>> sean: welcome to "hannity". tonight we are at the end of another huge day for the incoming trump administration. the brand-new department of government efficiency is in full gear with elon musk and vivek ramaswamy leading the way, coming up, he will be here for an exclusive interview. also house speaker mike johnson will be here after a big endorsement from president trump and unanimous support from house republicans who just renominated him as a speaker. we will also show you the president-elect's triumphant return to the white house. but first, more huge nominations are now rocking the washington swamp. breaking only moments ago, we learn that florida senator marco rubio has officially been picked for secretary of state. meanwhile former democratic congresswoman turned republican tulsi gabbard was nominated as the director of national intelligence. the third pick of the day is causing a bit of, let's call it

collective radical left-wing meltdown among elites in washington. on truth social, president trump announced that florida congressman matt gaetz has been tapped to serve as the next u.s. attorney general. the head of the doj. matt gaetz is a lawyer, four term congressman, longtime ally of donald trump who aggressively helped expose political weaponization at the doj of harrison biden so naturally the pearl clutching breathless hysteria on the left has been nonstop. it's gotten bad. take a look. >> i've gotten two different texts from different people at the justice department who used to the insane to respond and react to this potential appointment. >> heads are exploding at the justice department because this goes against the kind of candidate, republican or democrat, that the doj seas as an appropriate candidate.

>> this is making everyone's head explode as we are watching it unfold in realtime and i'm sure we will have more opinions on that. >> matt gaetz has no experience that would lend itself towards running the department of justice. everything that's involved there. >> president trump is going to hit the justice department with the blowtorch and matt gaetz is that torch. >> we are in george orwell 1984 land where they say black is white and we are supposed to believe it. >> sean: so merrick garland and obama's wingmen are fine and the guy who along with congressman jim jordan was fighting tooth-and-nail to stop law fair and so weaponization of the doj is being opposed by the very people that were either complicit or just downright silent. they are now outraged. my question to everyone tonight, where was the righteous indignation over obama's wingmen? the guy that vowed to, you know,

when they go low, you kick them. you might recall this, take a look. >> michelle obama, i love her, me and my wife are really tight, which scares me and obama. michelle always says that when they go low, we go high. no. when they go low, we kick them. [laughter] [applause] >> that's what this new democratic party is about. >> sean: obama ag wingmen. of course that's nothing compared to his actions in office. where was the outrage over -- remember the mexican gunrunning scheme that led to the murder of a u.s. border patrol agent? where was the hysteria over holder secret federal surveillance of reporters at the ap and the fox news channel?

that seams awfully relevant to the legacy media, right? did anyone in the state run media mob, did they ever speak out against the abuse, the weaponization of justice, against donald trump from 2016 on? what about the doj's witch hunt based on let's see russian disinformation that was bought and paid for by hillary clinton? that was the basis of those warrants. that dirty russian disinformation dossier, that was used as the bulk of information to secure four warrant applications to spy on candidate trump, his transition team, and president trump. did anyone at the state run legacy media mob ever condemn this ever? no, the opposite occurred. they peddled these lies and conspiracy theories for three years. by the way, no wonder they've had no impact in this last election cycle, no wonder americans do not and should not trust them.

did any democrat or legacy media people lose sleep over the documented widespread anti-trump bias at the doj, the fbi? where was the moral panic over this game to debunk the hunter biden laptop story? we had 51 former intel officials. never had to explain a thing. they never examined hunter's laptop. they never saw his laptop. they did not know a thing about hunter's laptop but they all in unison were proclaiming looks like russian disinformation only a few weeks before an election that according to polls had an impact on the outcome of the 2020 election. where they ever held accountable? no. to this day does anyone in the media mob care that it was antony blinken that organized the disinformation campaign of the 51 former intel officials? no. what about the unequal system of justice? wasn't mar-a-lago rated over the

