Speaker 1: All right, I re number three of the Sean Hannity's Show,
Speaker 1: Joe kancha Fox News contributor in for Sean eight hundred
Speaker 1: and ninety four to one Sean Sea And if you
Speaker 1: want to be a part of the program, I've been
Speaker 1: promising to get to your calls all show, but we've
Speaker 1: had so many great guests it's been hard to make
Speaker 1: the pivot. Well, now we've opened up a nice fourteen
Speaker 1: to fifteen minutes right here to take your calls from
Speaker 1: all across the country. Obviously, we're on something like what
Speaker 1: seven hundred radio station, so filling the callboard ain't hard.
Speaker 1: So let's go with you know I've never been. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with states i've never been to before first,
Speaker 1: and that would be South Dakota I've never been to,
Speaker 1: which is a crime, because I heard it's gorgeous. So
Speaker 1: let's go to Dale in South Dakota. How are you Dale?
Speaker 1: How's a weather there?
Speaker 2: It's cold, Joe, it's only twenty six degrees, but it's
Speaker 2: it's gonna be hitting below zero real quick. And it
Speaker 2: is beautiful here.
Speaker 1: I've heard, Yeah, but why why stay? I'm just curious.
Speaker 1: It is beautiful, yes, but those winners are brutal, Like
Speaker 1: don't you want to just be like, all right, Florida
Speaker 1: and be done with it.
Speaker 2: When I when I get old enough, I'll be going
Speaker 2: to Arizona for the winner and up here in the summertime.
Speaker 2: That's the planned.
Speaker 1: That's a good plan. So what do you want to
Speaker 1: talk about?
Speaker 2: Well, so this is John Soon country, and and just
Speaker 2: just quickly your subject you were talking about earlier. I
Speaker 2: thought it was the Conservatives that that carried the water
Speaker 2: in this last election. So I don't want the Republicans
Speaker 2: that are the in the uniparty to think that it
Speaker 2: was the Republicans that won the election, because it was
Speaker 2: the Conservatives that carried the election for the Republicans. Okay,
Speaker 2: just my opinion on that, But.
Speaker 1: You're right Trump really.
Speaker 3: Yep?
Speaker 1: Right? Well now, o, Lord Sean McCormick, I don't think
Speaker 1: wins in Pennsylvania like that Senesceee. For example, without Trump,
Speaker 1: there were several races that he tipped the other way
Speaker 1: as a result of his coattails. But yeah, I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't is there even like a base for establish
Speaker 1: Republicans anymore, because I don't think it really exists, Like, oh,
Speaker 1: the Mitch McConnell, you know wing of the party. There
Speaker 1: is no wing, you know, it's it's it's a maggot party. Now,
Speaker 1: let's face it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I hope John soon has listened under this because
Speaker 2: he's he's one of the guys that needs to realize that.
Speaker 1: Is the establishment. You think, oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's he's a mini Mitch. Oh wow, Okay, election
Speaker 2: time unless it's election time. But I I hope, uh,
Speaker 2: I hope John pulls through.
Speaker 1: Okay, because I wonder, like politically, like what's the upside
Speaker 1: if he wants to like be another McConnell right and
Speaker 1: resist Trump on some things. Given the mandate that he has,
Speaker 1: I just think you want political survival and even popularity.
Speaker 1: I would I would go along with the Trump agenda
Speaker 1: because that's what the American people voted for. Well.
Speaker 2: I still I still got faith in him. So I hope,
Speaker 2: I hope he does.
Speaker 1: Article thing I'm.
Speaker 2: Concerned about Joe is uh. I still think that the swamp,
Speaker 2: you know, they whoever, who's they that those whoever's been
Speaker 2: running the government for the last four years. I still
Speaker 2: think the only way that they can still win and
Speaker 2: they never quit, is to take Trump out still so
Speaker 2: I'm I'm concerned for his safety. I still think, you know,
Speaker 2: they tried twice. I still think, you know, I'm just
Speaker 2: worried about them trying to take him out somehow. And
Speaker 2: I hope you know that the powers that be are
Speaker 2: really really watching out for him, because I wouldn't put
Speaker 2: it past them, you know, the you know, and I
Speaker 2: know I'm using them and they but we all know
Speaker 2: who they are, you know. I hope that Trump's being
Speaker 2: really careful and that they're they're looking out for him.
Speaker 1: I think Dale in your concerns, you know, warranted. Obviously,
Speaker 1: there were two assassinations attempts on him in the span
Speaker 1: of you know, less than two months, I mean, and
Speaker 1: the second one was particularly scary. I mean, the first
Speaker 1: one obviously it is a bullet his ear, but the
Speaker 1: second one, I mean, for a sniper's nest, for this
Speaker 1: guy Ryan Ruth to be sitting in it for twelve hours,
Speaker 1: and the Secret Service doesn't do a simple perimeter check
Speaker 1: on a golf course that he's playing. That just floored me.
