SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Who is Mike Johnson, the new speaker of the House? I'm going to let Mike Johnson introduce himself to you. He gave a really interesting speech. I thought it was smart. The guy's a constitutional lawyer. His dad was a fireman that I think became assistant chief. He believes in religious liberty, the right to life, is a very conservative voting record.

Everybody in the Freedom Caucus that I thought -- they all voted for him today. And they all know him, like him. He's taken on very hard, difficult fights over the years. So I'm hearing nothing but good things.

I just don't have that relationship with him that I've had with other people. Yeah, I still would've liked Jim Jordan, but Hannity never gets his way. Nobody listens to Hannity and Hannity never gets his way in life.
