Speaker 1: Right, Thanks Scott.
Speaker 2: You had an hour two Sean Hannity Show eight hundred
Speaker 2: and ninety four one Sean, if you want to be
Speaker 2: a part of the program, our final show in our
Speaker 2: nation's capital. And then I escaped back to the Free State,
Speaker 2: the warm, warmer state, not as warm right now. They
Speaker 2: had snow in Pensacola and Tallahassee. For crying out loud,
Speaker 2: I mean South Carolina has snow, and Georgia I think
Speaker 2: had snow, and everybody's getting snow, and guess what, you
Speaker 2: can all keep it. And I prefer no snow in
Speaker 2: South Florida, but that's neither here nor there anyway. So
Speaker 2: we have our interview with the President in the Oval
Speaker 2: Office tonight.
Speaker 1: It'll air nine Eastern.
Speaker 2: Actually we went long, so it'll air tonight and part
Speaker 2: two tomorrow night, which is going to be great. Some
Speaker 2: really really reflective moments of the President and things that
Speaker 2: you've never heard before, and I don't want to give answers.
Speaker 1: And then I asked a bunch of stuff that I
Speaker 1: thought was interesting.
Speaker 2: And you know, you're going to release the JFK files,
Speaker 2: the RFK files, the MLK files, and why you know,
Speaker 2: things that you normally don't talk about. And then we
Speaker 2: talked about the economy and foreign policy in Putin and
Speaker 2: Chi and the Mullahs in Iran and the economy and
Speaker 2: energy and all the things that you might expect. We also,
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if there's going to er tonight, but
Speaker 2: we went into a long, long discussion. He was very relaxed,
Speaker 2: very dialed in, very focused, and it was just a
Speaker 2: great experience for me.
Speaker 1: And I think you.
Speaker 2: Really get to see more of the person that I've
Speaker 2: known for thirty years, I think in this interview than
Speaker 2: any other interview I've done. And anyway, so part one
Speaker 2: of that will air tonight. It will be the full
Speaker 2: hour on Hannity on the Fox News Channel. Let's go
Speaker 2: back out, and we do talk a lot about Los
Speaker 2: Angeles and California and forestry and him and Gavin Newsom
Speaker 2: in twenty eighteen, which we played that clip numerous times
Speaker 2: on this program. And I mean, there really is no
Speaker 2: excuse for not having the water from northern California flow
Speaker 2: down to southern California. There's no well, what's the purpose
Speaker 2: of having a hydrant if there's no water in the hydrant?
Speaker 2: What is the purpose of having a reservoir if it's
Speaker 2: not full of water. And what is the purpose of
Speaker 2: getting a degree in forestry if you're not going to
Speaker 2: practice management of areas that are known for wildfires and
Speaker 2: for drought. It's insane and that known for Santa Ana
Speaker 2: wins well. This has now resulted in a petition. It's
Speaker 2: at change dot org dot petition demanding the resignation of
Speaker 2: the La Mayor, Karen Bass. In two days, they got
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty two thousand signatures. That's how bad
Speaker 2: this has been for people out there. I've never met
Speaker 2: anybody that's not true. There are politicians that are that
Speaker 2: bad and that incompetent, and she is one of them.
Speaker 2: Here she addresses reporters questions about the impact of the
Speaker 2: budget cuts to the LA Fire Department.
Speaker 1: And meanwhile, keep in mind, as you.
Speaker 2: Hear this, they allocated federal state dollars six hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty million dollars to make the Port of La green,
Speaker 2: and they advocated even more money if you can believe it,
Speaker 2: for wind turbines.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's insanity. Ay, Well, here she is.
