If you want to be a part of the program.
Uh, anyway, joining us now, he was confident the entire campaign and right on target in terms of where this election was headed.
Uh, we give complete props to our friend, former Speaker of the house, new King rich, You know what I love about you every election season?
I'm getting worked up and more worked up and concerned, and and you're just you're just calm as a cucumber.
And Donald Trump's gonna win.
I've been through a lot of elections.
So have I. It's not like I'm that far behind you for crying out loud.
Well, you're like 20 years, 30 years behind me, Hannity.
Okay.
But the point is, I get worked up every time, and every time you don't get worked up, and you're very measured, and you are almost always right in terms of how the election's gonna end up.
Well, I mean, I to whatever degree I that's true.
It's just because I'm a historian by training, and I I try to put all these things in kind of some kind of historic context.
Uh, and look at them in a larger long-term way than just that week's, you know, polls or that week's news coverage.
And when you do that, uh, there are shapes and patterns in the country that are very deep and very real.
And uh, you know, I've watched the country change gradually over time.
This is I I must say I think that the Trump tapped into an underlying deep desire to change who's in charge and to change the policies.
And he has come to personify a movement uh that uh is really a worldwide rejection of uh bureaucratic centralism and and uh welfare policies where you pay people to not work and you gradually crush the working Americans uh with taxes and inflation.
I think he somehow understood all that and responded to it, and uh you know, I think that uh the country has responded to him, and frankly, when when you look at who he has become, um it it's I think it's astonishing.
I mean, here's a guy who is um uh has two assassination attempts, two impeachment attempts, um a whole series of lawfare actions in courts, uh, and he just keeps coming.
I mean, it's one of the most remarkable things I've either seen or read about.
One of the most historic, in my view, comebacks in political history for sure, certainly in the history of the country.
Uh I think maybe I'm being a little Pollyanish.
I I see w his presidency upcoming as an opportunity to be an opportunity that maybe you see once every hundred years, you correct me as the historian.
If he makes America the most energy rich country on the planet, if he is able to transform the economy back to where he had it in The first three years of his first term and restore America's dominance militarily and its place in terms of world order on the world stage, and I'm not talking about anything involving globalism, just the opposite.
I like America to detached from any and all globalist efforts.
Well, that's I think that's absolutely right, and he has a very real chance to do that.
And uh it would be the biggest breaks almost a hundred years since 1932.
Uh and and uh frankly, b because he picked J. D. Vance, where Reagan made the mistake of picking George H. W. Bush, who never frankly understood Reaganism and and promptly began moving us back towards a more traditional republicanism.
Um I think with he and Vance between them have an ability, and then frankly, bringing in uh Vivek Ramaswamy uh and Elon Musk, the level of energy and entrepreneurial drive that they're gonna have is just I think remarkable and a real chance to change the country.
You know, I believe I mean imagine that's what you you're the historian.
Let's talk about constitutional order.
I mean, our government has gotten so big, so bloated, so bureaucratic, so you know uh i it's omnipotently powerful uh and intrusive into the the lives of everyday Americans.
The idea that we can restore constitutional order, to me, that means limited government, greater freedom, that means getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse, that means returning institutions and departments to their former mission,
return the FBI to its former greatness uh that I think has been corrupted by weaponization and and politicizing of the FBI, same with our intelligence uh intelligence community, have equal justice, equal application of our laws.
I mean, to me, is that not the original purpose uh and vision of our founders, our framers?
They wanted a self-governing society, not a society governed from above by some elite.
And they were very clear about this.
That also means, by the way, you return power to cities and counties and states, and you you move things out of Washington and away from the bureaucrats.
Uh, and these are these are big changes.
It's it's gonna be fascinating uh that to watch the way these things evolve.
And I think that we have a very real chance with the with the level of entrepreneurial drive and energy that Trump is attracting, and frankly, uh the the captain and I wrote a piece in this other day that this is the most entrepreneurial system uh that we have seen certainly since the nineteen thirties or earlier, uh, because the people he's appointed these cabinet jobs, uh they're these are guys, guys and gals who are used to getting things done.
Uh they're not just gonna sit around and play bureaucratic games.
They're gonna they're gonna force very profound changes.
And I I think it's very exciting.
The deep state is we call it, or the bureaucracy within the bureaucracy and the people below the top secretaries and deputy secretaries, those are the people that I worry about the most, because they're gonna fight back against any institutional changes that are needed.
Uh how big a problem do you foresee?