Speaker 1: All that said, Trump doesn't have to campaign anymore, so
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he'll be doing you know, the kind
Speaker 1: of outdoor events that they did in Butler, Pennsylvania, middle
Speaker 1: of a field somewhere where you know, a twenty year
Speaker 1: old can now flank the Secret Service and local law
Speaker 1: enforcement and leave a rifle behind an air conditioner and
Speaker 1: somehow it doesn't get discovered. And then he's on top
Speaker 1: of a roof where actually there's law enforcement inside the building.
Speaker 1: Why they're in there while Trump's out there speaking, I
Speaker 1: have no idea or why they even send Trump out
Speaker 1: there in the first place when they knew there was
Speaker 1: a threat. So, yeah, your concerns are warranted. But now
Speaker 1: that he's president and he doesn't have to campaign as
Speaker 1: more as much, I would think that probably any events
Speaker 1: that he does will be extremely well protected. They'll probably
Speaker 1: be inside. And I was at mar A Lago this weekend.
Speaker 1: I'm writing a book on the president and his campaign,
Speaker 1: and they were kind enough to invite me to the
Speaker 1: New Year's Eve party, and I could tell you that
Speaker 1: there were layers upon layers upon layers of security there
Speaker 1: where no one was going to get near Donald Trump.
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, now to the's president, certainly
Speaker 1: that gives him more protection, one would think. And now
Speaker 1: he isn't campaigning, he won't be as exposed as as often.
Speaker 1: So that said, I understand your concern, but I have
Speaker 1: a feeling that Donald Trump's gonna be just fine.
Speaker 2: Well, I love the guy, and I the next four
Speaker 2: years are just gonna be incredible, and the effects that
Speaker 2: he'll have will follow way into, you know, maybe for
Speaker 2: the next sixteen to twenty years, just like Ronald Reagan's did.
Speaker 2: And I witnessed that, and I just can't wait. All
Speaker 2: of a sudden my grandkids and my kids, all of
Speaker 2: a sudden the future looks much brighter for them. So
Speaker 2: and thanks Joe, great bro Joe, thank.
Speaker 1: You, got it, Dal thank you. Yeah, there's a lot
Speaker 1: of optimism going into this administration, rightly, so right because
Speaker 1: I remember I was at the Trump rally in Wildwood
Speaker 1: and they were kind of enough to actually fly me
Speaker 1: down there in the Trump plane, which was kind of
Speaker 1: cool because you're like, Okay, what kind of food we're
Speaker 1: gonna have here, like lobster tail, have some steak, and
Speaker 1: it was Wendy's. It was cheeseburger and tater Tott's friend
Speaker 1: fries coke. But it was quite good, and plus Trump
Speaker 1: loves fast food, so well, why was I expecting that
Speaker 1: other stuff. The point is that when I got down
Speaker 1: to Wildwood, then from there he had this one line.
Speaker 1: So I'm taking like notes like throughout the speech, and
Speaker 1: they put me like right up front. I'm next to
Speaker 1: Lawrence Taller and Otis Anderson, which I thought was like
Speaker 1: beyond cool, because one's a Super Bowl MVP and the
Speaker 1: other one's the greatest, you know, probably past Rusher, at
Speaker 1: least the greatest linebacker of all time. So you go
Speaker 1: to these things and you're next to people that you
Speaker 1: never thought you'd be next to. Anyway, the point is
Speaker 1: that I would be taking notes throughout the speech to
Speaker 1: see if he says something that I haven't heard before.
Speaker 1: And the one thing that really got me where I
Speaker 1: put a couple of asterisks around it, is he said,
Speaker 1: you know, this movement is more popular than ever. Not
Speaker 1: me so much, but this movement, he said, because in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen, you had to imagine what a Hillary Clinton
Speaker 1: presidency would be like, and in twenty twenty, you'd have
Speaker 1: to imagine what a Biden presidency would be like. He goes,
Speaker 1: Now you've seen the alternative, You've lived the alternative, you've
Speaker 1: experienced it, you've witnessed it. It impacted you, probably directly,
Speaker 1: and most people don't like the alternative. So that's why
Speaker 1: we're more powerful and popular than ever. I'm like that,
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. Now that people have experienced what a
Speaker 1: Biden administration, what a Democratic administration, the modern day Democratic Party,
Speaker 1: you know, the party of coastal elites, the Party of war,
Speaker 1: the party of censorship. Now that we've seen them in
Speaker 1: power and what they're willing to do to keep power.
Speaker 1: They're not your daddy's donkeys, that's certainly for sure. And
Speaker 1: they're not the party of the working man and woman.