Speaker 3: Can you address the criticism now over the budget issue
Speaker 3: and the slashing seventeen million dollars.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 5: I think if you go back and look at the
Speaker 5: reductions that were made, there were no reductions that were
Speaker 5: made that would have impacted the situation that we were
Speaker 5: dealing with over the last couple of days. And then
Speaker 5: there was a little bit there was a little bit
Speaker 5: of confusion because money was allocated to be distributed later on,
Speaker 5: which was actually going to support salaries and other parts
Speaker 5: of the fire department that were distributed a little later.
Speaker 5: I think it's most important to understand that we were
Speaker 5: in tough budgetary times. Everybody knew that, but that the
Speaker 5: impact of our budget really did not impact what we've
Speaker 5: been going through over the last few days. Again, back
Speaker 5: to the unprecedented wind storm when at such verocity that
Speaker 5: we haven't seen in years.
Speaker 2: Okay, you want to blame Santa Anna wins. They're predictable.
Speaker 2: They happen quite often out there, and she was warned
Speaker 2: by the fire chief specifically that they had half the
Speaker 2: manpower if they ever had a major fire in Los Angeles.
Speaker 2: Joel Pollock, who's going to join us in a minute,
Speaker 2: says he has spoken to the White House Advanced Team
Speaker 2: for Donald Trump on what they need to do to
Speaker 2: help the Pacific Palisades. The President did confirm that he's
Speaker 2: going to North Carolina.
Speaker 1: He is going.
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about that, Linda, which is the
Speaker 2: right thing to do, And we talked a lot about
Speaker 2: the help and whether or not I won't give it
Speaker 2: the answer that that help should be contingent on actions
Speaker 2: that are taken. Anyway, Here's what Joel Pollack said.
Speaker 6: Hi, everyone, this is Joel Pollack from Breitbart News. As
Speaker 6: I was driving down Sunset Boulevard today, I noticed a
Speaker 6: group of cars parking. I thought it was a local
Speaker 6: or state official, but it turned out to be the
Speaker 6: advanced team for the Trump White House, twenty four.
Speaker 1: Hours after he took the oath of office. He is already.
Speaker 6: Planning a visit to Pacific Palisades and other areas that
Speaker 6: are affected by the wildfires.
Speaker 1: And I spoke to his advanced team.
Speaker 6: You can see them there behind me, and I told
Speaker 6: them what they need to look at when they come
Speaker 6: to Pacific Palisades and what the issues are here. The
Speaker 6: lack of water pressure, the lack of leadership from the city,
Speaker 6: the traffic jam that happened on Sunset Boulevard because of
Speaker 6: a lack of traffic officers on scene. We love our police,
Speaker 6: we love our fire fighters, but there was a lack
Speaker 6: of leadership and coordination by city officials. And I've talked
Speaker 6: about the other issues as well, and I am confident
Speaker 6: that when they visit on Friday, they're going to talk.
Speaker 1: To those of us who live here.
Speaker 6: And who understand the issues, and to understand that much
Speaker 6: more could have been done to save the Pacific Palisades.
Speaker 2: All right, Joel Pollock, Senior editor at large at bright
Speaker 2: Bart News and also Kiarra Davis, LA, Resident author of
Speaker 2: Drawing Lines, Why Conservatives must begin to battle fiercely in
Speaker 2: the arena of ideas. Thank you both both you know
Speaker 2: live out there, Joel, let me start with you, based
Speaker 2: on what you saw out there, I mean Donald Trump,
Speaker 2: it told me personally he's going out there. I asked
Speaker 2: him extensively about the issues involving Gavin. Gavin has been
Speaker 2: trying to Trump through California. I think the state legislators
Speaker 2: putting aside twenty five to fifty million dollars for lawsuits
Speaker 2: against the federal government, which only costs the taxpayers of
Speaker 2: California more money. And you know, all this money spent
Speaker 2: on green energy and they cut back on the fire department,
Speaker 2: they don't practice forestry, they don't have any water.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's ridiculous.
Speaker 7: It is ridiculous, and people are really upset about it.
