You not celebrating these cuts?
Speaker 5 (00:22):
If you agree there is waste, if you agree there
is abuse, if you agree there is corruption.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Why are you not celebrating the cuts the reforms that
are being instituted.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
What I'm doing here, what present is doing is it's
just long term thinking. The shape of America must be strong,
so America cannot sink.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
If it sinks, we all sink with it.

Thanks Scott shan An Hour two Sean Hannity Show, toll free.
Our number is eight hundred and nine foot one Seawan.
(01:18):
If you want to be a part of the program.
By the way, thank you to everybody making this interview
with President Trump and Elon Musk such a success. It's
like off the chart numbers when you start including you know,
we're playing it on radio and on TV and on
the podcast and on Hannity dot com and Fox Nation
and and and Fox itself. Just off the charts. And
(01:41):
I'm very grateful, and I think it was important that
the country see this in light of all of the vicious, vile,
hateful attacks against somebody that's trying to expose waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption and doing it for free, and while
simultaneously doing incredible things to advance humanity. Uh but anyway,
here is more of my interview with President Trump and
(02:04):
Elon Musk from the White House.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
As I scrolled this information and it's it's I'll scroll
a lot more than I'll mention to both of you.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
And this is the cost savings.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I want you.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
I want people at home to understand this part. Average
America makes sixty six thousand dollars a year. Yeah, okay,
we have thirty seven trillion dollars in national debt. Now
all the money I'm about to mention and what we're
going to scroll on our screen.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
And all of this is going too feign countries.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
It is not being spent here in America for better schools,
law and order.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I think the average text paying Americans should be mad
as hell because their text money is being spent.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
All right, let me go to the next second question.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
First, I want to know because people like Joni Ernst
AND's tried for a long time and she's actually got
a lot of good data.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Center US has been really helpful.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Actually okay, but they they they actually hide what the
real purpose of the spending is. In other words, they
and this is a question, how did you decipher it?
Will say humanitarian blah blah blah in Serbia or Afghanistan.
(03:19):
We even give the money to China for crying out loud,
which I think is nuts.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, the Taliban, but money to the Taliban like a lot,
all right, So like for what? But I want to
see you pictures of what they did, but they try
to obscure it.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
But then you got to the bottom line, which is
what I'm now scrolling on the screen, and that is
twenty million on Assessame Street Show in Iraq, fifty six
million to boost tourism in Tunisia and Egypt. Forty million
to build schools in Jordan, eleven million to tell the
Vietnamese to stop burning trash, forty five million for DEI
(03:53):
scholarships in Burma, five hundred and twenty million for consultant
driven ESG and investments in Africa, uh DEI.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Programs in Serbia. The President's favorite.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I'm sure you you love that taxpayer money was spent
on a DEI musical in Ireland, or transgender opera in Colombia,
or a trend.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It sounds like it sounds like this.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
It sounds like, how can these things be real? But
this is actually what we've done. It sounds like a
comedy sketule. I have twenties pages, right, it's not a
list of mile long.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
If you had to put a number on it.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
How much do you think you've identified waste, fraud, abuse,
corruption at this point? And again we've been We're going
to be scrolling this throughout the program.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Well, the overall goal is to try to get a
trillion dollars out of the deficit, and if the deficit
is not brought under control, America will go bankrupt.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
This is a very important thing for people to understand.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
A country is no different from an individual in that
if an individual overspends, an individual can go bankrupt.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And so kind of country.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
And the massive wasteboard and abuse that has been going on,
which is leading to two trillion.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Dollar a year deficit.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
That's what the president was handed on Jen twenty the
two trillion dollar deficit.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's insane for this fiscal year too.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, we inherited. Yeah, and inflation is back. I'm only
here for two and a half weeks. That was inflation.
They're back now, think of it. Inflation's back. And they said,
oh Trump and fact I had nothing to do with it.
These people have run the country. They spent money like
nobody has ever spent. They were they were given nine
trillion dollars to throw out the window, nine trillion, and
(05:33):
they spent it on the green News scam.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Michael, it's the greatest scam.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
In the history of the country.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
One of them.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
We have a lot of them, I guess, but one
of them all dollar wise, probably eye.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
And woke ism, and well that's a part of it.
An LGBTQ plus. Yeah, by the way, not in America,
other countries, not here.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The amazing thing is when you see the the teaching
of DEI nine million dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
How do you spend nine million to teach no.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Matter what it is? You could teach physics, we could
go to m I. T's the teacher you're going to take.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
How much do you believe Elon you've identified and waste
for aud to us corruption now and how much do
you anticipate you will?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Sure? Well, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Because it's so massive, it's this is huge money. So
what we found out was just as good as they are.
They're not going to find some contract that was cricket,
you know, crooked as hell.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I mean, there's going to be so much is.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
In fact, but what is that?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I think he's going to find a trillion dollars, But
I think it's a very small percentage compared to.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What it is.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Let me go to an area that I think is
key and and you talked about this in recent interviews,
and that is we don't need a Department of education, okay,
And what some people are trying to do with stoke
fears that oh my gosh, my kid's not to get
the money for education or grandma and social security and medicare.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
This is a big promise of yours on the campaign trail.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So I really want to.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Give you both an opportunity to assure the American people
you will keep money will be allocated for students, but
with higher standards. For example, I would assume associated with
money is given or just.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
So much and then Elon goes.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But look, social security won't be touched other than it
is brought or something. We're going to find. It's going
to be strengthened, but won't be touched. Medicare, Medicaid, none
of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Is going to be touched. Nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I want you to have to now, if there are
illegal migrants.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
In the system, we're going to get them out of
the system and all of that fraud, but it's not
going to be touched.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
School.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I want to bring school back to the States, so
that Iowa, Indiana, all these places, Idaho, New Hampshire. There's
so many places in the States. I figured thirty five
really run well. And right now it's Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, China, China.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Can you imagine has top top schools. We're less. So
they have a list of forty countries, we're number forty.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Usually we're thirty eight thirty and the last time, we
were number forty. And what I say is you got
to give it best so it doesn't work. I'll tell
you what, we're number one in costs per pupil. We
spend more money than any of the country by far.
