says
Republicans and Democrats have said it. They're all saying it
also with us or some terrific people. Governors Greg Abbott, Greg,
thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Governor Ronda Santis, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Ron, Mike Braun, congratulations on your victory.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Mike, I was a big one.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Mike Dwine, thank you very much, Mike Jeff Landry Jeff,
thank you very much. Jack Billy, thank you. Governors all governors,
Brad Little.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Brad, thank you very much. Are you Brad high bred?
Jim Piland, Thank you very much, Jim and Kim Reynolds.
These are all.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
People very interested in education. And I even see Dan
Patrick over there, my friend Dan Patrick. We're joined also
by Representatives Tim Wahlberg and UH Virginia Fox, Rick Allen,
Michael Rooley, and again Dan Patrick, thank you very much. Dan,
(17:37):
You've been a great friend of ours. And State Attorneys
General Ken Paxson. Can I see you there? Andrew Bailey
Andrew what a job you've done. Andrew, you have some
good cases going.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You've done a great job. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
And co founder of Moms for Liberty, Tiffany Justice.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
He's been a hard worker. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tiking.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
When President Carter created the Federal Education Department in nineteen
seventy nine, it was opposed by members of his own cabinet,
as well as the American Federation of Teachers, the New
York Times editorial Board, and the famed Democrat Senator Daniel
Patrick moynihan. History has proven them right, absolutely right. After
(18:27):
forty five years, the United States spends more money on
education by far than any other country, and spends likewise,
by far more money per pupil than any country.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
And it's not even close.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
But yet we ranked near the bottom of the.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
List in terms of success.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
It's an amazing stat that's those are two stats.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
You don't want.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
The most money spent per pupil, and you're at the bottom.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Of the list.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And that's where we are, like it or not, and
we've been there for a long time. Seventy percent of
eighth graders are not pro efficient in either reading or
in math. Seventy percent forty percent of fourth grade is
lack even basic reading.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Skills, can't read.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Students in our public elementary and middle schools score worse
in reading today than when the department opened. By a
lot in Baltimore, forty percent of the high schools of
zero students who can do basic mathematics, not even the
very simplest of mathematics. I said, give me your definition
(19:30):
of basic, and they're talking about like adding a few
numbers together. Despite these breathtaking failures, the department's discretionary budget
is exploded by six hundred percent in a very short
period of time, and employees, bureaucrats, and buildings all over Washington,
d C. And as a former real estate person, I
(19:51):
will tell you I ride through the streets of Washington
and it says Department of Education, Department of Education. I said,
how do you fill those buildings? It's crazy what's happened
over the years. On police report that after offering these
federal employees two generous buy out options, and they were
very generous.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
And they're good people, but they.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Were very generous, my administration has initiated a reduction in
force and we're already cutting numbers that were really surprising
to a lot that we were able to do it
so successfully, and we've cut the number of bureaucrats in
half fifty percent of taking office, such as under the
(20:38):
action I'm taking today, a small handful of Democrats and
others that we have employed for a long time, and
there are some Republicans, but not too many.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
I have to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
But the Department's useful functions and such as they're in
charge of them. Pel grants Title I funding resources for
children with this abilities and special needs will be preserved,
fully preserved. They're all going to be so if you
look at the pelgrims supposed to be a very good program.
Title one funding and resources for children with special disabilities
(21:14):
and special needs. They are going to be preserved and
full and redistributed to various other agencies and departments that.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Will take very good care of them.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
And it's very important to Linda, I know, and it's
very important to all of us. But beyond these core necessities,
my administration.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Will take all lawful.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Steps to shut down the department. We're going to shut
it down and shut it down as quickly as possible.
It's doing us no good. We want to return our
students to the states where just some of the governors
here are so happy about this. They want education to
come back to them, to come back to the states, and.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
They're going to do a phenomenal job.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You know, if you look Denmark, Norway, Sweden, I have
to tell you credit, China is a top ten and
so we can't now say that bigness is making it
impossible to educate because China is very big. But you
have countries that do a very good job in education.
And I really believe, like some of the governors here
(22:15):
today from states that run very very well, including a
big state like Texas, but states that run very well
are going to have education that will be as good
as Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and those top Finland, those top
countries that do so well with education.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I think they'll do every bit as well. And what
do you think about that, Governor, Do you agree? I
think so, Ron, Do you.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Agree, I think so, Florida, Iowa.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I really believe that they'll be as good as any
of them. And then you'll have some laggards and we'll
work with them. And we can all tell you who
the laggards will be. Right now, probably but let's not
get into that. But we'll work with them. We're going
to make them.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
They'll do a job.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I think they'll do a job, and they'll go to
sections of the state.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
For instance, in New York, you'll have a Manhattan and you'll.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Have a Suffolk County, and you'll have Nassau County, and
you have Westchester County.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
You'll do four or five or six of them.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
You have upstate New York and those counties I think
are going to do very well. And I think ultimately
Manhattan should do very well. But we'll break it down
into sections and I think it'll be really really good,
and they're going to be probably the tougher ones, but
I think they have a chance to do really well.
But we're going to be returning education very simply back
(23:37):
to the states where it belongs.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
And this is a.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Very popular thing to do, but much more importantly, it's
a common sense thing to do, and it's going to work.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Absolutely, it's going to work.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And I can tell you from dealing with the governors
and others in the state, they want it so badly.