Well, they're enormous, but I have to say I wrote an article about Trump as the first de facto president in history that uh people understand psychologically, he's now the real president and Biden is just a fading memory.
Uh and he won't be legally president until January 20th, but he's psychologically.
Well, you saw that happen this week.
The head of the FBI steps down.
Uh, I mean, that's it, you know, Trump isn't even in office, and he's starting to clean out these places.
And but look at m look at Mexico and Canada, and all of a sudden Hamas and Hezbollah, they they want they want peace deals, and oh, all of a sudden Zelensky is willing to give up land for Peace and have a negotiated settlement with Putin.
Uh meanwhile, Joe looks like he wants to sabotage Trump every step of the way.
And and by the way, notice that the uh the Syrian dictatorship collapsed, which I think would not have happened uh without uh Trump's the psychology worldwide.
This is one of the great amazing things in my lifetime, that we now have such worldwide real-time communication, that the psychology of Trump's victory is now everywhere on the planet, and it has an effect everywhere, and it's sort of like America's back.
And you saw this when he went to Paris, and that's when I first realized that he had become the de facto president, because he he's in Paris.
Macron is giving him the full ceremonial honors of the head of state.
Uh not the soon to be head of state, the the the head of state, and he's meeting with, as you pointed Zelensky, meeting with the Prime Minister of Italy.
There were eighty-two leaders of countries there, uh, and yet there was no question who the dominant figure was.
It wasn't the host Macrone, it was Donald Trump.
That seat of honor was hilarious.
I I'll tell you one other thing that that kind of made makes me laugh, is if not only was he seated between pre President McCrone and his wife, uh, but next to on the other side was Joe Biden and Joe Biden, Dr. Joe Biden.
Couldn't have been happier to see Donald Trump.
And then they show up uh as some Kennedy honors award, whatever celebration.
I I I'm not entrenched in that bureaucracy and that sewer the swamp called DC, so I have no idea what it is.
But the I think the Kennedy honors uh whatever was going on awards or something.
And Joe Joe and Joe Biden walk in, they see Kamala and Dougie, and they didn't even say hello, which tells me that the odds are probably pretty high.
I'm just guessing, that Joe and Jill Biden uh don't like Kamala Harris, they don't like Nancy Pelosi, they don't like Barack and Michelle Obama, they don't like George Clooney, and they know that they're the people responsible for pushing him out of the way, and they're probably happy that in the end it failed.
Well, Callista commented on election day that when you saw Joe Biden go vote in a bright red outfit, that she might be a good thing.
That was pretty that was pretty telly.
I was that that was MAGA red.
Listen, I was convinced three weeks out that she and Joe had a conversation and said, you know, it'd be kind of okay if you're the only guy ever to beat Trump.
And I think the I think you're probably right.
Well, he did a whole series of things to undermine Harris's campaign in the last three weeks that couldn't have been accidents.
I mean, these were things, you know, for the first time in four years, he goes into the press briefing to explain how he and Harris did everything together at a point in her campaign when she's trying to prove she's separate.
And then uh what I thought once once I thought about it, I thought it was a stunning act of of arrogance and nastiness on her part.
You invite thousands of people to come to the Elips, which is directly in front of the White House.
You have a huge campaign event, and you don't invite the president and first lady who are sitting in the White House about 200 yards away.
Now, if I were Joe, that would have made me kind of irritated.
And that happens to be the moment that he happened to use the word garbage to describe Trump's supporters, which of course he didn't mean, but he absolutely knew that if he did it, it would drown out her speech.
So they come out of that night not with a big, you know, look how great a job Kamala Harris did, but with a big brawl about uh Biden having called Trump supporters garbage, uh and I I am convinced that that was deliberate.
He got to admit, for a guy that's in steep cognitive decline, this is pretty sophisticated strategy.
I think he has brief moments of clarity where he with a guy who went to the Senate at, you know, he's first elected at twenty-nine and actually turned thirty before between election and being sworn in.
Uh I and I just, you know, I just think your point's right.
When you've been the Senator, the vice president, the president, and you watch people you thought were your friends stab you in the back.
Uh there's a pretty deep bitterness.
Uh and you kind of play it out, but I I am convinced that they are delighted that they have Trump and not Harris getting sworn in on January 20th.
All right, quick break.
More with former Speaker of the House, New Gingrich, then your call's coming up 800-941 Sean, if you want to join us as we continue.
All right, we continue.
Former Speaker of the House, New Gingrich is with us.