Speaker 7: There are areas where private property owners were not able
Speaker 7: to clear brush on state land or land in the
Speaker 7: Santa Monica Conservancy, which is in the mountains here near
Speaker 7: the upper part of the Pacific Palisade. That's where the
Speaker 7: fuel for the fire came. And this city did not
Speaker 7: coordinate the emergency response. Again, we have great firefighters and
Speaker 7: great police, but there was nobody quarterbacking the emergency effort.
Speaker 7: The agencies weren't talking to one another. Rudy Giuliani on
Speaker 7: nine to eleven had a command center. It was hit,
Speaker 7: it was destroyed. You set up another command center. There
Speaker 7: was one person in charge, one point contact through which
Speaker 7: everything could go. Somebody knew what to do and how
Speaker 7: to keep everybody talking to each other. And that did
Speaker 7: not happen here. And it's a miracle. More people weren't
Speaker 7: killed because of that traffic jam that you heard me
Speaker 7: talk about in the clip. People had to abandon their
Speaker 7: cars and run for their lives because there was nobody
Speaker 7: directing traffic in the evacuation, and that is a failure
Speaker 7: of city leadership, and we have yet to hear anybody
Speaker 7: take responsibility. The Ela County fire chief, not the city
Speaker 7: fire chief, but the La County fire chief apologized to
Speaker 7: the residents that as far as we've had any kind
Speaker 7: of accountability, but nobody else is.
Speaker 2: And in fairness to that fire chief, the fire chief
Speaker 2: is the one that said we only have half staff
Speaker 2: to go and fight a wildfire, and that warning was
Speaker 2: given well in advance of this fire.
Speaker 7: That's correct, and all that we've seen from everybody else
Speaker 7: is patting themselves on the back for what a great
Speaker 7: effort they've done. And that's why Trump needs to come
Speaker 7: here and he needs to intervene and tell California to
Speaker 7: get it act together because this is not acceptable, not
Speaker 7: just to those of us who live here, this is
Speaker 7: becoming a drag on the nation. We're going to ask
Speaker 7: the nation to bail us out. Then we have to
Speaker 7: make sure that we take measures to stop this from
Speaker 7: happening again, because it cannot happen over and over again.
Speaker 7: Florida has a snowstorm coming. Ron De Santis is out
Speaker 7: there with all the emergency vehicles you need, with all
Speaker 7: the power teams, power companies, whatever. He's got everything in place.
Speaker 7: Gavin Newsom, where is he?
Speaker 8: You know?
Speaker 7: I did a story about that. Today. I got an
Speaker 7: email from Newsom's office. They want me to correct the
Speaker 7: story because they say, well, we did send sixty five
Speaker 7: engines throughout southern California. Yeah, maybe you sent sixty five
Speaker 7: engines for one of the most extreme wind events in
Speaker 7: local memory. But there were none here and this town
Speaker 7: burnt down. So I'm not correcting my article. And that's
Speaker 7: the thing. They want to look good. They don't want
Speaker 7: to do the right thing.
Speaker 2: I think it raised a lot of great points and
Speaker 2: I don't think there's any excuse on anybody's part. And
Speaker 2: the one guy that took responsibility, frankly, was the one
Speaker 2: that I was warning about what would happen and how
Speaker 2: unprepared they were.
Speaker 1: Kiera Davis, your reaction.
Speaker 8: To this, well, I want to point out that everything
Speaker 8: we learn moving forward makes the situation worse. I reported
Speaker 8: a story over my sub sect this week. I got
Speaker 8: a tip from a friend in Arizona who said their
Speaker 8: neighbor worked for LAFD but lives in Arizona. So I
Speaker 8: did a little poking around and it turns out that
Speaker 8: even as resably as twenty twenty, the La Times reported
Speaker 8: that La City is missing up to three percent of
Speaker 8: their fire force. They live in other states and they
Speaker 8: commute in for work, So there were a lot and
Speaker 8: on the night of the firestorms that Joel was talking
Speaker 8: about so passionately, every off duty LAFD officer.
