Speaker 1: Well, well, come in your.

Speaker 3: And if you want a little mangani.
Speaker 2: I come alone.
Speaker 4: You know people come the door with their phone in
Speaker 4: their hand.
Speaker 1: The mainstream has become French, and the French has become mainstream.
Speaker 1: Oh Magga is the Republican Party and Donald Trump is
Speaker 1: the Republican Party.
Speaker 4: Today.
Speaker 5: Republican Party has become the party of the working class,
Speaker 5: middle class voter.
Speaker 4: And we left the country better shape than we founded today.
Speaker 4: I can say without with every fiber might be from
Speaker 4: all my heart. You answer that question is the resounding yes.
Speaker 4: Freedom is back in the style.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the revolution.
Speaker 4: Coming to your doing the way, I again, Thalzan saying
Speaker 4: you a conscious cell.
Speaker 3: The New Sean Hannity Show, I'm on Freaking News and
Speaker 3: more bold inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 2: Arah Hour number two of The Sean Hannity Show. Joe
Speaker 2: kancha Fox News contributor in four Mister Hannity, eight hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety four to one, sewn eight hundred ninety four
Speaker 2: to one, Shawn open Line Thursday. Yes it is Thursday,
Speaker 2: and now it's all off kilter. During this Christmas lash,
Speaker 2: New Year's Break where the holidays are in the middle
Speaker 2: of the week. But yep, it's Thursday. Some of us
Speaker 2: are working. Many of you, hopefully you're still off where
Speaker 2: you get like the seventeen day vacation basically starting on
Speaker 2: Christmas all the way through January Seventh's that's not a
Speaker 2: bad deal when these holidays fall in the middle of
Speaker 2: the week. Anyway, Let's bring in Jimmy Fala. He is
Speaker 2: the host of Fox Across America, a very active comedian
Speaker 2: on tour as well, and we seems like he has
Speaker 2: a gig going every weekend. And Jimmy, why we working?
Speaker 4: What? What? What?
Speaker 2: What led us to this moment?
Speaker 1: Some of us weren't as lucky betting the College Bowl
Speaker 1: games as others.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's true.
Speaker 1: No, I'm actually I'm in I'm in good shape right now.
Speaker 1: And uh, I'm with you, Kanca. I got to host
Speaker 1: a Saturday night TV show, so I had to show
Speaker 1: up today and start putting together a comedy show in
Speaker 1: the aftermath of two terror attacks and another another subway pusher,
Speaker 1: who's ready for some comedy?
Speaker 2: I mean, seriously, a comedy is much harder to do
Speaker 2: than the serious stuff, right, and that's why it always
Speaker 2: bothers me that we never have a good comedy ever.
Speaker 2: Be up for an actor, be up for best you know,
Speaker 2: best actor for example, like from There's Something About Mary.
Speaker 2: Would you give that to Ben Steller? I would consider it?
Speaker 2: Or Cameron Diaz was great in that as well, that's
Speaker 2: like the first movie that popped into my mind. Or
Speaker 2: Bill Murray and Stripes, like they're never considered when when
Speaker 2: you're giving out the awards, are they.
Speaker 1: Well, Ben Steeller should have won an Oscar for acting
Speaker 1: in that Commo ofvity, know where he endored Yeah, because
Speaker 1: if December it was totally like the most hostage situation ever.
Speaker 1: He goes, well, I'm voting Kamala because of my daughter,
Speaker 1: and like he looks away from the camera, like you
Speaker 1: remember those old Frosted Flakes commercials where the adults admit
Speaker 1: to eating frosted flakes, Yeah, black out their faces. That
Speaker 1: was the Kamala endorsement video. I'm doing it because of
Speaker 1: my daughter. Frosted flakes are great.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And then he's also forced to say because she
Speaker 2: will bring change, you know, the vice president over the
Speaker 2: last three and a half years. So that was that
Speaker 2: was pretty interesting. But you know it's amazing we're seeing
Speaker 2: these terror attacks and I read it last hour, but
Speaker 2: it bears repeating. There's this weird now correlation going on
Speaker 2: where we have the suspects in yesterday's attacks and Bourbon
Speaker 2: Street in New Orleans, Trump Tower Las Vegas. They both served
Speaker 2: at Fort Bragg and that's the same military base that
Speaker 2: Ryan Ruth who tried to assassinate Trump back in September
Speaker 2: when he was golfing down at Trump International Miami. Ryan
Speaker 2: Ruth visited that particular base over one hundred times before
Speaker 2: attempting to take Trump out. So, I mean, what's going
Speaker 2: on here?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Is there a tie? And I guess would be
Speaker 1: the answer the.
Speaker 2: Ryan Ruth guy.
