Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks to all of you for being with us. Right
down our toll free telephone number if you want to
be a part of the program at eight hundred, it's
nine to four one sean if you want to join us.
I mean the left, they're meltdown. Is it's getting worse
by the day. And you've got a story in the
in the Huffington Post. My husband and his family they
voted for Trump. So I'm canceling Thanksgiving and Christmas. What
(00:23):
are you talking about, Sonny Houston supports Kamala Harris voters
bailing on holiday dinners with Trump supporting relatives. It is
a moral issue and it goes on from there. And
the amount of hysteria that is out there, it is,
it is beyond the pal I'm not sure exactly. We're
(00:46):
going to need multiple editions of Doctor Hannity to help
people before the holidays. And you know, how do you
deal with your crazy family members? And we'll get into
all of that now. It just got announced just a
few moments ago. It is official that Donald Trump has
nominated Florida Senator Marco Rubio to be the Secretary of State.
(01:09):
He announced yesterday that my friend and colleague Pete haig
Seth will be nominated for Secretary Defense, And oh my god,
this is horrible. Pete Pete haig Seth lives, eats, breathes,
sleeps military, our military. If you think back to the
(01:31):
Reagan years, Ronald Reagan inherited what he described a gap
of vulnerability, and that was that we were falling behind
our adversaries, our enemies in terms of our military preparedness
and readiness. And he set out to build a six
hundred chip navy, and he did so, and he built
the biggest, toughest military in that eight year period of time.
(01:55):
And you know, Pete Haig set understands what where the
weaknesses are as it relates to, you know, the US military.
And by the way, he's a combat veteran himself. He
went to I believe Princeton and Harvard or Yell and
hard Well. I think it's Princeton and Harvard. He holds
degrees from both of them. He has made it his
(02:18):
life's work to advocate for veterans active duty service members.
He will inherit a pentagon that has gone woke. He
will inherit a pentagon that is that has allowed our
military preparedness and capabilities to decline, and we need somebody
(02:38):
that's going to go in there and kind of shake
things up and make it things, you know, great for
our military because this world is a very very dangerous place.
You know, when China and Russia and maybe North Korea
have hypersonic missile technology and we don't, that's a problem
for our country now. The President also announced the President
(03:00):
elect that Elon Musk and Vivak Ramaswami will lead the
new Department of Government Efficiency. According to Elon Musk, this
will send shockwaves through the system. Anyone involved in government waste,
which is a lot of people. They're going to be shocked,
and they will conclude their work no later than July fourth,
twenty twenty six. And this will be the perfect gift
(03:23):
to America on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence, President Trump said, as I mentioned,
it just got announced officially that Mark or Rubio has
been tapped as the President's Secretary of State. The former
Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe has now been picked
to lead the CIA. Congressman Mike Waltz, a decorated green Bereti,
(03:47):
will join Trump as the National Security advisor. South Dakota
Governor Christy nom has been picked to be the Homeland
Security Secretary. We told you about Tom Homan. Tom Homan
will be the new borders are He will join us
later in the program today. And Donald Trump is forming
his cabinet, as Foxnews dot Com put it, at at
(04:09):
breakneck speed. And earlier today, by the way, he was
at the White House meeting with Joe Biden. According to
everybody that I know, the meeting went particularly well. And
here's a little of the audio from that exchange.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Honus, President elect in the former president, and you've gone
the repulations you're looking forward to having, Alectric said, this
fool transition to everything. We can make sure you're accommodated
what you need. Where you get a chance to talk
about about today, it's good, welcome, thank you very much.
(04:48):
And politics is tough, and it's many cases not a
very nice world. But it is a nice world today
and I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
A transition that's so smooth.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It'll be as smooth as it can get.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
That I very much appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You are. Thank you all. The President meaning President elect
Trump then spoke to the New York Post and said
that they both really enjoyed seeing each other. He said, quote,
it's been a very long, long slog. He said, it's
been a lot of work on both sides. He did
a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else.
(05:25):
According to Biden, we really had a good meeting. It's
going very smoothly, as you just heard. And you know,
I wanted I asked for his views and he gave
them to me. Also, we talked very much about the
Middle East, and I wanted to know his views on
where we are and what he thinks. He gave them
to me, and he was very gracious. The Oval Office
(05:47):
is so beautiful. I do certainly look forward to coming back,
he said that as well. You know, so look, things
are going to get very very heated, very very fast.
We also have other breaking news. As I predicted, John Thune,
I always thought it was going to be hard. I
would have preferred our Senator Rick Scott to be the
(06:09):
Senate majority leader, but I kind of felt it was
baked in the cake. And one thing I think Republicans
need to change are any votes in private that has
to stop. I think we need transparency, and I think
every senator should have been willing to go on the
record and let their constituents know who they voted for
majority leader. It's that simple. Now, I know that Thune
(06:32):
has been closely associated with Mitch McConnell, and I hope
he will. I hope he will lead differently than Mitch McConnell.
The one thing I could say Mitch McConnell was good
on was the issue of judges. On other issues, you know,
he's just been a Trump hater. I've never seen that
in John Thune. But I hope. You know, with the
slim majorities that Republicans have in the House and Senate,
(06:54):
they've got a very limited window if they want to
secure our borders, get out all of the crime no
aliens in this country, the terrorists, the gang members, the cartels,
the drug dealers, and get out the known terrorists that
are in this country. We have. We have a lot
of work to do here. We've got to rebuild our military.
We've got to kept we've've got to increase our military capability.