I did not think it was an accident.
I played it on TV last night when Jill Biden uh used the joy line, which we were told was the emphasis or the predicate of the Harris campaign.
Uh I don't think this was an accident either.
Let me play it for you.
So I hope that you all feel that sense of you know, peace and light, and that uh just for a moment when you leave here today that you feel I don't know, a little a sense of joy.
Cause I think we all need like this, you know, we all need to feel joy now during this this time of the season, during just during this time.
So anyway.
Okay, now I'll start.
Now the audience the audience broke out in laughter.
Right.
Listen, I will guarantee you I personally have felt joy every single day since election night.
Our long national nightmare, Mr. Speaker, it is now officially over in 39 days or 38 days, whatever it is.
So don't so don't you feel joy too?
I'm very joyful.
I'm I'm very happy.
Uh and mo most Americans are according to a poll today, but um anyway, you do have a good book I want to tell people about before we let you go.
March to the majority, and I know you will be active and talking to President Trump and the Senate Majority Leader Thune and Speaker Johnson.
Uh they're gonna need your your help, your counsel, your advice, which uh I think based on your experience is second to none.
And and thank you for all you did during this campaign, Mr. Speaker.
You played a big role.
Well, we're gonna keep plugging away, and the last time they had two reconciliation bills in one year happened to be while I was speaker, so I'm trying to help think through how we get everything done in the very first six months, so we have a huge nine uh two thousand and twenty-six.
And I think it can be done.
It's gonna be exciting.
This is this is where this is your wheelhouse.
This is what you were born to do.
Uh New Gingrich, former Speaker of the House, thank you, sir.
All right, 25 now till the top of the hour, 800-941, if you want to be a part of the program.
Listen, a lot of Americans they're feeling stressed.
The Harris, the Biden economy, it is just killing people financially.
Now, there are ways to get out from under the debt you have, high interest credit card debt, many people putting bare necessities on their credit cards.
Now, if you own a home, if you're a property owner, AmericanFinancing.net, they can help you save money.
They're saving their average customer right now $800 a month.
And guess what?
You get rid of that high interest credit card debt.
That's a lot of money back in your pocket.
That's like a ten thousand dollar a year raise.
Now you can start off the new year without that debt, and without those monthly minimum payments, it costs nothing.
You get a free, no obligation consultation.
866-615-9200, 866-615-9200, or on the web, American Financing dot net.
NMS 22334, NMLS Consumer Access.org.
All right.
Let me uh I am obsessed, Linda.
I can't help it.
I all I'm talking about is the drone.
I cannot believe it.
You should be.
You should be talking about it.
The first drone, the size of a bus that sounds like a Harley that nobody knows anything about.
That's what they're telling us, and has no urgency about.
Now, uh, it's more than bizarre.
Now they're beginning to show up in Pennsylvania as well.
Did you know that?
They are beginning to show up.
That that is correct.
And and let me tell you something.
We looked outside last night.
It's a super weird sound.
It sounds, it sounds like everybody says like a motor, like a weird motor, like a like you'd hear in an automobile.
But it's ginormous.
It's it's like the size of like uh, you know, a like a bus or a boat.
I said, you know, it kind of reminds me of like, you know, Darty's house is like hovering above your own house.
And then as they get closer, they go dark.
Now when you take your phone out and you videotape it with your phone, what's really weird is that what you don't see with your eyes, your phone is picking up.
So you're getting more drones in the video tape and the pictures on your phone than you can actually see with your naked eye.
I mean, it's really scary.
Let me let me put a Brian Bergen, new you new new Drew New Joycey assembly men slamming the drone briefing because they didn't tell us anything.
Oh, we don't know.
It's the FBI.
It's the Department of Homeland Security.
Our military has no idea.
Why haven't they shot one of these suckers down and taken a look at it or captured one of them?
It's it's an it's madness.
Uh anyway, let's play him.
That was an amateur hour presentation where they told us nothing.
When I got here today, I was concerned about what I could tell my constituents to ease their concerns.
Now I'm legitimately concerned.
The Colonel of State Police told us that he had one of his helicopters hovered above one of these drones, but felt unsafe for the pilots, so he let the drone go and had them come land.
We are not d the state police, the Department of Homestone Security, the FBI, they are not doing what they need to do to figure out what the issue is.
There's their answer to us was they don't have any answers, and they're not sure what's going on.
Now he's not the only one speaking out.