Speaker 1: I didn't you know, I was reading about that reporting
Speaker 1: on Acts a little earlier. That dude is. I mean,
Speaker 1: he looked like he gets paid in tiede pods and
Speaker 1: the cheap homemade mess he would if anything, at the
Speaker 1: very least, I think he'd be connected to some type
Speaker 1: of drug dealer or something, because that was a real
Speaker 1: space cadet moonbat guy. And you know, obviously thank god
Speaker 1: that got him. But I don't, you know, Joe, I
Speaker 1: don't know what to make of this. I just know
Speaker 1: that we're living in this moment where there's such a
Speaker 1: distrust of a lot of these institutions. Like the FBI
Speaker 1: did a good job today, but as I'm sure you noted,
Speaker 1: didn't do the best job yesterday when the woman got
Speaker 1: out to the podium, Yeah, hours after finding an ISIS
Speaker 1: terror flag and possible IEDs and dismiss the possibility of
Speaker 1: terror like if there's an ISIS flag and explosive devices
Speaker 1: allegedly at the time, like was this a gender reveal
Speaker 1: gone awry? Like what do they want us to believe
Speaker 1: this was? And that's where developed that distrust is the
Speaker 1: messaging was so in e f Now it turns out
Speaker 1: it was just a proposal, you know, come on, man,
Speaker 1: And that's why people get upset. So I'm glad the
Speaker 1: FBI did a better job today to start there.
Speaker 4: But I honestly, I don't know what to believe because.
Speaker 1: I don't think anyone's bargaining with us in good faith
Speaker 1: at the moment. Like John Kennedy of Louisiana said that
Speaker 1: yesterday too, He's like, I don't know if they're telling
Speaker 1: me the truth?
Speaker 2: Do you I heard that? No, I was saying before
Speaker 2: the ten years ago, I would buy yees the FBI.
Speaker 2: Of course it's not politicized, as there's no DEI. They're
Speaker 2: not gonna lie to us in any way, shape or form.
Speaker 2: But they just feel half weaponized and happened half an AFT.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying all of them, of course, but in
Speaker 2: this situation you had to say it's not a terror attack.
Speaker 2: Then they walk it back that the head of the
Speaker 2: field office down there is wearing a nose ring that
Speaker 2: she has to take out because you're not supposed to
Speaker 2: wear that in public or something. I mean, who the
Speaker 2: hell knows what's going on, But guys could if we
Speaker 2: could play the Kennedy clip that Jimmy was just referring to,
Speaker 2: let's refresh people on what he said right in the
Speaker 2: middle of that press conference, which which was seriously like
Speaker 2: a disturbing eye opener the Kennedy cup.
Speaker 5: Go there's just too much stuff we don't know, and
Speaker 5: it's it's it's just not move. But I guess my
Speaker 5: final point is I will promise you this. I will
Speaker 5: when when it is appropriate and this investigation is complete,
Speaker 5: you will find that what happened and who was responsible,
Speaker 5: or I will raise fresh Hill and I will chase
Speaker 5: those in the federal government who are responsible for telling
Speaker 5: us what happened, like they stole Christmas.
Speaker 2: There's Kennedy. You ever have him on your show because
Speaker 2: he gives the best sound bites like ever, But he's
Speaker 2: hard to book. I understand he is.
Speaker 1: A good SoundBite guy. And you know, as I I
Speaker 1: tweeted yesterday, I think you're aware, like at this point,
Speaker 1: I have more trust for those FBI hats that say
Speaker 1: Federal Bikini Inspector.
Speaker 2: I got to get one of those. It's got to
Speaker 2: be on EVA somewhere. Yeah, you may be right about that.
Speaker 2: And you made a great point on Twitter this morning.
Speaker 2: X I still can't call it exits hard to get
Speaker 2: used to. Like two years later, you said, the Biden
Speaker 2: administration spent the last four years renaming our military bases
Speaker 2: while terror plots are being hatched literally inside of them.
Speaker 2: We've never been led by a bigger group of idiots.
Speaker 2: And that's where we're at this point. We have no
Speaker 2: trust in many of the institutions that we grow up
Speaker 2: absolutely trusting. And that's not just the FBI, but that
Speaker 2: is the current president who just shuffled out there yesterday.
Speaker 2: You know, he talks for three minutes out of a teleprompter,
Speaker 2: doesn't take any questions and shuffles back. What do you
Speaker 2: think the Biden legacy will be? This may be too
Speaker 2: easy of a t ball question for you, but I'm curious.
Speaker 2: I want to hear different perspectives on this. Everybody agrees
Speaker 2: that he's a bad president. But what ultimately when the
Speaker 2: first thing you hear the name Joe Biden said, say
Speaker 2: like two three years from now, what do you think
Speaker 2: the first thing will be that comes to mind?
Speaker 1: It's the movie Kingpin, So let meplain it to you now.
Speaker 1: In Kingpin, the Woody Harrelson character is a bowler and
Speaker 1: he goes out hustling with Bill Murray and Munson No yeah,
Speaker 1: Roy Munson and Bigger and mcrackett, and they come up
Speaker 1: with the phrase.
Speaker 4: At Munson on me.