They want to take their children back and really teach
their children individually. Probably the cost will be half and
the education will be maybe many many times better. So
(24:08):
we look forward to this. I want to just make
one little personal statement.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Teachers, to me.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Are among the most important people in this country. And
we're going to take care of our teachers. And I
don't care if they're in the Union or not in
the Union.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
That doesn't matter. But we're going to take care of
our teachers. And I believe, I believe.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
The States will take actually better care.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Of them than there than they are taken care of
right now.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
They'll work all sorts of systems and even merit systems.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Those great teachers are going to.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Be maybe a little bit better rewarded, and maybe that's
the way it should be, but the states are going
to make that decision.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
But we're going to love and cherish our teachers.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Along with our children, and they're going to work with
the parents, and they're going to work with everybody else,
and it's going to be an amazing thing to watch,
and it's really going to be something special. And Linda,
you're presiding over something that's so important and you're going
to do a fantastic job, just like you have your
whole life. I know, your whole life I've been watching you.
I've been watching you for a long time. She's had
(25:08):
nothing but success. So it's tremendous to have you. And
hopefully you won't be there too long, but we're going
to find something else for you, lind Okay, So this
will conclude what.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
We are talking about with respect to our.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Most cherished group of people, and that's our children. We
want to have our children well educated. We want them
to love going to school.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
We have examples of it.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Look at those beautiful, bright eyed faces.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Those they are so smart. They're so smart.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And with that, I'm going to come down and we're
going to sign a very important document and.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
We're going to be on our way.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
People have wanted to do this for many many years,
for many many decades, and I don't know no president
ever got around to doing it, but I'm getting around
to doing it, So thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Now is walking over.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
There's a group of students, and he is about to
sign what is the dismantling of the Department of Education,
which is pretty amazing. He does speak, but he doesn't
really have a microphone in front of him. But we'll
see if we can listen in yeah, anyway, we'll get
(26:30):
your calls in here. I know a lot of you
want the Department of Education dismantled. Anyway, if you want
to give us a call, we'll take calls now eight
hundred and nine four one, Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, A reminder to please.
I really do want everybody to get a chance to
win our tesla. I really do. I don't know why
(26:51):
I love giving away free stuff. We should, probably, Linda,
why don't we do it more often? We should do
this more often?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Love to give?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Do you want to start with me and just use
me as an example? I am willing to you know,
I'm willing.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
To do that tech I don't know technically if you're
allowed to sign up, are you?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I have no idea what the lawyers say.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I think that I have to talk to somebody who
probably is in control of the Sean Handity Show to
break Sean Handiti rules about not working at places that
are giving away free stuff and then getting the free stuff.
So if you know anybody that could you know massage that.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Rule for me.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh, massage that rule.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So you're basically telling me, oh, sorry, Sean, I'm not
really eligible.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But I have no.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Idea what you're saying that sounds crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I am just The reason I'm doing this is very simple.
Elon Musk has done nothing wrong, nothing to deserve what
people are doing to him, threatening his life, and now
they are doing everything they could possibly do to destroy
(27:57):
his business. He is only sir our country. We watched
and witnessed this week him save astronauts by the way
he created. He was the chief engineer of SpaceX. He
remains the chief engineer of SpaceX. He created. I'm speaking
now from experience, which I didn't have the single most
innovative car company in the entire world. Not everybody that
(28:22):
works for Elon Musk at Tesla, we have no idea
what their politics are. But now people, because of these
acts of domestic terrorism, threatening and doxing intimidation, they are
now threatening the jobs of people that work at the dealerships,
people that manufacture these cars, and threatening you know, people
(28:42):
that own and drive them.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I mean, and this is a guy that I'm sorry,
what did you say in my ear?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I want to give you an analogy, a really good one.
I've been thinking about it all day, and I was
thinking about when Biden and Harris were in office, and
conservatives were really outraged by all of the things that
were happening. Any pick any one thing, and there's just
so many. But we didn't express ourselves the way that
(29:10):
these people are. I mean, they're literally, I mean they're
taking away people's private property. It's it's just beyond the pail.
And then they have actors and elected officials going out
and doing the Tesla takedown and it's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
So I was thinking of myself as exactly and yeah,
go ahead, But my point.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Is is, like, think about like Bezos, right, like when
Bezos was running Amazon, and or you know Bill Gates
or any of these people who have private companies and
decide that their philanthropic efforts is that they want to
support a certain candidate.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And we went out and.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
We were like, we're going to smash all of these
you know, windows, PCs. We're gonna rob Amazon trucks, we're
going to destroy people's boxes. We're going to take you know,
the porch, thee thing all the way to another level,
and we're going to destroy and mash it up and
smash your door because you have an Amazon delivery. Like
that's equivalent. I can't even like the left wing media
(30:07):
would have went crazy over us, and it's dead silent.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
They say nothing, only Rocanna. And he has a Tesla
manufacturing center in his district, the most innovative car company
in the world, self driving over a thousand horse powers,
zero to sixty and two point zero seconds and you
get your precious electric veal law. I've always been pro
choice for what car you want to drive. I'm now
(30:32):
choosing to drive this Tesla and choosing to give one away.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
I'm choosing.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
He helped Americans and needed communication when they'd had no
communication with the outside world after Hurricane Helene. He helped
people after the Pacific Palisades wildfires. And what did he do.
He aligned with Trump. That's his political, personal political view,
not the view of everyone at Tesla. Now those jobs
are in jeopardy. I'm paying career jobs for people. And
(30:59):
he identified over one hundred billion dollars in waste fraud
abuse in our government. And he's working to cure blindness
and enable people with spinal cord injuries to walk again.
And that what this is the way our country says
thank you. It is disgusting and it is repulsive. He's
done nothing wrong and by the way, if you go
to Hannity dot com every day, you can sign up
(31:21):
once a day throughout the contest. You just put in
the word of the day, which I give out on
the show. Today's word is freedom, and sign I want.
I want everyone that's listening to me. If you can't
do a way you're driving, unless you have a Tesla
and it's driving itself, just go to Hannity dot com.