Speaker 1: So that's where we're at at this point. A lot
Speaker 1: of optimism going into this Trump administration because they lived
Speaker 1: his presidency. They're nostalgic for it, and this time around
Speaker 1: it could be even better because Trump knows Washington, he
Speaker 1: knows the players that are around him, and he probably
Speaker 1: has a much better I know, he has a much
Speaker 1: better team around him this time around, as far as
Speaker 1: his cabinet selections and a House speaker that is in
Speaker 1: line with him. And you know, to our last caller's point,
Speaker 1: Dale's point, John Thune, is he another McConnell or will
Speaker 1: he be somebody who exceeds expectations and doesn't do the
Speaker 1: establishment thing, because there is no more establishment based for
Speaker 1: the Republican Party. It's Donald Trump's party. It's a magot party,
Speaker 1: and you'd be wise to go along with it because
Speaker 1: that's what voters overwhelmingly wanted as far as this election
Speaker 1: was concerned. On November fifth, Donald Trump wins the popular vote,
Speaker 1: wins every swing state, Republican Senate back I'm sorry, the
Speaker 1: Senate back in Republican hands, and obviously the House Republicans held,
Speaker 1: albeit by a very slim majority. Let's go to our
Speaker 1: next caller. It is another state that I have not
Speaker 1: been to, Mississippi. Arman, I gotta get down there too.
Speaker 1: I see an old miss game. I think that's what
Speaker 1: I would do if I went down there.
Speaker 2: Armon, Hey, Joe, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 1: You got it.
Speaker 3: What does the speaker of the House have to do with.
Speaker 2: Making the presidential election complete?
Speaker 1: Well, Mike Johnson has to survive for starters, right, he
Speaker 1: can't be voted out because if that happens, then if
Speaker 1: you don't have a House speaker, then you can't certify,
Speaker 1: you can't put in the next Congress. Basically, so everything
Speaker 1: will be on hold. Therefore Trump's agenda will be on hold.
Speaker 1: So these folks out there that think that Mike Johnson's
Speaker 1: the problem, and I get it. With this whole continuing
Speaker 1: resolution that just went through and he had to compromise
Speaker 1: with Democrats a little bit. Okay, get Trump into office,
Speaker 1: get the new Congress into office, and then you could
Speaker 1: start taking these completely and totally principled stance. But until
Speaker 1: you get Trump in, it's gonna screw everything up. If
Speaker 1: we go into the inauguration and we don't have a
Speaker 1: House Speaker and we end up going through like we
Speaker 1: did with Kevin McCarthy, where the als McCarthy, but there
Speaker 1: was no plan after you got rid of him. And
Speaker 1: then remember all those different House speaker candidates that we
Speaker 1: went through and they failed this vote and this vote,
Speaker 1: and Democrats and the media are laughing about it, and
Speaker 1: they finally settle on Johnson. Look, Johnson, this is the reality.
Speaker 1: Has the slimmest majority you could almost possibly have, and
Speaker 1: it's hard to hurt all those all those cats from
Speaker 1: all these different fractions. So factions, excuse me. So that's
Speaker 1: the thing you replace Johnson. I don't think there's some
Speaker 1: magical speaker out there that suddenly can get the job
Speaker 1: done the way every Republican would like to have it done.
Speaker 1: So yeah, Armon, thanks for to call. I really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: But yeah, for starters, don't get rid of Mike Johnson
Speaker 1: because then you're gonna have chaos going into election day.
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, you know, not a Congress
Speaker 1: that could start working on the agenda for Donald Trump
Speaker 1: that he was mandated to work with on day one.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Georgia. I'd definitely been to because I
Speaker 1: was in Atlanta for the debate on June twenty seventh
Speaker 1: between Biden and excuse me, Donald Trump, which basically ended
Speaker 1: Joe Biden's career. I was so impressed. And with Atlanta,
Speaker 1: I think it's a clean city. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: of traffic, that people are really nice. I love Atlanta.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm in southern Georgia. Okay, Savannah.
Speaker 1: Oh, I love Savannah too. I was there a couple
Speaker 1: of years ago. A lot of dive bars there, but
Speaker 1: that's kind of my thing. So yeah, Big Penasavana got.
Speaker 3: You well, twenty five years in law enforcement. Personally, though,
Speaker 3: I truly believe and think that the reason the Democrats
Speaker 3: didn't want President Trump back in There is one simple reason.
Speaker 3: He tried to run our government during the four years
Speaker 3: he was in there like a business, just like it
Speaker 3: should be run, balance the books, and they didn't like it.
Speaker 3: And when people didn't do their job, he fired them.