issue of top-secret classified documents? but didn't joe biden and hillary clinton, didn't they just get a little polite talking to after having tropes of top-secret classified documents, in joe's case in four separate locations? why weren't their homes rated? does not seem like equal justice under the law? how come hillary clinton can destroy 33,000 subpoenaed emails. we've never heard of it before, and then destroy devices with hammers and remove sim cards and nobody in the democratic party, not one person, nobody in the legacy media mob, they never cared at all. they hit it. they defended it. anyone on the left concerned that a former president, current presidential candidate got hit with 30 fort stock fell in a charges based on this ridiculous novel legal theory after the statute of limitations were long

past, brought by a left-wing attorney general who campaigned on getting donald trump? did they ever speak out about that? what about catholics and angry parents that show up at school board meetings, that were labeled extremists and terrorists or potential terrorists we why were peaceful pro-life protesters, why were they targeted over the past decade we have witnessed spying, censorship, law fair, corruption, intimidation, extreme political bias all from the harris-biden doj and of course you got the whole muller investigation, three long years, russia, russia, russia, the state run media mob only worried about matt gaetz. this is selective moral outrage and frankly it's ridiculous. for years the doj and the fbi and the washington field office have been totally completely out of control. we've been chronicling this regularly. they've had a get trump by any means necessary mentality and

the american people, eight days ago you saw through all of it. you did not listen to the media, the celebrity endorsements, the people putting on the concerts for kamala harris because they have no impact. they have so overreached so often people are sick of it and now they have completely lost to the trust more than half of the country. now change is coming to washington. change that was promised. despite his time in congress, matt gaetz is not a washington insider, nobody would call him that. he's not well-liked by the city swamp creatures. that might be a plus in my book. but does he have an unyielding fearless ability to disrupt the status quo? this is exactly why he became donald trump's pick for attorney general. again, this is not business as usual. after last week's election, donald trump has a mandate to reform what i call these once great institutions, to end once

and for all the weaponization of justice in america, to restore principles that i and so many of you hold near and dear to your heart. equal justice under the law, equal application of our laws. flush out the political bias at the doj, the fbi, and their intelligence community, restore these departments, these agencies to their original missions. not political, and their former greatness. the fbi used to be, formally one of the greatest law enforcement agencies on earth. our intelligence community, the greatest on earth. we have to get them back to where they were. as conservatives, we deeply believe in these principles. what has been done to donald trump over nine years, and to republicans, can and should never ever ever happen to any american, democrat or

republican, ever again. in other words, republicans, they must pledge to never do to democrats what was done to them and what was done to donald trump and what was done to trump allies. today after years of law fair and two attempts on his life and nonstop media outrage and comparisons to stall in and most illini, donald trump returned to the white house for a meeting with joe biden in what could be a sign of things to come. the meeting apparently went very well. joe biden was all smiles as the 45th, 46 and 47th president exchange to kind. take a look. >> mr. president, former president, congratulations. look forward to having a smooth transition. to everything we can to make sure you are accommodated, have what you need. we will get you into talk about some of that today.

welcome. >> thank you, i appreciate that, thank you very much. politics is tough. in many cases it's not a very nice world but it is a nice world today and i appreciate it very much. a transition that is so smooth, it will be as smooth as it can get. i very much appreciate that. >> you are welcome. thank you all. >> sean: president trump told "the new york post" that biden was very gracious, that it was very enjoyable, the meeting, and based on white house pictures, joe and jill biden seemed very happy to see donald trump. the first lady even reportedly handed trump a handwritten letter for his wife, welcoming her back to the white house. keep in mind, is this week the pipes were kind of different windchill and kamala were seeded next to each other out veterans day event as you can see there. make no mistake, it is a new era in the washington swamp and it appears, and i hope it's true, that trump will have a new ally

in the u.s. senate, the newly minted majority leader, he is pledging to work to get the president's agenda through. time will tell. here's what he said. >> it's a new day in the united states senate and in america. the american people have loudly rejected the failed policies of the biden harris schumer agenda. this republican team is united. we are on one team, we are excited to reclaim the majority and get to work with our colleagues in the house to enact president trump's agenda. we have a mandate from the american people. a mandate not only to clean up the mess left eye the biden-harris schumer agenda but also to deliver on president trump's priorities. >> sean: time a short, there's a lot of work to be done but now is the time for republicans to work together and get donald trump's agenda across the finish line. joining us now with more is lara trump. great to have you back.