Speaker 1: Roy Munson finds out that he was such a failure
Speaker 1: that looking back, they coined a phrase like, oh my
Speaker 1: car monsened on me Biden did Biden? Biden will become
Speaker 1: a verb, a word, you know it bidened on me.
Speaker 1: That will be his legacy. He will be synonymous with failure.
Speaker 1: The only like historic upside to this presidency is, you
Speaker 1: know I've mentioned like he got Arson down. Arson was
Speaker 1: lower under Biden because people couldn't afford to burn down
Speaker 1: your house at these gas prices. And he will, of
Speaker 1: course have the first presidential library that scratch and sniff,
Speaker 1: So that's not nothing, Well, it's nothing.
Speaker 2: You really got to get them there are you using
Speaker 2: this stuff on the road, because this just feels like
Speaker 2: completely organic, Like if you're just doing this on a fly,
Speaker 2: I'd be insanely impressed. But if this isn't your act,
Speaker 2: I'd say also impressive, because this is some good stuff
Speaker 2: you're giving us right here, Jimmy, thank you. Anyway, do
Speaker 2: you know comedian Tim Dillon? Is he a friend or anything?
Speaker 1: He's not, Like I don't like hang out with him, No,
Speaker 1: but I know of him Oka really good. What do
Speaker 1: he got on him?
Speaker 2: Well, this whole thing where he played the ghost of
Speaker 2: the United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, who got you know,
Speaker 2: shot in the back like five blocks from Fox a
Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago because Luigiana Luigi Mengioni decided, you
Speaker 2: know that he had to take him out because he
Speaker 2: didn't like what he was paying for healthcare, even though
Speaker 2: he doesn't even get you know, insured, by United Healthcare
Speaker 2: but regardless, and then Luigiana MANGIONI ended up being like
Speaker 2: a guy who you know, basically became a sex symbol.
Speaker 2: And I don't know, I mean, where do you draw
Speaker 2: the line as a comedian as far as I mean,
Speaker 2: should we really be joking about this guy? I mean,
Speaker 2: I hate to like sound all you know dad like,
Speaker 2: but I do have two kids, I have a wife.
Speaker 2: I mean there is like a it's a horrible tragedy,
Speaker 2: but is is there a line? Or am I being
Speaker 2: two PC on this one?
Speaker 1: Well, here's the deal. I mean, the truth is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the bit was tasteless, but that's kind of what Tim does.
Speaker 1: Is like, if you're tuning in for him, it's because
Speaker 1: you know, you've got someone who doesn't care, who's intentionally
Speaker 1: gonna go too far. So like the you know, the
Speaker 1: answer is yeah, obviously we don't have to watch it.
Speaker 1: But my bigger takeaway having watched that whole Netflix roast
Speaker 1: of twenty twenty four is those guys don't do political
Speaker 1: or topical comedy night at in, night out. So I'm
Speaker 1: telling you because I care that Netflix roast it was
Speaker 1: like loaded with jokes that would be b pluses on
Speaker 1: a Gutfeld episode C plus is on my show, Like nothing, kiddy,
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. I watched all their takes on
Speaker 1: the news and it wasn't a single joke where I
Speaker 1: was like, Man, how'd they do that? You know what
Speaker 1: I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Like the Brady vote roast, what I thought was excellent.
Speaker 2: I mean it was. It was awkward to watch it
Speaker 2: that moment before Tom. Then again, he's signed up for it,
Speaker 2: but and he's getting paid three hundred and eighty five
Speaker 2: million dollars from Fox Sports, so you can't feel too
Speaker 2: bad for him. But that I thought was next level.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But the Brady roast, it was so funny because everybody
Speaker 1: was like, but what.
Speaker 4: About his kids?
Speaker 1: And I was like, yo, yo, yo, the Brady kids
Speaker 1: are gonna be fine. They have the DNA of the
Speaker 1: greatest quarterback of all time and the greatest supermodel.
Speaker 4: Of full time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and there worth a billion dollars. Okay, let's talk
Speaker 1: about my kids. If I die, he's gonna be battling
Speaker 1: in court for custody of a Nintendo. Okay, the Brady
Speaker 1: kids are gonna be.
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, they'll they'll be just fine. If you've ever
Speaker 2: seen his house down in Tampa. Yeah, trust me, it's
Speaker 2: a whole zip code. And we're talking to Jimmy Falla.
Speaker 2: He is the host of Fox across America. Any shows
Speaker 2: coming up that we should know about Jimmy.
Speaker 1: Well, okay, obviously, contractually I have to tell you to
Speaker 1: watch Fox New Saturday Night every Saturday at ten pm
Speaker 1: in the Fox News channel, of course, and we have
Speaker 1: a live audience beginning this weekend. So now we start
Speaker 1: with our live audience version of the show.
Speaker 2: Really, can I stop you there real quick? That's so?