(07:17):
We've got to increase preparedness. We've got we've got to
get woke out of the military. We need recruitment levels
to start going up again because nobody's wanted to voluntarily
join the military, and they've got a lot of work there.
They've got a lot of work on the economy, and
they're going to have to spend money. On top of that,
we're gonna have to spend money on our defense department.
(07:40):
They're gonna have to spend money to get rid of
those people that are coming into this country illegally that
we're going to have to transport home. Uh. But with
that said, the President is also and pretty much every
statement saying that we are going to be the most
energy dominant country on Earth.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
With all of these announcements, and I'll get to some
of the others in a second. Here at foxnews dot
com reporting that TC police are gearing up for the
same kind of Inauguration Day riot that Democrats organize to
disrupt Donald Trump's inauguration in January of twenty seventeen. Linda,
I don't know if you remember this. I don't know
if you were with us at the time, but we covered.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That, and where else would I be. I'm always here?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, okay, but I remember crossing the street in the
middle we had to break through the parade, and like
everybody's job was to hide my face and get us through.
You know, remember the strange hats people were wearing that day.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Do you remember those hats? Are we can't say that
three o'clock. You're right, we can't say that. Very very
eclectic hats.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, the very very interesting hats. Not unlike you know,
and we'll get to this later in the program. The
women that are shaving their heads, wearing blue bracelets, that
are pledging to leave the country, that are you know,
withholding sex from their significant others, and that are even
willing to divorce their husbands and not have Thanksgiving or
(09:10):
Christmas celebrations with their families if they dared to vote
for Donald Trump. All of that is true, But they're
putting another four thousand police officers expected to be on
hand in Washington, d C. I guess for the inauguration.
Protesters made themselves heard in our nation's capital. By the
time we get to that point, you know, who knows,
(09:31):
they're losing their minds very very quickly. But you know,
I'm looking at the cabinet choices, and I know that
some people are not going to like certain people whatever.
But you know, it's clear that Donald Trump is picking
the people that he believes are going to be really,
really good at their jobs and transform these agencies. Michael Waltz,
(09:54):
Congressman Walt's national security advisor Pete Hegseth. He's not from
the swamp. He's not going to go in there and
reinforce wokeism. You know, it's very very interesting. I was
thinking about this. You know, it should maybe take five
words to convince any American that Pete Hegseth would be
a far better defense secretary than the one we currently have.
(10:18):
And you know, the left wing, they're going bonkers every appointment,
they're going bonkers. You know, if anybody needs any convincing
about the value of disappointment, how about we talk about
Lloyd Austin, Mark Milly and Afghanistan. Let's start there, because
those two establishment geniuses made up Joe Biden's National Defense
(10:40):
brain trust, and that resulted in the most disastrous withdrawal,
including the death of thirteen Americans, all of which was preventable.
So I really don't want to hear lectures from people anyway.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It is.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You know, Elizabeth Warren was out there attacking people Seth,
and I mean, I mean this is all part of
the course. This is what liberals do. And if you
know you have Suzie Wilds is the chief of staff.
Elist Stephonic is the UN ambassador. Can you imagine she
goes to the UN and and treats some of the
(11:16):
people there the way she did those college professor those
college presidents. How great that would be. I mentioned Michael Waltz.
Mike Huckabee, by the way, is going to be Israel's ambassador.
I can't think of a better choice there. Lee Zelden
is going to be the EPA administrator. I assume we're
going to hear about Tulsey Gabbard in the days to
come and RFK Junior in the days to come. I
(11:40):
told you about Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami. Steve Whitkoff,
he happened to be with the president today that the
second would be assassin was at Trump International. He's an
incredibly successful business man. I know him personally. He's a
friend of mine. He'll do a phenomenal job. White House
counselor is William McGinley don't know very well. Served in
(12:03):
Trump's first presidential term as a White House Cabinet secretary.
He's returning now for the second term. Ratcliffe, I think
is a phenomenal choice. He did a great job the
first time. Tom Homan is a phenomenal choice. Mark or
Rubio is a phenomenal choice. And I'm sure the President
is going to pick somebody that will be a strong ag,
(12:25):
as he has expressed, you know, his pleasure for example
at Jeff Sessions. And you know, look at the people
the Democrats pick for ag. They pick Eric Holder when
they go low, we kick him. You don't think he
was a politicized ag for Barack Obama. I just hope
(12:45):
that the Republicans in the Senate when it comes to
confirmation time. And I have no idea what Lisa Murkowski
is going to do on anything. So okay, so we
have fifty three if he count JD we have fifty four.
That means that you have, you know, only so many infections,
you know, for Republicans to get the president's cabinet through. Now,
if the American people elect the president, he ought to
(13:07):
have the cabinet that he wants. He ought to have
the cabinet that he thinks will best serve his agenda.
And that's why these people, that's why he was elected
and nobody else was anyway, So we're looking for I
would look closely. Let's see where Tulsey Gabbard ends up,
Robert Kennedy Junior ends up. I think we know where
he's headed. And it's just a new day. Elections have consequences.
(13:33):
I keep going back to Alinda still wants to spike
the football. She can't help it. Yes, just it's been
NonStop since election day. Although I have kind of emotionally
moved on a little bit from a sense of great
relief and gratitude to all of you, and that remains.
That has not changed at all.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I'm sorry I missed what you said. I was drinking
my champagne. What were you saying about me spiking the football?
I apologize.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Okay, we'll get to that later. But I'm now in
the mode too where it's like I want to get
to work. I want to like get the border secure.