Speaker 3: And the Democrats just they liked to rotate their constituents
Speaker 3: over do another job, give them more money because they
Speaker 3: screwed up, and just keep it quiet. And I don't
Speaker 3: think that they was happy that they were happy about that.
Speaker 3: That's my personal opinion. But the other situation is these
Speaker 3: two idiots with the situation New Orleans and the situation.
Speaker 1: In Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my biggest concern was the fact that and the
Speaker 3: biggest problem you've got in our country today. I heard
Speaker 3: an FBI agent speak earlier on on radio on Top Radio,
Speaker 3: and my biggest concern was the fact she was talking
Speaker 3: about that the FBI is more like fifty to fifty
Speaker 3: right now. It's not number one, it's it's you got
Speaker 3: the woke situation going on, and you got people that
Speaker 3: don't want to do their job and they want to
Speaker 3: pass the buck and they want to you know, they've
Speaker 3: been promoted because of who they were. You know, kissing
Speaker 3: and not doing their job.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And the thing that I founder in my years in
Speaker 3: law enforcement, local law enforcement is that everybody wants to
Speaker 3: conver so nobody wants to talk, nobody wants to share information.
Speaker 3: We need to get an information sharing system that's secure
Speaker 3: in this nation so that law enforcement throughout the nation
Speaker 3: can can properly talk and properly transmit and you know,
Speaker 3: share information. Because if they had, if they had information
Speaker 3: on these guys, which I think is going to come out,
Speaker 3: these guys were on somebody's radar. Somebody knew kind of
Speaker 3: what was going on, kind of like with the ninety
Speaker 3: three situation when the when the Isis parked their vans
Speaker 3: underneath the World Trade Center and tried to right up
Speaker 3: the information that was in the net before the nineteen
Speaker 3: Isis took over the planes and and flew them into
Speaker 3: the towers. America needs to wake up because we are
Speaker 3: we're acting like a bunch of sheep. If you look
Speaker 3: at Israel, Israel's fighting for their lives each and every day.
Speaker 3: And from what I understand, if you get on a
Speaker 3: plane overseas going into Israel, l Al, you wind up
Speaker 3: with Israeli special forces on them with a machine gun.
Speaker 3: I got now problem with that.
Speaker 1: I don't do I they keep that country safe at
Speaker 1: October seventh the side, of course, but for the most part, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Dan. I'm sorry. We're up against the break,
Speaker 1: so I did have to let you go. But all
Speaker 1: great points, and you're exactly right about that. We're going
Speaker 1: to get some more calls on the other side of
Speaker 1: the break. Joe concent in for Sean Hannity, back with
Speaker 1: more in just a moment. Welcome back and everybody. Joe
Speaker 1: Concha and for Sean Hannity. I want to get to
Speaker 1: Ali in Louisiana real quick, ally, because you've been on
Speaker 1: hold for some time. They have a running clock here
Speaker 1: that tells me how long you've been on hold, so
Speaker 1: I appreciate that you got thirty seconds.
Speaker 3: Ali.
Speaker 1: Happy New Year. By the way, floorsiers, Hey, Happy New Year.
Speaker 4: You've kind of discussed it, but I'm very concerned about
Speaker 4: the Mike Johnson vote. I think he's great. He represents
Speaker 4: my area. If anyone's listening, if you'll email, call your
Speaker 4: congressperson and tell them this isn't the time. As Joe said,
Speaker 4: this isn't the time we need to certify this election,
Speaker 4: and we need to en shows it. Hackeen, Jeffrey doesn't
Speaker 4: come near being the speaker.
Speaker 1: Ali perfectly said, and you're exactly right about that, because
Speaker 1: again you replace Mike Johnson, and the next speaker that
Speaker 1: comes in, guess what with this majority is going to
Speaker 1: have the same exact problems. Mike Johnson should be speaking
Speaker 1: to John Thune Thuon, should be speaking with Trump and
Speaker 1: jd Vance and figure out a plan in terms of
Speaker 1: what you can get past and heard those cats where
Speaker 1: you could bring forth the agenda that the American people
Speaker 1: voted for. It's that simple, Ali, I really appreciate your call.
Speaker 1: Have a grete twenty twenty five and we're gonna be
Speaker 1: getting too a break real soon everybody. But coming up
Speaker 1: when we come back, another great guest. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: been some great guests here, I mean for a holiday basically,
Speaker 1: because it seems like a lot of people are off,
Speaker 1: you know, hard to get the good guests. But we
Speaker 1: have one coming up. In fact, I'm going to tease
Speaker 1: this and not tell you who it is. Just stick
Speaker 1: around and welcome back everybody. Joe Kanca in for the
Speaker 1: hen Man. I hadn't heard that particular nickname before. Of course,
Speaker 1: I'm a Fox News contributor, and well there was no
Speaker 1: vacation for me during Christmas. Well we'll put it that way.