Speaker 2: So you're gonna do where Gutfelt tapes because that's the
Speaker 2: only place where we kind of have like an audience
Speaker 2: where we have the ability to house noise. I guess
Speaker 2: I could do it in studio am also where they
Speaker 2: do Fox and Friends, where they have some audiences there
Speaker 2: as well. It's more makeshift than anything else, but that
Speaker 2: that is awesome. Going live, I think that that's really
Speaker 2: gonna be. There's just a different energy to it when
Speaker 2: you pre tape. There's something about it. But I think
Speaker 2: once Gutfeld added a studio audience, I think the show
Speaker 2: took on. It went to a different level because I
Speaker 2: think you need that with comedy, you need reaction, right,
Speaker 2: and you feed off of that as a comedian. This
Speaker 2: is gonna be awesome. You're gonna fill that place every
Speaker 2: Saturday night, and I think you're probably gonna have some
Speaker 2: people that may be overserved when they show up to
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 1: Well, well the night, yeah, then but enough about the panelists.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the panelists in the hotel, Well, we'll pump.
Speaker 1: We're pumped out of that. I don't go back on
Speaker 1: the road for stand up till February because we're in
Speaker 1: this new format and we got to like make all
Speaker 1: that magic cappen. Yeah, especially coming out to January ninth.
Speaker 1: On Nation it's called the Night of Comedy. It's me
Speaker 1: Adam Carolla, Jim Brewer, Anthony Rodilla. Wow, and I hosted
Speaker 1: that shindig. We did it out at Long Island University.
Speaker 1: So what was funny about it is we shot it
Speaker 1: at Long Island University a week after the Patriot Awards.
Speaker 1: So think about this Thursday, December fifth, I'm on stage
Speaker 1: telling jokes President Trump's and the audience surrounded by Secret Service.
Speaker 1: To go back a week later, it felt a little
Speaker 1: bit like he got invited to the orgy after the
Speaker 1: girls went home.
Speaker 2: That's true. Trump was at the Fox Nation Awards, right,
Speaker 2: and then yes, so you're performing for the president. You're
Speaker 2: almost like Marilyn Monroe, right, like happy Birthday This to President,
Speaker 2: which happened at Maison Square Garden, which apparently like that
Speaker 2: was a Nazis thing also, But yeah, then afterwards then
Speaker 2: you're lu and it's not quite the same audience. But
Speaker 2: that's that's an all star lineup. Okay, So that's that's
Speaker 2: on Fox Nation and that is on the ninth.
Speaker 1: The ninth, Yes, January ninth at debuts. And I have
Speaker 1: a new series coming out in My Taxi. You know,
Speaker 1: we do all these taxi interviews.
Speaker 2: It's the older Kataxi too. I've seen it parked outside
Speaker 2: the network.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we hit tomorrow for another shoot. But that's called
Speaker 1: Taxi Cab Comedy because they really killed themselves to come
Speaker 1: up with a creative name.
Speaker 2: Is it like the Seinfeld you know the episodes having
Speaker 2: coffee in cars with I forget what it was called.
Speaker 2: It was kind of long, but the same kind of
Speaker 2: format where you're driving along and just having a conversation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, jokes on wheels, but yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1: A series of like, you know, short form interviews in
Speaker 1: taxis with random people. Though, like what we do on
Speaker 1: my TV show is it's Fox talent that I pick
Speaker 1: up and drive around and yap with about stuff. What
Speaker 1: we do in this series is it's just randos on
Speaker 1: the street that I pick up in drive places and
Speaker 1: talk to. So it's a little exciting. You'll get a
Speaker 1: contact high just from watching it. People New York or
Speaker 1: a special breed.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like it. And it's well, you know, funny.
Speaker 1: Concient is like they're totally making me shoot stuff in
Speaker 1: a taxi. Is like a scared straight just to remind
Speaker 1: me to behave because that was my job, you know
Speaker 1: obviously cab driving and doing stand up before I got
Speaker 1: started here at Fox. So that's just it. This is
Speaker 1: the way of reminding me to keep playing good ball.
Speaker 1: Are they going to stick me back on the van
Speaker 1: Wick Expressway in traffic?
Speaker 2: Well that's the amazing story about about Jimmy fall and
Speaker 2: unfortunately we got to go. So I'll just fill in
Speaker 2: the blank here. I mean, you were a cab driver
Speaker 2: also doing comedy and then before you know, you're doing
Speaker 2: some appearances on I think it was with Kennedy, right,
Speaker 2: and from there you did so well with your hits
Speaker 2: that just everything took off. And here you are now
Speaker 2: Fox Nation shows, Fox News Saturday Night, which is awesome.
Speaker 2: That's on a ten pm Saturday. Now it's gonna have
Speaker 2: a live audience, whole new vibe to it. So that's
Speaker 2: gonna be great. And Jimmy, I mean, congratulations on all
Speaker 2: your success. Twenty twenty five is only gonna get.
Speaker 4: Better for you.
Speaker 1: It's our year.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: Let's get him.