Use the word of the day freedom, easy to remember,
and you signed up for today, and then you can
(31:43):
sign up again tomorrow with a new word of the day.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
It's really more simple.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
And one point of note when you submit online, guys,
if you have a computer that has an AD blocker
or a pop up blocker, the entranceform is not going
to open because it has to pop up, So you
need to disable that and then you'll be will enter.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Okay whatever that means. Do that.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Let's go to our busy phones. Robin is in Alabama.
Hey Robin, how are you?
Speaker 6 (32:11):
I'm fine?
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Thank you for having me. I'm a former Alabama State
Teacher of the Year, former principal teacher, and I am
and I actually ran for Congress against Terry Sewell primarily
on this platform. To get rid of the Department of
(32:32):
Ed so that our kids, primarily the ones in the
lower income areas, can get the money going directly to
the schools and the systems so that they can be
serviced the way that they need to be.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Well, I've got to tell you something. I will tell
you that this has been systemic failure. Systemic. Oh yeah, Now,
now we have an opportunity to fix it. And now
we're going to block rant the money. And I still
guarantee you this. You know, cities like New York and
Chicago and and you know these these you know LA
(33:14):
areas of LA and areas of San Francisco will still
screw it up. But the states, you know what, they're
gonna have a lot more money in states that have
been very efficient, like Florida, Utah, Idaho and others. Anyway,
Robin appreciated Dennis long Island. Next Sean Hennity Show.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Hi Sean, thank you for taking my call. I am
a New York City special needs teacher. I've been doing
teen years and I got to tell you, I am
so happy that this is happening. But like you just said,
New York is going to be lollly gagging and I
(33:49):
think New York City deal we actually need a dose itself.
But you know a lot of things like we're you
know in the city. It's like, you know, I still
don't get enough money. I could use my own money
in New York City, which there's been billions of dollars
you know, pumped in here, so you know that I find,
(34:11):
you know, I really do like. And then the other
thing is, I'm from Long Island, Nassau County, where my
my my taxes are through the roof.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
You know.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
I think it's gonna be great if we could just
separate the.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Counties and have their own little you know, their own.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
You know, their their own department of education, so they'll
be less likely of corruption and bureaucrats that are funneling
money just to themselves. So I just wanted to chime
in on that. Thank you for taking the call.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
We appreciate it, and thanks for being a good teacher.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Uh Susan in Florida, my free state, Susan, we have
about a minute.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
It's all yours.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
You know a lot of things like we're you know
in your city.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
It's like, you know, uh, Susan, I know, but that's
why we're on. We're on delay because you're on the
show occasionally, and if you didn't say all those bad words,
we wouldn't need four hundred delayout minutes.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
All that's utter nonsense. Second of all, I was just
telling you in your ear that she had her radio
up here.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I could hear a long time down Pat in New York.
You have about forty seconds ago.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Sean, I am in the real New York that's upstate
New York Trump Country.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I want are you still paying New York taxes? Too bad?
But anyway, glad you called No.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
There's two things that we need. We need to cut
New York off at about white Plains south, and we
need the electoral college for counties county by county. And
they'll never be a Democrat to win again in New York.
But I'm the tesla thing. As I was telling the
call streamer, I believe the reason this is all occurring
(35:53):
by the left, not so much the Democrats, it's the
left is because they're jealous of accomplishment. They're jealous of success.
They're going after Trump, they're going after Elon. They go
after people that do it the right way because they
don't know how to.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Well I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
It's sad, you know, when we're never going to have
good people ever want to serve if this is how
we treat people that offer so much to us and
have done nothing wrong. It's a car company. As he said,
this is not a political statement. I mean liberals loved
it when when when it was you know, their favorite
(36:33):
car because it was electric and they wanted to force
electric vehicles into our driveways. I just believe in freedom
of choice, and now that I've come to learn about it,
I'm like, I'm all in. I love the technology of it.
It's fine. I'm gonna love that. I'll never have to,
you know, gass up and pay three bucks, four bucks
a gallon, whatever I pay anyway, I'll just go to
(36:55):
Hannity dot com. Word of the day is freedom and
sign up for your your Today's Chance to when you
can sign up once a day every day, find if
you're just joining us. President Donald Trump just signing an
executive order which is dismantling the Department of Education. I've
gone through as much. I'm going to show you on
TV tonight. We're going to lay it out on how
(37:16):
much money has been wasted spent, all the corruption that exists,
all of the failure that has been institutionalized, and why
this is such a great idea, and all the different
ways that states and local districts can better use this
money and focus in on reading, writing, math, history, science,
(37:39):
and computers and actually do a million times better job.
All right, when we come back, the ag of South
Carolina on all of these lawsuits against Donald Trump,
Thank you for being with us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine to
four one Sean, if you want to be a part
of the program, we are awaiting. Donald Trump has signed
his order to dismantle the Department of Education. He will
be addressed in the nation at some point in this hour.
We expect it any minute to be very frank, and
when that happens, we will bring that to you live.
I did spend an awful lot of time talking about
(00:24):
why this needs to occur. We spend so much money
on education with spectacular failure. I'll move on to some
other news. In the interor, Melon Musk is saying that
he believes that organized democratic groups are financing these Tesla
takedown protests and some of the most prominent fundraising groups
(00:47):
and anyways at an investigation that they have found the
people responsible and he is acting accordingly. It's not clear
what investigation Musk is were referring to a March tenth
CBS news report on one of the donors mentioned in
Musk's post to night an involvement in this, but we'll
(01:09):
find out in time. Eight Republican representatives have written a
letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Cash
Mattel requesting an investigation into any relationship with any of
these radical leftist groups and the anti Musk protests. And
in a major comeback, by the way, Elon Musk's X
has now regained it's forty four billion dollar value. You know,
(01:34):
Musk reportedly regained forty four billion dollar valuation, the same
price the world's richest person paid to buy the social
media site, which is pretty interesting. It's amazing how people
want him to fail. It is amazing. The silence of
the left is deafening. Senator Marshall Blackburn is ripping Democrats
(01:56):
for their silence. Appearing on Fox Business earlier yesterday, he
slammed the Democratic Party their lack of response. I find
it so interesting Democrats here in the Washington, DC area
have absolutely nothing to say about the people that are
showing up burning these dealerships, burning these cars, smashing their windows,
(02:17):
firing bullets into it. I'll add lighting cars on fire.