Speaker 1: And obviously that's a labor of love. So we're happy
Speaker 1: to be here on this important day. Quite frankly, on
Speaker 1: a day where we're met once again. It's New Year's
Speaker 1: Day or early morning hours, and you see these reports
Speaker 1: of a terror attack on US soil New Orleans and
Speaker 1: then later in Las Vegas. The year is already off
Speaker 1: to a chaotic start. And who better to bring in
Speaker 1: to break all this down but Brianna Lyman. She is
Speaker 1: of the Federalists, and Brianna, great to talk to you.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever met before, so good to
Speaker 1: meet you, albeit by distance, and thanks for joining us.
Speaker 5: Thanks so much for having me.
Speaker 1: Of course. So let's start with New Orleans first. As
Speaker 1: far as what we know, these sort of terror attacks
Speaker 1: are very difficult to prevent, right because we saw it
Speaker 1: in Nice. I want to say it was in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1: B Rock been de Nice before and it's a very
Speaker 1: pedestrian friendly type of place. You don't want to be
Speaker 1: in a car. It's just a beautiful city to walk around,
Speaker 1: and there we saw somebody, a member of ISIS, drive
Speaker 1: a truck through a crowd, killing dozens. Now we saw
Speaker 1: it here with New Orleans with fifteen dead, many people injured.
Speaker 1: How do we prevent these sort of things from happening,
Speaker 1: because it seems if somebody wants to take their own
Speaker 1: life and just mow down some people, it's a soft
Speaker 1: target type of situation where it could be carried out,
Speaker 1: and they're very difficult to prevent.
Speaker 5: Well, I would say that this particular instance wasn't that
Speaker 5: difficult to prevent because the suspect, I'm probably mispronounced this,
Speaker 5: but Shamsa din Jabbar, he has been posting on social
Speaker 5: media for quite a while about his affiliations with radical
Speaker 5: Islamis terrorists, and unfortunately, our FBI was too busy going
Speaker 5: after grandmothers and parents of school board meetings and Catholics
Speaker 5: to pick up on legitimate terrorist threats that we're being
Speaker 5: posted for all to see. It just turns out the
Speaker 5: FBI did and see it. So one of the ways
Speaker 5: that you could fix the system we have now and
Speaker 5: prevent it going forward is first and foremost quickly confirming
Speaker 5: cash fatal to take over the FBI, and second reconfiguring
Speaker 5: the priorities of the FBI so that instead of targeting
Speaker 5: the people I just mentioned and the other hordes of
Speaker 5: innocent Americans being unfairly targeted, you actually refocus to target
Speaker 5: legitimate potential terrorist threats because had they done their job,
Speaker 5: they may have caught this potential this suspected terrorists.
Speaker 1: That's a great point, Brionn. And we're talking to Breonn
Speaker 1: alignm enough the federalists that yes, there were many red
Speaker 1: flags here as far as social media posts. But there's
Speaker 1: so many social media posts out there, millions upon millions.
Speaker 1: I wonder that, yes, the FBI should be doing their job,
Speaker 1: but should these social media companies also when they see
Speaker 1: this sort of rhetoric and their algorithms can probably alert
Speaker 1: people to that internally pretty quickly. Is it incumbent upon
Speaker 1: them to if you see something, say.
Speaker 5: Something, Yeah, it's incumbent upon any user. You know, if
Speaker 5: I got RIBD saw some kind of posts like that,
Speaker 5: you know, I would definitely alert someone to it. But
Speaker 5: I think that there is a social acceptability to allow
Speaker 5: this type of speech and discourse to just kind of
Speaker 5: permeate freely on the airwave, and people may not see it.
Speaker 5: They may tend to think twice, ah, well, this is
Speaker 5: just somebody. Nobody would actually post this on their social
Speaker 5: media if they planned on doing it, and less and
Speaker 5: not least. Again, it's incumbent upon our elected officials to
Speaker 5: hold these agencies like the FBI, DHS accountable. If their
Speaker 5: job is to protect the homeland, they have to actually
Speaker 5: do things to protect the homeland. They love scouring people's
Speaker 5: social media to find you right wing people and conservative
Speaker 5: and even moderates, but they for some reason have a problem.
Speaker 5: They stop short when it comes to people posting about
Speaker 5: radical Islamic terrorism.
Speaker 1: And it certainly has been weaponized at this point, there's
Speaker 1: no question about it. And we're talking to Breonna Lyneman
Speaker 1: of the Federalist Let's move to Las Vegas. We saw
Speaker 1: a Tesla blow up in front of a Trump property.