let us talk about all that your family has been through and the silence not only of democrats but the legacy media. which for nine plus years has been after your family. in the end, all they all the reporting, all the hysteria, all the screaming and yelling and ranting and raving and proclamations of whatever about your father-in-law, they were meaningless, it had no impact on the american people. what does that say to you? >> will the american people don't buy it. you had the proof of donald trump for four years in the white house previously. that's why the american people overwhelmingly came out on november fifth and voted for donald trump and his america first policies. it's incredible to see how people are so upset about, you know, the matt gaetz pick and they are very worried i think about some sort of revenge or retribution by donald trump. but let's be very clear, donald trump said my revenge

will be success. success will bring us together and unify us. take a look at that meeting he had with joe biden today by the way. could not have been nicer, could not have been friendlier. joe biden was all smiles. use all the way that those two men got along. donald trump was very professional in that meeting. no one understands more so how broken some of these systems are and how they need to be restored and the faith that we as the american people have need to be restored in these systems more so than donald trump. they were all weaponized against him. he doesn't want retribution, he wants success for america and the american people. he wants energy dominance, he wants us to regain our standing on the world stage, he wants to make communities safer and make life better for the american people and he knows that the best way to get his revenge is the way that he has always done it, it's proving his critics wrong. every single time they say donald trump can't do it, he can't get the job done, guess

what, he always comes through for the american people. i think we are poised as he says to see the golden age of america and it will be thanks to donald trump. >> sean: your husband was quoted in the daily mail as saying that his father has no interest in retribution and even said that he would likely strongly consider pardoning hunter biden as a sign of goodwill. now we have this issue involving matt gaetz. i have to believe matt gaetz has been fighting against weaponization, will make a strong statement against it with a promise never to do it. your reaction? >> yeah, i think that's exactly right. i think that we want to get back to an america where we look at each other not as democrats or republicans but as americans. that is what donald trump has been fighting for. whether you voted for him or not, he's vote -- fighting for you, for your life to be better and for the america first policies. things like closing our border and keeping our streets safer,

giving respect back to our law enforcement officers. these are things that will be a positive impact on people's lives. i think if it isn't already done, by the time january 20th rules around, you may see donald trump pardon hunter biden because we should put all of this in the past. we should start focusing on doing affective things for the american people. with people like elon musk and vivek ramaswamy that you heard about today. that is going to actually impact people's lives. you should never see any of these systems weaponized against an american citizen like what has happened to donald trump multiple times. no one understands this better than he does and no one wants to see it brought to an end more than donald trump. >> sean: "the new york post", with the appointment of sen senator marco rubio to be the next secretary of state is saying that you apparently are a top choice of governor ron desantis to replace marco rubio.

have you had any conversations with the governor and more importantly would you be interested in being i guess my senator? marco is leaving me. would you consider, would you throw your hat in the ring? would you want that job on the heels of the great job you did at the rnc? >> well thank you, yeah. >> sean: i think we -- just one i wanted the answer. is there any chance we can get her back? i think america would like to hear that answer. if we can, we will get her right back up. we will get an answer to the question. you can't make that up. anyway here with reaction is senator lindsey graham, the great state of south carolina. you can't make that up. just when i'm about to get the answer. >> yeah. see, the chinese are somebody in

florida who wants this job, i don't know. >> sean: one way or the other and getting that answer. i will have her call in if i have to. [simultaneous talking] >> i would be over-the-top excited. she busted her -- there was no cheating, she raised a ton of money. nobody understands the america first agenda better. she's a great mother, a very sharp young lady. i would love to have her as a colleague. that would be up to governor desantis, but we could not do better on the republican side then lara trump. >> sean: i tend to agree with you. i hope you heard my opening monolog. i mean what i say. >> i did. >> sean: after all that donald trump has been through and the weaponization of our doj, and it's so sad to me that