It's not even close per pupil. Okay, so we know
it doesn't work, So we spend the most. We have
the worst right, the worst result when we give that,
(08:39):
when we give that back to Indiana, when we give
that back to Iowa, and back to a lot of
the states that run well, they run well, a lot
of them thirty five, thirty seven, thirty eight. Now you're
going to have ten laggards, but you're gonna have five
real laggards.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But that's going to be okay. Take New York. You
give it to west Chester.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
County, you give it to County, you give it to
Upstate New York, and you give it to Manhattan, but
you give it to four or five sub sections.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Same thing in California.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Los Angeles is going to be a problem, but you're
going to give it to places that run well. We
can change education. Now, school choice is important, but that
will get care of taking care of automatically. We want
to bring education. Back to the States, you will spend
half the numbers. I'm not even doing this. I'm not
(09:30):
even I'm not even doing this to say, but you
will say. It cost you much less money. You get
a much better education. If you go to some of
these states, you'll be the equivalent of Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
places that really have a good school system. You'll have
those places will be the equipment, and your overall numbers
will get so much better.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You want standards associated.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The only thing I want to do from Washington, DC
is make sure they're teaching.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
English, reading, writing, and Ryan sick science.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Okay, little science might hope you know computers.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
You're not gonna have much of a problem with that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But that's it.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
So your your task now, and I pray to God
this is successful, I really do.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I wish you God's speed, you know, God speed.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
John Glenny is.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Going to be by the way, I really believe.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But there is a country are well beside this. This
is cutting. We're only talking about cutting. We're also going
to make a lot of money. We're going to we're
taking in.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
So what about his business? What if if there is
then we all contract? He would otherwise do.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It he's got a conflict. I mean, look, he's in
certain areas. I mean, I see this morning. I didn't
know if I said, do the right thing where they're
cutting way back on the.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Electric vehicle subsidies.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
They're cutting back, not only cutting back, don't you Yeah, Now,
I wouldn't tell you. Well, he's probably not that happy
with it, but that would have been one thing. He
would have come to me and say, listen, you got
to do me your favorite. This is crazy. But this
was in the tax bill. They're cutting back on the substies.
I didn't I wasn't involved in it. I said do
(11:08):
what's right and you get and they're coming up with
a text. But it's just preliminary. But I mean, if
he were involved, wouldn't you think he'd probably do that. Now,
maybe he does better if you cut back on the subsidies.
Who knows, because he figures, he does think differently. He
thinks he has a better product and as long as
he has a level playing field, he doesn't care what
you do.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Which he's told me that.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah. I mean, I haven't asked the president for anything ever.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
And if it comes up, how will you handle it?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Well, he won't be involved yeah, I'll accuse myself if
it is.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
If there's a conflict, he won't be involved. I mean
I wouldn't want that and he won't want it.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Right.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
And also I'm getting a sort of a daily proptology
examp here. You know, it's like I'll be getting away
from something in the dead of night.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Welcome to DC.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
If you want a friend and get a dog, well
I do have a dog, but I also have friends.
My dog loves me.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The truth was.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Every businessman I know, the good ones, the bad ones,
the smart ones, the lucky ones.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
This guy's a very he's a brilliant guy. He's a
great guy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
He's got tremendous imagination and scientific imagine far beyond. You know,
you keep talking about a technologist and all, but you're
much more than a technologist.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You are that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But he's also a good person. He's a very good person,
and he wants to see the country do well. And
I know a lot of great business people, really great
business people, but you know they're not really in some
cases very good people. And I know people that would
try and take advantage of the situation. This guy is
somebody that really cares for the country. And I saw
that very early on. I sort really a long time
(12:39):
ago when I got to know him. He's a very
different kind of a character. That's why you know who
loves him, young people that are very smart and that
love the country.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So people ask me like, what's what's the what's the
what's like the what's your biggest surprise in DC?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And I'm like, the sheer scale, it's massive. So you
love the challenge? Well, never do point, that's the only
thing you can say, you'll never do it.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I mean, you do something slightly better and you save
billions of dollars for the American tax payer, just slightly
better when you just tech support, you got one percent better,
and it's like, you know, tens of billions of dollars
saved to the American tax payer. If I may address
the point that you question you asked earlier, which is,
you know, how do we assure people they want to know? Yea,
how do we assure people that we're going to do
the right thing, that there, that their social security benefits
(13:26):
will be there, that the medical care will be good,
and and and and in fact, how do we make
it and shure that there's better medical care in the future,
how do we improve that benefits, How do we make
sure that the social security check goes further than in
the past, and not it doesn't get weak and by inflation.
So the if we address the massive deaths of spending,
(13:49):
the sort of the waste in the government, then then
that we can.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Actually address inflation.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
So it's provided the economy grows faster than the money supply,
which means you stop the government over spending and the
waste and the output of real useful goods and services
exceeds the increase in the money supply, you have no inflation.
And you also drop the interest payments that that people
pay because if the government waves you high. Yes, the
(14:17):
reason the interest payments are so high is because the
national debt keeps increasing, so the government is competing for
to sell debt with with the private citizens.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
This drives up the interest rate. So if you have
if you have a.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
If you cut back on the deficit, you actually have
an amazing situation for people because you get you get
rid of inflation, and you drop the interest rates, and
that means people's mortgage payments go down, the credit card
payments go down, their car payments go down, their student
loans go down. Everything their their life becomes more affordable,
and they're.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Start up living improved quickly, because I think people are
suffering now you are still living under the bids.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
And you have states right now, you have some states
that operate that way. They operate as well as any corporation.
They really operate well.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
They have surp pluses that they example, when they look
at New York and California and some of these places
that should have an advantage. I mean there's a big advantage.
Or Pritzgard does such a bad job in Illinois, it's horrible.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
How bad he is, and they don't have that advantage.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
You know, New York has stock exchange and lots of things.
In California has the weather and the beautiful water.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Or yeah, but like Florida.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
But some states operate the way he's talking efficiently.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
When you go into some of these states, you're going
to find very little. You're gonna find almost nothing. They
really operate well, big surpluses, low taxes.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
And my taxes went up the first time you were
president because you took.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Away the salt deduction.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Well, which by the way, I thought was the right decision.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
It was the right decision.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
In fact, Reagan tried to do it because it rewards
badly run.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
We'll come back. We'll continue more of my interview with
President Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk. Then we'll get
to your calls coming up. Eight hundred and nine four
one Sean. If you want to be a part of
the program, all right, twenty five till the top of
the hour. Eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn is
our number, if you want to be a part of
the program. I love this company so much, I wish
I thought of it because they do incredible work. They
(16:23):
have helped millions and millions of families protect and preserve
all of these priceless family memories. And it's called Legacy Box.

your closets, your basement, You're gonna go into the garage.
You're gonna have other family members do the same, and
you're gonna find every family memory that is now fading
away at you know, vulnerable to things like heat, moisture, mold.