Speaker 2: I'll see you, all right, Let's get him. He is
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fayler. Thank you so much, Jimmy. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's a true success story right there. From
Speaker 2: CAB National Television, multiple formats, books, the whole deal. Jimmy Fayler,
Speaker 2: one of the good ones over a Fox. Well, they're
Speaker 2: all good, but when the when the great ones over
Speaker 2: a Fox. Anyway, This is Joekancha in for Sean Hannity,
Speaker 2: eight hundred and niney four one Seawan. That is your
Speaker 2: number to call and your call, I swear, I promise
Speaker 2: that's coming up next. And welcome back everybody. Joe Concha
Speaker 2: in for Sean Hannity, eight hundred nine for one Sean
Speaker 2: We got a quick segment here, and when we come back,
Speaker 2: we got some more great guests for you. We have
Speaker 2: John McLaughlin coming up. I met him at the Republican
Speaker 2: National Convention in Milwaukee, and his numbers were right all along,
Speaker 2: which is probably why you saw Trump so confident on
Speaker 2: the campaign trail, even when ridiculous polsters like Anne Selzer.
Speaker 2: We're showing Kamala Harris up by three points in places
Speaker 2: like Iowa, and then other morning consult or you Gov
Speaker 2: showing Kamala Harris up four or five points leading some
Speaker 2: swing states. Now Trump was leading all along, and then
Speaker 2: after the election it turned out that the Harris campaign
Speaker 2: admitted that, Yeah, our internal showed us that all along,
Speaker 2: we knew we weren't up. While McLaughlin always had Trump up.
Speaker 2: In the guy who was right in twenty sixteen, he's
Speaker 2: right again and we're going to talk to him coming
Speaker 2: up after the break. Please do stick around. This is
Speaker 2: Joe Conshent, Fox News contributor in for Sean Hannity, back
Speaker 2: with more in just a.
Speaker 3: Moment, Sewn Scott, more behind the scenes information, more contacts
Speaker 3: than anybody, more friends.
Speaker 4: Behind the curtains.
Speaker 2: Sean Hannity is on and welcome back everybody. Joe Kanca
Speaker 2: in for mister Hannity, eight hundred and ninety four one
Speaker 2: Sean is your number to call. Let's get to our
Speaker 2: next guest. He is John McLaughlin. He is the founder
Speaker 2: of John McLaughlin and Associates. And we met, I believe
Speaker 2: in Milwaukee for the first time at the RNC. John,
Speaker 2: and I remember talking to you off the record that
Speaker 2: you were confident in the president's position at that point.
Speaker 2: Obviously Joe Biden was the opponent on July eighteenth, nineteenth
Speaker 2: when that convention went on. But now we're hearing from
Speaker 2: the sitting president. Yes, he still is a sitting president,
Speaker 2: saying that, well, if he didn't drop out and stayed
Speaker 2: in that he probably would have beaten Trump. Did you
Speaker 2: laugh hard or very hard when you heard that?
Speaker 4: By the way, the first time we met, we met
Speaker 4: it's a Jersey shore. Here's a goup few that's right, yes, yes,
Speaker 4: well it's like yeah, but by the way, it's like,
Speaker 4: you know, so we've met before, and it was great
Speaker 4: to see in Milwaukee again. But at the time we
Speaker 4: were beating Joe Biden and to prove our polls right
Speaker 4: on July twenty first. When you think about it, we
Speaker 4: put out a poll the day before the debate between
Speaker 4: Biden and Trump at the end of June, and Trump
Speaker 4: was up to. Now, Trump had been ahead in the
Speaker 4: polls since September of twenty one, when inflation kicked in
Speaker 4: and Biden decided to surrender Afghanistan. And surrendering a country
Speaker 4: is that what American and presidents are supposed to do.
Speaker 4: But Trump was leading him in the popular vote. From
Speaker 4: that point on. We had to win the primaries and
Speaker 4: all that, which Trump did in historic fashion. But the
Speaker 4: day before the debate, Trump was up to Trump destroys
Speaker 4: him in the debate. Biden goes down the media polls.
Speaker 4: Trump survived by the grace of God an assassin's bullet,
Speaker 4: and we have a great convention tal you saw the
Speaker 4: party was united, it was coming out strong, ready to
Speaker 4: win the election. And that Sunday on July twenty first,
Speaker 4: Biden withdraws Haim, picks Kamala Harris to be his replacement,
Speaker 4: and we do Paul. The first week of August. Trump's
Speaker 4: still up too. I mean, all those historics happened and
Speaker 4: nothing changed, and really a lot happened. But from that
Speaker 4: point on through the election. But Trump was always leading
Speaker 4: in our popular vote ever since Biden took office. In fact,
Speaker 4: at one point that's interesting me being an old timer.
Speaker 4: You know, I'm much older than your producer Linda McLaughlin
Speaker 4: and did a relationship, but still she's much younger. So
Speaker 4: but but I had met with President Trump during the
Speaker 4: second apeachment. Jason Miller, myself, a couple of as we've
Speaker 4: done a poll in the battleground states for Trump and
Speaker 4: it was during impeachment, and we went and we met
Speaker 4: with President Trump and his office in marri A Lago
Speaker 4: and he's watching on he's watching the impeachment hearings, and
Speaker 4: I said to him, I said, you realize sixty three
Speaker 4: percent of the Republicans want you to run again. And
Speaker 4: we were going through the poll numbers, and I'm saying,
Speaker 4: you know, when Biden fails, this is going to be
Speaker 4: like Jimmy Carter. When Jimmy Carter, you know, he basically failed.