They're also lighting charging stations on fire. All of this
to cause violence, disruption, destruction of property. If it was
parents at a school board meeting or people praying outside
of an abortion clinic, the Biden, DOJ would classify them
as domestic terrorists.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
What we are witnessing is domestic terrorism. He goes on.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
What you're seeing from the Democrats is complete silence. It's
like crickets. It's really sad because this is full on
domestic terrorism. And it's one of the reasons why we
have a Tesla contest. And again I'll remind you every
day you're going to have an opportunity. Every day you
get one chance to win. Now through April the eleventh,
(03:02):
you have a chance to win a Tesla, the Tesla
of your choice.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
You just listen.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Every day I'm giving out the word of the day.
You simply go to Hannity dot com. You'll see a
Tesla on the contest page. You click on it, it'll
take you to the entrance page. You put in the
word of the day. Today's word is freedom, and you
can enter to win once a day, and then we
will announce the winner shortly after the contest is over.
(03:29):
What I worry the most about are the people that
work for Tesla because if this continues and they're successful
and terrorizing this company after the dosing that took place,
and you know you've got this website with a molotov
cocktail cursor that is trying to identify where every Tesla
(03:52):
owner lives, and it means as a means of intimidating them.
But so domestic terrorism is now hitting Tesla drivers and
dealers and charging stations, as you know. And what has
he done for this, nothing, Pam Bondi says. We have
charged multiple people. He said to get ready, more are coming,
(04:15):
and one in Oregon facing five to twenty years in prison.
We have filed in Colorado, we have filed in South Carolina.
The funding is one thing that we're looking at. I'm
personally in a meeting about it this morning, and we're
coming after you. We believe these are organized These are
not individuals out there throughout the country doing this on
their own. They are targeting Tesla owners, they are targeting
(04:36):
Tesla dealerships. They're targeting Elon Musk, who's out there trying
to save our country. It will not be tolerated. We
are coming after you. We will find you. And if
you are an organized group who's funding this, we're going
to find you. Two you better look out or you
better stop it. And this domestic terrorism is hitting all
(04:57):
these people. But I worry you now about people's lives.
You work at a Tesla dealership. How many of these
dealerships now have been firebombed? How many of these dealerships
now have had bullets fired through their windows? And the
Democratic Party, for the most part, they just remained silent.
(05:19):
How do you remain silent in a moment like this?
How is it possible? How is that possible? Police arrest
a suspect in a viral video of Tesla vandalism. San
Jose police arrested a man suspected of king a white
Tesla vehicle and a Costco parking lot, an incident that
was captured on video went viral on the internet. The
(05:41):
alleged vandal was charged with felony over the incident. Good,
I mean, because you're all part of this effort. By
the way, a top Senate Democrat is hinting that it
is time for Chuck Schumer to retire. Let me just say,
it's important for people to know when it's time to go.
Senator Mike Bennett Colorado went further than any of his
(06:03):
Democratic colleagues as it relates to Chuck Schumer.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
What did I say? I said?
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Chuck stays seemed to be numbered. Pretty unbelievable by the
way untold story that Taliban has released an American. George
Glesman is his name, ending his two year detainment, giving
President Trump another diplomatic victory. The Taliban agreed to send
him back to the US in exchange for improved relations
with DC for owing its previous demand that America hand
(06:32):
over imprisoned Taliban members. In a statement, Secretary of State
Mark Arrubio said George's release is a positive, constructive step.
It's a reminder that Americans will that are still detained
in Afghanistan, he said. The President said he will continue
his tireless work to free all Americans unjustly detained around
the world. A lawyer for the Glesmond family praised President
(06:56):
Trump in his efforts to bring George home after eight
hundred in thirty six days. He directly credited the President,
Marco Rubio, Adam Boehler, National Security advisor Mike Waltz. George's
release was achieved based on the unique skill dedication of
these people. I mean, it's amazing the number of people
(07:17):
around the world that are being held hostage that we
know nothing about. Bernie Sanders is urging progressives to abandon
the Democratic Party anyway, he said, why don't you just
shed the Democratic label and run as an independent the
way he does. Okay, so you're are still going to
be a Democrat. Jill Caucus is a Democrat like Bernie does,
(07:39):
but you'll vote Democratic.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
That's a nice little trick.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Let's say you're an independent and then vote for Chuck
Schumer as your leader.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
A lot of good that's gonna do. You know?