And that means every cam quod er, tape, VHS, tape,
film reels, if you had them, fading photos, negatives, if
(17:07):
you still have them, and you're gonna put them in
the box and you're gonna get everything back, all the
originals back, but you will be serving in saving im
perpetuity all these family memories. Think how cool it will
be when you get digitized memories and you can sit
around with your family and watch old family movies and
look at photos and maybe see and hear from people
(17:28):
the loved ones that have passed away over the years.
And then think about the future. We don't like to
think about our kids and grandkids. What about your great

calls in just a few more minutes. We have a
few minutes left of President Trump and Elon Musk and
then your calls coming up. We'll get right to the
phones in a few minutes. Eight hundred and ninety four
(18:11):
to one, Shawn our number.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
As we continue, how quickly you balance the budget and
when do we start paying down that?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, potentially very quickly, between what he's doing and with
income coming in from tariffs.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And other things.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I mean, I hope we can. I don't want to
give a date because then these people are going to say, oh, well,
he didn't make the date. But I think we can
do it very quickly. We would have never done it
if this didn't happen never, it would have never been.
It would only get worse and worse, and ultimately it
would have exploded.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
This country was headed down a very bad track.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And the whole DEI thing that was that was a trap.
That was a sick trap. And you know we've destroyed that.
That's gone. That's pretty much gone.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I agree, it's not what we we're not funding it.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I really want to emphasize to people that this is
a very important point. If we don't solve the deficit,
there won't be money for medical care, they won't be
money for social security.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We either solve the deficit or all we'll be doing
is paying debt.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Nobody said it's got to be solved or there's no
medical care, there's no solid securities, no nothing. There's got
to be solved. It's not optional. America will go bankrupt
if this is not done. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
The President of Europe takes advantage.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
And I will also just send a message to like
because as President said, like this, there's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Rich people out there. They should be caring more about
the country.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Because the reason you be caring about more about the
countries in America falls. What do you think is going
to happen to your business? What do you think do
you think if we're going to be okay? If the
ship of America thinks of course, not like what what? What?
What I'm doing here, what the President's doing is it's
just long term thinking. The ship of America must be strong,
so America cannot sing. If it sinks, we all sink with.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
It is what drives you.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
This is important, It says tech support so you're not
trying to be president, as the media suggests. You are
really here because your heart and your passion is this,
and the President described you as being this is the
biggest thing you've ever done.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Now you're trying to bring side.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
It could be nothing bigger.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
You're sending ships up to the Mars, you know, spaceships
up in the sky all the time, and saving astronauts.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
That's pretty big. Has compared to penuts. You agree with that, Well,
it's just it's essentral that America be healthy, that America's
economy be strong, and.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
If that basically it's like I considers, like if America
is the central pillar holding up Western civilization, that pillar
must be strong.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
That pillar falls, the whole roof comes crashing down.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
There's no to hideas run nothing, there's nothing left.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Why if this is your goal, your motivation, you're losing
money in the process. You're offering you do all these
nice things for people for free. You're trying to solve
you know, blindness. You're going to rescue your astronauts. You
help the people in North Carolina, California. You're cutting money
that was sent abroad, does not helping the American people.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
But why rat it was and hurting people overseas to
whitest rage against you.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Now, first they hated him, now they hate both of you.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Well, I think we're seeing an antibody reaction from from
those who are receiving the wasteful and fraudulent money.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
They're being exposed.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yes, nobody wants to be exposed with I'll tell you
a lesson I learned at PayPal. You know who complained
the loudest, uh, and the quickest, and the loudest and
with the most amount of righteous indignation the fraudsters. That's
who complained first, loudest, and they would generally have this
immense overreaction. That's how we knew there were the Fordstess.
(21:56):
That's how we knew. That's to tell what.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
I've never met you before today, and it's nice to
meet you. By the way, then thank you for doing this.
You guys are really friends. You guys, I could see
you kicking up your show.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
He doesn't do this kind of thing. And the way
I figured that you get to know him is if
I did it with him. I said, come on, let's
do it together.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
He doesn't do this.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I think he's smart enough doing it overall, because you know,
I mean, he's done very well without doing it, but
he doesn't feel it's really worthwhile. He wants the product
to speak for itself or whatever. He does speak for itself,
but he've views it as you know, does it matter?
And I'm doing this with you today because I wanted
to have people understand him, and I think it's very important.
(22:42):
I disagree with him and that I think it's very
important that they do understand him. He doesn't need this,
He doesn't need it now. I happen to think it's
made him very popular. I think he's more popular now
because there are so many people. You know, you're talking
about the radical left. They have the lowest ratings. Ms
NBC is dying, CNN is dying.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
They're all dying.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The New York Times is doing.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
A lousy The Washington Post is doing horribly.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
They're all doing badly because people don't buy it anymore.
But I think it was important that he do this
one interview. You've been a very fair guy. I think
you were the right guy to do it. If we
could get some radical left guy, and they do just
as well, frankly.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Because it's it's all about common sense.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
On constant shure. To me, this was anxious Who's important
for people to understand. He's doing a big job. He's
doing a very thankless job. It's really a thankless job.
But he's helping us to save our country. Our country
is in serious trouble. And I had to get the
best guy, somebody with credibility, because if he were just
a regular good, very good, solid businessman, he wouldn't have
(23:53):
the credibility. He's got the best credibility for this, and
people also know he's an honest guy.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
He's an honest guy.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
He's just a very very smart guy who's done amazing things,
and this will be the biggest thing he's ever done,
because you know, his companies are all great. But if
this country goes bad, I guess where he is a
little selfish? Is this?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
He knows one thing and probably doesn't think.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
But if this country goes bad, his stuff is not
going to be worth very much.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I can tell you that's if the shape of America sinks,
rulebo going down with it. You know, this idea that
people can escape to New Zealand or some other place
is false. If the central pillar of Western civilization that
is America falls the whole.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Roof comes crashing down and there is no escape. Do
you anticipate you'll be here four years?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
My last question, I'll be as helpful as long as
I can be helpful.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I mean I was thinking about it, and I wonder
how long he's going to be doing it. You can't
get somebody like this. He cares, and he's brilliant, and
he's got energy. You need energy also in addition to
those other you don't have a lot of guys that
are very smart, but they have no energy. They want
to sleep all day. Look, you need a lot of energy.
You've got a lot of energy. He's doing a great job.
(25:08):
If there's any conflict, he will stop it. But if
he didn't stop it, i'd see if there's a conflict.