Speaker 4: And there was Buyer's remorse that the Republicans had nominated
Speaker 4: Reagan in seventy six. Those of us who volunteered and
Speaker 4: helped Reagan when I was a young man in college,
Speaker 4: et cetera, in the eighty race, Reagan beat Carter soundly
Speaker 4: and states, yeah, yeah, and President Trump knew him. And
Speaker 4: President Trump, you know, I said, when when Biden fails,
Speaker 4: which he will do, because he's done, you know, undoing
Speaker 4: your he's going to undo your policies, and he's going
Speaker 4: to put in policies in place you there'll be buyer's
Speaker 4: remorse and you'll be able to beat him again. Little
Speaker 4: did we know Biden would sail as gloriously as he
Speaker 4: sailed this country where we did a survey in December
Speaker 4: and two thirds of the voters sixty six percent say
Speaker 4: the country's on the wrong track. They say the economy
Speaker 4: is getting worse, not better, fifty five to thirty seven,
Speaker 4: eighty four percent negatively impacted by inflation forty eight percent
Speaker 4: to the point where they can't afford basic necessities. And
Speaker 4: Trump's policies are seen as he ran a very policy
Speaker 4: orients a campaign seen as a relief to this where
Speaker 4: you have you know, they want to they there's no
Speaker 4: tax on tips, they support seventy one to twenty one.
Speaker 4: No tax on so security they support eighty two to eleven,
Speaker 4: no tax on overtime sixty six twenty five all voters support,
Speaker 4: and they want the Trump tax cuts made permanent because
Speaker 4: they're supposed to lapse this year, which they would have
Speaker 4: if Harris had won seventy to seventeen. So so President
Speaker 4: Trump has basically a mandate to get these things done
Speaker 4: and turn the country around. But you know, people are
Speaker 4: counting the days until he gets sworn in because you know,
Speaker 4: it's it's things. People have some optimisms, some reason of
Speaker 4: hope right now, but we've got a lot of problems
Speaker 4: to turn around. President Trump has a real challenge behind him.
Speaker 2: Well, John, I'm not sure anybody's counting the days. Oh,
Speaker 2: who were kidding? It's seventeen days and twenty two hours
Speaker 2: if you want an exact account. So there you go.
Speaker 2: But yeah, people have been counting the days for some
Speaker 2: time now. And we're talking to John McLaughlin, founder of
Speaker 2: McLaughlin and Associates. So, John, I have a book coming out,
Speaker 2: and that's why I was at the convention, and I
Speaker 2: was at a rally for Trump. I was at mar
Speaker 2: Alago just on New Year's I want to get as
Speaker 2: much behind the scenes as I can because it really
Speaker 2: is a fascinating campaign and a fascinating person. Quite frankly
Speaker 2: to chronicle. But one chapter in the book, I talk
Speaker 2: about a rally that I attended and covered at Madison
Speaker 2: Square Garden, and there was a joke made like five
Speaker 2: hours before Trump took the stage. And we all know
Speaker 2: where I'm going with this, as far as a joke
Speaker 2: about the garbage problem in Puerto Rico, which actually is
Speaker 2: a very real thing by a comedian that most people
Speaker 2: hadn't heard of before. And then we heard from the
Speaker 2: Harris campaign that their internal polling was showing that there
Speaker 2: was a large shift among Hispanics, Latinos, Puerto Rican, Puerto
Speaker 2: Rican Americans. They're all going to Harris now because of
Speaker 2: this joke. They said, you know what, A yeah, our
Speaker 2: gas prices are too high, our grocery prices are too high.
Speaker 2: The border's not secure, we don't like that crime is
Speaker 2: out of control, we don't like these wars overseas. But
Speaker 2: because a comedian not named Trump, total joke at a
Speaker 2: rally at Mason Square Garden, that's going to change everything.
Speaker 2: I mean, when you heard this stuff, you must have
Speaker 2: just been shaking your head, being like this is all
Speaker 2: gas lighting, right right.
Speaker 4: Plus I was at the rally and I was like
Speaker 4: set through that. And but we had a great week
Speaker 4: that week because you remember that was the week that
Speaker 4: President Trump did Donalds. He did McDonald's Al Smith. He
Speaker 4: was on the Joe Rogan. The Al Smith was before
Speaker 4: I was at that there. President Trump was great extreme
Speaker 4: and she skipped it. But this is my bath. She
Speaker 4: skipped it. She wouldn't do Joe Rogan. She wouldn't do
Speaker 4: she wouldn't do the rallies. Trump was doing three or
Speaker 4: four rallies a day in the end, and you know
Speaker 4: he went when they called us. Remember they had no message.