Speaker 2 (07:49):
This kind of fits in with the attacks on Tesla
and I hope the radical left watch what just happened
to Green's Peace after their supporters were caught domaging a
pipeline in North Dakota because a jury on Wednesday ordered
environmental campaign that group, Greenspiece, to pay more than six
hundred and sixty million dollars in damages to a Texas
(08:13):
based oil company, Energy Transfer, the developer of the Dakota
Access Pipeline. Nine person jury reached the verdict after roughly
two days of deliberations. The outcome found Green Peace liable
for hundreds of millions of dollars over actions taken to
prevent the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline nearly a
decade ago. It marks an extraordinarily an extraordinary legal blow
(08:37):
for Greenspeach, which had previously warned that it could be
forced into bankruptcy because of the case. The environmental advocacy
groups said they intend to appeal to the verdict. I don't
think they're going to win this. They either did it
or they didn't do it. As of now they've found
liable for doing it. We'll get into this later in
the program with the ag from South Carolina, but I
(09:00):
think of it if we've been watching now and Miranda
divines something that up well, Trump is fighting a cartel
of vile, corrupt, far left judges trying to kill his
campaign promises. And it just is these partisan judges understand
what Democrats can't get done electorally, but they can't get
done legislatively. What they can't get done by convincing you voters,
(09:23):
how to you know that their ideas are superior. They
do their little judge shopping game and they go to
these local, you know, activist judges, and we're finding out
more and more of them are democratic donors or democratic activists,
and at the local level where they should have no
(09:44):
say in terms of what a president of the United
States does or his constitutional authority. They are stopping the
President's agenda in its tracks. And then you know, now
we have to spend a fortune and go to court
and have endless court battles. Now, there have been a
number of US Governor Ron de Santis, I think summed
(10:04):
it up best when he wrote on X yesterday that
Congress has the authority to strip jurisdiction of the federal
courts to decide these cases in the first place. In
other words, the sabotaging of President Trump's agenda by resistance
judges was predictable. Why are there no jurisdictions stripping bills
teed up at the onset of this Congress? And he's right,
(10:27):
that is probably the best, quickest, most effective solution.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
You got.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
The judge that blocked the key Trump executive order has
a history of left wing activism. This is the judge
that is trying to stop President Trump implementing an executive
order banning transgender troops. You have a Biden appointed judge
blocking blocking this. In this particular case, Trump's attorney general
(10:53):
claims the judge has no right to question the DOJ's
deportation flights. Well, we have a Supreme Court decision on
that very issue that was handed down in nineteen forty eight,
and that decision went even further by saying that not
only does the president have the authority and four presidents
prior to Trump have done this, but there is once
(11:13):
the president makes that determination, there is no judicial review
for foreign nationals, none at all, whatsoever. Another federal judge
temporarily blocking the Trump administration from reclaiming billion dollar dollar
climate grants. I mean, if you look at it, you
have a list of Obama Biden judges working to sabotage
(11:34):
Trump's agenda. A Biden appointed judge, you know, blocking the Pentagon.
That's just the latest example on the issue of immigration.
New York State's highest court is ruled against New York
City's plan to allow non citizens to vote. Can you
even believe we're debating that in America? But we are
a six to one ruling. New York Court of Appeals
(11:54):
sided with Republicans that challenge the law, arguing that a
clause in the constitutions is that every citizen shall be
entitled to vote. It refers only to US citizens. Out
in California, after spending billions and billions and billions of
dollars on health care for illegals with medical Well, now
(12:15):
the governor still doesn't have enough money. I think what
was the number, ninety five billion dollars, an insane amount
of money. Now the governor is asking state lawmakers to
provide a two point eight billion dollar loan to cover
expenses for medical and the request was in addition to
the three point four billion dollar loan that Newsom borrowed
from the state earlier in March in order to make
(12:36):
payments for medical through the end of the month, totaling
six point two billion.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
And he says he won't end taxpayer backed health care
for illegal immigrants and they remain a sanctuary state.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
Tell me, oh that makes any sense my frustations.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Along with Sean Hennity Show Network, President Trump has just
stepped out and he is announcing the abolishment of the
Department of Education. And we will carry this in full
and we will continue through the break at the bottom
of the hour, so you can make your preparations. Here's
President Trump from the beginning.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Thank you very much, Elida, And I'd like to start
by saying that our country is doing very well. Things
are as you can see doing quite well, please sit down.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Before we begin.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
I just want to announce that I signed a proclamation
a few moments ago honoring the two hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of Patrick Henry's famous speech to the Second Virginia Convention,
in which he declared very well known, very famous words,
give me liberty or give me death.
Speaker 4 (13:44):
Has anyone heard the phrase? I think most of you have.
Speaker 3 (13:52):
And moments ago I also signed an executive order to
dramatically increase production of critical minerals and rare earths.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
It's a big thing in this country.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
And as you know, we're also signing agreements in various
locations to unlock rare earths and minerals and lots of
other things all over the world, but in particular Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
We're doing very well with regard to Ukraine and Russia.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
And one of the things we are doing is signing
a deal very shortly with respect to rare earth with Ukraine,
which they have tremendous value in rare earth, and we
appreciate that. And we spoke yesterday with as you know,
President Putin and President Zelenski, and we would love to
see that come to an end. And I think we're
(14:40):
doing pretty well in that regard, So hopefully you could
save thousands of people a week from dying.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
That's what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
They're dying so unnecessarily. And I believe we'll get it done.
We'll see what happens, but I believe we'll get it done.
Today we take a very historic action that was forty
five years in the making. In a few moments, I
will sign an executive order to begin eliminating the federal
(15:07):
Department of Education once and for all. And it sounds strange,
doesn't it. Department of Education. We're going to eliminate it.
And everybody knows it's right, and the Democrats know it's right,
(15:29):
and I hope they're going to be voting for it,
because ultimately it may come before them, but everybody knows
it's right.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
And we have to get our children educated.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
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,
(16:01):
thank you, thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (16:06):
That's another interesting statement.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
These are very It's an interesting opening, right, but it's true.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
And we people. It's been amazing how popular this has been.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I tell people that this is what I'm doing today,
and they say, oh, that's it's about time. Everybody says
Republicans and Democrats have said it. They're all saying it
also with us or some terrific people. Governors Greg Abbott, Greg,
thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (16:36):
Governor Ronda Santis, thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
Ron, Mike Braun, congratulations on your victory.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Mike, I was a big one.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Mike Dwine, thank you very much, Mike Jeff Landry Jeff,
thank you very much. Jack Billy, thank you. Governors all governors,
Brad Little.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Brad, thank you very much. Are you Brad high bred?
