All right, hour two, Sean Hannity's show.
It is Super Bowl Sunday weekend, and it has taken place in the great state of Louisiana in the city of New Orleans.
I do have advice.
I've been to Bourbon Street.
I've I've I was there post Katrina.
Wow.
I never saw anything like it in my life.
It was it was like devastation.
You know, on e I was on a bridge e on both sides of the bridge as far as the eye could see.
I I was it was heartbreaking.
And then I went on the ground and met people.
It was just it was terrible.
And uh I know they've been rebuilding and uh it's a great city.
There's great people, and uh I'm happy that they have the Super Bowl.
I know a lot of people are gonna be there.
Don't drink a hurricane, no matter what.
You know, tourists, you know, they get caught up in drinking hurricanes.
It's that's as bad as drinking a long island ice tea.
And as a former bartender, I could tell you that is the uh I somebody would order a Long Island Ice tea and I'd look at it and I'd say, You are so dumb.
Uh almost guaranteed.
Uh anyway, the great governor of Louisiana, uh, Governor Landry is with us uh to discuss uh this and a lot of issues.
Governor, first congratulations on having the Super Bowl.
Although the world will turn its attention to your great state.
Uh 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, yes, he is.
Listen, thank you.
Thank you for having me.
Yeah, it's it's a it's an unbelievable time to be in in the city.
Um uh, you know, it's it's a city that has had its share of of of tragedies.
I mean, starting on on New Year's uh day, you know, we've been, you know, you know, Sean, it's amazing because three years ago, New Orleans was ranked one of the most dangerous cities in the world.
And um, and and you know, at the time I was attorney general.
Uh, you know, we've been watching, we watched the headwinds at law enforcement and rule and order, and just law and order.
That's taken in in the country.
And and so when I became the governor, one of the first things we focused on was public safety with an eye that we were gonna 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 uh on uh up until New Year's and and I was acting in it and you know, and and and the wake up tonight tragedy was was was certainly just man, it was like a uh just like a punch in the gut, you know, having to deal with um the loss of life.
By the way, for the for those that don't recall, this was the attack on Bourbon Street in uh in downtown New Orleans that killed 14 people and uh it was it was it was a tragedy.
I saw that My heart broke for you And broke for those families Senseless act of complete terrorism and and and so we had to we had to pick ourselves back up, and I don't think there's a city capable of being able to do that, do that in New Orleans, and they did it.
They they they wrapped their arms around the families uh and those that were injured.
Um, and we put on a sugar bowl, and we worked towards uh opening the opening the city back up to the world for the Super Bowl, and I gotta tell you, I wish you were down it.
It's unbelievable.
In fact, in fact, I watched uh the interview um last night with Van Bonnie, she was uh General Bonnie was in New Orleans right before that.
Um Secretary Gnome 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 uh to keep uh the city safe and to make sure that this event goes on without a hitch.
You know, uh I I did have an opportunity to go this year, and I I I the only reason I passed is because I wanted to be with my kids and uh, you know, we're having this big huge cook-off, which is gonna be a lot of fun, and uh it's uh it's it it it's a great place to hang out.
Yeah, you gotta agree with me on hurricanes though, right?
You advised tourists, maybe maybe avoid the hurricane, maybe go for your regular drink, maybe get a beer, maybe get a vodka and whatever.
Uh 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 while I was a bartender?
I said, Oh, he knows exactly why, like you're gonna be.
And you can't 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 know.
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.
You can eat it.
Oh, okay.
So you're gonna have you're gonna have five hurricanes.
I promise you, you know, even an experienced drinker is gonna end up in the in the in the bathroom.
Um they're not gonna see the exactly.
They're not gonna see the Super Bowl.
Now the food is great down in New Orleans.
I will tell you that.
Uh I mean, the there's nothing like the culture of New Orleans, and it's it's just a lot of fun.
Let me go to the safety security issues, and you're right.
We I know Pam Bondy was down there yesterday.
I'm glad she was there.
I'm I'm glad Governor um uh well now Secretary Gnome was down there as well.
And you know, whenever there's a big event like this, we've 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 uh 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 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 uh president, God bless him.
I mean, he's done a great job, you know, promising uh fulfilling his promise to get rid of a lot of these people, but this is gonna take a long time because there's so many of them.
Um 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.
Uh how confident are you about the safety and security of the Super Bowl?
I've got to imagine security's gonna be tight.
It is, it is.
Security is gonna be real tight.
It would be worried.
Look, I I think you start off by by saying this, Sean, is that Americans don't really feel safe.
Have not felt safe.
Uh I think that's one of the things that propelled um President Trump to his second term uh was that they felt that this is a guy who's gonna get serious about public safety and securing um their communities and their states and and this nation.
And I mean, he put together a stolid team, by the way, which you know, I've been uh screaming at the top of my li my my voice to make sure that the Senate confirms, you know.
I'm glad they finally confirmed Pambonny.
I'm glad they got Christie in right away.
They need to get Cash Patel in.