New York uh may uh New York mayors are slamming this idiot governor in New Jersey, Phil Murphy, you know, after his drone briefing, oh, there's nothing to worry about.
Well, we don't know anything, but they're very sophisticated, and as soon as you put eyes on them, they go dark.
Okay, and eighty percent of drones come from China.
Here's what these mayors are saying.
The governor is not inside.
Where are you, Phil Murphy?
This is ridiculous.
I think the governor needs to get on TV and start talking to the residents of New Jersey to ensure that uh, you know, a panic doesn't ensue.
I'm incredibly disappointed by the the briefing.
How do I feel confident telling my residents as the mayor that don't worry about it?
Because someone actually did ask them, what if they're doing surveillance?
What if there is a chemical threat?
And um I unfortunately I didn't hear anything that gave me confidence.
I left after only ten minutes.
Because they said there's nothing new they're gonna tell us.
They don't know where they come from, where they land, what they are, what they're there for.
I thought there was something that we needed to know.
Um and that it was gonna be shared to let it you know, let us know.
Um there is nothing.
Anyway, eight hundred nine four one Sean.
Now what did you hear at your house?
Tell the whole story.
So yeah, we were looking, you know, last night we heard like some sounds, you know, and you look out your window and I'm they're close.
It's not like you're looking far away, like, you know, we're pretty close to an airport here, and you know, the planes go by all the time.
So I was like, Oh, it might be a military plane or something, you know, because we're by a military base too.
So I was like, hmm, I don't know.
And then I looked out and I'm like, uh my God.
I'm like, okay.
So they're they're like big and they look round and they make a very loud motor type sound.
It's uh definitely a real thing.
And I don't know if it's our government or somebody else's government.
I don't know who's saying what, but at the end of the day, you know, just you use your own eyeballs.
You know, I don't know what that is, but it definitely scares the crap out of me because nobody seems to want to tell us what it actually is.
And you did you actually hear it and see it?
Yeah, you can hear it far away.
And it's super close.
It's super close.
It's the the engine is loud.
It sounds like a car or a motorcycle.
Unbelievable.
It's not small, it's ginormous.
Yeah, it's the size of a bus, or did you think even bigger?
I thought it was bigger.
I mean, it you know, we have like big open sky here, you know, and it's like yesterday was like it had rained all all day and it kind of stopped like around ten or eleven here.
You know, and I was out walking the dog and I was like, You gotta be kidding me.
I'm like, what the hell is that?
Right.
Unbelievable.
All right, let's get to our phones.
Uh Caroline's in my free state of Florida.
Caroline, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean, thank you.
Um speaking of all these drones and things, and thank you for taking my call.
Um, where is Biden at during all this?
Where is Harris?
Have they up and left us like they did everything in Afghanistan?
And my question is we know that it's not until the twentieth of January when Trump will finally take off us again.
But since he's got everybody lined up, I think he's more prepared this time than he was last time.
And why I know we can't, but why can't we just go ahead and put him in as president now?
Because we need him here.
We don't know what's going on with those drones.
We don't know what's going on anywhere in the United States.
Well, nobody knows what's going on.
Nobody knows who's operating them.
Nobody knows where they came from.
Nobody knows what they're capable of.
I'm sorry.
That is not acceptable to me.
It's not a good idea.
You have to assume that.
Maybe it turns out not to be.
But look you know, in the meantime, assume that it's a threat.
And assume that it's one of our, you know, enemies doing this.
this is not some hobbyist you'll never convince me it's some little hobbyist that built you know this many drones uh the size of school buses and bigger You know, and is flying them all over the state.
I c I just I cannot believe we've not we've not we don't have the greater urgency to deal with this.
Uh this is insane.
Anyway, Caroline, thank you.
We'll go to the state of New Joyce E. Say hi to Kathleen.
Kathleen, glad you called.
Have you seen any of these?
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Uh yes, I see them all the time, every night.
Um, but I do want to um share something with you.
I know that this has become a big issue in the past couple of months.
But this is not new.
I have seen my very first one a year and a half ago, and I have seen them repeatedly ever since.
Um my husband and I were coming home, we live in Gloucester County, and we were coming down which is Route 168, and I just happened to look out the passenger window, and I says to my husband, what in the name of God is that?
And it was very low.
I saw the entire outline of this thing.
The center of this is like the size of I won't say a car, I won't say a bus.
I'm in between the two.
But the wingspan on it is very large.
And the wingspan, if you were to take a hammer and put the hammer head on both sides of the hammer, that is exactly the outline of the wingspan.
