Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
Join us every Tuesday and Thursday, normally, on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
It is Super Bowl Sunday weekend, and it is taking place in the great state of Louisiana in the city of New Orleans.
I do have advice.
I've been to New Orleans.
I've been to Bourbon Street.
I was there post-Katrina.
Wow, I never saw anything like it in my life.
It was like devastation.
You know, I was on a bridge on both sides of the bridge as far as the eye could see.
It was heartbreaking.
And then I went on the ground and met people.
It was just, it was terrible.
And I know they've been rebuilding, and it's a great city.
There's great people.
And I'm happy that they have the Super Bowl.
I know a lot of people are going to be there.
Don't drink a hurricane, no matter what.
You know, tourists, you know, they get caught up in drinking hurricanes.
That's as bad as drinking a Long Island iced tea.
And as a former bartender, I could tell you that somebody would order a Long Island iced tea, and I'd look at it and I'd say, you are so dumb.
They'll be puking after the second one.
Almost guaranteed.
Anyway, the great governor of Louisiana, Governor Landry, is with us to discuss this and a lot of issues.
Governor, first congratulations on having the Super Bowl.
The world will turn its attention to your great state.
We love your senators down there, Cassidy, and we especially have a fondness for Senator Kennedy.
He's a trip.
We love him.
He's the funniest guy, I think, in the U.S. Senate.
What's going on?
Oh, he is.
He is.
Listen, thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah, it's an unbelievable time to be in the city.
You know, it's a city that has had its share of tragedies.
I mean, starting on New Year's Day, we've been, you know, Sean, it's amazing because three years ago, New Orleans was ranked one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
And, you know, at the time I was Attorney General, you know, we've been watching, we watched the headwinds at law enforcement and ruling order and just law and order has taken in the country.
And so when I became the governor, one of the first things we focused on was public safety with an eye that we were going to put the Super Bowl on.
And we worked real hard.
Our legislature has been super fantastic in being able to give us the laws and arm our men and women in uniform with the tools necessary to combat crime and to make sure that we focused on victims.
And things were going great up until New Year's.
And I was actually continuing it.
And the wake up to that tragedy was certainly just, man, it was just like a punch in the gut, having to deal with the loss of life.
By the way, for those that don't recall, this was the attack on Bourbon Street in downtown New Orleans that killed 14 people.
And it was a tragedy.
I saw that.
My heart broke for you and broke for those families.
Senseless act of complete terrorism.
And so we had to pick ourselves back up.
And I don't think there's a city capable of being able to do that in New Orleans.
And they did it.
They wrapped their arms around the families and those that were injured.
And we put on a Sugar Bowl and we worked towards opening the city back up to the world for the Super Bowl.
And I got to tell you, I wish you were down there.
It's unbelievable.
In fact, I watched the interview last night with Pam Bondi.
She was General Bondi in New Orleans right before that.
Secretary Noam was here on Monday.
I wish you were down in the city.
The place is wonderful.
It really is.
And there's so many men and women that are working to keep the city safe and to make sure that this event goes on without a hitch.
You know, I did have an opportunity to go this year, and the only reason I passed is because I wanted to be with my kids.
And, you know, we're having this big, huge cookoff, which is going to be a lot of fun.
And it's a great place to hang out.
Yeah, you've got to agree with me on hurricanes, though, right?
You advise tourists, maybe, maybe avoid the hurricane.
Maybe go for your regular drink.
Maybe get a beer.
Maybe get a vodka and whatever.
Am I giving good advice?
Oh, listen.
I was like cracking up while I was listening to you.
And I was like, how does he notice?
Well, I was a bartender.
I said, oh, he knows exactly why.
Like, you're going to be.
And you can't mix that much alcohol and sugar in one drink and not expect to get sick.
You just can't.
And you can't.
No.
When the problem is, it's so good.
You say, well, maybe if you could have one.
You know what I mean?
But the problem is, you know, those things are like at the Rito.
You just can't have one.
Okay, so you're going to have five hurricanes.
I promise you, you know, even an experienced drinker is going to end up in the bathroom.
Oh, my God.
The Super Bowl.
They're not going to see this.
Exactly.
They're not going to see the Super Bowl.
Now, the food is great down in New Orleans.
I will tell you that.
I mean, there's nothing like the culture of New Orleans, and it's just a lot of fun.
Let me go to the safety security issues.
And you're right.