I mean, those are those those are critical pieces to a team uh that help and every one of them, each one of them uh 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 twelve months.
You know, it's it's always a lot of fun.
There's always a lot of activities around there.
I remember like kicking uh field goals and and they have stuff for kids and and they have all sorts of events going on, and I assume that New Orleans in particular, it's gonna be crazy down by Bourbon Street and surrounding areas.
You're gonna have a lot of music and a lot of people party and having a good time.
Yeah, look, it's unbelievable.
I you know, um Fox is hosting it, right?
Fox Sports is that where they they're they're gonna be broadcasting from Bourbon Street.
Um the city is just alive.
It really it really is.
And because of the compactness of the city next to the with all due respect, Governor, that city's always alive.
There's no there's no downtime for Bourbon Street.
No, nobody sleeps around here.
Nobody sleeps around here.
No, I I'm I'm telling you, I just can't wait to go inside the Superdome.
I and going back to what you said, I could not believe that I this is a 59th Super Bowl that that this is going to be the first city president to be at a Super Bowl.
I just that just throws my mind away.
But I tell you what, we are waiting just with open arms uh for the president to come and watch the game with us.
Yeah, I I think it's uh it's gonna make it really, really special.
Patrick Mahomes and his mother, you know, both commented how special it would be to have the president of our country there.
Uh I know the president's a big football fan, and I uh I I look forward to that.
He's gonna be interviewed by my colleague, my friend Brett Bear.
You did you know I'm in a Super Bowl ad this year?
What is it again?
I am going to be in a Super Bowl ad this year for Fox News, yeah, with prep bear.
I know that.
I did not know that.
Well, you're probably not gonna see it.
I'm gonna probably have to send it to you.
The worst part is unbeknownst to me, Fox sent out a blooper reel when we're when we were taping this at this this Super Bowl ad, and it was it's funny, but I didn't expect it.
I'll put it that way.
Well, you gotta send me it.
You gotta because you're right.
Listen, I unfortunately I'm not gonna have the luxury that you're gonna have with the kids uh uh 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 gonna be at the game, I'm sure there's gonna be distractions, and we're not gonna be able to see the great commercials, so yeah, you're gonna have to help me out.
Well, you're in the you're the governor of the state.
I gotta imagine you're sitting in a box, no?
Am I wrong?
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, no, no.
We're gonna be with the president uh uh uh uh uh in the box and and with all of the guests and whatnot, but we're not gonna 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 uh and giggles.
Uh anyway, any any uh favorites?
I know you probably wish the Saints were in it, but okay.
I know I I wish the Dolphins were in it because I now live in Florida, as you know.
And uh, but you know, you can't have everything you want.
And um I'm kind of interested in Kansas City getting a three-peat.
Because that's never happened before.
Yeah, that that's my that's that's where I'm taught.
I mean, you got the whole Philly story, but then you know, look, records are made to break.
That's that's that's what I believe.
And so, you know, any time you can get there and somebody can do it, I mean, it's and then be there when they do it.
You know, it's it's special.
So I that's what I'm thinking.
Um, but again, I'm kind of torn.
I just want uh the game to go on and it'd be just a great game.
And I and I think that here's the one thing.
I don't think anybody believes that this is gonna be like a blowout game, right?
I think that everybody believes that this is gonna be.
No, they're two great two great teams.
There's no denying it.
The defense uh of the Eagles is just fierce.
And uh if uh it but you know, on the other h side of it, I think you got the best quarterback and and some of the best uh receivers and and running backs in the game and the best offense, and it's gonna be you know, it's gonna be a heck of a game, I'll tell you that.
Oh, it's gonna be i it it will be unbelievable.
Unbelievable in 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.

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 fast.
You're our kind of people.

Linda tries to defend her answer.
Next.
All right, before we uh get to our busy phones, um uh 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 gonna 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 a that's the correct answer.
It is not the correct answer.
If you kick a field goal, do you get three points?
If you kick the extra point, you get one point, or you can go for two and two-point conversion I talked about.
And in the last few minutes, no, that is not you did not no no no no.
Well, yes, I did two point conversion every mouth.
I want to hear the tape.
Stand by.
Well, wait a minute, a minute.
I want to know if you edited the tape at the the at the direction of Linda.
Dare you?
First of all, Jason is never gonna edit anything about sports.
Let's be honest.
Katie and Jason are our sports at the end.
Let's go to the audio tape.
I do know what it is.
You didn't know what an extra point is.
A year ago.
That was then.
This is now I've grown.
How many foot points do you get for a field goal?
Sometimes one, sometimes two.
Stop the tape.
Sometimes three.
Oh, oh.
Stop the tape.
Sometimes one, sometimes two.
Nah.
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.
You are the king of that.
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 do not.
Not a field goal.
Listen.
No, you don't have to go.
At the end of the day.
Yes, you do.
At the end of the day.
Oh my God.
Do you want to hear what I have to say?
Or do you want to pretend to be able to do that?
No, because the control just heard you answer.
You're very good.
All right, hang on.
We're gonna do it.