great agencies like the fbi and the cia have been so politicized the way they have been. anybody that is not in favor of restoring those agencies and those -- to their former greatness, and those departments to their former greatness to me would be disqualifying. let's get to the issue. that is the hysteria on the left about matt gaetz. matt has been in the forefront with jim jordan of fighting against weaponization. does he not deserve a chance to be heard? >> welt not only does he deserve a chance to be heard, every president deserves a chance to pick their cabinet. elections do matter. when i say elections have consequences, and i vote for democratic nominees that i would not have chosen, i am some kind of great statesmen. when i apply that same standard to a republican president, i'm

somehow a lackey. i'm telling you exactly what i'm going to do. i did it for bush, for obama, for biden, and i will do it for president trump. he won the election, he deserves a chance to pick his cabinet. i am predisposed to allow him to do that. i think matt gaetz is very bright. i think he's qualified. he will have a hearing and he will have some tough questions to answer. but to every republican, please follow process to give president trump the ability to pick the people he thinks can do the job and give matt a chance. >> sean: you have a history of that. >> i do it for everybody. >> sean: and in fairness to you, you are being consistent and i wish democrats would be as consistent as you are. >> they are going to be. >> sean: stay right there, don't go anywhere because we have lara trump back so hopefully -- >> and the answer is...

>> sean: and the answer is... you got a ringing endorsement when you fell off the air. here we go. >> well listen, i was truly so honored to be the cochair of the rnc threw really the most historic election i think of any of our lifetimes. i was really honored to do it and proud of our team because we accomplished everything we set out to do. we wanted to make sure we got out our voters, we wanted to make sure people voted early, that we had a world-class election integrity team and that we gave the voters the confidence to come out and vote knowing it would matter and would count and there would be no funny business. obviously we broke records of fundraising and all of the things so everything we set out to do we did. to be able to serve in this role has really been the honorable lifetime. likewise if i am able to serve i would love to serve the people of florida. this is my home state now and has been for three years. this is where we live.

truly to have that opportunity i think would be incredible. no one knows better than i do the america first agenda or the goals of donald trump in the coming four years so if i am asked, i would love to consider it but i have yet to have a conversation with governor desantis so we will have to see. >> sean: and both of you agree that any nominee of any president, they should be able to choose the cabinet officials that they want to accomplish the promises they ran on and that they have to fulfill if they want to get reelected or in the case of donald trump, to have a legacy. you both agree on that, regardless of who it is, and you have done that your entire career. >> i would just say number 1, i hope that governor desantis, it's his job to pick but you really could not do better than lara trump. she has proven herself in the trenches, she's ready to go on day one. i say elections have

consequences when republicans don't like it. i'm telling my democratic friends, elections have consequences whether you like it or not. you are accusing matt of doing the very thing that you did. matt gaetz did not lie under oath, matt gaetz did not sign warrants that were based on russian disinformation, so we are going to give the president a chance to put his people forward. to every republican, give matt a chance. >> sean: and you agree with that laura, real quick? >> i think it's the will of the people. they voted with 312 electoral votes in the popular vote to put donald trump back in the white house. he needs a great team behind them to do it and that is the will of the people, we should absolutely give him a chance. >> sean: it's going to be interesting. i'm really going to have to be nice to you now if you become my senator, i don't know. [laughter] >> sean: appreciate it. the timing could not have been worse but i'm glad we got you back. >> makes me wonder. >> sean: welcome to live television, everybody.

anyway, glad it worked out. thank you both. when we come back, house republicans have unanimously nominated mike johnson to continue to serve as the speaker and he will join us with reaction coming up straight ahead. ♪ ♪ and research on pain relief, my recommendation is simple: every home should have salonpas. powerful yet non-addictive. targeted and long-lasting. i recommend salonpas. it's good medicine. ♪ hisamitsu ♪ (dr. david jeremiah) our world is not getting better. in our hearts we know that. and the bible says, "we groan for the coming of this new world." i'm not talking about heaven. i'm talking about a better world on planet earth. this is a world tainted with the sin of mankind, but there's a coming world when there'll be no more crime, when there'll be no more poverty, when there'll be no sickness, when death will happen only very seldom. one of these days, when jesus comes back, and the tribulation is over, christ will set up his kingdom on this earth.