Speaker 4: They were calling President Trump and nazi and a fascist.
Speaker 4: And that's why he and they said, as President Biden said,
Speaker 4: his supporters were garbage. So he had the garbage truck.
Speaker 4: So the end, by the way, in the end of
Speaker 4: the post election survey, and these surveys I'm quoting are
Speaker 4: on our website. I'm a glauclin online dot com. But
Speaker 4: President Trump on election Day and our post election survey
Speaker 4: had an approval of fifty six proof forty three disapproved.
Speaker 4: It was and he was liked by the majority of Americans,
Speaker 4: and Biden and Harris were disliked and disapproved. The majority
Speaker 4: of Americans in the December poll. By the way, I've
Speaker 4: got fifty seven percent of all voters disapproved of the
Speaker 4: John Biden's doing to the state. He's getting worse and
Speaker 4: so so you know, like you have so much to
Speaker 4: write about for your book, which is great, But it's
Speaker 4: like when you think about when you think about how
Speaker 4: historic this a campaign was and the kind of determination,
Speaker 4: Like you were very flattering about our polls. But I'm
Speaker 4: fortunate that for Donald Trump for a long time before
Speaker 4: he even got into this race and advising him, and
Speaker 4: he made this happen. And it's like when you think
Speaker 4: of all the adversity he went through in this historic
Speaker 4: campaign where they tried to take away as wealth, they
Speaker 4: tried to put him out of business, they tried to
Speaker 4: put him in jail this year, last year, it is
Speaker 4: now with the new year. And in June sixth, they
Speaker 4: had ten Americans thought that all these indictments against Trump
Speaker 4: were political. The majority thought Joe Biden was behind it
Speaker 4: to try to stop him from taking the White House,
Speaker 4: which he was, And you know, it's like he overcame
Speaker 4: all that. Plus he only came to assassination attempts and
Speaker 4: he you know, our opponent had one point five billion
Speaker 4: dollars she raised over the internet somehow, and Trump still won.
Speaker 4: He never backed down. He's really a historic figure. It's
Speaker 4: unbelievable that he was able to. As I said to him,
Speaker 4: he proved that poll's right. I just happened to be
Speaker 4: taking the polls for this historic figure. Now he's got
Speaker 4: a lot to He's got a lot to work on
Speaker 4: as president because the country's certainly not in a good place.
Speaker 4: And he's got wars, he's got an open border, he's
Speaker 4: got high crime, he's got worries about economic growth. So
Speaker 4: it's quite a challenge for the president try to turn
Speaker 4: the country around.
Speaker 2: Yeah, lots to fix, no question about. And we're talking
Speaker 2: to John McLaughlin. And don't forget two impeachments as well,
Speaker 2: being called a Russian agent for the better part of
Speaker 2: the three years of his first presidency, taken off of
Speaker 2: state ballots, remember Colorado and Maine tried to do that.
Speaker 2: I mean, you could just go down the list. And
Speaker 2: when I interviewed him about a week or so ago,
Speaker 2: and he was nice enough forgive me about forty minutes,
Speaker 2: that was my first question, Like all these things are
Speaker 2: thrown at you, why would you want to stay around
Speaker 2: for this. I mean, it's just it's not a fair fight, right,
Speaker 2: a fair fight. You know, maybe you do, but with
Speaker 2: all these things being thrown at you, what keeps you
Speaker 2: moving forward? And he just said, you know, these are
Speaker 2: sick people destroying the country, and I love my country
Speaker 2: and I have to do what I can to save
Speaker 2: it. It was like one of the more unselfish things that
Speaker 2: you'll ever hear. And it wasn't a politics talking that.
Speaker 2: This was a person who genuinely a thinks that the
Speaker 2: country is going in the wrong direction, as do like
Speaker 2: seventy percent of Americans, of course, and b that he
Speaker 2: has the wherewithal to fix it. And I think this
Speaker 2: time around John, it's different from twenty sixteen to twenty
Speaker 2: seventeen when he took office that first time, because he
Speaker 2: didn't know Washington then, right, And he didn't know some
Speaker 2: of the players in his own cabinet, didn't know them
Speaker 2: well anyway, right, and didn't know if they were on
Speaker 2: the same page as him exactly. And obviously you know,
Speaker 2: the House Speaker then and the Senate Majority leader as well.
Speaker 2: You know, perhaps they weren't on the same page as
Speaker 2: him as well. I think this time around, with Mike
Speaker 2: Johnson in his House, Speaker John Thune in the Senate
Speaker 2: that he could probably get a lot more dumb. But
Speaker 2: I think that all depends on Johnson because with such
Speaker 2: a slim majority, you got to hurt all those cats.
Speaker 2: I think that's the biggest challenge right now. Can the
Speaker 2: Trump agenda move forward if Republicans don't. I don't want
Speaker 2: to say get in line, because it sounds like there's
Speaker 2: no like original thought or debate or anything like that.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, if they're going to start straying,
Speaker 2: or if they take Johnson out, which I think it
Speaker 2: would be very ill advised going into his presidency because
Speaker 2: we saw what happened with Kevin McCarthy, it's hard to
Speaker 2: find for anybody to agree on to a replacement. I
Speaker 2: think the whole key is the Congress. Did you agree
Speaker 2: with that?