I want to get the economy running. I want to
get America's energy dominance moving. I want the world to
know that America is now going to establish itself as
a leader on the world stage. I want this. I
want law and order restored in small towns and big cities.
(14:21):
I want these criminal aliens and terrorists and gang members
and cartel members and murderers and rapists, and people involved
in being violent acts against Americans. I want them to
have thrown the hell out of our country. People that
didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty, those people that
have harmed members of our country. We have known terrorists
in the country. We'll talk about this with Tom Homan later.
(14:43):
We have a couple of announcements. Number one, I mentioned
Marco Rubio has been nominated to be the US Secretary
of State. That's number one, and there's a longer statement.
Pulsey Gabbert has been named to be the Director of
National Intelligence, which I think is a great choice considering
(15:03):
her military background. Matt Gates, Congressman Florida, has been nominated
to be the US Attorney General of the United States.
President writes he is a deeply gifted, tenacious attorney trained
at William and Mary College of Law. Has distinguished himself
in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform
(15:25):
at the DOJ. Few issues in America are more important
than ending the partisan weaponization of our justice system. Matt
will end weaponize government, protect our borders, dismantled criminal organizations
and restore Americans badly shattered faith and confidence in the
Justice Department. On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight
(15:49):
on the DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating
the Russia Russia Russia hoax, exposing alarming and systemic government
corruption and weaponization. As a champion for the constitution and
for the rule of law, I'm sure that the left
immediately will go out there are this is terrible. No, actually,
what what what we really need? If you look at
(16:13):
the most some of the most important appointments the president
is making here, what has been done to Donald Trump
cannot ever happen again. We can't have a Department of
Justice that has a weaponized system of justice just to
go after political opponents the way they did Donald Trump.
(16:34):
And they can't do to democrats or or allow that
that system to continue, or else we're going to be
a country, you know, like a third world country, putting
former presidents and prime ministers in jail after everybody's term.
It's insane. And what we need is equal justice under
the law. You can't have a Department of Justice, for example,
(16:57):
that is lying to fise courts using Donald Trump's opponents
dirty disinformation Russian dossier that was bought and paid for
as a means of securing those warrants, and then years
later saying, well, noing, no, what you know now would
you have would you have used the dossier as the
basis of the visor warrant? No, I wouldn't use it
(17:19):
based on what I know now. Well, they knew a
long time ago that it wasn't true anyway, So that
is that has got to be cleaned up. We need
people in the FBI that will return what is the
greatest law enforcement agency in the world to its former greatness.
And that means you cannot have a weaponized that FBI.
(17:41):
You know, we can't be going after grandma's and grandpa's
moms and dads and looking into whether they're domestic terrorists,
especially light of all of the real terrorists that we
know are in the country but we don't know where
they are, and the drug dealers and the cartel members
and the gang members and those that have committed murders
against the Mamerricans and rapes against Americans and hundreds of
(18:02):
Americans victims of violent crime. And that would include securing
our border and that's where border security and Tom Homan,
who will join us later in the program comes in.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So it is.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It is a time I know that the left, the Democrats,
will lose their minds. They have been collectively losing their
minds for over a week and most of Donald Trump
are The only announcement I would expect next is Robert F.
Kennedy Junior. We already know what that job is going
to be. He is going to make America healthy again.
And that one of the things that they talk about.
(18:38):
If you've ever been to Italy and I have been,
one of the most remarkable things is how clean their
food is. What does that mean? It is free of chemicals,
it is free of preservatives, and it is fresher. And
American food between using color and all of these things.
(18:59):
I mean, there's a certain truth to what Linda says.
I make fun of her because she has these putrid,
disgusting green projectile vomit shakes that she drinks, or these
disgusting orange shakes that she drinks, et cetera. And however,
American food has a lot of chemicals in it and
a lot of colors in it, and American food is
(19:21):
not as healthy as other parts of the world and
the preservatives that they put in them. And when you
look at what you know, if we're the greatest country
on earth, why can't we have fresh or healthier food.
But the American people, I, for example, prefer eat a
lot of meat. I probably should have organic everything. I
eat organic eggs. I eat some organic food, but not
(19:43):
all organic food. But you know, there is definite health
benefits to doing that. A lot of people, for example,
won't buy organic because it costs a lot more, but
if it becomes mainstream and more profitable, then the price
would definitely come down. One Trump advisor is advising potential
(20:05):
DOJ saboteurs, lever or be fired. I mean, this is
one of the things. If you get one of these positions,
either in Intelligence, the DOJ, the FBI, whatever it happens
to be, it's not just the person that is in charge.
It's going to be that person plus thirty below them
(20:26):
in top positions. If you want to ensure that holdovers
maybe from Clapper and Brennan and Komi and people that
have had agendas. I mean, we can't have fifty one
former Intel officials weeks before an election lying about a
laptop that they know nothing about. These are not things
I've forgotten. You know, We've had three years. We lived
(20:49):
through Donald Trump, lived through three years of Russia lies,
conspiracy theories. If you want to know why legacy media
is dead, in part is because they peddal those lies
in conspiracy theories. Now, the what's interesting is the Trump
Transition Advisory by the name of Mark Paletta born the
(21:09):
DOJ career attorneys in saying career DOJ attorneys must be
fully committed to implementing President Trump's policies or they should
leave or they will be fired. And he gave examples.