Speaker 4: Was called to duty.
Speaker 8: How many of those people weren't even living in the
Speaker 8: state to get here. I'm not blaming anyone for taking
Speaker 8: advantage of these loopholes, because this is a difficult state
Speaker 8: to live in and thrive in. I'm blaming the government,
Speaker 8: Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass, and the supermajority in Sacramento for
Speaker 8: making it impossible for people to live and thrive here,
Speaker 8: especially the people who serve our citizens. And as Joels,
Speaker 8: I just want to echo with Joel said, because being
Speaker 8: here and having to watch these idiots give their stupid
Speaker 8: press conferences every day, they never give information. All they
Speaker 8: do is congratulate each other and what a great job
Speaker 8: they're doing.
Speaker 1: Well. I mean it, it is amazing.
Speaker 2: Actually, it's sort of like and this actually came up
Speaker 2: in my conversation with Donald Trump at Alire tonight. You know,
Speaker 2: the two assassins would be assassins. You know what did
Speaker 2: the what did the Secret Service say, Oh, that was
Speaker 2: a slope roof.
Speaker 1: No, it was not a slope roof. That was a lie.
Speaker 2: So we put them inside the building. What you can't
Speaker 2: see anything inside the building. You needed people surrounding the
Speaker 2: perimeter of the build bilding so nobody can get on
Speaker 2: the roof of the building one hundred and thirty yards
Speaker 2: with a scope AR fifteen and nearly assassinate a former
Speaker 2: president and top presidential candidate.
Speaker 1: But they allowed that to happen. They made that excuse.
Speaker 2: Then Trump International, the same story occurs a known area
Speaker 2: where paparazzi hang out, a treat area surrounding Trump International.
Speaker 2: They never swept the area, and if it were not
Speaker 2: for one eagle eyed, sharp shooting Secret Service agent, Donald
Speaker 2: Trump would have been killed. Then he got within three
Speaker 2: hundred yards of the president with an AK forty seven
Speaker 2: and a scope on it. I mean, you can't miss
Speaker 2: that shot. I mean we're just lucky it didn't happen. Now, Joel,
Speaker 2: they're saying that these fires are continuing to burn. As
Speaker 2: you know, Santa Ana wins have returned to strength and
Speaker 2: fuel fires near San Diego this point.
Speaker 7: Yes, there is a fire burning today at Lake Hughes
Speaker 7: and it is moving rapidly in strong winds, and they've
Speaker 7: just sent eight helicopters over there to try to deal
Speaker 7: with it. It's not as the incident as we expand
Speaker 7: from the seventh of January, so hopefully they can get
Speaker 7: those airborne assets up there to dump water on the
Speaker 7: fire and do what's to do. But a lot of
Speaker 7: what you're seeing right now in California is shutting the
Speaker 7: stable door after the horses have bolted. So they're all
Speaker 7: coming out with press releases about how they're preparing for
Speaker 7: the next wind event. And this weekend we have rains,
Speaker 7: they're preparing for the rain event because there could be landslides.
Speaker 7: So now they want to be seen to be doing
Speaker 7: the right thing. But they did not do it before
Speaker 7: January seventh. And they were actually having press conferences on
Speaker 7: January eighth, three hundred yards away from where I'm standing,
Speaker 7: further down on the beach, while the town was still
Speaker 7: burning up above, and people watched their houses burn, while
Speaker 7: the governor and the mayor were going to be press conferences,
Speaker 7: and they couldn't get fire here, So there needs to
Speaker 7: be accountability, and it's not going to come from California.
Speaker 7: It's got to come from, first of all, the Republicans
Speaker 7: in Congress, who need to investigate California's failure and Los Angeles'
Speaker 7: failure effect everybody. We're supposed to have the Olympics here
Speaker 7: in three years. We can't do that if we have
Speaker 7: this level of incompetence in city management. And then the
Speaker 7: Trump administration needs to take charge of the rebuilding effort
Speaker 7: and make sure that the agendas of the Democratic Party
Speaker 7: to cover itself don't complicate the agendas. This is an
Speaker 7: area that is more conservative than other parts of LA.