I mean we're talking about big stuff, but he's under
a pretty big microscope.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I mean, everybody's watching him.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
If there's a conflict, you're going to be reading about
it with it about two minutes.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
After the conflict.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
There's the possibility of me getting away something is zero percent,
zero point zero. I've scrutinized to a ridiculous degree. And
the other thing is that we're you know what, what's
you know What's better than saying trust trust me is
just full transparency. So what we're doing with the doors
door just go to doorstock of you can see every
single action that's being taken.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And now I don't want to clear We're all going
to make some mistakes.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
We're not going to be perfect, nobody bats a thousand,
but we're going to fix the mistakes very quickly. That's
what matters, not that you don't make mistakes, but they
fix the mistakes very fast.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All right. Anyway, if you want the full interview, unedited, interrupted,
you can get on Hannity dot com. We got it
up on x We've got it on Fox Nation dot com.
We're putting it everywhere, and thank all of you. It
was such a great experience. I will tell you that
I just hate what they're doing to a guy that
(26:19):
is volunteering and foregoing lots of money and taking abuse
for it, and all he's trying to do is help us,
help the country. It's just so disgusting. All right, quick
break right back. We'll hit the phones eight hundred and
nine four one Shaw on our number. If you want
to be a part of the program. Did you ever
wonder how it's possible that we pay more per capita
(26:40):
for student than any other industrialized country with the worst results.
This came up in my interview with Elon Musk and
President Trump and his desire to you know, change how
we do education in this country and block ranting or
vouchers or you know, all the different ways to innovative
ideas to better spend money on our kids in school
(27:01):
and anyway it's gonna happen, but it is. It is
another national travesty. This holy alliance between teachers' unions and
Democrats has to be broken. Only come back on the
other side. We're gonna debate that. We'll also get more
of your calls in eight hundred nine four one, Shawn,
as we roll along, the.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
for the final hour Free for all on the Sean
Hannity Show. Let's go to our busy phones. Eight hundred
ninety four one. Sean at the top of the hour,
(27:48):
how do we fix America's broken educational system? Now that
Donald Trump says the Department of Education needs to go
as soon as possible. Joni in Long Island, New York,
my former home town. How are you, Joni? What's going on?
Speaker 8 (28:02):
John? How are you?
Speaker 2 (28:04):
Where in Long Island are you?
Speaker 4 (28:06):
Where are you Massapequa?
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Oh my gosh, I have so many friends from Massapequa.
But what's on your mind today? Glad you called mine?
Speaker 5 (28:14):
Ivy.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I do miss friends in Long Island and uh uh
I love my friends. They're all saying the same thing
though they're getting the hell out.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
I don't blame you. I don't blame you.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well though, Bruce Blakeman's doing a good job. You're in
Nasau County, right, Nasa County. Yeah, yeah, he's doing a
great job.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Hey is I'm happy, but still things that I wish
were better? But you know, great show with Elon and Trump, fantastic,
Thank you, But I'm actually calling for a favor.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
What do you need?
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Your pen?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Linda put you up to this, don't lie, Linda put
you up to this because I click it a lot.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
No.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
I I watch you faithfully every night, and I'm like,
oh my god, if I can go there and rip
that pen out of his hands, I would myself. She goes,
you could actually tell them, all.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Right, I will, I will try and take your request.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
But I knew that I've had a co host named
Ballpoint and we just all want you to retire him.
You know we had enough of columns you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I know you put her up to this, but.
Speaker 9 (29:21):
To this, let me tell you something. She's a strong
aisle woman. She don't need me.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Huh, got it.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
But it is to be honest with you. It's it's
like when I watch and you have an interview and
someone else is talking, I'm actually hear it. So he
had a click, and I'm like, I get anxious. I
want to rip the pen out of your hand.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Well, I'll tell you what. You know, the last thing
I want to do is irritate my audience. Irritating Linda
is a whole different ballgame. I like irritating her.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Why don't you tell her what we gave you as
a gift when we were there for the inauguration.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Well, I don't have it. I don't know where it is,
but I'm going to get a non clicky pen. I
don't know, I don't even know. I'm doing it. To
be very honest with you, I know that I.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Know you don't and I don't know if it's a
nervous happen. It's just a security. You have the pen
in your hand, which is fine. Just change pens.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Don't get a clicker, all right, Linda's gonna send me, Sean,
Linda is going to send me one hundred non clickie pens.
And when you see it, and if you can get
a decent color this time instead of a disgusting pinky.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
You didn't like lavender? I thought lavender was it color?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Lavender is not my color? No, no, all right, I
will stop, But I hope you like the interview in
spite of that.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
It was fantastic. And it's not just I really didn't
hear it serving that interview, but it's on a regular
basis on the show. But awesome, awesome interview. And I
hope a lot of people who you know, were on
the fence and were ensoyed that they watched it because
it was very educational and just to see that. I
really truly feel they are there for us, and I
(30:55):
never had that feeling before from anyone, any any political figure,
So I loved it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
They are supposed to be public servants, right, They're supposed
to serve us, And what Dooses has exposed? I keep
saying it shocks the conscience. Every American should be angry
and frustrated. And really it's just at a level that
we never thought would happen. But Jony, Long Island, and
(31:24):
I'm not making funny because I grew up there, But
God bless you, and yes, Linda will send me one
hundred non clickie pens, and and.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
I'm sure you will lose ninety nine of them just
by accident.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Well then you can get me another hundred, but I
will throw out all the clicki ones and in your
honor only because you asked, although I think you will
put up to it, but that's a different story. Thank you,
Joni eight hundred nine four one. Sean if you want
to be a part of the program,
Well, we'll come in to your city.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Wanna way, I get sas and saying.
Speaker 3 (00:08):
You a conscious cell.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Will be desire, how little tail.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
And if you want a little bang in your yunire.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
And come along, Steven.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
I don't think anybody, why are.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
You not celebrating these cuts?
Speaker 5 (00:22):
If you agree there is waste, if you agree there
is abuse, if you agree there is corruption.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Why are you not celebrating the cuts the reforms that
are being instituted.
Speaker 5 (00:31):
What I'm doing here, what present is doing is it's
just long term thinking. The shape of America must be strong,
so America cannot sink.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
If it sinks, we all sink with it.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
The Musk is going to go to Mars, so he
doesn't care what happens to the planet.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Trado. Is that in style?
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Welcome to the revolution that we come in to your city.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Go wana way, I get salas and saying you a
conscious cell. Sean Hennity Show More I'm the Scenes, information
on breaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Thanks Scott shan An Hour two Sean Hannity Show, toll free.
Our number is eight hundred and nine foot one Seawan.
(01:18):
If you want to be a part of the program.