Now people say, well, Matt Gats he's pretty political. Uh yeah, okay,
And and you're going to tell me that, Uh let's see,
(21:30):
Eric Holder wasn't. When they go low, we kick them,
they go low, we kick them. Interesting article. I noticed
on Media Eye today that Fox News and people like
me will write about everything a lot more than their competitors.
(21:50):
We were right about the COVID lab league theory and
the Hunter Biden laptop story, and we were right about
the state of the economy, and we were right about
and we diagnosed all the democratic problems that they themselves.
We knew that that Joe Biden was in cognitive decline,
and all these other networks, you know, defended Biden and
(22:14):
didn't tell their audiences the truth. This is partly the
cause of the death of legacy media. We spent a
lot of time covering the disaster that was the Harris
Biden open border crisis, and they kept saying the border's
secure and the borders closed. We went over how bad
the economy was when they lied about that too and
said that inflation was transitory and it never was. You know,
(22:37):
nobody seemed to pay attention to Kamala saying, well, the
higher price of a gallon of gasoline is the cost
of democracy. When people are paying thirteen thousand dollars more
a year for items that they were buying four years ago.
You know, we recognized that global rising prices, you know,
were severe in impacting the American peer and all these
(23:02):
other networks now in a where do they go to
get their good names back, considering nobody trust them anymore. Now,
the soon to be Senate Majority Leader John Thune has
made a statement. He said, the Republican team is united.
We are on one team. We're excited to reclaim the
Majority get to work with our colleagues in the House
(23:23):
and enact President Trump's agenda. Now we have a mandate
for the American people not only to clean up the
mess left by Biden and Harris and Chuck Schumer, but
also to deliver on President Trump's priorities. We will make
sure that the President and his team have the tools
and support they need to enforce border security laws and
(23:44):
to remove violent criminals who have been wreaking havoc in
every one of our states. We will work to make
America prosperous again by streamlining the bureaucratic machine and overturning
costly Biden Harris regulations. We will restore America's energy dominance,
and not just our own energy security, but energy dominance
which will lower the cost and bolster our national security.
(24:09):
And congratulations to Senator Thune. Donald Trump put out on
truth the newly elected Senate Majority leader. He moves quickly
and will do an outstanding job. I look forward to
working with him, Senators John Barrosso, Tom Cotton, and all
the other leadership to make America great again. By the way,
Oprah Winfrey is now denying that she personally benefited from
(24:32):
the one million dollars that Kamala Harris's campaign paid to
her production company. He says, I was not paid a dime.
My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign.
I did not take a personal fee. However, the people
who worked on that production needed to be paid, and
they were end of story, a million dollars. There is
(24:54):
a lot of rumblings that now that the appointment of
Senator Mark Or Rubio to be the next Secretary of State,
that The New York Post is reporting that Laura Trump
is reportedly on Governor Rondo Santis' short list. As a
matter of fact, they're saying the top choice to replace
(25:16):
Senator Rubio in the US Senate. Anyway, Those close to
the Florida governor, according to The New York Post, say
that the definitive top choice to replace Rubio, you know,
happens to be Laura Trump, who I think would be
a great addition to the US Senate. But she needs
(25:36):
to make a decision, and that's hard when you know
everyone's encouraging you to do it, and you know that's
a very personal decision. Biden's get Trump. Prosecutor Jack Smith
has given up, and it looks like Smith and his
team plan to resign before President elect Donald Trump takes office.
I know the Congressman Jordan has asked that the Special
(25:58):
Counsel's Office preserve all of the files, communications, et cetera,
et cetera involved in the investigation into Donald Trump to
make sure that there weren't any coordination that is untoured.
Speaking of Oprah, al Sharpton, through a charity he founded,
(26:19):
received a half a million dollar gift from the vice
president's campaign in two lump sums, one for two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars September of the fifth, another on
October the first. The large donation not disclosed during Sharpton's
interview with Harris, who works for MSDNC. Now, we do
have a lot of a lot of insanity going on
(26:41):
with the left. We'll get into this later. Headline Huffington Post,
my husband and his family voted for Trump. I'm canceling
Thanksgiving and I'm canceling Christmas. You know. Add to that,
liberal women are planning to wear brute blue bracelets to
signal to each other that they are liberal. Other women
are slamming the idea but and calling it virtue signaling.
(27:03):
It's called the four B movement, and some liberal women
now are sharing shaving their heads, and they're stockpiling abortion pills,
and they are swearing off physical and romantic relationships with men,
even their husbands, and vowing to never have children, and
some are planning to divorce their husbands. And now the
(27:25):
media is getting in on the action, the Washington Post
offering a guide on how Americans can lead to other countries.
I mean, is it is going to be a very
interesting transition. I will tell you that, no doubt about it. Anyway,
eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn is on number.
We'll get to all of this. We'll get Bill O'Reilly's
view on this also, we'll have an update. I mean,
(27:48):
this is so repulsive. I mean that you have this
this FEMA individual, I guess leader, you know, telling employees
that the homes that they skipped that had Donald Trump
signs on them ravaged by Hurricanes Helene and Hurricane Milton.
That it was presented as an isolated case. But anyway,
(28:11):
apparently this person, a former employee, tells the Post that
it happened for years, with FEMA allegedly telling workers to
prioritize the marginalized over Trump voters. I mean, are you
kidding me? It can't get any worse than that notes
Trump sign no contact per leadership. It actually says that
(28:33):
in a memo that they put out. Can't make this
up anyway. Eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn is
a number you want to be a part of the program.