Speaker 7: They voted for Rick Caruso for mayor in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 7: not Karen Bass, and he managed to save his mall
Speaker 7: using private fire fighters. Nobody blames him for that. People
Speaker 7: say that to the evidence of what could have been
Speaker 7: done if there were more fire trucks, if there was
Speaker 7: more water. But there's also a lot of Democrat agenda
Speaker 7: stuff happening here where the Democratic Party wants to control
Speaker 7: the rebuilding. We're going to try to impose all their
Speaker 7: own priorities. They want zoning for low income housing, or
Speaker 7: they want environmentally friendly, climate friendly whatever.
Speaker 2: Well, look you know to that, I say this, take
Speaker 2: a look at the skies over La even today and
Speaker 2: tell me how's the air quality out there and how
Speaker 2: good is that for the environment. I'm just running out
Speaker 2: of time. I do appreciate both of you, Kira Davis,
Speaker 2: Joe Pollock, Thank you both, and to all our friends
Speaker 2: that have suffered here.
Speaker 1: Our prayers are with you. But you better change your government.
Speaker 2: But unless you want more of the same to our phones,
Speaker 2: we go, Paul, my free state of Florida. I can't
Speaker 2: wait to get back. It's very cold in DC. I
Speaker 2: hope my state misses me because I miss it.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 9: We miss you terribly too. But it is a little
Speaker 9: cool for us, for a Ridians down here right now.
Speaker 2: I've been reading about it. But I'm a little more
Speaker 2: south probably than you are.
Speaker 1: Where are you?
Speaker 9: About fifty miles south of Jacksonville.
Speaker 2: Okay, point of Jacksonville got snow, is my understanding.
Speaker 9: The north side of Jacksonville got a little flurries, yes, sir.
Speaker 2: And so did the panandle I mean Pensacola got snow.
Speaker 9: Pensacola got a lot of snow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, crazy John, I wanted to miss mention.
Speaker 9: The hypocrisy of the Democrats center in office is chilling me.
Speaker 9: Back in twenty twenty, you mentioned mister Trump, President Trump,
Speaker 9: you should pardon your family and yourself. They're going to
Speaker 9: hunt you. What did they do? And then today here
Speaker 9: we are with mister Biden pardoning his family with everything
Speaker 9: that crime family has done, and the Democrats act like
Speaker 9: it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. I just don't
Speaker 9: understand it. They have to hear themselves saying these things.
Speaker 2: Look, I could play it for you. I played it yesterday.
Speaker 2: Maybe it's worth playing again. But you know, you have
Speaker 2: Chuck Schumer and the media and Democrats and Adam Scheff
Speaker 2: will end with Adam Scheff, you know, slamming Trump in
Speaker 2: twenty twenty over the issue of preemptive pardons. And now
Speaker 2: they sit idly by and silent, and if anything, they
Speaker 2: just justify the fact that Joe did it because what
Speaker 2: they really fear that they'll never express. They know what
Speaker 2: they did to Trump was wrong. They know they weaponized justice.
Speaker 2: They know that they tried to use law fair to
Speaker 2: prevent him from ever becoming president. They threw everything they
Speaker 2: possibly had at this man, and they failed. And so
Speaker 2: what they fear is, and this is where the preemptive
Speaker 2: pardons come up, is that what they did would be
Speaker 2: done to them. And that's what the origins of this is.
Speaker 2: Listen to this montage.
Speaker 10: President's reportedly asking his staff whether he can issue preemptive
Speaker 10: pardons for himself as family members. Rudy Giuliani, there's a
Speaker 10: simple answer. No, No, mister president, that would be a
Speaker 10: gross abuse of the presidential pardon authority.