70-80% chance he would lose the majority. that did not happen. you have a majority, albeit a small majority but a bigger problem is that you will fairly soon be losing -- you already lost matt gaetz because he resigned today but how do you handle that so that at no point does control of the house get into the hands of the democrats? >> yeah, it's a great problem to have. we have an embarrassment of riches. lots of talented people who are very attuned to the america first agenda and they can serve the country well in other capacities. but i've told president trump, enough already, give me some relief. i have to maintain this majority. he understands it, we've been talking hourly almost every day. i think we will be settled. the numbers who projected i think will be the reality and we will have the majority. i think these seeds, mats for

example,'s resignation today was to help us because it starts the clock. under florida state law it's about an eight week process to fill the seat so if we do this quickly, and i've already called governor desantis to ask them to kick-start there's thing, we could have the seat filled by january third when the new congress begins. that would be one seat replaced almost immediately. >> sean: what a be beneficial -- >> deep red district. >> sean: would it be beneficial if florida did the same thing? >> i'm going to talk about it with him tonight. the timing matters. we need to stagger these things. he's going to fill a very important position for the president in the country and we don't want to delay that and he doesn't have to be appointed by the senate, his position. we will be able to figure that out. i know governor desantis will be very busy working on all of these matters and the one you discussed in the previous segment, filling the senate seats. he will be an active participant and we will get this done. we are assured to have

republicans reelected and we will work with the smaller majority for the amount of time we have to but we are going to be very aggressive. we are going to move the america first agenda for the american people beginning on day one and we have all this work stacked up and we are ready to go. >> sean: let's talk a little bit about new york. how does the process work there? >> a similar situation under new york state law. the governor there can't play games with this. it's about an 80 day process roughly. elise stefanovic comes from a red state. county chairs are putting together their nominee. president trump has committed he will go up into our rally. we will get this job done. but she will do an extraordinary job as the ambassador. she's harvard educated, really smart, very sharp and

unflappable and she will advance america's agenda at the u.n. again. that's a really important position so i'm delighted she got it. >> sean: it almost sounds like it would be better if she were to resign sooner than later also. let me ask, tell us first about the meeting with president trump today, where he endorsed you, and have you had any conversation with the new senate majority leader john thune who outwardly was very supportive of the trump agenda, and do you believe that the house, the senate and the president are all going to be on the same page, because in my mind you have between 18 months and 24 months to get a lot of this agenda through. >> you are exactly right. the atmosphere on the hill is one of euphoria. the republican party is united and energized like i've never seen it. we had a great time with president trump this morning. he came and visited with the house republican conference and gave her ringing endorsement of me and our leadership team and

that's very helpful. the unity aspect of this is very important because we have to work together. i did call leader thune to congratulate him on his victory. we talked for a short period of time about the agenda going forward and how we have to do this. we need the house republicans and senate republicans to be in lockstep, and we will be. he's excited about that and committed to the america first agenda. we laughed about how our home cities and counties, his county, my parish, voted overwhelmingly for president trump in a landslide. our people and all the american people really desperately want and need and deserve this and we are going to deliver. >> sean: i'm encouraged by his words and everyone else's but i am a trust but verify guy and i want to see that agenda adopted and adopted as quickly as possible. speaker johnson, thank you, we appreciate it. when we come back, donald trump tapping elon musk, vivek ramaswamy to lead the department

♪ ♪ >> sean: president-elect trump continues to make key appointments for his next administration. yesterday he announced that vivek ramaswamy and elon musk would lead the new department of government efficiency. earlier today vivek ramaswamy took to twitter saying in part, if we are ever going to crush the bureaucracy, it's going to happen from the outside. just the hard truth. today the departments x account was launched with a tweet saying, working overtime to ensure that your tax dollars will be spent wisely. the back ramaswamy joins us now. so you are partnering with the