Speaker 4: I would agree it's a then margin in the House,
Speaker 4: and you know, we saw it in the first term
Speaker 4: when we lost the majority, they instantly tried to impeach him,
Speaker 4: and it was on fake stuff, stuff that wasn't even true.
Speaker 4: So President Trump, what's critical right now is that he
Speaker 4: tries to get his tax cuts passed quickly as possible,
Speaker 4: because in the first term he did healthcare first. And
Speaker 4: I asked him, I said, why did you do healthcare?
Speaker 4: You got to do tax cuts, and because tax cuts
Speaker 4: will help you defy the historic downturn in a midterm.
Speaker 4: If you have economic growth, you can keep your majorities.
Speaker 4: And he said, at the time Ryan and McConnell had
Speaker 4: told him they needed the savings quote unquote savings where
Speaker 4: the savings come from. It's only in Washington. They take
Speaker 4: your money and they call it savings, savings from you know,
Speaker 4: reforming healthcare whatever, and then they would do the tax cuts. Well,
Speaker 4: the tax cuts are what you need to grow the economy.
Speaker 4: Ronald Reagan got reelected because his tax cuts worked in
Speaker 4: eighty three and eighty four into the reelection, but we
Speaker 4: lost twenty six Republicans in the midterms in eighty two
Speaker 4: because the tax cuts didn't go into effect until eighty three.
Speaker 4: Trump's tax cuts were slowed down because they didn't get
Speaker 4: pissed till December because he was doing healthcare first, which
Speaker 4: is like doing stalin rid before you try to get
Speaker 4: something done. But in the meantime, this time around, he's
Speaker 4: got a majority and smart people like Larry Cudlows, Steve Forbes,
Speaker 4: Steve Moore. They're telling him, get the tax cuts done first,
Speaker 4: get economic growth in their let Americans feel good, feel better,
Speaker 4: get you know, peace and prosperity going. Maybe we can
Speaker 4: do like we did in two thousand and two where
Speaker 4: the Republicans kept their majorities in the House and Senate.
Speaker 4: At the time, it was because it was after nine
Speaker 4: to eleven. Hopefully God forbid, nothing like that ever happens again.
Speaker 4: But you got to be vigilant. But now it's like,
Speaker 4: if we can grow the economy, we can bring peace back.
Speaker 4: President Trump should be able to maybe expand these majorities
Speaker 4: so that maybe even make them by partisan, bring some
Speaker 4: Democrats on board that it's a good idea to grow
Speaker 4: the economy, that it's a good idea to reduce inflation
Speaker 4: and seal the border and do good things to turn
Speaker 4: the country around.
Speaker 2: So we'll say it will be interesting. I think some Democrats,
Speaker 2: you know, not a lot, but enough may come on board. John,
Speaker 2: because again they just watched this election. You want to
Speaker 2: just continue to resist. Okay, well, in two years you
Speaker 2: very well can lose, and you don't have to listen
Speaker 2: to everything that keem Jeffreys or Nancy Pelosi tells you
Speaker 2: because that they're enough, the stars, the moon, and the sun.
Speaker 2: I mean, think on your own and do what's right
Speaker 2: for the country. That's what I say. Anyway, John, Jersey
Speaker 2: Shore guy, good to talk to you again. Yes we
Speaker 2: had met. It's all coming back to me now. Sorry
Speaker 2: about that. But are you going back down the summer.
Speaker 4: You're writing a book? I do. It's like it's I'm
Speaker 4: down here now and it's really cold.
Speaker 2: Oh God, well trust me, it is up here as well.
Speaker 2: So get ready for January in the Northeast. Anyway, John,
Speaker 2: thanks so much for joining us. Happy New Year. So
Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter will lie in state in the Rotunda at
Speaker 2: the US Capitol in Washington. That will be on the ninth.
Speaker 2: And somebody sent me the electoral map from the nineteen
Speaker 2: seventy sixth election when Carter defeated Jarl Ford. And if
Speaker 2: you you got to take a look at this sometime.
Speaker 2: Here's the states that went red. Okay, Illinois went red,
Speaker 2: Vermont went red, Maine went red. New Jersey went red,
Speaker 2: Virginia went red, California went red, Oregon went red, Washington
Speaker 2: went red blue, Texas Florida, oh Hi, Io, West Virginia, Georgia,
Speaker 2: South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi. I mean it is
Speaker 2: completely backwards. I mean, so things change, I guess, but
Speaker 2: that's just crazy. California went red and Texas went blue.
Speaker 2: Will go figure anyway. This is Joe conca in for
Speaker 2: Sean Hannity. We got your calls. I swear, I swear
Speaker 2: all right. I'm picky swearing it right now like I'd