Speaker 1: Do you say thos pardons are appropriate? Do you think
Speaker 1: they would be legal?
Speaker 3: I don't think they are appropriate at all.
Speaker 5: This is an administration that came in drifting, and it
Speaker 5: appears it's going to lead the same way.
Speaker 2: Is there an innocent explanation for someone to seek preemptive pardons.
Speaker 1: For family members? Would you do that if you knew you.
Speaker 2: Were innocent and just worried about outside forces?
Speaker 4: The answer to that is going to be no.
Speaker 11: And you know, if you haven't done anything wrong, you
Speaker 11: sit there and go, what do you need a preemptive
Speaker 11: pardon for. It's an effort not only to prospectively pardon
Speaker 11: people for things they have not yet been charged with
Speaker 11: and may never be charged with. But also it's the
Speaker 11: president's own family, its people that had been covering up
Speaker 11: from the president, in addition to his own family, and
Speaker 11: so there is a self interest at play as well,
Speaker 11: and I think that makes this quite unique.
Speaker 2: Oh what a change in heart. What's your reaction, Paul.
Speaker 2: And then you have, you know, the Rachel Maddows of
Speaker 2: the world. Joe Biden said it, Chucky Schumant Schumer said it.
Speaker 2: Adam Schiff who got a pardon, a preemptive pardon, he
Speaker 2: said it, you know, and these MSDNC, fake news CNN
Speaker 2: people said it. And it's just it's pretty amazing to me.
Speaker 2: And then you know, Joe Biden said he wouldn't do it,
Speaker 2: and he did it. One thing I'll say about Trump
Speaker 2: a lot of people, and I asked him about this tonight,
Speaker 2: you know, he ran and he said he's going to
Speaker 2: get pardons to the people convicted about January sixth. He said,
Speaker 2: they've they've spent enough time in jail and they were
Speaker 2: unfairly targeted a lot of them.
Speaker 1: And he said, no, I'm sorry.
Speaker 9: Yet, people can burn down cities and it's a peaceful protest,
Speaker 9: and let's make accounts for him, so we can we
Speaker 9: can bail them out of jail.
Speaker 2: I mean, exactly five hundred and seventy four riots in
Speaker 2: the summer of twenty twenty. We had dozens of dead Americans,
Speaker 2: thousands of injured cops, billions in property damage. We have
Speaker 2: videotape evidence. They never prosecuted these people. And remember, Kamalo,
Speaker 2: they're not going to stop. We're not going to stop.
Speaker 2: They shouldn't stop anyway, my friend, thank you. Eight hundred
Speaker 2: nine to four one, Shawn our number of Richard, Massachusetts. Richard,
Speaker 2: how are you glad you called?
Speaker 1: Sar.
Speaker 3: How are you doing, mister Hannity.
Speaker 1: I'm good, sir. What's going on, mister Hannity.
Speaker 3: I'm so glad that Trump won. You know, when he lost,
Speaker 3: I almost had a het attack. I didn't think I
Speaker 3: was going to be able to live through it. And
Speaker 3: all the time when he was gone, I was thinking,
Speaker 3: why don't you run for like president or something really big.
Speaker 3: You're a very intelligent man. You're very honest. When people
Speaker 3: are being killed in the world, you always say get
Speaker 3: their names, you know, on TV to show how much
Speaker 3: you care about the people. And I personally myself, you
Speaker 3: know where you're such a big fan of mister Trump.
Speaker 3: I believe that you'd have a lot of followers. I
Speaker 3: believe whatever you wanted to run for, I believe you
Speaker 3: would win.
Speaker 2: I don't know if if I could win dog Catcher.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think Linda would ever vote for
Speaker 2: me number one, for anything.
Speaker 1: I would vote for you two or three times, like a.
Speaker 2: True vote early vote office and vote under many different names.