I know Pam Bondi was down there yesterday.
I'm glad she was there.
I'm glad Governor, well, now Secretary Noam was down there as well.
And, you know, whenever there's a big event like this, we've got to worry about security.
And in my mind, I think security right now is tougher for everybody in light of what we now know.
And that is among the 14, 15, whatever the number is of unvetted Harris Biden illegal immigrants that they led in the country, we know that there are known terrorists in the country, but we don't know where they are.
We know that there are cartel members in the country, gang members in the country.
We know there are known murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals in the country.
And we've president, God bless him.
I mean, he's done a great job, you know, promising, fulfilling his promise to get rid of a lot of these people, but this is going to take a long time because there's so many of them.
So we've got to worry about an attack on the homeland.
And how confident are you with all the resources?
President Trump has only been in office.
This is his third week.
How confident are you about the safety and security of the Super Bowl?
I've got to imagine security is going to be tight.
It is.
It is.
Security is going to be real tight.
Look, I think you start off by saying this, Sean, is that Americans don't really feel safe.
They have not felt safe.
I think that's one of the things that propelled President Trump to his second term was that they felt that this is a guy who's going to get serious about public safety and securing their communities and their states and this nation.
And I mean, he put together a solid team, by the way, which, you know, I've been screaming at the top of my voice to make sure that the Senate confirms, you know, I'm glad they finally confirmed Pam Bonnie.
I'm glad they got Christie in right away.
They need to get Kash Patel in.
I mean, those are critical pieces to the team that help.
And every one of them, each one of them are committed to the Make America Safe Again platform.
And so if you ask me what I think about the future of America, we get that team firmly in place with the president there.
America is going to look and feel a lot different in 12 months.
You know, it's always a lot of fun.
There's always a lot of activities around there.
I remember like kicking field goals and they have stuff for kids and they have all sorts of events going on.
And I assume that New Orleans in particular, it's going to be crazy down by Bourbon Street and surrounding areas.
You're going to have a lot of music and a lot of people partying and having a good time.
Yeah, look, it's unbelievable.
You know, Fox is hosting it, right?
Fox Sports is.
That's everywhere.
They're going to be broadcasting from Bourbon Street.
The city is just alive.
It really is.
And because of the compactness of the city next to it.
With all due respect, Governor, that city is always alive.
There's no.
There's no downtime for Bourbon Street.
No, nobody sleeps around here.
Nobody sleeps around here.
I'm telling you, I just can't wait to go inside the Superdome.
And going back to what you said, I could not believe that it's a 59th Super Bowl, that this is going to be the first city president to be at a Super Bowl.
I just said that just blows my mind away.
But I tell you what, we are waiting just with open arms for the president to come and watch a game with us.
Yeah, I think it's going to make it really, really special.
Patrick Bahomes and his mother both commented how special it would be to have the president of our country there.
I know the president's a big football fan, and I look forward to that.
He's going to be interviewed by my colleague, my friend Brett Baer.
Did you know I'm in a Super Bowl ad this year?
Again?
I am going to be in a Super Bowl ad this year for Fox News, yeah, with Brett Baer.
I know that.
I did not know that.
Well, you're probably not going to see it.
I'm going to probably have to send it to you.
The worst part is, unbeknownst to me, Fox sent out a blooper reel when we were taping this Super Bowl ad.
And it's funny, but I didn't expect it.
I'll put it that way.
Well, you got to send me it.
Because you're right.
Listen, unfortunately, I'm not going to have the luxury that you're going to have with the kids of being able to watch it like a great football fan from the comfort of a living room or somewhere else.
And even though I'm going to be at the game, I'm sure there's going to be distractions, and we're not going to be able to see the great commercials.
So, yeah, you're going to have to help me out.
Well, you're the governor of the state.
I got to imagine you're sitting in a box, no?
Am I wrong?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
We're going to be with the president in the box and with all of the guests and whatnot.
But we're not going to be able to see the great commercials.
Well, I know, especially, Mike, we'll send it over to you so you don't miss it.
We'll even send the blooper reel for kicks and giggles.
Anyway, any favorites?
I know you probably wish the Saints were in it, but okay.
I know.
I wish the Dolphins were in it because I now live in Florida, as you know.
But, you know, you can't have everything you want.
And I'm kind of interested in Kansas City getting a three-peat because that's never happened before.
Yeah, that's where I'm torn.