Jim Piland, Thank you very much, Jim and Kim Reynolds.
These are all.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
People very interested in education. And I even see Dan
Patrick over there, my friend Dan Patrick. We're joined also
by Representatives Tim Wahlberg and UH Virginia Fox, Rick Allen,
Michael Rooley, and again Dan Patrick, thank you very much. Dan,
(17:37):
You've been a great friend of ours. And State Attorneys
General Ken Paxson. Can I see you there? Andrew Bailey
Andrew what a job you've done. Andrew, you have some
good cases going.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
You've done a great job. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
And co founder of Moms for Liberty, Tiffany Justice.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
He's been a hard worker. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tiking.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
When President Carter created the Federal Education Department in nineteen
seventy nine, it was opposed by members of his own cabinet,
as well as the American Federation of Teachers, the New
York Times editorial Board, and the famed Democrat Senator Daniel
Patrick moynihan. History has proven them right, absolutely right. After
(18:27):
forty five years, the United States spends more money on
education by far than any other country, and spends likewise,
by far more money per pupil than any country.
Speaker 4 (18:39):
And it's not even close.
Speaker 3 (18:40):
But yet we ranked near the bottom of the.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
List in terms of success.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
It's an amazing stat that's those are two stats.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
You don't want.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
The most money spent per pupil, and you're at the bottom.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
Of the list.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
And that's where we are, like it or not, and
we've been there for a long time. Seventy percent of
eighth graders are not pro efficient in either reading or
in math. Seventy percent forty percent of fourth grade is
lack even basic reading.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Skills, can't read.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Students in our public elementary and middle schools score worse
in reading today than when the department opened. By a
lot in Baltimore, forty percent of the high schools of
zero students who can do basic mathematics, not even the
very simplest of mathematics. I said, give me your definition
(19:30):
of basic, and they're talking about like adding a few
numbers together. Despite these breathtaking failures, the department's discretionary budget
is exploded by six hundred percent in a very short
period of time, and employees, bureaucrats, and buildings all over Washington,
d C. And as a former real estate person, I
(19:51):
will tell you I ride through the streets of Washington
and it says Department of Education, Department of Education. I said,
how do you fill those buildings? It's crazy what's happened
over the years. On police report that after offering these
federal employees two generous buy out options, and they were
very generous.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
And they're good people, but they.
Speaker 3 (20:13):
Were very generous, my administration has initiated a reduction in
force and we're already cutting numbers that were really surprising
to a lot that we were able to do it
so successfully, and we've cut the number of bureaucrats in
half fifty percent of taking office, such as under the
(20:38):
action I'm taking today, a small handful of Democrats and
others that we have employed for a long time, and
there are some Republicans, but not too many.
Speaker 4 (20:48):
I have to be honest with you.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
But the Department's useful functions and such as they're in
charge of them. Pel grants Title I funding resources for
children with this abilities and special needs will be preserved,
fully preserved. They're all going to be so if you
look at the pelgrims supposed to be a very good program.
Title one funding and resources for children with special disabilities
(21:14):
and special needs. They are going to be preserved and
full and redistributed to various other agencies and departments that.
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Will take very good care of them.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
And it's very important to Linda, I know, and it's
very important to all of us. But beyond these core necessities,
my administration.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Will take all lawful.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Steps to shut down the department. We're going to shut
it down and shut it down as quickly as possible.
It's doing us no good. We want to return our
students to the states where just some of the governors
here are so happy about this. They want education to
come back to them, to come back to the states, and.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
They're going to do a phenomenal job.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
You know, if you look Denmark, Norway, Sweden, I have
to tell you credit, China is a top ten and
so we can't now say that bigness is making it
impossible to educate because China is very big. But you
have countries that do a very good job in education.
And I really believe, like some of the governors here
(22:15):
today from states that run very very well, including a
big state like Texas, but states that run very well
are going to have education that will be as good
as Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and those top Finland, those top
countries that do so well with education.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I think they'll do every bit as well. And what
do you think about that, Governor, Do you agree? I
think so, Ron, Do you.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Agree, I think so, Florida, Iowa.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (22:45):
I really believe that they'll be as good as any
of them. And then you'll have some laggards and we'll
work with them. And we can all tell you who
the laggards will be. Right now, probably but let's not
get into that. But we'll work with them. We're going
to make them.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
They'll do a job.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
I think they'll do a job, and they'll go to
sections of the state.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
For instance, in New York, you'll have a Manhattan and you'll.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Have a Suffolk County, and you'll have Nassau County, and
you have Westchester County.
Speaker 4 (23:14):
You'll do four or five or six of them.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
You have upstate New York and those counties I think
are going to do very well. And I think ultimately
Manhattan should do very well. But we'll break it down
into sections and I think it'll be really really good,
and they're going to be probably the tougher ones, but
I think they have a chance to do really well.
But we're going to be returning education very simply back
(23:37):
to the states where it belongs.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
And this is a.
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Very popular thing to do, but much more importantly, it's
a common sense thing to do, and it's going to work.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Absolutely, it's going to work.
Speaker 3 (23:48):
And I can tell you from dealing with the governors
and others in the state, they want it so badly.
They want to take their children back and really teach
their children individually. Probably the cost will be half and
the education will be maybe many many times better. So
(24:08):
we look forward to this. I want to just make
one little personal statement.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Teachers, to me.
Speaker 3 (24:13):
Are among the most important people in this country. And
we're going to take care of our teachers. And I
don't care if they're in the Union or not in
the Union.
Speaker 4 (24:22):
That doesn't matter. But we're going to take care of
our teachers. And I believe, I believe.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
The States will take actually better care.