Tom Holman, the new Borders are and Bill O'Reilly coming up.

(00:23):
are you talking about, Sonny Houston supports Kamala Harris voters
bailing on holiday dinners with Trump supporting relatives. It is
a moral issue and it goes on from there. And
the amount of hysteria that is out there, it is,
it is beyond the pal I'm not sure exactly. We're
(00:46):
going to need multiple editions of Doctor Hannity to help
people before the holidays. And you know, how do you
deal with your crazy family members? And we'll get into
all of that now. It just got announced just a
few moments ago. It is official that Donald Trump has
nominated Florida Senator Marco Rubio to be the Secretary of State.
(01:09):
He announced yesterday that my friend and colleague Pete haig
Seth will be nominated for Secretary Defense, And oh my god,
this is horrible. Pete Pete haig Seth lives, eats, breathes,
sleeps military, our military. If you think back to the
(01:31):
Reagan years, Ronald Reagan inherited what he described a gap
of vulnerability, and that was that we were falling behind
our adversaries, our enemies in terms of our military preparedness
and readiness. And he set out to build a six
hundred chip navy, and he did so, and he built
the biggest, toughest military in that eight year period of time.
(01:55):
And you know, Pete Haig set understands what where the
weaknesses are as it relates to, you know, the US military.
And by the way, he's a combat veteran himself. He
went to I believe Princeton and Harvard or Yell and
hard Well. I think it's Princeton and Harvard. He holds
degrees from both of them. He has made it his
(02:18):
life's work to advocate for veterans active duty service members.
He will inherit a pentagon that has gone woke. He
will inherit a pentagon that is that has allowed our
military preparedness and capabilities to decline, and we need somebody
(02:38):
that's going to go in there and kind of shake
things up and make it things, you know, great for
our military because this world is a very very dangerous place.
You know, when China and Russia and maybe North Korea
have hypersonic missile technology and we don't, that's a problem
for our country now. The President also announced the President
(03:00):
elect that Elon Musk and Vivak Ramaswami will lead the
new Department of Government Efficiency. According to Elon Musk, this
will send shockwaves through the system. Anyone involved in government waste,
which is a lot of people. They're going to be shocked,
and they will conclude their work no later than July fourth,
twenty twenty six. And this will be the perfect gift
(03:23):
to America on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence, President Trump said, as I mentioned,
it just got announced officially that Mark or Rubio has
been tapped as the President's Secretary of State. The former
Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe has now been picked
to lead the CIA. Congressman Mike Waltz, a decorated green Bereti,
(03:47):
will join Trump as the National Security advisor. South Dakota
Governor Christy nom has been picked to be the Homeland
Security Secretary. We told you about Tom Homan. Tom Homan
will be the new borders are He will join us
later in the program today. And Donald Trump is forming
his cabinet, as Foxnews dot Com put it, at at
(04:09):
breakneck speed. And earlier today, by the way, he was
at the White House meeting with Joe Biden. According to
everybody that I know, the meeting went particularly well. And
here's a little of the audio from that exchange.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Honus, President elect in the former president, and you've gone
the repulations you're looking forward to having, Alectric said, this
fool transition to everything. We can make sure you're accommodated
what you need. Where you get a chance to talk
about about today, it's good, welcome, thank you very much.
(04:48):
And politics is tough, and it's many cases not a
very nice world. But it is a nice world today
and I appreciate it very much.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
A transition that's so smooth.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
It'll be as smooth as it can get.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
That I very much appreciate that.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
You are. Thank you all. The President meaning President elect
Trump then spoke to the New York Post and said
that they both really enjoyed seeing each other. He said, quote,
it's been a very long, long slog. He said, it's
been a lot of work on both sides. He did
a very good job with respect to campaigning and everything else.
(05:25):
According to Biden, we really had a good meeting. It's
going very smoothly, as you just heard. And you know,
I wanted I asked for his views and he gave
them to me. Also, we talked very much about the
Middle East, and I wanted to know his views on
where we are and what he thinks. He gave them
to me, and he was very gracious. The Oval Office
(05:47):
is so beautiful. I do certainly look forward to coming back,
he said that as well. You know, so look, things
are going to get very very heated, very very fast.
We also have other breaking news. As I predicted, John Thune,
I always thought it was going to be hard. I
would have preferred our Senator Rick Scott to be the
(06:09):
Senate majority leader, but I kind of felt it was
baked in the cake. And one thing I think Republicans
need to change are any votes in private that has
to stop. I think we need transparency, and I think
every senator should have been willing to go on the
record and let their constituents know who they voted for
majority leader. It's that simple. Now, I know that Thune
(06:32):
has been closely associated with Mitch McConnell, and I hope
he will. I hope he will lead differently than Mitch McConnell.
The one thing I could say Mitch McConnell was good
on was the issue of judges. On other issues, you know,
he's just been a Trump hater. I've never seen that
in John Thune. But I hope. You know, with the
slim majorities that Republicans have in the House and Senate,
(06:54):
they've got a very limited window if they want to
secure our borders, get out all of the crime no
aliens in this country, the terrorists, the gang members, the cartels,
the drug dealers, and get out the known terrorists that
are in this country. We have. We have a lot
of work to do here. We've got to rebuild our military.
We've got to kept we've've got to increase our military capability.
(07:17):
We've got to increase preparedness. We've got we've got to
get woke out of the military. We need recruitment levels
to start going up again because nobody's wanted to voluntarily
join the military, and they've got a lot of work there.