By the way, thank you to everybody making this interview
with President Trump and Elon Musk such a success. It's
like off the chart numbers when you start including you know,
we're playing it on radio and on TV and on
the podcast and on Hannity dot com and Fox Nation
and and and Fox itself. Just off the charts. And
(01:41):
I'm very grateful, and I think it was important that
the country see this in light of all of the vicious, vile,
hateful attacks against somebody that's trying to expose waste, fraud,
abuse and corruption and doing it for free, and while
simultaneously doing incredible things to advance humanity. Uh but anyway,
here is more of my interview with President Trump and
(02:04):
Elon Musk from the White House.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
As I scrolled this information and it's it's I'll scroll
a lot more than I'll mention to both of you.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
And this is the cost savings.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
I want you.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
I want people at home to understand this part. Average
America makes sixty six thousand dollars a year. Yeah, okay,
we have thirty seven trillion dollars in national debt. Now
all the money I'm about to mention and what we're
going to scroll on our screen.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
And all of this is going too feign countries.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
It is not being spent here in America for better schools,
law and order.
Speaker 5 (02:39):
I think the average text paying Americans should be mad
as hell because their text money is being spent.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
All right, let me go to the next second question.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
First, I want to know because people like Joni Ernst
AND's tried for a long time and she's actually got
a lot of good data.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Center US has been really helpful.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Actually okay, but they they they actually hide what the
real purpose of the spending is. In other words, they
and this is a question, how did you decipher it?
Will say humanitarian blah blah blah in Serbia or Afghanistan.
(03:19):
We even give the money to China for crying out loud,
which I think is nuts.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, the Taliban, but money to the Taliban like a lot,
all right, So like for what? But I want to
see you pictures of what they did, but they try
to obscure it.
Speaker 6 (03:32):
But then you got to the bottom line, which is
what I'm now scrolling on the screen, and that is
twenty million on Assessame Street Show in Iraq, fifty six
million to boost tourism in Tunisia and Egypt. Forty million
to build schools in Jordan, eleven million to tell the
Vietnamese to stop burning trash, forty five million for DEI
(03:53):
scholarships in Burma, five hundred and twenty million for consultant
driven ESG and investments in Africa, uh DEI.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Programs in Serbia. The President's favorite.
Speaker 6 (04:05):
I'm sure you you love that taxpayer money was spent
on a DEI musical in Ireland, or transgender opera in Colombia,
or a trend.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
It sounds like it sounds like this.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
It sounds like, how can these things be real? But
this is actually what we've done. It sounds like a
comedy sketule. I have twenties pages, right, it's not a
list of mile long.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
If you had to put a number on it.
Speaker 6 (04:27):
How much do you think you've identified waste, fraud, abuse,
corruption at this point? And again we've been We're going
to be scrolling this throughout the program.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Well, the overall goal is to try to get a
trillion dollars out of the deficit, and if the deficit
is not brought under control, America will go bankrupt.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
This is a very important thing for people to understand.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
A country is no different from an individual in that
if an individual overspends, an individual can go bankrupt.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
And so kind of country.
Speaker 5 (04:54):
And the massive wasteboard and abuse that has been going on,
which is leading to two trillion.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Dollar a year deficit.
Speaker 5 (05:03):
That's what the president was handed on Jen twenty the
two trillion dollar deficit.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
It's insane for this fiscal year too.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah, we inherited. Yeah, and inflation is back. I'm only
here for two and a half weeks. That was inflation.
They're back now, think of it. Inflation's back. And they said,
oh Trump and fact I had nothing to do with it.
These people have run the country. They spent money like
nobody has ever spent. They were they were given nine
trillion dollars to throw out the window, nine trillion, and
(05:33):
they spent it on the green News scam.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Michael, it's the greatest scam.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
In the history of the country.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
One of them.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
We have a lot of them, I guess, but one
of them all dollar wise, probably eye.
Speaker 6 (05:41):
And woke ism, and well that's a part of it.
An LGBTQ plus. Yeah, by the way, not in America,
other countries, not here.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
The amazing thing is when you see the the teaching
of DEI nine million dollars.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
How do you spend nine million to teach no.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
Matter what it is? You could teach physics, we could
go to m I. T's the teacher you're going to take.
Speaker 6 (06:06):
How much do you believe Elon you've identified and waste
for aud to us corruption now and how much do
you anticipate you will?
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Sure? Well, I think.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Because it's so massive, it's this is huge money. So
what we found out was just as good as they are.
They're not going to find some contract that was cricket,
you know, crooked as hell.
Speaker 4 (06:32):
I mean, there's going to be so much is.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
In fact, but what is that?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
I think he's going to find a trillion dollars, But
I think it's a very small percentage compared to.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
What it is.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Let me go to an area that I think is
key and and you talked about this in recent interviews,
and that is we don't need a Department of education, okay,
And what some people are trying to do with stoke
fears that oh my gosh, my kid's not to get
the money for education or grandma and social security and medicare.
Speaker 4 (07:04):
This is a big promise of yours on the campaign trail.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
So I really want to.
Speaker 6 (07:09):
Give you both an opportunity to assure the American people
you will keep money will be allocated for students, but
with higher standards. For example, I would assume associated with
money is given or just.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
So much and then Elon goes.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But look, social security won't be touched other than it
is brought or something. We're going to find. It's going
to be strengthened, but won't be touched. Medicare, Medicaid, none
of that stuff.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Is going to be touched. Nothing.
Speaker 4 (07:37):
I want you to have to now, if there are
illegal migrants.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
In the system, we're going to get them out of
the system and all of that fraud, but it's not
going to be touched.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
School.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
I want to bring school back to the States, so
that Iowa, Indiana, all these places, Idaho, New Hampshire. There's
so many places in the States. I figured thirty five
really run well. And right now it's Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, China, China.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Can you imagine has top top schools. We're less. So
they have a list of forty countries, we're number forty.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
Usually we're thirty eight thirty and the last time, we
were number forty. And what I say is you got
to give it best so it doesn't work. I'll tell
you what, we're number one in costs per pupil. We
spend more money than any of the country by far.
It's not even close per pupil. Okay, so we know
it doesn't work, So we spend the most. We have
the worst right, the worst result when we give that,
(08:39):
when we give that back to Indiana, when we give
that back to Iowa, and back to a lot of
the states that run well, they run well, a lot
of them thirty five, thirty seven, thirty eight. Now you're
going to have ten laggards, but you're gonna have five
real laggards.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
But that's going to be okay. Take New York. You
give it to west Chester.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
County, you give it to County, you give it to
Upstate New York, and you give it to Manhattan, but
you give it to four or five sub sections.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
Same thing in California.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Los Angeles is going to be a problem, but you're
going to give it to places that run well. We
can change education. Now, school choice is important, but that
will get care of taking care of automatically. We want
to bring education. Back to the States, you will spend
half the numbers. I'm not even doing this. I'm not
(09:30):
even I'm not even doing this to say, but you
will say. It cost you much less money. You get
a much better education. If you go to some of
these states, you'll be the equivalent of Norway, Sweden, Denmark,
places that really have a good school system. You'll have
those places will be the equipment, and your overall numbers
will get so much better.