I mean, you got the whole Philly story, but then, you know, look, records are made to break.
That's what I believe.
And so, you know, anytime you can get there and somebody can do it, I mean, and then be there when they do it.
You know, it's special.
So that's what I'm thinking.
But again, I'm kind of torn.
I just want the game to go on and be just a great game.
And I think here's the one thing.
I don't think anybody believes that this is going to be like a blowout game, right?
I think that everybody believes that this is going to be.
No, they're two great teams.
There's no denying it.
The defense of the Eagles is just fierce.
But, you know, on the other side of it, I think you got the best quarterback and some of the best receivers and running backs in the game and the best offense.
And it's going to be, you know, it's going to be a heck of a game.
I'll tell you that.
Oh, it's going to be, it will be unbelievable.
Unbelievable.
In an unbelievable city, in an unbelievable stadium.
All right, we'll take a quick break.
We'll come back.
We'll continue.
Toll-free is 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program more with the Governor of Louisiana, Governor Landry, as we head into Super Bowl Sunday, and we continue.
Hey there, I'm Mary Catherine Hammond, and I'm Carol Markowitz.
We've been in political media for a long time.
Long enough to know that it's gotten, well, a little insane.
That's why we started Normally, a podcast for people who are over the hysteria and just want clarity.
We talk about the issues that actually matter to the country without panic, without yelling, and with a healthy dose of humor.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take the truth seriously.
So if you're into common sense, sanity, and some occasional sass, you're our kind of people.
Catch new episodes of Normally every Tuesday and Thursday on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you listen.
All right, we continue now.
Super Bowl Sunday.
We got Kansas City versus the Eagles.
It's going to be a great game.
We continue with Governor Landry, who met with Pam Bondi, the Attorney General yesterday, previously meeting with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam.
And we're praying for a safe and secure Super Bowl for all the attendees, all the people visiting the great city of New Orleans.
What do you advise people?
What is your, you know, I mean, I know there's been, I think you call them Benets.
I remember I went to that.
What is the famous Benet shop in New Orleans?
Okay, I go there and some jackass liberal starts attacking me and I said, would you like me to buy you these?
No, no, I don't want your money.
I'm like, oh, great.
I got to sit there and listen to this idiot.
What is your favorite local fare?
What do you recommend for people that are visiting the city?
What are your favorite dishes?
Well, look, Cafe Dumont is always a great place to go and get beyond.
You can go to Drago's and get the oysters.
I mean, you know, grilled oysters.
You can't go wrong right there, right?
Look, New Orleans has so many great restaurants.
Both those that have been here, I mean, Antoine's one of the oldest restaurants in the country.
You love Cajun food?
Do you like Jambalayo?
What do you like?
I like it all.
I do.
I like it all.
No, I just like it.
I love the seafood.
I'm a big seafood guy.
That's what I'm saying.
You come down to Dragos, get some of those great grilled oysters that are just unbelievable, put a little parmesan, garlic, butter.
Of course, you can put that in just about anything.
It'd be great.
But oysters are fantastic.
And, of course, you know, in the morning, you get up, you get you a good cup of coffee and get you a beignet.
And look, next time you come to the city, let me know.
Me and you will go eat the beignets and, you know, we'll.
No, they're absolutely delicious, especially if I could just eat it in peace without some crazy left-wing lunatic screaming at me from the table next to me.
I mean, that was my experience when I went there.
I'm like, oh, seriously?
I mean, can I just eat this?
I'll pay for yours if you just shut up.
Yeah, you know, you can't do that anymore.
You come with me.
You can let them yell at me.
You enjoy the beignets.
Listen, it's not my first rodeo being yelled at.
I'll tell you this, Governor.
We love your state.
We love the people of Louisiana.
We love New Orleans.
We love you, Senator Kennedy.
We love, oh, we like Senator Cassidy, too.
We're just praying for a safe Super Bowl and the people that are visiting your city.
I hope they had the best time ever.
Well, thank you.
Thank you so much.
And thank you for loving New Orleans and Louisiana.
Thank you for having me on the show.
And God bless you.
And we'll see you soon.
Don't forget to send me the commercial.
All right.
I appreciate it.
We'll send that to you right away.
ASAP 800-941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
When we come back, we've got to have a reckoning here with Linda on her position on a field goal.
It can be one point, sometimes two points another time.
We just have to, we have to, I have to get this out of the way.