They've got a lot of work on the economy, and
they're going to have to spend money. On top of that,
we're gonna have to spend money on our defense department.
(07:40):
They're gonna have to spend money to get rid of
those people that are coming into this country illegally that
we're going to have to transport home. Uh. But with
that said, the President is also and pretty much every
statement saying that we are going to be the most
energy dominant country on Earth.
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
With all of these announcements, and I'll get to some
of the others in a second. Here at foxnews dot
com reporting that TC police are gearing up for the
same kind of Inauguration Day riot that Democrats organize to
disrupt Donald Trump's inauguration in January of twenty seventeen. Linda,
I don't know if you remember this. I don't know
if you were with us at the time, but we covered.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
That, and where else would I be. I'm always here?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Well, okay, but I remember crossing the street in the
middle we had to break through the parade, and like
everybody's job was to hide my face and get us through.
You know, remember the strange hats people were wearing that day.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Do you remember those hats? Are we can't say that
three o'clock. You're right, we can't say that. Very very
eclectic hats.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, the very very interesting hats. Not unlike you know,
and we'll get to this later in the program. The
women that are shaving their heads, wearing blue bracelets, that
are pledging to leave the country, that are you know,
withholding sex from their significant others, and that are even
willing to divorce their husbands and not have Thanksgiving or
(09:10):
Christmas celebrations with their families if they dared to vote
for Donald Trump. All of that is true, But they're
putting another four thousand police officers expected to be on
hand in Washington, d C. I guess for the inauguration.
Protesters made themselves heard in our nation's capital. By the
time we get to that point, you know, who knows,
(09:31):
they're losing their minds very very quickly. But you know,
I'm looking at the cabinet choices, and I know that
some people are not going to like certain people whatever.
But you know, it's clear that Donald Trump is picking
the people that he believes are going to be really,
really good at their jobs and transform these agencies. Michael Waltz,
(09:54):
Congressman Walt's national security advisor Pete Hegseth. He's not from
the swamp. He's not going to go in there and
reinforce wokeism. You know, it's very very interesting. I was
thinking about this. You know, it should maybe take five
words to convince any American that Pete Hegseth would be
a far better defense secretary than the one we currently have.
(10:18):
And you know, the left wing, they're going bonkers every appointment,
they're going bonkers. You know, if anybody needs any convincing
about the value of disappointment, how about we talk about
Lloyd Austin, Mark Milly and Afghanistan. Let's start there, because
those two establishment geniuses made up Joe Biden's National Defense
(10:40):
brain trust, and that resulted in the most disastrous withdrawal,
including the death of thirteen Americans, all of which was preventable.
So I really don't want to hear lectures from people anyway.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
It is.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
You know, Elizabeth Warren was out there attacking people Seth,
and I mean, I mean this is all part of
the course. This is what liberals do. And if you
know you have Suzie Wilds is the chief of staff.
Elist Stephonic is the UN ambassador. Can you imagine she
goes to the UN and and treats some of the
(11:16):
people there the way she did those college professor those
college presidents. How great that would be. I mentioned Michael Waltz.
Mike Huckabee, by the way, is going to be Israel's ambassador.
I can't think of a better choice there. Lee Zelden
is going to be the EPA administrator. I assume we're
going to hear about Tulsey Gabbard in the days to
come and RFK Junior in the days to come. I
(11:40):
told you about Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswami. Steve Whitkoff,
he happened to be with the president today that the
second would be assassin was at Trump International. He's an
incredibly successful business man. I know him personally. He's a
friend of mine. He'll do a phenomenal job. White House
counselor is William McGinley don't know very well. Served in
(12:03):
Trump's first presidential term as a White House Cabinet secretary.
He's returning now for the second term. Ratcliffe, I think
is a phenomenal choice. He did a great job the
first time. Tom Homan is a phenomenal choice. Mark or
Rubio is a phenomenal choice. And I'm sure the President
is going to pick somebody that will be a strong ag,
(12:25):
as he has expressed, you know, his pleasure for example
at Jeff Sessions. And you know, look at the people
the Democrats pick for ag. They pick Eric Holder when
they go low, we kick him. You don't think he
was a politicized ag for Barack Obama. I just hope
(12:45):
that the Republicans in the Senate when it comes to
confirmation time. And I have no idea what Lisa Murkowski
is going to do on anything. So okay, so we
have fifty three if he count JD we have fifty four.
That means that you have, you know, only so many infections,
you know, for Republicans to get the president's cabinet through. Now,
if the American people elect the president, he ought to
(13:07):
have the cabinet that he wants. He ought to have
the cabinet that he thinks will best serve his agenda.
And that's why these people, that's why he was elected
and nobody else was anyway, So we're looking for I
would look closely. Let's see where Tulsey Gabbard ends up,
Robert Kennedy Junior ends up. I think we know where
he's headed. And it's just a new day. Elections have consequences.
(13:33):
I keep going back to Alinda still wants to spike
the football. She can't help it. Yes, just it's been
NonStop since election day. Although I have kind of emotionally
moved on a little bit from a sense of great
relief and gratitude to all of you, and that remains.
That has not changed at all.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
I'm sorry I missed what you said. I was drinking
my champagne. What were you saying about me spiking the football?
I apologize.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Okay, we'll get to that later. But I'm now in
the mode too where it's like I want to get
to work. I want to like get the border secure.
I want to get the economy running. I want to
get America's energy dominance moving. I want the world to
know that America is now going to establish itself as
a leader on the world stage. I want this. I
want law and order restored in small towns and big cities.