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You want standards associated.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
The only thing I want to do from Washington, DC
is make sure they're teaching.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
English, reading, writing, and Ryan sick science.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Okay, little science might hope you know computers.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
You're not gonna have much of a problem with that.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
But that's it.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
So your your task now, and I pray to God
this is successful, I really do.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
I wish you God's speed, you know, God speed.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
John Glenny is.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Going to be by the way, I really believe.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
But there is a country are well beside this. This
is cutting. We're only talking about cutting. We're also going
to make a lot of money. We're going to we're
taking in.
Speaker 6 (10:28):
So what about his business? What if if there is
then we all contract? He would otherwise do.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
It he's got a conflict. I mean, look, he's in
certain areas. I mean, I see this morning. I didn't
know if I said, do the right thing where they're
cutting way back on the.
Speaker 4 (10:44):
Electric vehicle subsidies.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
They're cutting back, not only cutting back, don't you Yeah, Now,
I wouldn't tell you. Well, he's probably not that happy
with it, but that would have been one thing. He
would have come to me and say, listen, you got
to do me your favorite. This is crazy. But this
was in the tax bill. They're cutting back on the substies.
I didn't I wasn't involved in it. I said do
(11:08):
what's right and you get and they're coming up with
a text. But it's just preliminary. But I mean, if
he were involved, wouldn't you think he'd probably do that. Now,
maybe he does better if you cut back on the subsidies.
Who knows, because he figures, he does think differently. He
thinks he has a better product and as long as
he has a level playing field, he doesn't care what
you do.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Which he's told me that.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
Yeah. I mean, I haven't asked the president for anything ever.
Speaker 6 (11:31):
And if it comes up, how will you handle it?
Speaker 5 (11:34):
Well, he won't be involved yeah, I'll accuse myself if
it is.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
If there's a conflict, he won't be involved. I mean
I wouldn't want that and he won't want it.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Right.
Speaker 5 (11:42):
And also I'm getting a sort of a daily proptology
examp here. You know, it's like I'll be getting away
from something in the dead of night.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Welcome to DC.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
If you want a friend and get a dog, well
I do have a dog, but I also have friends.
My dog loves me.
Speaker 7 (11:57):
You know.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
The truth was.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Every businessman I know, the good ones, the bad ones,
the smart ones, the lucky ones.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
I know.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
This guy's a very he's a brilliant guy. He's a
great guy.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
He's got tremendous imagination and scientific imagine far beyond. You know,
you keep talking about a technologist and all, but you're
much more than a technologist.
Speaker 4 (12:17):
You are that.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
But he's also a good person. He's a very good person,
and he wants to see the country do well. And
I know a lot of great business people, really great
business people, but you know they're not really in some
cases very good people. And I know people that would
try and take advantage of the situation. This guy is
somebody that really cares for the country. And I saw
that very early on. I sort really a long time
(12:39):
ago when I got to know him. He's a very
different kind of a character. That's why you know who
loves him, young people that are very smart and that
love the country.
Speaker 5 (12:48):
So people ask me like, what's what's the what's the
what's like the what's your biggest surprise in DC?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
And I'm like, the sheer scale, it's massive. So you
love the challenge? Well, never do point, that's the only
thing you can say, you'll never do it.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
I mean, you do something slightly better and you save
billions of dollars for the American tax payer, just slightly
better when you just tech support, you got one percent better,
and it's like, you know, tens of billions of dollars
saved to the American tax payer. If I may address
the point that you question you asked earlier, which is,
you know, how do we assure people they want to know? Yea,
how do we assure people that we're going to do
the right thing, that there, that their social security benefits
(13:26):
will be there, that the medical care will be good,
and and and and in fact, how do we make
it and shure that there's better medical care in the future,
how do we improve that benefits, How do we make
sure that the social security check goes further than in
the past, and not it doesn't get weak and by inflation.
So the if we address the massive deaths of spending,
(13:49):
the sort of the waste in the government, then then
that we can.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Actually address inflation.
Speaker 5 (13:56):
So it's provided the economy grows faster than the money supply,
which means you stop the government over spending and the
waste and the output of real useful goods and services
exceeds the increase in the money supply, you have no inflation.
And you also drop the interest payments that that people
pay because if the government waves you high. Yes, the
(14:17):
reason the interest payments are so high is because the
national debt keeps increasing, so the government is competing for
to sell debt with with the private citizens.
Speaker 3 (14:28):
This drives up the interest rate. So if you have
if you have a.
Speaker 5 (14:33):
If you cut back on the deficit, you actually have
an amazing situation for people because you get you get
rid of inflation, and you drop the interest rates, and
that means people's mortgage payments go down, the credit card
payments go down, their car payments go down, their student
loans go down. Everything their their life becomes more affordable,
and they're.
Speaker 6 (14:51):
Start up living improved quickly, because I think people are
suffering now you are still living under the bids.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
And you have states right now, you have some states
that operate that way. They operate as well as any corporation.
They really operate well.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
They have surp pluses that they example, when they look
at New York and California and some of these places
that should have an advantage. I mean there's a big advantage.
Or Pritzgard does such a bad job in Illinois, it's horrible.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
How bad he is, and they don't have that advantage.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
You know, New York has stock exchange and lots of things.
In California has the weather and the beautiful water.
Speaker 3 (15:30):
Or yeah, but like Florida.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
But some states operate the way he's talking efficiently.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
When you go into some of these states, you're going
to find very little. You're gonna find almost nothing. They
really operate well, big surpluses, low taxes.
Speaker 6 (15:47):
And my taxes went up the first time you were
president because you took.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Away the salt deduction.
Speaker 6 (15:51):
Well, which by the way, I thought was the right decision.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
It was the right decision.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
In fact, Reagan tried to do it because it rewards
badly run.
Speaker 2 (16:00):
We'll come back. We'll continue more of my interview with
President Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk. Then we'll get
to your calls coming up. Eight hundred and nine four
one Sean. If you want to be a part of
the program, all right, twenty five till the top of
the hour. Eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn is
our number, if you want to be a part of
the program. I love this company so much, I wish
I thought of it because they do incredible work. They
(16:23):
have helped millions and millions of families protect and preserve
all of these priceless family memories. And it's called Legacy Box.

with the box? Well, you're gonna go through your attic,
(16:45):
your closets, your basement, You're gonna go into the garage.