Speaker 1: One person the person's side of it was killed, but
Speaker 1: many people were injured outside of it as several. So
Speaker 1: in this case, I'm seeing posts online, for example, from
Speaker 1: those on the left that are almost celebrating this on
Speaker 1: some level. Aron Philipowski, I don't know if you saw
Speaker 1: that particular social media post. As far as when he
Speaker 1: was basically said, well, this is like a metaphor for
Speaker 1: the year twenty twenty four, and it shows a burning
Speaker 1: tesla in front of a Trump property with the Trump
Speaker 1: sign out front. And I'm just thinking to myself, Wow,
Speaker 1: is this like a Luigi Luigi Mangioni situation all over again,
Speaker 1: where you know, again, people are hurt and people are scared,
Speaker 1: they're seeing cars blow up in the middle of the cities,
Speaker 1: and we're celebrating this. I just don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw that post, but it's just sickening some of the
Speaker 1: reactions you see these days.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I saw that too. It's really indicative of the
Speaker 5: moral rot of the left because it's not just this
Speaker 5: incident we saw yesterda I should say this attacking say yesterday,
Speaker 5: or the Luigi Mangiani you go back to Donald Trump
Speaker 5: nearly being assassinated twice. The left has gotten to a
Speaker 5: point where they have been successful in either delegitimizing, downplay
Speaker 5: or desensitizing Americans to any type of violence, including political
Speaker 5: based violence, which are what those three examples all are.
Speaker 5: And by doing that, it allows people like Ron to
Speaker 5: feel comfortable enough to make that social media post and
Speaker 5: not expect much backlash publicly, and that's a shame that
Speaker 5: one that's where the left has moved, and two that
Speaker 5: as a culture as a whole, people just say, eh,
Speaker 5: he's an idiot. I'm going to keep ignoring this post.
Speaker 1: Just amazing after what we saw with the United Healthcare
Speaker 1: CEO just a couple of blocks from where we are
Speaker 1: at the Sean Hannity Show in New York. As far
Speaker 1: as iHeartMedia, this is two blocks south of where we were.
Speaker 1: And the fact that a man gets shot in the
Speaker 1: back cowardly by this Luigi Mangioni then afterwards obviously kills him.
Speaker 1: The fact that people responded the way they did in
Speaker 1: terms of looking at the shooter and then deciding that boy,
Speaker 1: he's a good looking guy. And here Light Night Comedy
Speaker 1: SNL Jimmy Kimmel like doing jokes on this stuff. I
Speaker 1: just can't believe where we are as a society where
Speaker 1: a father of two and a husband gets gunned down
Speaker 1: in the middle of the street, and again we're having
Speaker 1: a debate over whether the shooter should be on a
Speaker 1: magazine cover. Brianna.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's part of the left's efforts to try
Speaker 5: and justify certain types of political violence. So after the
Speaker 5: second year assassination attempt of Donald Trump, you had people
Speaker 5: like Nora O'Donnell and other you know, left wing agitators saying,
Speaker 5: you know, yes, Donald Trump was almost the victim of
Speaker 5: a second assassination attempt, but his rhetoric. And it's the
Speaker 5: same thing for Luigi Mangiones. Yes he killed a father
Speaker 5: of too in cold blood, but he was upset. You know,
Speaker 5: there's always sub level of justification, and in the Luigi
Speaker 5: Manngione case in particular, you know, this is part of
Speaker 5: the lefts effort to kind of instigate that class war. Right,
Speaker 5: even though Luigi Mangioni comes from a very wealthy family,
Speaker 5: a lot of people who are cheering him on are
Speaker 5: younger folks who see, you know, big corporations and people
Speaker 5: who make a lot of money as the evil that
Speaker 5: they have to go after. And so he became almost
Speaker 5: like a symbol for that movement. And that's the symbol
Speaker 5: of the class war that the left constantly tries to
Speaker 5: shove down our throats, the same way they did it
Speaker 5: with the race war. Now it's a class war.
Speaker 1: And we're talking to Brianna Lyman. She is of the federalist.
Speaker 1: So as far as twenty twenty five is concerned, a
Speaker 1: lot of optimism going into this year, Brianna, the Trump
Speaker 1: administration that's coming in. You mentioned Cash Battel, who was
Speaker 1: obviously Donald Trump's nominee for running the FBI and joining
Speaker 1: his cabinet, Pete Hesgetha over at Department of Defense, and
Speaker 1: we just go go down the line as far as
Speaker 1: a coalition that you would not expect if I told
Speaker 1: you four years ago would be part of Donald Trump's cabinet,
Speaker 1: like Tulsi Gabbard who ran for the Democratic nomination in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty and actually received more delicate than Kamala Harris.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's quite the trivia question. Than Bobby Kennedy
Speaker 1: Junior obviously, over as far as running healthcare in this
Speaker 1: country in essence, you know, helping us get more healthy
Speaker 1: from a nutritional person, especially when it comes to children.