(14:21):
I want these criminal aliens and terrorists and gang members
and cartel members and murderers and rapists, and people involved
in being violent acts against Americans. I want them to
have thrown the hell out of our country. People that
didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty, those people that
have harmed members of our country. We have known terrorists
in the country. We'll talk about this with Tom Homan later.
(14:43):
We have a couple of announcements. Number one, I mentioned
Marco Rubio has been nominated to be the US Secretary
of State. That's number one, and there's a longer statement.
Pulsey Gabbert has been named to be the Director of
National Intelligence, which I think is a great choice considering
(15:03):
her military background. Matt Gates, Congressman Florida, has been nominated
to be the US Attorney General of the United States.
President writes he is a deeply gifted, tenacious attorney trained
at William and Mary College of Law. Has distinguished himself
in Congress through his focus on achieving desperately needed reform
(15:25):
at the DOJ. Few issues in America are more important
than ending the partisan weaponization of our justice system. Matt
will end weaponize government, protect our borders, dismantled criminal organizations
and restore Americans badly shattered faith and confidence in the
Justice Department. On the House Judiciary Committee, which performs oversight
(15:49):
on the DOJ, Matt played a key role in defeating
the Russia Russia Russia hoax, exposing alarming and systemic government
corruption and weaponization. As a champion for the constitution and
for the rule of law, I'm sure that the left
immediately will go out there are this is terrible. No, actually,
what what what we really need? If you look at
(16:13):
the most some of the most important appointments the president
is making here, what has been done to Donald Trump
cannot ever happen again. We can't have a Department of
Justice that has a weaponized system of justice just to
go after political opponents the way they did Donald Trump.
(16:34):
And they can't do to democrats or or allow that
that system to continue, or else we're going to be
a country, you know, like a third world country, putting
former presidents and prime ministers in jail after everybody's term.
It's insane. And what we need is equal justice under
the law. You can't have a Department of Justice, for example,
(16:57):
that is lying to fise courts using Donald Trump's opponents
dirty disinformation Russian dossier that was bought and paid for
as a means of securing those warrants, and then years
later saying, well, noing, no, what you know now would
you have would you have used the dossier as the
basis of the visor warrant? No, I wouldn't use it
(17:19):
based on what I know now. Well, they knew a
long time ago that it wasn't true anyway, So that
is that has got to be cleaned up. We need
people in the FBI that will return what is the
greatest law enforcement agency in the world to its former greatness.
And that means you cannot have a weaponized that FBI.
(17:41):
You know, we can't be going after grandma's and grandpa's
moms and dads and looking into whether they're domestic terrorists,
especially light of all of the real terrorists that we
know are in the country but we don't know where
they are, and the drug dealers and the cartel members
and the gang members and those that have committed murders
against the Mamerricans and rapes against Americans and hundreds of
(18:02):
Americans victims of violent crime. And that would include securing
our border and that's where border security and Tom Homan,
who will join us later in the program comes in.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
So it is.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
It is a time I know that the left, the Democrats,
will lose their minds. They have been collectively losing their
minds for over a week and most of Donald Trump
are The only announcement I would expect next is Robert F.
Kennedy Junior. We already know what that job is going
to be. He is going to make America healthy again.
And that one of the things that they talk about.
(18:38):
If you've ever been to Italy and I have been,
one of the most remarkable things is how clean their
food is. What does that mean? It is free of chemicals,
it is free of preservatives, and it is fresher. And
American food between using color and all of these things.
(18:59):
I mean, there's a certain truth to what Linda says.
I make fun of her because she has these putrid,
disgusting green projectile vomit shakes that she drinks, or these
disgusting orange shakes that she drinks, et cetera. And however,
American food has a lot of chemicals in it and
a lot of colors in it, and American food is
(19:21):
not as healthy as other parts of the world and
the preservatives that they put in them. And when you
look at what you know, if we're the greatest country
on earth, why can't we have fresh or healthier food.
But the American people, I, for example, prefer eat a
lot of meat. I probably should have organic everything. I
eat organic eggs. I eat some organic food, but not
(19:43):
all organic food. But you know, there is definite health
benefits to doing that. A lot of people, for example,
won't buy organic because it costs a lot more, but
if it becomes mainstream and more profitable, then the price
would definitely come down. One Trump advisor is advising potential
(20:05):
DOJ saboteurs, lever or be fired. I mean, this is
one of the things. If you get one of these positions,
either in Intelligence, the DOJ, the FBI, whatever it happens
to be, it's not just the person that is in charge.
It's going to be that person plus thirty below them
(20:26):
in top positions. If you want to ensure that holdovers
maybe from Clapper and Brennan and Komi and people that
have had agendas. I mean, we can't have fifty one
former Intel officials weeks before an election lying about a
laptop that they know nothing about. These are not things
I've forgotten. You know, We've had three years. We lived
(20:49):
through Donald Trump, lived through three years of Russia lies,
conspiracy theories. If you want to know why legacy media
is dead, in part is because they peddal those lies
in conspiracy theories. Now, the what's interesting is the Trump
Transition Advisory by the name of Mark Paletta born the
(21:09):
DOJ career attorneys in saying career DOJ attorneys must be
fully committed to implementing President Trump's policies or they should
leave or they will be fired. And he gave examples.
Now people say, well, Matt Gats he's pretty political. Uh yeah, okay,
And and you're going to tell me that, Uh let's see,
(21:30):
Eric Holder wasn't. When they go low, we kick them,
they go low, we kick them. Interesting article. I noticed
on Media Eye today that Fox News and people like
me will write about everything a lot more than their competitors.