You're gonna have other family members do the same, and
you're gonna find every family memory that is now fading
away at you know, vulnerable to things like heat, moisture, mold.
And that means every cam quod er, tape, VHS, tape,
film reels, if you had them, fading photos, negatives, if
(17:07):
you still have them, and you're gonna put them in
the box and you're gonna get everything back, all the
originals back, but you will be serving in saving im
perpetuity all these family memories. Think how cool it will
be when you get digitized memories and you can sit
around with your family and watch old family movies and
look at photos and maybe see and hear from people
(17:28):
the loved ones that have passed away over the years.
And then think about the future. We don't like to
think about our kids and grandkids. What about your great

calls in just a few more minutes. We have a
few minutes left of President Trump and Elon Musk and
then your calls coming up. We'll get right to the
phones in a few minutes. Eight hundred and ninety four
(18:11):
to one, Shawn our number.
Speaker 6 (18:13):
As we continue, how quickly you balance the budget and
when do we start paying down that?
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Well, potentially very quickly, between what he's doing and with
income coming in from tariffs.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
And other things.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I mean, I hope we can. I don't want to
give a date because then these people are going to say, oh, well,
he didn't make the date. But I think we can
do it very quickly. We would have never done it
if this didn't happen never, it would have never been.
It would only get worse and worse, and ultimately it
would have exploded.
Speaker 4 (18:43):
This country was headed down a very bad track.
Speaker 1 (18:46):
And the whole DEI thing that was that was a trap.
That was a sick trap. And you know we've destroyed that.
That's gone. That's pretty much gone.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I agree, it's not what we we're not funding it.
Speaker 5 (19:00):
I really want to emphasize to people that this is
a very important point. If we don't solve the deficit,
there won't be money for medical care, they won't be
money for social security.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
We either solve the deficit or all we'll be doing
is paying debt.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Nobody said it's got to be solved or there's no
medical care, there's no solid securities, no nothing. There's got
to be solved. It's not optional. America will go bankrupt
if this is not done. That's why I'm here.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
The President of Europe takes advantage.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
And I will also just send a message to like
because as President said, like this, there's a lot of.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Rich people out there. They should be caring more about
the country.
Speaker 5 (19:38):
Because the reason you be caring about more about the
countries in America falls. What do you think is going
to happen to your business? What do you think do
you think if we're going to be okay? If the
ship of America thinks of course, not like what what? What?
What I'm doing here, what the President's doing is it's
just long term thinking. The ship of America must be strong,
so America cannot sing. If it sinks, we all sink with.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
It is what drives you.
Speaker 6 (20:04):
This is important, It says tech support so you're not
trying to be president, as the media suggests. You are
really here because your heart and your passion is this,
and the President described you as being this is the
biggest thing you've ever done.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Now you're trying to bring side.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
It could be nothing bigger.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
You're sending ships up to the Mars, you know, spaceships
up in the sky all the time, and saving astronauts.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
That's pretty big. Has compared to penuts. You agree with that, Well,
it's just it's essentral that America be healthy, that America's
economy be strong, and.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
If that basically it's like I considers, like if America
is the central pillar holding up Western civilization, that pillar
must be strong.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
That pillar falls, the whole roof comes crashing down.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
There's no to hideas run nothing, there's nothing left.
Speaker 6 (20:58):
Why if this is your goal, your motivation, you're losing
money in the process. You're offering you do all these
nice things for people for free. You're trying to solve
you know, blindness. You're going to rescue your astronauts. You
help the people in North Carolina, California. You're cutting money
that was sent abroad, does not helping the American people.
Speaker 3 (21:17):
But why rat it was and hurting people overseas to
whitest rage against you.
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Now, first they hated him, now they hate both of you.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
Well, I think we're seeing an antibody reaction from from
those who are receiving the wasteful and fraudulent money.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
They're being exposed.
Speaker 5 (21:35):
Yes, nobody wants to be exposed with I'll tell you
a lesson I learned at PayPal. You know who complained
the loudest, uh, and the quickest, and the loudest and
with the most amount of righteous indignation the fraudsters. That's
who complained first, loudest, and they would generally have this
immense overreaction. That's how we knew there were the Fordstess.
(21:56):
That's how we knew. That's to tell what.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
I've never met you before today, and it's nice to
meet you. By the way, then thank you for doing this.
You guys are really friends. You guys, I could see
you kicking up your show.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
He doesn't do this kind of thing. And the way
I figured that you get to know him is if
I did it with him. I said, come on, let's
do it together.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
He doesn't do this.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
I think he's smart enough doing it overall, because you know,
I mean, he's done very well without doing it, but
he doesn't feel it's really worthwhile. He wants the product
to speak for itself or whatever. He does speak for itself,
but he've views it as you know, does it matter?
And I'm doing this with you today because I wanted
to have people understand him, and I think it's very important.
(22:42):
I disagree with him and that I think it's very
important that they do understand him. He doesn't need this,
He doesn't need it now. I happen to think it's
made him very popular. I think he's more popular now
because there are so many people. You know, you're talking
about the radical left. They have the lowest ratings. Ms
NBC is dying, CNN is dying.
Speaker 4 (23:04):
They're all dying.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
The New York Times is doing.
Speaker 4 (23:06):
A lousy The Washington Post is doing horribly.
Speaker 1 (23:09):
They're all doing badly because people don't buy it anymore.
But I think it was important that he do this
one interview. You've been a very fair guy. I think
you were the right guy to do it. If we
could get some radical left guy, and they do just
as well, frankly.
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Because it's it's all about common sense.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
On constant shure. To me, this was anxious Who's important
for people to understand. He's doing a big job. He's
doing a very thankless job. It's really a thankless job.
But he's helping us to save our country. Our country
is in serious trouble. And I had to get the
best guy, somebody with credibility, because if he were just
a regular good, very good, solid businessman, he wouldn't have
(23:53):
the credibility. He's got the best credibility for this, and
people also know he's an honest guy.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
He's an honest guy.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
He's just a very very smart guy who's done amazing things,
and this will be the biggest thing he's ever done,
because you know, his companies are all great. But if
this country goes bad, I guess where he is a
little selfish? Is this?
Speaker 4 (24:14):
He knows one thing and probably doesn't think.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
But if this country goes bad, his stuff is not
going to be worth very much.
Speaker 5 (24:22):
I can tell you that's if the shape of America sinks,
rulebo going down with it. You know, this idea that
people can escape to New Zealand or some other place
is false. If the central pillar of Western civilization that
is America falls the whole.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Roof comes crashing down and there is no escape. Do
you anticipate you'll be here four years?