Anyway, 800-941 Sean is a number.
You want to be a part of the program?

Quick break, right back.
Linda tries to defend her answer.
Next.
All right.
Before we get to our busy phones, Linda does not want to admit that she did not know how many points were in a field goal this week.
So I'm just going to get off the topic because you just are flat out.
You know, I asked you, if you kick a field goal, how many points do you get?
And you said one or two, and that was your answer.
And that's the correct answer.
It is not the correct answer.
If you kick a field gold, you get three points.
If you kick the extra point, you get one point, or you can go for two.
Which is the two-point conversion I talked about.
And in the last few days, you did not.
No, no, no, no, no.
Oh, yes, I did.
You want to hear the tape.
I want to hear the tape.
Standby.
Well, wait a minute.
I want to know if you edited the tape at the direction of Linda.
Dare you.
First of all, Jason is never going to edit anything about sports.
Let's be honest.
Katie and Jason are our sports.
Let's go to the audio tape.
I do know what an extra program.
You didn't know what an extra point is.
That was then.
This is now.
I've grown.
You didn't know how many points do you get for a field goal?
How many full points do you get for a field goal?
Sometimes one, sometimes two.
Stop the tape.
Sometimes three.
Stop the answer.
Oh!
Stop the tape.
Sometimes one, sometimes two.
And then I go wrong, and then you go sometimes two.
Sometimes three.
I wasn't done talking.
You mean you interrupted me?
This is not breaking news, my friend.
Your answer was, how many points do you get for a field goal?
Sometimes one, sometimes two.
That is the wrong answer.
Sometimes three.
No, you did not.
Unless you do listen.
No, you get a bad thing.
Yes, you do.
At the end of the day.
You can get the extra point.
Oh, my God.
Do you want to hear what I have to say or do you want to pretend to be a little bit more comfortable?
No, because the whole world just heard you answer.
All right, hang on.
We're going to do it.
We're going to do it.
Let's let the audience decide.
Tom in Louisiana, did she get the answer right or wrong?
Tom, are you there?
She got it right.
What are you smoking in Louisiana?
Stay right there.
We're going to get back to you.
Jim in Kentucky.
Did she get the answer right or wrong?
It sounded right to me, Sean.
Hey, Sean, thanks for taking my call.
What do you mean you get a football?
What do you mean a field goal just gives you one point or two?
I've got one of my points.
Man, oh, Matt, Jim, stay there.
We'll get to your call in a minute.
Scott in Georgia, tell me, did she get the answer correct or wrong?
Oh, Scott, you sell out.
You kiss her.
Stay right there.
Stay right there, Scott.
No, Scott's telling the truth in the church.
No, he's not.
He's only telling the truth because his butterfly is.
You're in Alabama.
Did she get the answer right or wrong?
Is she playing arena football or Canadian?
No, no, talking about the Super Bowl.
I usually like arena football enough enough.
Okay, but that's not what we were talking about.
Did she get the answer right or wrong?
Wrong, wrong.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
He's from Alabama, Roll Tide, War Eagles.
Stay right there, Jeff.
Don't hang out.
What a surprise.
North Carolina, Alabama is on your side.
Oh, my God.
No, somebody from Alabama that knows football.
Thank you very much.
I know.
Jim in North Carolina.
Did she get the answer right or wrong?
I'm sorry to say, but it's wrong.
Field goal is three.
Thank you.
Field gold is three.
Okay, Tom.
Maybe you should get in room with me.
Tom, did she get the question correct or incorrect?
Incorrect.
Thank you.
Stay right there.
Jim in Kentucky.
I played it again.
Was she right or wrong?
Well, she was wrong, but I think she thought about rugby or something.
So, yeah.
All right.
So every caller now has agreed with me.
What would you like to add to, you know, to dig your hole deeper?
First of all, I don't dig holes, okay?
I stand above ground at all times because I'm a lady of the truth.
Now, let me be very clear.
Whatever the words are that you want to use for your point system, knock yourself out.
What I was talking about.
Stop.
Stop, stop.
Wait a minute.
Oh, this is fun.
It's not my point.
I got a whole 15 seconds.
You know, if you let people finish their sentences, how many points do you get for information?
I'm going to get for a field goal.
Then you said sometimes one, sometimes two.
And I said that is the wrong answer.
Because the goal going down the field through the uprights, or as I would call them, the field goal, are the points that we use in the football game.