Speaker 4 (24:30):
Of them than there than they are taken care of
right now.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
They'll work all sorts of systems and even merit systems.
Speaker 4 (24:37):
Those great teachers are going to.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Be maybe a little bit better rewarded, and maybe that's
the way it should be, but the states are going
to make that decision.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
But we're going to love and cherish our teachers.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Along with our children, and they're going to work with
the parents, and they're going to work with everybody else,
and it's going to be an amazing thing to watch,
and it's really going to be something special. And Linda,
you're presiding over something that's so important and you're going
to do a fantastic job, just like you have your
whole life. I know, your whole life I've been watching you.
I've been watching you for a long time. She's had
(25:08):
nothing but success. So it's tremendous to have you. And
hopefully you won't be there too long, but we're going
to find something else for you, lind Okay, So this
will conclude what.
Speaker 4 (25:20):
We are talking about with respect to our.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Most cherished group of people, and that's our children. We
want to have our children well educated. We want them
to love going to school.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
We have examples of it.
Speaker 3 (25:34):
Look at those beautiful, bright eyed faces.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
Those they are so smart. They're so smart.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
And with that, I'm going to come down and we're
going to sign a very important document and.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
We're going to be on our way.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
People have wanted to do this for many many years,
for many many decades, and I don't know no president
ever got around to doing it, but I'm getting around
to doing it, So thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Now is walking over.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
There's a group of students, and he is about to
sign what is the dismantling of the Department of Education,
which is pretty amazing. He does speak, but he doesn't
really have a microphone in front of him. But we'll
see if we can listen in yeah, anyway, we'll get
(26:30):
your calls in here. I know a lot of you
want the Department of Education dismantled. Anyway, if you want
to give us a call, we'll take calls now eight
hundred and nine four one, Sean. If you want to
be a part of the program, A reminder to please.
I really do want everybody to get a chance to
win our tesla. I really do. I don't know why
(26:51):
I love giving away free stuff. We should, probably, Linda,
why don't we do it more often? We should do
this more often?
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Love to give?
Speaker 5 (27:00):
Do you want to start with me and just use
me as an example? I am willing to you know,
I'm willing.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
To do that tech I don't know technically if you're
allowed to sign up, are you?
Speaker 1 (27:09):
I have no idea what the lawyers say.
Speaker 5 (27:12):
I think that I have to talk to somebody who
probably is in control of the Sean Handity Show to
break Sean Handiti rules about not working at places that
are giving away free stuff and then getting the free stuff.
So if you know anybody that could you know massage that.
Speaker 6 (27:26):
Rule for me.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Oh, massage that rule.
Speaker 2 (27:28):
So you're basically telling me, oh, sorry, Sean, I'm not
really eligible.
Speaker 1 (27:32):
But I have no.
Speaker 5 (27:34):
Idea what you're saying that sounds crazy.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
I am just The reason I'm doing this is very simple.
Elon Musk has done nothing wrong, nothing to deserve what
people are doing to him, threatening his life, and now
they are doing everything they could possibly do to destroy
(27:57):
his business. He is only sir our country. We watched
and witnessed this week him save astronauts by the way
he created. He was the chief engineer of SpaceX. He
remains the chief engineer of SpaceX. He created. I'm speaking
now from experience, which I didn't have the single most
innovative car company in the entire world. Not everybody that
(28:22):
works for Elon Musk at Tesla, we have no idea
what their politics are. But now people, because of these
acts of domestic terrorism, threatening and doxing intimidation, they are
now threatening the jobs of people that work at the dealerships,
people that manufacture these cars, and threatening you know, people
(28:42):
that own and drive them.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
I mean, and this is a guy that I'm sorry,
what did you say in my ear?
Speaker 5 (28:50):
I want to give you an analogy, a really good one.
I've been thinking about it all day, and I was
thinking about when Biden and Harris were in office, and
conservatives were really outraged by all of the things that
were happening. Any pick any one thing, and there's just
so many. But we didn't express ourselves the way that
(29:10):
these people are. I mean, they're literally, I mean they're
taking away people's private property. It's it's just beyond the pail.
And then they have actors and elected officials going out
and doing the Tesla takedown and it's disgusting.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
So I was thinking of myself as exactly and yeah,
go ahead, But my point.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Is is, like, think about like Bezos, right, like when
Bezos was running Amazon, and or you know Bill Gates
or any of these people who have private companies and
decide that their philanthropic efforts is that they want to
support a certain candidate.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And we went out and.
Speaker 5 (29:47):
We were like, we're going to smash all of these
you know, windows, PCs. We're gonna rob Amazon trucks, we're
going to destroy people's boxes. We're going to take you know,
the porch, thee thing all the way to another level,
and we're going to destroy and mash it up and
smash your door because you have an Amazon delivery. Like
that's equivalent. I can't even like the left wing media
(30:07):
would have went crazy over us, and it's dead silent.
Speaker 2 (30:11):
They say nothing, only Rocanna. And he has a Tesla
manufacturing center in his district, the most innovative car company
in the world, self driving over a thousand horse powers,
zero to sixty and two point zero seconds and you
get your precious electric veal law. I've always been pro
choice for what car you want to drive. I'm now
(30:32):
choosing to drive this Tesla and choosing to give one away.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
I'm choosing.
Speaker 2 (30:37):
He helped Americans and needed communication when they'd had no
communication with the outside world after Hurricane Helene. He helped
people after the Pacific Palisades wildfires. And what did he do.
He aligned with Trump. That's his political, personal political view,
not the view of everyone at Tesla. Now those jobs
are in jeopardy. I'm paying career jobs for people. And
(30:59):
he identified over one hundred billion dollars in waste fraud
abuse in our government. And he's working to cure blindness
and enable people with spinal cord injuries to walk again.