Speaker 1: And I could go down the line as far as
Speaker 1: some of the nominees that Trump has put forward is
Speaker 1: bold because it seems to be an overwhelming kind of premise,
Speaker 1: which is that he wants to remake government in a
Speaker 1: way where we basically purged the deep state once and
Speaker 1: for all, in twenty sixteen. He didn't know the players
Speaker 1: that were involved, or some of the people on his
Speaker 1: own team because he never worked in Washington before. In
Speaker 1: terms of who to trust, this seems to be a
Speaker 1: cabinet that's built on loyalty, trust and rooting out the
Speaker 1: causes of government waste and government corruption.
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's remaking the administration and other bureaucratic agencies in
Speaker 5: the image of the American people. Right. You know, Pete
Speaker 5: Haigseth is someone who served our military. He's not a career,
Speaker 5: you know, military industrial conflict kind of guy. Seeing for
Speaker 5: so many of the others, and I think what people
Speaker 5: forget is when this country has found it. I mean,
Speaker 5: we were pulling lawyers, you know, we were pulling just writers, thinkers.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 5: These people didn't have, you know, rinky experience in government.
Speaker 5: Some of them were literally just your local farmers who
Speaker 5: were engaged at and leveled. So that's how every administration
Speaker 5: should go forward. I'm happy you brought Pete hegg sss up.
Speaker 5: We have heard four weeks now that he is a
Speaker 5: threat to our Department of Defense because he's a Christian.
Speaker 5: How dare he? If it goes to show you that
Speaker 5: Pete haig Seth probably would have a better grip on
Speaker 5: rooting out potential radicalization going on in our military, because
Speaker 5: two of the suspects in the terrorist attacks we saw
Speaker 5: were allegedly going out what was that Fort Hood or
Speaker 5: Fort Bragg, I'm sorry, and they were, you know, both
Speaker 5: serving what's going on in our military, right Lloyd Austin
Speaker 5: was too concerned about white nationalism that they found doesn't
Speaker 5: exist and missed key markers for clear other radicalization happening
Speaker 5: within our ranks. So I'm hoping Pete Hegseth also has
Speaker 5: a quick confirmation to root out what's going on in
Speaker 5: our military.
Speaker 1: And I worked with Pete Hegseth for many years, appeared
Speaker 1: on his show Fox and Friends Weekend on a regular basis.
Speaker 1: These allegations as far as and they're based on anonymous sources, gee,
Speaker 1: aren't they all suddenly coming out of the woodwork. There
Speaker 1: isn't one person that is on the record that has
Speaker 1: not supported as far as the way he has conducted
Speaker 1: himself over the years on that show. And for actual
Speaker 1: people who call themselves reporters to say that while they
Speaker 1: have anonymous sources telling them that Pete would come in
Speaker 1: before shows a four hour morning show, mind you, which
Speaker 1: is really hard to do with alcohol on his breath.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. No one ever called me, no one ever
Speaker 1: called Will Kine, no one ever called Rachel campbells Duffy,
Speaker 1: who are is to co host for for many years,
Speaker 1: and he's had co hosts that have since left the
Speaker 1: network that I'm sure would be happy to talk. And
Speaker 1: yet they can't find one person to go on the
Speaker 1: record to confirm any of this stuff. They're just going
Speaker 1: after him. From a personal perspective, my question, Brianna, will
Speaker 1: he get confirmed despite all this noise? And is that
Speaker 1: all it is? Noise?
Speaker 5: Absolutely? I think in fact, given what's happened over the
Speaker 5: past forty eight hours, he has more of a chance
Speaker 5: of being confirmed because Americans are desperate for relief right now.
Speaker 5: No one feels safe in this country. We have a
Speaker 5: president who was mia yesterday for hours, no one knows
Speaker 5: who's taking charge, and so quickly confirming Donald Trump's to
Speaker 5: have an members and other nominees is going to help
Speaker 5: settle America. It's going to help reinforce and we are
Speaker 5: a safe country. Admitted our government, elected officials will take
Speaker 5: care of us. And I can't see how you would
Speaker 5: fight Pete hegsas when clearly people like Lloyd Austin have
Speaker 5: done such a terrible job. So we have people being
Speaker 5: radicalized in our military and committing terrorist attacks under their leadership.