(21:50):
We were right about the COVID lab league theory and
the Hunter Biden laptop story, and we were right about
the state of the economy, and we were right about
and we diagnosed all the democratic problems that they themselves.
We knew that that Joe Biden was in cognitive decline,
and all these other networks, you know, defended Biden and
(22:14):
didn't tell their audiences the truth. This is partly the
cause of the death of legacy media. We spent a
lot of time covering the disaster that was the Harris
Biden open border crisis, and they kept saying the border's
secure and the borders closed. We went over how bad
the economy was when they lied about that too and
said that inflation was transitory and it never was. You know,
(22:37):
nobody seemed to pay attention to Kamala saying, well, the
higher price of a gallon of gasoline is the cost
of democracy. When people are paying thirteen thousand dollars more
a year for items that they were buying four years ago.
You know, we recognized that global rising prices, you know,
were severe in impacting the American peer and all these
(23:02):
other networks now in a where do they go to
get their good names back, considering nobody trust them anymore. Now,
the soon to be Senate Majority Leader John Thune has
made a statement. He said, the Republican team is united.
We are on one team. We're excited to reclaim the
Majority get to work with our colleagues in the House
(23:23):
and enact President Trump's agenda. Now we have a mandate
for the American people not only to clean up the
mess left by Biden and Harris and Chuck Schumer, but
also to deliver on President Trump's priorities. We will make
sure that the President and his team have the tools
and support they need to enforce border security laws and
(23:44):
to remove violent criminals who have been wreaking havoc in
every one of our states. We will work to make
America prosperous again by streamlining the bureaucratic machine and overturning
costly Biden Harris regulations. We will restore America's energy dominance,
and not just our own energy security, but energy dominance
which will lower the cost and bolster our national security.
(24:09):
And congratulations to Senator Thune. Donald Trump put out on
truth the newly elected Senate Majority leader. He moves quickly
and will do an outstanding job. I look forward to
working with him, Senators John Barrosso, Tom Cotton, and all
the other leadership to make America great again. By the way,
Oprah Winfrey is now denying that she personally benefited from
(24:32):
the one million dollars that Kamala Harris's campaign paid to
her production company. He says, I was not paid a dime.
My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign.
I did not take a personal fee. However, the people
who worked on that production needed to be paid, and
they were end of story, a million dollars. There is
(24:54):
a lot of rumblings that now that the appointment of
Senator Mark Or Rubio to be the next Secretary of State,
that The New York Post is reporting that Laura Trump
is reportedly on Governor Rondo Santis' short list. As a
matter of fact, they're saying the top choice to replace
(25:16):
Senator Rubio in the US Senate. Anyway, Those close to
the Florida governor, according to The New York Post, say
that the definitive top choice to replace Rubio, you know,
happens to be Laura Trump, who I think would be
a great addition to the US Senate. But she needs
(25:36):
to make a decision, and that's hard when you know
everyone's encouraging you to do it, and you know that's
a very personal decision. Biden's get Trump. Prosecutor Jack Smith
has given up, and it looks like Smith and his
team plan to resign before President elect Donald Trump takes office.
I know the Congressman Jordan has asked that the Special
(25:58):
Counsel's Office preserve all of the files, communications, et cetera,
et cetera involved in the investigation into Donald Trump to
make sure that there weren't any coordination that is untoured.
Speaking of Oprah, al Sharpton, through a charity he founded,
(26:19):
received a half a million dollar gift from the vice
president's campaign in two lump sums, one for two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars September of the fifth, another on
October the first. The large donation not disclosed during Sharpton's
interview with Harris, who works for MSDNC. Now, we do
have a lot of a lot of insanity going on
(26:41):
with the left. We'll get into this later. Headline Huffington Post,
my husband and his family voted for Trump. I'm canceling
Thanksgiving and I'm canceling Christmas. You know. Add to that,
liberal women are planning to wear brute blue bracelets to
signal to each other that they are liberal. Other women
are slamming the idea but and calling it virtue signaling.
(27:03):
It's called the four B movement, and some liberal women
now are sharing shaving their heads, and they're stockpiling abortion pills,
and they are swearing off physical and romantic relationships with men,
even their husbands, and vowing to never have children, and
some are planning to divorce their husbands. And now the
(27:25):
media is getting in on the action, the Washington Post
offering a guide on how Americans can lead to other countries.
I mean, is it is going to be a very
interesting transition. I will tell you that, no doubt about it. Anyway,
eight hundred and ninety four one. Shawn is on number.
We'll get to all of this. We'll get Bill O'Reilly's
view on this also, we'll have an update. I mean,
(27:48):
this is so repulsive. I mean that you have this
this FEMA individual, I guess leader, you know, telling employees
that the homes that they skipped that had Donald Trump
signs on them ravaged by Hurricanes Helene and Hurricane Milton.
That it was presented as an isolated case. But anyway,
(28:11):
apparently this person, a former employee, tells the Post that
it happened for years, with FEMA allegedly telling workers to
prioritize the marginalized over Trump voters. I mean, are you
kidding me? It can't get any worse than that notes
Trump sign no contact per leadership. It actually says that
(28:33):
in a memo that they put out. Can't make this
up anyway. Eight hundred and ninety four one Shawn is
a number you want to be a part of the program.
Tom Holman, the new Borders are and Bill O'Reilly coming up.