We're gonna do what 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 gonna get back to you.
Uh Jim in Kentucky, but 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 your field goal gives you one point or two?
And oh man, 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 me.
Stay right there.
Stay right there, Scott.
No, Scott's telling the truth, and the truth is.
No, he's not.
He's only telling the truth because his butter and your.
Is she playing arena football or Canadian?
No, no, talking about the Super Bowl.
I actually 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 eagle.
Stay right there, Jeff.
Don't hang on.
What a surprise.
Somebody from Alabama is on your side.
Oh my gosh.
No, somebody from Alabama that knows football.
Thank you very much.
Did she get the answer right or wrong?
I'm sorry to say, but it's wrong.
Field goal is three.
Thank you.
Field goal is three.
Okay, Tom.
You maybe you should get a room of the couple of things.
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 I 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.
Well, stop, stop, stop.
Wait a minute.
Oh, this is fun.
I got a whole 15 seconds.
You know, if you let people finish their sentences, you know what I mean?
You get information.
For a field goal, then you said sometimes one, sometimes two.
Right.
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 goal is not a special name.
What is the matter with you?
Do you do you want to live in the closet or do you want to understand my 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 do you want to do?
Do you want do you want to 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 uneven ground.
Do you know why?
Because I know that the point that follows the touchdown is one point.
Now I don't know.
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 a good thing.
But to me it is 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.
No, no, that's not a good 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 because they don't matter now.
Now I know the terms.
They are special names.
There's official names, special names.
You can admit that you're wrong, can you?
You just it's not a good idea.
I'm not wrong.
It's just semantics.
It's like, you know, somebody, you know, it's like 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 they are conversion.
Well, it is a goal on the field through the field goal uprights.
So I mean, you know, it gets a little funny.
I know when they happen.
I know the one point comes after a touchdown.
I know the three points come from again.
Because I I could not this game with you.
You know, let me get my rapid radio because during the football the Super Bowl game, I'm gonna 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 four.
Right, that's 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 that hole's now a grave.
I mean it's not a grave.
Oh, you're gonna be able to do that.
I'm saying I know you're not doing well in this.
It's it's very bad for you.
It's it's very not at all.
Not at all.
If you adjust the same thing.
Do you know why?
Because I know where the points have.
Why don't you just say I got the terms mixed up?
I was thinking about the I already said that.
And it's a good idea.
I already said I don't know your special terms, but I know what the points are, and I know where they have to.
Well 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 gonna 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, uh field goal.
Okay, fine.
And then the two-point conversion, like I said, I just learned about this the last four weeks, so I can't really go on into terms of that.
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.
Yep, yep.
What's on your mind?
By the way, congrats to uh New Orleans, Louisiana.
We're happy you guys have the the Super Bowl.
Oh, we're excited.
We're excited because Sunny's gonna be a big day.
Um, I want to give some context to uh Elon Musk and uh these young software uh engineers.
Uh I'm a CPA auditor.
Uh we employ these techniques that they're using to analyze data.
It's called data analytics, data mining.
Uh 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, uh, 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 gonna 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 it speaks volumes, but regardless, and I'm not I'm not dissing the people at NASA, but there's no excuse.
They're 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 in North Carolina.
I am I am grateful that he's helped the people in California.
I am grateful that he's given Americans uh choices in 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, uh, Superbowl Sunday weekend, as we continue.
The final hour of the Sean Hannity Show is up next.
Hang on for Sean's conservative solutions.
Music.
Let's get back to our busy phones.
800-941 Sean is on number.
Uh, 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, I'm geez, that was a heavy lift.
Hey, I thank you for taking my call.
It's a very simple idea.
In the military, uh communication was one of the most important things we had.
We'd have three formations a day.
Put out the what what the inform uh information first aren't wanted out today, what uniform to wear, all that.
So nobody nobody won't ran around not knowing what was going on, and it dispelled a lot of myths and rumors.
In your opinion, can 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 the mainstream channels, once every two weeks.
Here's what we've done.
Here's the here's what's really happening, here's what we're doing for this country and for you, and let them see it.
It'll get bigger and bigger as he goes.
I don't know.
What do you think?
Um, look, I think the president, he's been he's been talking to the media every day.
Um I I I've I do comprehensive interviews with him.
I'll be doing them fairly regularly with him, and others will as well.
And there's gonna be no shortage of of time that Donald Trump will be before the American people.
And and 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 I love the transparency that he's bringing to government.
I love, you know, I I think Americans, if you pay taxes, and the average American makes sixty-six grand a year, and you see hundreds of billions of dollars wasted on money abroad for woke programs,
Green New Deal programs, DEI programs, chan 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 and I look at that and I it makes my blood boil that they would squander and steal our money and our children's money and our grandchildren's money.
Um anyway, you've been very patient, Jim.
We do appreciate you being there.
Uh, 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, uh, 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.
Um, but we'll talk more about that later.
You might think that using your gun in self-defense, if 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 make 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 U.S. CCA 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 uh 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 you know 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 8722.
All right, text Hannity to 87222.
