Welcome back to the Friday edition of Hannity and we are back now with more my interview with former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Now I asked for her thoughts on the house budget chairman Paul Ryan's plan to save Medicare and much more.

Take -- look.

Want to get your thoughts on Ryan's plan.

I have great respect for -- Brian producing what it is that he produced to save.

Medicare it is the Republicans who want to save that safety net -- esteemed elders.

And we can not let the mainstream media manipulate this issue and dictate really.

What to what did they want people to believe this -- Medicare reform program in order to save that of -- Ryan says.

Now I heard Pelosi say -- outright -- -- -- and well the Republicans you know they wanna do away with Medicare as we know it.

No it's the Democrats are -- who are going to do away with Medicare as we know it.

They're going to does all of Medicare because we're going to be eBay -- there will be nothing for recipients to -- -- we will have no money so what -- right in wants to do is rare for a minute.

Change some of the rules and allow that safety net to continue it's an outright ally of Nancy Pelosi for her to be telling the American public that it's the Republicans.

Who want to leave seniors out there on their own trying to figure out health care -- themselves.

And it's it's the media to complicit.

In -- what it is that Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats are trying to convince people.

He is behind this Medicare reform that we need people.

It seems that that's the democratic talking point -- back to -- -- scare scaring old people that's -- -- so upset with the whole Anthony -- issue this week.

Because it it took away precious days for -- that -- scare seniors.

On an issue the president the president himself to this -- governor.

The president said that children with autism Down's syndrome and old people with Pope will be would have to fend for themselves.

That's not true because the person that cut Medicare by 500 billion dollars was President Obama.

To institute -- -- Obama care and how Republicans.

I'm an idiot back to this third party should -- about how to Republicans fight back against the lies distortions.

Demagoguery.

Misinformation.

What advice -- -- -- candidate had -- -- -- this.

Which effectively has worked in the past.

We tell the truth.

And the truth is that President Obama is lying he's not just missed the eighty and he's not just misconstrue -- some.

Fax or some data and information know he's lying when -- says.

That those -- Down's syndrome those with hot his and those who need that safety net will be left on their own if the Republicans have their way that is not true.

We really need it is so short Sean.

We have got to turn things around very very quickly.

So when we face an issue that we're facing today -- in the eyes are coming out of the Democrat party and coming from the media trying to make it sound like.

The GOP wants to dismantle.

Medicare when it is that President Obama -- cut.

The 500 from the Medicare program.

We have got to column on this we've got a hold him accountable time is short we -- we don't have the time we don't have the resource is to waste and for around being anything but candid with the American people yet.

Let me go back to the issue of this third party.

For just a second here he said a year ago.

You would've said no way don't do it to Donald Trump.

But we seem to be saying that you wouldn't say that today.

And that the Republicans by not being more pro -- standing a little stronger on the principles.

Of maybe creating the environment to that for this to happen.

If Donald Trump was running third party would you consider supporting him.

You know again I still want to have that I hope in the GOP that they're going to stand strong and that there will be that that very accurate.

Aggressive.

Attempt and success.

In letting Americans know that we can do better -- we don't have to settle for the Obama Reid and still Pelosi agenda this part of Washington.

I still have faith in the Republican Party that we can get this together what I mean time by and -- conditions changing.

Over the year has -- a result of that mid term election and steamed at -- Tea Party movement independent Americans.

I'm bringing in new people there to represent us in congress.

And yet still not seen that that that transitional change that needs to take place in Washington as a result of new people coming -- that's -- a disappointment.

I still have hope -- hope that we can turn things around and we can get it together so with third party would be necessary.

-- governor Whitman I last spoke to you about whether or not you're considering a run for the presidency your answer to me was you wanna see how this field unfolds.

If -- a late day.

The person of the people may be at the top -- list.

They don't really have the values that you had if you don't think they're capable would you ever consider running third party in this election cycle.

He I don't foresee that right now and I do you see people in the field today eight and those who are potential candidates still all of -- contemplating whether to -- or not.

Ice -- shared value that we all have when it comes to doing the right things to get the economy back on the right track -- But what I would fear is -- Some of these and candidates especially in a good position to progress through a primary in NATO bombing in the general.

I fear that they're not gonna be aggressive enough fit that they're not going to -- All on the line and being perfectly honest with the public and let the public know.

Our country's going broke we can't keep going down the road that would that we're going on I fear a little bit there's going to be some political correctness and some hesitancy and some.

Attempt to not offend anybody so less of the -- -- that we're going to need.

-- shared values in the candidates are running and an aid for their when the Republican nomination.

But I do fear that some of these folks are gonna think that they need -- kind of played a little bit safe and and that's not what this country needs today we need.

-- fundamental restoration of what's good about America and that's gonna take.

An aggressive fight a fight against the Democrat party that wants to take over the private sector.

So we need to make sure that it's not just value shared.

But it's gonna be some some pragmatic things that have to take -- and -- some some practical aspects of a campaign that have to be considered.

We're gonna need a fighter in there.

And coming -- much more.