Now, I don't know all the special names that you have for all the special things, but I know that.
Field gold is not a special name.
Excuse me.
What is the matter with you?
Do you want to live in the closet or do you want to understand my place in this world when it comes to football?
How many points?
It's up to you.
If you don't want to know, I'll be quiet.
How many points are you going to do?
Do you want the answer to the original question that you got wrong?
Sure.
Okay.
Whatever makes you feel better.
You want to add your dig, that's fine.
I don't play the dig game.
I play the standing on even ground.
Do you know why?
Because I know that the point that follows the touchdown is one point.
Now, I don't have a title.
That's called an extra point.
That's not called the field goal.
So in fairness, I did not know that until Katie screamed it at me the other day in the studio.
But I said, who the hell cares what it's called?
It's one point.
It's a field goal in the field goal thing at the end, the upright thing.
It's not a field goal.
The field goal is to get it.
But to me, it is.
It's a goal on the field.
It's worth one.
It follows the touchdown.
Now, the two-point conversion I only learned about in the last four weeks because they were using it so much in the last end as we were leading up to the playoffs.
Now, I never saw that before, but I know that it's two points, and I know it's at the end of the field through the thing that we call the goal, and they're through the upright.
So another field goal, two points.
I didn't know it didn't have that special point.
No, no, no.
That's not the same thing.
And then three points is the kick you do from the middle of the field.
And whenever you do the kick, you get three points.
And that I knew.
Now, all the special names that you and your excuse me.
I don't care about your terms, special names.
They don't matter now.
Now I know the terms.
Special names.
Special names.
There's official names, special names.
You can't admit that you're wrong, can you?
You just, it's not wrong.
I'm not wrong.
It's just semantics.
It's like, you know, somebody, you know, it's like homage and homage.
It's the same thing.
We're saying the same thing.
A field goal is not an extra point.
I know how much point conversion.
Well, it is a goal on the field through the field goal uprights.
So, I mean, you know, it gets a little funny.
For those of us not raised in football, I know when they happen.
I know the one point comes after a touch.
I know this is a good point.
Because I could not.
You know, let me get my rapid radio because during the Super Bowl game, I'm going to rapid radio your ass.
I mean, like, one point field goal, two points, field goal.
Anyways.
No, two-point would be the two-point conversion.
The extra point is going to be a good thing.
But it's down the field through the goal, hence the field goal term.
Oh, my word.
I cannot believe.
What are you saying, Jason?
I'm saying, please stop.
That hole is now a grave.
It's not a grave.
Oh, you're not saying I'm not doing well in this.
It's very bad for you.
It's very, not at all.
Not at all.
If you adjust.
Do you know why?
Because I know where the points have to be.
Why don't you just say, I got the terms mixed up?
I was thinking about the fact that I already said, I don't know your special terms, but I know what the points are, and I know where they have to go.
You say your special terms.
They're not my special terms.
They're the terms.
Well, when I watch the game with my family and my friends, and I'm like, oh, they're going to get a point here.
I don't say, oh, and here we go for the extra point.
And then when I say, oh, they could get three points here if they did a what?
Field goal.
Well, if I say three points just by itself, everybody else knows it's a field goal.
I don't know what's called a field goal, but it's three points.
So I'm like, a field goal.
Okay, fine.
And then the two-point conversion, like I said, I just learned about this last four weeks.
So I can't really go on into terms.
All right.
Tom and Louisiana call for a very different reason.
Tom, do you see what I'm up against here?
Do you see how frustrating this is?
Yep.
Yep.
What's on your mind?
By the way, congrats to New Orleans, Louisiana.
We're happy you guys have the Super Bowl.
Oh, we're excited.
We're excited because Sunny's going to be a big day.
Sean, I want to give some context to Elon Musk and these young software engineers.
I'm a CPA auditor.
We employ these techniques that they're using to analyze data.
It's called data analytics data mining.
I need a software engineer to work with me, a CPA, to help write the program to get the data.
And we, as CPAs, analyze that data.
So we're looking for patterns, you know, anomalies.
And Elon is right on target.
So what he's doing is a standard business practice.
Elon has done this country a great service, and he's going to continue to do a great service for the country.
And I'll tell you right now, I'm beginning my prayers because it looks like March 26th is the date that he's going to go save the astronauts that were abandoned by Kamala Harris and Joe Biden.