Speaker 5 (24:41):
My last question, I'll be as helpful as long as
I can be helpful.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Yeah, that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (24:47):
I mean I was thinking about it, and I wonder
how long he's going to be doing it. You can't
get somebody like this. He cares, and he's brilliant, and
he's got energy. You need energy also in addition to
those other you don't have a lot of guys that
are very smart, but they have no energy. They want
to sleep all day. Look, you need a lot of energy.
You've got a lot of energy. He's doing a great job.
(25:08):
If there's any conflict, he will stop it. But if
he didn't stop it, i'd see if there's a conflict.
I mean we're talking about big stuff, but he's under
a pretty big microscope.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
I mean, everybody's watching him.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
If there's a conflict, you're going to be reading about
it with it about two minutes.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
After the conflict.
Speaker 3 (25:24):
Exactly.
Speaker 5 (25:25):
There's the possibility of me getting away something is zero percent,
zero point zero. I've scrutinized to a ridiculous degree. And
the other thing is that we're you know what, what's
you know What's better than saying trust trust me is
just full transparency. So what we're doing with the doors
door just go to doorstock of you can see every
single action that's being taken.
Speaker 3 (25:46):
And now I don't want to clear We're all going
to make some mistakes.
Speaker 5 (25:49):
We're not going to be perfect, nobody bats a thousand,
but we're going to fix the mistakes very quickly. That's
what matters, not that you don't make mistakes, but they
fix the mistakes very fast.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All right. Anyway, if you want the full interview, unedited, interrupted,
you can get on Hannity dot com. We got it
up on x We've got it on Fox Nation dot com.
We're putting it everywhere, and thank all of you. It
was such a great experience. I will tell you that
I just hate what they're doing to a guy that
(26:19):
is volunteering and foregoing lots of money and taking abuse
for it, and all he's trying to do is help us,
help the country. It's just so disgusting. All right, quick
break right back. We'll hit the phones eight hundred and
nine four one Shaw on our number. If you want
to be a part of the program. Did you ever
wonder how it's possible that we pay more per capita
(26:40):
for student than any other industrialized country with the worst results.
This came up in my interview with Elon Musk and
President Trump and his desire to you know, change how
we do education in this country and block ranting or
vouchers or you know, all the different ways to innovative
ideas to better spend money on our kids in school
(27:01):
and anyway it's gonna happen, but it is. It is
another national travesty. This holy alliance between teachers' unions and
Democrats has to be broken. Only come back on the
other side. We're gonna debate that. We'll also get more
of your calls in eight hundred nine four one, Shawn,
as we roll along, the.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Final hour roundup is next.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
You do not want to miss it, and stay tuned
for the final hour Free for all on the Sean
Hannity Show. Let's go to our busy phones. Eight hundred
ninety four one. Sean at the top of the hour,
(27:48):
how do we fix America's broken educational system? Now that
Donald Trump says the Department of Education needs to go
as soon as possible. Joni in Long Island, New York,
my former home town. How are you, Joni? What's going on?
Speaker 8 (28:02):

Speaker 2 (28:04):
Where in Long Island are you?
Speaker 4 (28:06):

Speaker 5 (28:14):
Ivy.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
I do miss friends in Long Island and uh uh
I love my friends. They're all saying the same thing
though they're getting the hell out.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
I don't blame you. I don't blame you.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
Well though, Bruce Blakeman's doing a good job. You're in
Nasau County, right, Nasa County. Yeah, yeah, he's doing a
great job.
Speaker 8 (28:31):
Hey is I'm happy, but still things that I wish
were better? But you know, great show with Elon and Trump, fantastic,
Thank you, But I'm actually calling for a favor.
Speaker 2 (28:45):
What do you need?
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Your pen?
Speaker 3 (28:49):
All right?
Speaker 2 (28:49):
Linda put you up to this, don't lie, Linda put
you up to this because I click it a lot.
Speaker 5 (28:55):
No.
Speaker 8 (28:55):
I I watch you faithfully every night, and I'm like,
oh my god, if I can go there and rip
that pen out of his hands, I would myself. She goes,
you could actually tell them, all.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Right, I will, I will try and take your request.
Speaker 9 (29:09):
But I knew that I've had a co host named
Ballpoint and we just all want you to retire him.
You know we had enough of columns you.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I know you put her up to this, but.
Speaker 9 (29:21):
To this, let me tell you something. She's a strong
aisle woman. She don't need me.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Huh, got it.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
But it is to be honest with you. It's it's
like when I watch and you have an interview and
someone else is talking, I'm actually hear it. So he
had a click, and I'm like, I get anxious. I
want to rip the pen out of your hand.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Well, I'll tell you what. You know, the last thing
I want to do is irritate my audience. Irritating Linda
is a whole different ballgame. I like irritating her.
Speaker 9 (29:48):
Why don't you tell her what we gave you as
a gift when we were there for the inauguration.
Speaker 2 (29:52):
Well, I don't have it. I don't know where it is,
but I'm going to get a non clicky pen. I
don't know, I don't even know. I'm doing it. To
be very honest with you, I know that I.
Speaker 8 (30:01):
Know you don't and I don't know if it's a
nervous happen. It's just a security. You have the pen
in your hand, which is fine. Just change pens.
Speaker 2 (30:06):
Don't get a clicker, all right, Linda's gonna send me, Sean,
Linda is going to send me one hundred non clickie pens.
And when you see it, and if you can get
a decent color this time instead of a disgusting pinky.
Speaker 9 (30:20):
You didn't like lavender? I thought lavender was it color?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
Lavender is not my color? No, no, all right, I
will stop, But I hope you like the interview in
spite of that.
Speaker 8 (30:31):
It was fantastic. And it's not just I really didn't
hear it serving that interview, but it's on a regular
basis on the show. But awesome, awesome interview. And I
hope a lot of people who you know, were on
the fence and were ensoyed that they watched it because
it was very educational and just to see that. I
really truly feel they are there for us, and I
(30:55):
never had that feeling before from anyone, any any political figure,
So I loved it.
Speaker 2 (31:01):
They are supposed to be public servants, right, They're supposed
to serve us, And what Dooses has exposed? I keep
saying it shocks the conscience. Every American should be angry
and frustrated. And really it's just at a level that
we never thought would happen. But Jony, Long Island, and
(31:24):
I'm not making funny because I grew up there, But
God bless you, and yes, Linda will send me one
hundred non clickie pens, and and.
Speaker 9 (31:30):
I'm sure you will lose ninety nine of them just
by accident.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Well then you can get me another hundred, but I
will throw out all the clicki ones and in your
honor only because you asked, although I think you will
put up to it, but that's a different story. Thank you,
Joni eight hundred nine four one. Sean if you want