That's what they look like.
And they fly over here all night, every night.
I sit on my porch having my cigarette.
I can count four of them in one shot, five of them in another shot, and they fly low.
Now, as far as going dark, I've never seen one go dark.
They stay lit until they're way out of sight.
But they're and they come from the south, which is to me it would be Delaware, and they head north, which would be towards Trenton.
But these are not new.
I have been seeing these for a year and a half.
I don't think anybody's really ever taken notice to it.
Well, the first known spotting of this that is on record is November eighteenth.
You know, but it's accelerated in the number of sightings now are through the roof.
People seeing them all the time, and it's not like they're making it up because they're taking pictures of 'em.
Exactly.
So so do I. I like I said, I sit on my porch and I videotape them it on video.
But I seen one a year and a half ago.
That got attention.
Did and it was it as big as the ones that people are seeing now?
Oh yes, it was huge.
It was huge.
And just flew parallel with us.
Parallel.
We've never seen anything like it.
We had no clue what it was.
Unbelievable.
A year and a half ago is when I saw my very first one.
All right, what kind of cigarettes were you out there smoking?
No, honestly, I mean, uh the I see them all the time.
All the time.
And now they're just there's just so many that you can't even keep count of them.
And I live in Gloucester County.
So I know that they have them down to Camden County, but they're they're down here in Gloucester County.
And like I said, they seem to be coming from the Delaware direction, heading north towards Trenton.
And they flashing of the red triangle, and then the red triangle turns white.
Then it goes back to red.
And they make 90 degree turn.
They don't they don't slightly turn.
They make a 90 degree turn.
Well, thank you, Kathleen.
Appreciate that uh eyewitness testimony.
It's this is this is chilling.
If this ends up being an attack, I will tell you Biden, Harris, Mayorcus, everybody will have blood on their hands.
The fact that they've had no urgency here.
Rick is in Detroit.
Hey, Rick, how are you?
Hi, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Big fan.
You have a lot of hard working blue-collar uh uh folks there that get up every day, work really, really hard, play by the rules, pay their taxes, salt of the earth people that make the country great.
So we love our friends in Detroit.
Good guys.
Well, Michigan went red this time this time.
So it did.
By the way, thank you for that.
I got a quick uh story about the drones, which just annoy me, but I'm my guess is they're lying.
Not like you know, the homeland secretary has never lied to us before, but they have the technology to find out about these drones.
And I can tell you um roughly two years ago.
My daughter and son-in-law live in Ann Arbor.
They happen to live like two miles from the University of Michigan football stadium.
And again, two years ago, there was uh there was an afternoon game.
They left at halftime because of what wasn't a good game.
They walked home.
My son-in-law decides to take his drone out the backyard to start flying it.
In the backyard, about two miles from a stadium.
Within ten minutes of him watching the drone, six Ann Arbor police officers showed up at their house.
Two uh in squat gear.
Right.
They knew and and they showed up, and this is just a regular hobbyist having fun with the drone.
I know people that do that.
Yeah, they they confiscated the drone, went through their house, looked for more drones in the house, couldn't obviously didn't find any because I was the only one he had, and they took the drone away and gave them a citation.
Um, I don't know, I forgot what it was, 150 citation for you know, flying it too close to, you know, obviously like a a big gathering, you know, obviously from the where the football game was going on.
So I I I mean they this is the Ann Arbor police, right?
I mean, I d do they could need to show the FBI how to locate a drone.
Wow, unbelievable.
I I I I just don't believe it.
I think they're lying to us.
I think what you're describing is more accurate is that police and uh certainly, you know, our military, certainly our intelligence community, certainly the FBI, you know, th there's no way you can convince me that they're not able and capable of identifying where they're coming from, who's operating them, what their capabilities are, and i I don't know what's worth worse.
If they're lying to us or they don't know, I would say if they don't know, that's worse than them lying to us.
And lying to us, I don't like being lied to by my government.
I really don't.
But anyway, not a lot of good options.
Yeah, I gotta believe technology now from two years ago is even better that they could identify this because a hundred percent.
They have to know they you could follow it and find out where it lands for crying out loud.
It's got to land at some point.
I don't think it operates, you know, I haven't heard of anything that can operate without a charge or some type of you know, energy uh supporting it and flying it.
So I it's it's making no sense to me.
Anyway, my friend, I appreciate the call.
800-941 Sean, our number if you want to be a part of the program.