And, you know, the fact that we need Elon Musk to do the job that NASA should be doing speaks volumes, but regardless.
And I'm not dissing the people at NASA, but there's no excuse.
They were only supposed to be there eight days.
They're there nearly 300 days.
And I want these people home.
And I pray to God that that mission is successful.
And I'm grateful to him for everything that he's done.
I'm grateful that he helped the people of North Carolina.
I am grateful that he's helped the people in California.
I am grateful that he's given Americans choices and Starlink and PayPal and everything else that he's put together.
Anyway, my friend Tom, you guys have a great time.
Don't drink a hurricane.
If you're not from Louisiana, don't drink a hurricane.
That is my advice.
All right, quick break.
Right back.
We'll hit the phones.
Toll-free, 800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program on this very frustrating Friday Super Bowl Sunday weekend as we continue.
The final of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
On for Sean's conservative solutions.
Get back to our busy phones.
800-941-Sean is a number.
Jim in Kentucky.
Jim, do you see what I have to deal with here?
It's a hard road that you have to hold there, Sean.
I'm telling you, man, geez, that was a heavy lift.
Hey, I thank you for taking my call.
It's a very simple idea.
In the military, communication was one of the most important things we had.
We'd have three formations a day, put out what the information, the first start one out today, what uniform to wear, all that.
So nobody ran around not knowing what was going on, and it dispelled a lot of missing rumors.
In your opinion, President Trump, you remember Roosevelt had the fireside chats.
Only half of this country is hearing anything from our president because they just don't tune in.
If there was a way he could address the whole nation or at least have the opportunity, the mainstream channels, once every two weeks, here's what we've done.
Here's what's really happening.
Here's what we're doing for this country and for you.
And let them steal it.
It'll get bigger and bigger as he goes.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Look, I think the president, he's been talking to the media every day.
I do comprehensive interviews with him.
I'll be doing them fairly regularly with him, and others will as well.
And there's going to be no shortage of time that Donald Trump will be before the American people.
And frankly, I like the fact that we have a president that's capable of talking to the American people for an extended period of time.
And I love the transparency that he's bringing to government.
I love, you know, I think Americans, if you pay taxes and the average American makes $66,000 a year, and you see hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on money abroad for woke programs, Green New Deal programs,
DEI programs, transgenderism, LGBTQ plus programs worldwide, and you see Americans suffering, every American taxpayer should be disgusted.
And you know who really makes this country great?
The people that work hard, play by the rules, obey the laws, pay their taxes, people like you, people like me.
And I look at that and it makes my blood boil that they would squander and steal our money and our children's money and our grandchildren's money.
Anyway, you've been very patient, Jim.
We do appreciate you being there.
I don't know how you got that wrong the first time, but I'm glad you got it right the second time.
800-941-Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, Linda's having a hard time dealing with the fact that all of you in the audience know that a field gold gives you three points.
But we'll talk more about that later.
You might think that using your gun in self-defense, that is a tough situation.
You pray to God that never happens, right?
But, you know, if it does happen, it's a dangerous world.
It's where your nightmare can start in your life because we live in a time where government overreach is very real.
Prosecutors, politicians, they want nothing more than to make examples out of law-abiding gun owners, people like you and me.
I know it didn't involve a gun, but look what they tried to do to poor Daniel Penny.
He was just trying to protect old people and innocent people on a subway train.
I've been a proud member of the USCCA for over nine years, and I know if, God forbid, I ever find myself in that situation, I won't be standing alone.
I'll have the USCCA Army behind me.
That's why I want to encourage all of you, protect your family, protect your freedoms.
Join the over 800,000 safe, responsible gun owners like me that trust the USCCA to have their back with safety and training and situational self-defense in a lot of places around the country and resources.
And they provide self-defense liability insurance.
And that means they'll be there for you if some rogue prosecutor wants to put you in jail for defending yourself even in your own home.
Just text my last name, Hannity, H-A-N-N-I-T-Y, on your cell phone to the number 87222.
All right, text Hannity to 87222.
Learn about how membership with the USCCA will safeguard your family, protect your rights, and you'll be glad you did.
We'll continue.
You want smart political talk without the meltdowns?
We got you.
I'm Carol Markowitz, and I'm Mary Catherine Hamm.
We've been around the block in media, and we're doing things differently.
Normally is about real conversations.
Thoughtful, try to be funny, grounded, and no panic.
We'll keep you informed and entertained without ruining your day.