smartest guy in the country, no doubt about it. and the richest guy. but you look at elon musk and he's a genius. if you can figure out a way to go save those astronauts that are lost in space, bless you, i could never figure that out and 500 lifetimes. so i admire that. he's talking about $2 billion in cuts by identifying waste, fraud and abuse. is that a realistic number? that's a big number. >> 2 billion is not a big number but 2 trillion is. >> sean: 2 trillion, i stand corrected. >> i want to be clear about the scale that we are thinking. we are not thinking small, we are playing big. we have a once in a generation mandate right now. the american people have voted for drastic reform of the government and our federal government is broken. it's no secret it's a fourth branch of government, makes most of the rules, rates federal bureaucracy that's hampering our economy. so we want to go in and slash

and burn the bureaucracy to help americans, stimulate the economy and restore self-governance. the people we elect to run the government, they are not even the ones who run the government anymore, it's these unelected bureaucrats. republican politicians have talked about fixing this for a long time. not with a lot of progress. i think it will take a couple of outsiders. musk and i have build a great friendship, we are working together intensely and we won't stop until we get the job done. >> sean: when ronald reagan became president, on the issue of defense he called it a gap of a vulnerability. china, russia, they have hypersonic missile technology, we do not. we are going to have to spend a lot of money on defense to catch up and to surpass our enemies. social security, medicare are headed towards insolvency. we will have to spend money there. to me, that money is going to be made up their energy dominance. that is where i think our greatest opportunity is. your thoughts?

>> look, part of what's holding back energy dominance in this country is that administrative state. look at the regulations out of the department of the interior, the slow permitting requirements, how hard it is to open a new refinery. i think that is the root cause of our failure as a country, this unelected fourth branch of government. i think if you look at elected officials as these cute little puppets that come and go every while, not anymore. there's a new sheriff in town, donald trump is the president. he's mandated us for radical drastic reform of the federal bureaucracy with the learnings of that first term. elon is solving major problems of physics. i came from the world of biology. what we are solving is not a natural problem. this is a man-made problem and when you have a man-made problem you better have a man-made solution. that's what we are bringing to the table. we are assembling the brightest minds in the country. this is the equivalent of a modern manhattan project. i think the major problem holding our country back is a federal bureaucracy. target that cost, save the

money, resource self-governance. i think we did something pretty novel if i may say so. this department of government efficiency is built with an end date. we want to be done by july fourth, 2026. for the first time in history, creating a department, a new government project that is designed to end when it's work is complete. on the 250th anniversary of americans -- america's declaration of independence and that's the gift we want to give this country on that birthday. >> sean: i hope congress adopts your recommendations. they did not do so in the reagan years. under the the first things he will look at? >> we have a long list. a lot of this is to stay tuned for what's coming on generate 20th. some of his we want to come in a big way swinging on day one but some examples, most federal employees, most americans don't recognize this, they don't even show up to work. if you tell people you have to affirm you want a job, that you have to show up five days a week, how many employees are

gonna quit right out the gates? those are the kinds of efficiencies, low-hanging fruit that democrats and republicans were black-and-white americans alike can agree on. we should not be wasting that kind of money is a federal government. in that sense, tackling this kind of waste, fraud, abuse, bureaucratic bloat, we are going for the stuff that's basic common sense that most americans actually agree on and i hope we will be able to help unite the country by eliminating waste which is something that all americans regardless of partisan affiliation can get behind. that's what we are thinking about it. >> sean: less than a minute but i think part of it has to be baseline budgeting, eliminate the built-in increases every year that we have for every department. i think getting rid of the department of education, giving that money directly to states, or maybe adopting something like the penny plan, maybe it's the nickel plan, where you can't, you know, a nickel out of every dollar every year for five years, you balance the budget which has not been done since newt gingrich was the speaker of the house. about 30 seconds.