Speaker 1: Brianna, I believe it was two years ago where we
Speaker 1: didn't know where Lloyd Austin, the current Secretary of Defense was, right,
Speaker 1: he went in for I guess to get some sort
Speaker 1: of scope on a colin, and before you know it,
Speaker 1: they he didn't react to that particular procedure well, and
Speaker 1: then for one week, no one, including the President of
Speaker 1: the United States, knew where Lloyd Austin was, nor did
Speaker 1: austin father to tell anybody before he went under this
Speaker 1: procedure where something could happen like this, that this would
Speaker 1: be happening. So for basically a week, because Austin's backup
Speaker 1: was on vacation in Puerto Rico, we didn't have a
Speaker 1: Secretary of Defense or anybody minding the store. So yeah,
Speaker 1: for people to go off, Pete hegseath as far as well,
Speaker 1: you know, is he qualified, Well, I'm pretty sure after
Speaker 1: watching Lloyd Austin that he's immensely qualified. And by the way,
Speaker 1: twenty years military experience to bronze stars. As far as Pete,
Speaker 1: you think he's going to get confirmed? Tulsi Gabbard, Bobby
Speaker 1: Kennedy Junior, are they at risk? And cash Hotel for
Speaker 1: that matter, Of those three, who is the most at
Speaker 1: risk or do you think all three get in?
Speaker 5: I think all three get in. I do think that
Speaker 5: there will be a very heavily waged media smear campaign
Speaker 5: against them. We're going to see that rampop obviously in
Speaker 5: the next two weeks. But people have to remember that
Speaker 5: the American people tuned out of mainstream media. This actually
Speaker 5: shouldn't say mainstream media. I should say the propaganda press,
Speaker 5: because Fox Newsmaxes aren't mainstream media. Like the way the
Speaker 5: left is. People tuned out, they didn't want to hear
Speaker 5: their opinions in the agendas. And the only keeple waging
Speaker 5: these wars against Tulci and Pete and the whole nine
Speaker 5: are the same people that Americans said, shut up and
Speaker 5: sit down. We don't care what you have to say.
Speaker 5: And so it's up for members of Congress to act appropriately,
Speaker 5: to ignore the noise and to go forward. I think
Speaker 5: John Fetterman is someone who's actually been pretty clear that
Speaker 5: he's going to ignore the noise from the left and
Speaker 5: you know, vote on credentials and what have you, and
Speaker 5: the least listen to the nominees.
Speaker 1: And we're talking to Brianna Lyman of the Federalist Donald
Speaker 1: Trump will be the forty seventh president in a matter
Speaker 1: of let's see, eighteen days. And it couldn't come quickly enough.
Speaker 1: As far as if you were Donald Trump first day,
Speaker 1: what would be your first three top priorities. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so much to get to, I'm sure, but if
Speaker 1: you had to choose three, if you had to sign
Speaker 1: executive voters around them, what would they be?
Speaker 5: Brianna, I would think it's going to be immigration focused entirely,
Speaker 5: obviously working to close the southern border. Second of all,
Speaker 5: I would probably go to places like New York City
Speaker 5: rag Adams and say we need to sit down by
Speaker 5: the end of this week and figure out what's going on,
Speaker 5: especially in these migrant hotels where we see plenty of
Speaker 5: young migrants coming out and you know, stealing from people,
Speaker 5: you know, attacking them, what have you. And the last
Speaker 5: thing I would do is maybe this isn't immigration related,
Speaker 5: but just crime nationwide. There needs to be a new
Speaker 5: tone set. We see people being burned on the subways alive.
Speaker 5: That is unacceptable. If you would have told someone twenty
Speaker 5: years ago as this would happen, they would have looked
Speaker 5: at you like you had two heads on it, right,
Speaker 5: because most Americans understood at a point in time, this
Speaker 5: is abnormal behavior to have normalized. So it's about Donald
Speaker 5: Trump setting the tone and normalizing normal behavior and rejecting
Speaker 5: abnormal behavior.
Speaker 1: Isn't that ironic, Brianna that Donald Trump jd Vance were
Speaker 1: called the weird candidates by people like Goofy Tim Walls,
Speaker 1: and it turns out that normalcy actually one the day
Speaker 1: on November fifth. But unfortunately we have to go right now, Brianna,
Speaker 1: but I again wish you a happy new year, a
Speaker 1: great twenty twenty five, and we'll talk to you again soon.
Speaker 5: Thanks so much, Joe, Happy new Year, Happy.
Speaker 1: New year, Brianna Leman of the Federalists. This is Joe
Speaker 1: Kanca in for Sean Hannity, back with more in just
Speaker 1: a moment. Well that'll do it. That was a fast
Speaker 1: three hours. Thank you so much for tuning into the
Speaker 1: Sean Hannity Show. Thanks so much to our guests as well,
Speaker 1: Brianna Lyman of the Federalist, Jeff Lord of the American Spectator,

Speaker 1: and of course John McLaughlin, who is the best polster
Speaker 1: in the business. Tune in tomorrow Friday, we'll be back
Speaker 1: once again. I am Joe Concha saying see you when
Speaker 1: I see it.