Speaker 2: Forget about voter integrity that we that we fight for
Speaker 2: every day. You know, I've just never felt a calling
Speaker 2: to run for higher office.
Speaker 9: You know.
Speaker 2: I spent a lot of time with these congressmen yesterday,
Speaker 2: and I did see Senator John Thune last night as well, and.
Speaker 1: I had an interview with him. We're going to air
Speaker 1: that later in the week.
Speaker 2: And I can only tell you this, and I'll be
Speaker 2: very blunt with you. I'm although I got to admit,
Speaker 2: being in the Oval office is a very very cool experience,
Speaker 2: and all of you in this audience make that possible
Speaker 2: for me because you watch Hannity the TV show, and
Speaker 2: you listen to the Sean Hannity radio show, and I
Speaker 2: never forget that part of it, but it is, you know,
Speaker 2: and I won't reveal. Had a private conversation with President Trump.
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about about being back there, and
Speaker 2: we'll air a lot of it. We talked about it
Speaker 2: on air and then we talked about it more personally
Speaker 2: off air. And today happens to be his twentieth wedding anniversary,
Speaker 2: which is pretty cool. And anyway, it's a special place.
Speaker 2: I wish every American got a chance to go there
Speaker 2: and to sit there and to see how hard the
Speaker 2: job is. The weight of the world is on your shoulders.
Speaker 2: That is not an easy job at any moment. And
Speaker 2: we talked about, you know, terrorists being in this country,
Speaker 2: and I said, mister President, you know, at any moment,
Speaker 2: your whole the trajectory of your presidency can shift and
Speaker 2: we can be in a war footing, and you know
Speaker 2: it's that has to be in the back of your
Speaker 2: mind at all times. Anyway, I appreciate the call. Well,
Speaker 2: you're very kind, Richard. If God calls me to do something,
Speaker 2: then I'm not going to say no. I'm just hoping
Speaker 2: he doesn't knock on that door. Quick break right back.
Speaker 2: We'll get to your phone. Calls eight hundred nine four
Speaker 2: one shaw on number if you want to be a
Speaker 2: part of the program as we continue final hour my
Speaker 2: town hall with Congress last night and Speaker of the
Speaker 2: House Mike Johnson. Straight ahead, all right, we continue back
Speaker 2: to our busy phones. Let's say hi to Carolyn in California. Carolyn,
Speaker 2: so sorry for all that you guys have suffered through.
Speaker 4: Yes, Sean, I was calling about if President Trump has
Speaker 4: something in mind for the senior citizens, because we're taking
Speaker 4: that one two punch between Social Security and Medicare. I
Speaker 4: waited day by day and through the voting and the outcome.
Speaker 4: That was more important to me than Christmas, that Trump
Speaker 4: would make it through.
Speaker 2: I don't know if election day should be more important
Speaker 2: than Jesus's birthday. I'm not sure, but it was pretty
Speaker 2: dark important. I'll tell you that I was.
Speaker 4: I was with Jesus and talking to him at the
Speaker 4: same time. But I'm just talking about the typical presence
Speaker 4: and that type of thing that didn't That was not
Speaker 4: important to me.
Speaker 3: What was important to.
Speaker 4: Me was that I make it through Christmas and through
Speaker 4: the nomination of Trump running and his actual winning. And
Speaker 4: I was on pins and needles the night that he
Speaker 4: went through the voting process. So I just want to know.
Speaker 4: I know he said some things about Medicare and how
Speaker 4: the administration had put a real dent in our medicare,
Speaker 4: which is true, and we're taking a pounding when it
Speaker 4: comes to that for seniors and every since count that we.
Speaker 9: Get each month.
Speaker 4: So and I'm retired, so I don't want to end
Speaker 4: up going to Walmart.