>> funny enough, much of our spending is even for programs whose authorization has lapsed. the authorization to spend the money, the appropriation has lapsed and yet still the money goes out the door. that is how broken the bureaucracy is. i think it will take a couple of business guys to come in, to this from the outside, we will have fun while we are at it. it will be the most transparent effort. we are aiming to make it a transparent process so the american people can see how their money is being wasted so we are all in it on the same team to fix it. i can't wait for donald trump to get back in the white house on generate 20th. he's given us a broad mandate with his full support to get this done. i'm grateful to him for that and elon and i are excited to get started. we will see. we have a few surprises in store for january. >> sean: appreciate it, vivek ramaswamy, looking forward to your final result. when we come back, liberal resistance is forming against donald trump as he now readies for his second term. we will check in with the

♪ ♪ >> sean: the left meltdown continues after donald trump's win. some liberal women are going to really radical extremes, participating in the 4b movement which consists of no sex, no dating men, no marriage or having children. some even talking about divorcing their husbands, shaving their heads and the list goes on. here with reaction, the host of keeping it real with jillian

michaels, jillian michaels is with us. this is madness. what good does it do to stockpile abortion pills when there will still -- when they will still be available, what's the purpose of shaving your head, saying you will never have sex, you will divorce your husband? help me out here, what's going on? >> okay. i actually do want to address this from maybe a slightly different perspective than you would expect. obviously i think this is radical, obviously i don't think this will accomplish anything other than creating relationship problems between couples. however, as fringe as you think this may be, i still have friends in california who are overhearing their wives having these conversations with their friends on the phone. what i've taken away from this personally, and i admit that i believe in being pro-choice, with limitations.

that said, president trump has said that he will not approve any abortion ban, he will veto it. he's giving it to the states and i'm taking him at his word. but the one thing that i do want you to appreciate is that when you look at reputable news sources, in theory, like "the new york times" or msnbc, they are fearmongering beyond your wildest imagination and literally writing out a game plan for how this could potentially be executed. when you read it in these sources, to the degree that they are laying it out, it seems believable, does that make any sense? >> sean: who makes a lot of sense but they are flat out lying. they lied to seniors, he's going to take away social security and medicare. no he's not. lying to women, he's going to limit access to contraceptives, stop ivf, have a national abortion ban. no he's not. he supports project 2025. no, he doesn't.

they just lie to them and i guess people believe the lie. and he's a fascist and we are all pieces of garbage. >> i totally agree with you on the lying and the fear. you are 100% correct, but you also have to understand that overturning roe v wade, i'm telling you what's going on because you asked me. women having limited access and it being a state-by-state issue, and from what i've learned on this matter, the more you limit early access, the more you put women in a position of having health risks, having to go out of state. it begets later term abortions which is something i don't think anybody wants. so they look at this and they think what was unthinkable occurred and now you have all of these people telling them that he's a fascist and a monster, and they believe it. what i think we need to do -- >> sean: but look and ohio.

>> i know. >> sean: but look at ohio. very liberal abortion law. the people voted for that. but on the other hand, do we really want abortion in months seven, eight and nine when the baby is viable on it's own? do we want adults, teachers giving gender-affirming care to minors and not telling parents? do we really want feminine hygiene products and boys bathrooms in schools? do we really want biological men playing in women's sports great because i don't think most americans are there and i think it hurt the left in this election big time. >> i could not agree with you more. it's the reason that i voted for president trump. and i do agree that the left has gone completely bananas. but what we have to do in my opinion to help calm them down, because as much as i wanted tell you they are insane, they are crazy, i don't think it gets us anywhere. i feel like we need to say

listen, you hear you, i hear your concern, but these are the reasons i don't believe that will ever happen. and should this wild fantasy occur, that the left-wing media is propagating, we will have your back and we will fight back and in four years there will be another election. so yes, it's unhinged, i agree with you. it's just a matter in my opinion of how we tackle these concerns and unfortunately i think there is some validity based on the fact of overturning row be weighed. >> sean: if anybody that is a conservative calls retribution a weaponization of justice i will be outspoken. it was conservatives like me that when politically incorrect got canceled. belmar eights me. joy reid was in a lot of trouble and i said give her a second chance, i'm not part of cancel culture. we have 30 seconds. we will have a big announcement together soon.

how's that for a tease? >> that is an amazing tease. my answer is that i think a lot of us are actually on the same page. i think the strategy is validate feelings but reassure people and bring them back to sanity and back to the center. i think that is the best strategy. >> sean: we cannot have weaponization against republicans anymore or democrats. jillian michaels, we appreciate you coming on, thank you. when we come back, more "hannity" straight ahead. ♪ ♪