And that what this is the way our country says
thank you. It is disgusting and it is repulsive. He's
done nothing wrong and by the way, if you go
to Hannity dot com every day, you can sign up
(31:21):
once a day throughout the contest. You just put in
the word of the day, which I give out on
the show. Today's word is freedom, and sign I want.
I want everyone that's listening to me. If you can't
do a way you're driving, unless you have a Tesla
and it's driving itself, just go to Hannity dot com.
Use the word of the day freedom, easy to remember,
and you signed up for today, and then you can
(31:43):
sign up again tomorrow with a new word of the day.
Speaker 1 (31:45):
It's really more simple.
Speaker 5 (31:47):
And one point of note when you submit online, guys,
if you have a computer that has an AD blocker
or a pop up blocker, the entranceform is not going
to open because it has to pop up, So you
need to disable that and then you'll be will enter.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Okay whatever that means. Do that.
Speaker 2 (32:05):
Let's go to our busy phones. Robin is in Alabama.
Hey Robin, how are you?
Speaker 6 (32:11):
I'm fine?
Speaker 7 (32:12):
Thank you for having me. I'm a former Alabama State
Teacher of the Year, former principal teacher, and I am
and I actually ran for Congress against Terry Sewell primarily
on this platform. To get rid of the Department of
(32:32):
Ed so that our kids, primarily the ones in the
lower income areas, can get the money going directly to
the schools and the systems so that they can be
serviced the way that they need to be.
Speaker 2 (32:51):
Well, I've got to tell you something. I will tell
you that this has been systemic failure. Systemic. Oh yeah, Now,
now we have an opportunity to fix it. And now
we're going to block rant the money. And I still
guarantee you this. You know, cities like New York and
Chicago and and you know these these you know LA
(33:14):
areas of LA and areas of San Francisco will still
screw it up. But the states, you know what, they're
gonna have a lot more money in states that have
been very efficient, like Florida, Utah, Idaho and others. Anyway,
Robin appreciated Dennis long Island. Next Sean Hennity Show.
Speaker 8 (33:29):
Hi Sean, thank you for taking my call. I am
a New York City special needs teacher. I've been doing
teen years and I got to tell you, I am
so happy that this is happening. But like you just said,
New York is going to be lollly gagging and I
(33:49):
think New York City deal we actually need a dose itself.
But you know a lot of things like we're you
know in the city. It's like, you know, I still
don't get enough money. I could use my own money
in New York City, which there's been billions of dollars
you know, pumped in here, so you know that I find,
(34:11):
you know, I really do like. And then the other
thing is, I'm from Long Island, Nassau County, where my
my my taxes are through the roof.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
You know.
Speaker 8 (34:21):
I think it's gonna be great if we could just
separate the.
Speaker 6 (34:23):
Counties and have their own little you know, their own.
Speaker 8 (34:28):
You know, their their own department of education, so they'll
be less likely of corruption and bureaucrats that are funneling
money just to themselves. So I just wanted to chime
in on that. Thank you for taking the call.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
We appreciate it, and thanks for being a good teacher.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
Uh Susan in Florida, my free state, Susan, we have
about a minute.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
It's all yours.
Speaker 7 (34:48):
You know a lot of things like we're you know
in your city.
Speaker 2 (34:52):
It's like, you know, uh, Susan, I know, but that's
why we're on. We're on delay because you're on the
show occasionally, and if you didn't say all those bad words,
we wouldn't need four hundred delayout minutes.
Speaker 5 (35:06):
All that's utter nonsense. Second of all, I was just
telling you in your ear that she had her radio
up here.
Speaker 1 (35:12):
I could hear a long time down Pat in New York.
You have about forty seconds ago.
Speaker 6 (35:22):
Sean, I am in the real New York that's upstate
New York Trump Country.
Speaker 1 (35:28):
I want are you still paying New York taxes? Too bad?
But anyway, glad you called No.
Speaker 6 (35:33):
There's two things that we need. We need to cut
New York off at about white Plains south, and we
need the electoral college for counties county by county. And
they'll never be a Democrat to win again in New York.
But I'm the tesla thing. As I was telling the
call streamer, I believe the reason this is all occurring
(35:53):
by the left, not so much the Democrats, it's the
left is because they're jealous of accomplishment. They're jealous of success.
They're going after Trump, they're going after Elon. They go
after people that do it the right way because they
don't know how to.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Well I'm going to tell you something.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
It's sad, you know, when we're never going to have
good people ever want to serve if this is how
we treat people that offer so much to us and
have done nothing wrong. It's a car company. As he said,
this is not a political statement. I mean liberals loved
it when when when it was you know, their favorite
(36:33):
car because it was electric and they wanted to force
electric vehicles into our driveways. I just believe in freedom
of choice, and now that I've come to learn about it,
I'm like, I'm all in. I love the technology of it.
It's fine. I'm gonna love that. I'll never have to,
you know, gass up and pay three bucks, four bucks
a gallon, whatever I pay anyway, I'll just go to
(36:55):
Hannity dot com. Word of the day is freedom and
sign up for your your Today's Chance to when you
can sign up once a day every day, find if
you're just joining us. President Donald Trump just signing an
executive order which is dismantling the Department of Education. I've
gone through as much. I'm going to show you on
TV tonight. We're going to lay it out on how
(37:16):
much money has been wasted spent, all the corruption that exists,
all of the failure that has been institutionalized, and why
this is such a great idea, and all the different
ways that states and local districts can better use this
money and focus in on reading, writing, math, history, science,
(37:39):
and computers and actually do a million times better job.
All right, when we come back, the ag of South
Carolina on all of these lawsuits against Donald Trump,