Speaker 2: You know, well you should go to Walmart, and I
Speaker 2: like Walmart, but putting that aside, you should not have
Speaker 2: any benefits cut. And one of the things again we
Speaker 2: got into a lot of specificity in detail, but you know,
Speaker 2: we talked about how rich this country can be if
Speaker 2: we just tap into our energy resources. Guess what, we'd
Speaker 2: be able to give everybody a bigger, a larger cost
Speaker 2: of living adjustment increase in Medicare, social Security. We'd be
Speaker 2: able to salvage that from insolvency, stop robbing from our
Speaker 2: from future generations and our children and grandchildren, pay down
Speaker 2: our debt and live within our means. And there's so
Speaker 2: much that can be done if we just if we
Speaker 2: just apply simple common sense to governing, and we're much
Speaker 2: better than what we had the last four years. I mean,
Speaker 2: I promise you Joe Biden could never do an interview
Speaker 2: like Donald Trump did with me today, and I wouldn't
Speaker 2: have cared if it was with a you know, liberal.
Speaker 2: I want to know what the president's thinking. I'll tell
Speaker 2: you what. What I think makes my interviews with Donald
Speaker 2: Trump different than most other people is I let him talk.
Speaker 2: I want to hear him talk, and you know, at
Speaker 2: the right time, I'll interject and maybe move the interview
Speaker 2: along a little bit of you know, we're talking about
Speaker 2: a topic too long, as you only have a limited
Speaker 2: time frame to do it. But I want people to
Speaker 2: hear what their president is thinking, what he's believing, what
Speaker 2: he's saying, because it matters. Carolyn, Thank you, Tim, and Colorado.
Speaker 2: We have a minute for you.
Speaker 1: Tim. How glad you called.
Speaker 12: Hey, Shaun a longtime listener, first time caller, Thanks for
Speaker 12: having me. You know, I wanted to see what President
Speaker 12: Trump's thoughts are on addressing Chinese landownership in this country
Speaker 12: since TikTok's on top of mind the Panama Canals being
Speaker 12: run through proxy from a company they own. If there's
Speaker 12: anything on the table to address that.
Speaker 2: I talked to him about China. He did have a
Speaker 2: conversation with President she I got one little tidbit off
Speaker 2: the record, and then what he said on air. I
Speaker 2: think his plan ultimately is to have a good relationship
Speaker 2: with all these countries. But I think he knows he's
Speaker 2: dealing with bad actors and that it's going to take strength,
Speaker 2: and they're going to have to believe he means it
Speaker 2: if he's gonna put tarifs on these countries, and I
Speaker 2: have no doubt he will be successful. He's a very
Speaker 2: strong human being. America got to see that. They saw
Speaker 2: Donald Trump stand up after nearly dying, and we spent
Speaker 2: a lot of time on the assassination attempt on his life,
Speaker 2: and he stood up and he said fight, fight fight.
Speaker 2: That is not your average person. That is not that
Speaker 2: is not you know, people ask all the time, who's
Speaker 2: the next Donald Trump. I'm like, there is nobody, there
Speaker 2: will be. Nobody doesn't mean there aren't good conservatives, there
Speaker 2: aren't people that won't push the MAGA agenda.
Speaker 1: There was never another Reagan. There was only one Reagan.
Speaker 2: There's never gonna be another guy like Trump. And that's
Speaker 2: why these four years matter. That's why I took the
Speaker 2: time to go to Congress last night and make sure
Speaker 2: they're on the right page so that they can implement
Speaker 2: the Trump Agenda, which by the way, we're going to
Speaker 2: air in the final hour of the program today anyway.
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the call. I really do.
Speaker 2: We have to deal with China, Russia. We mentioned Russia
Speaker 2: earlier in the program today, Iran. We got big challenges
Speaker 2: ahead of us this country. And the good news is,
Speaker 2: I think all of these problems we have we're going
Speaker 2: to be able to fix with just simple common sense measures. Hey,
Speaker 2: if you're a small business owner, if you have kids,
Speaker 2: listen up, how great would it be if you could
