Summary

We’re just hours away from the New Year, and while Americans prepare to celebrate, law enforcement is preparing to protect them. Former FBI Special Agent John Iannarelli joins us to discuss how authorities are preparing for tonight’s events—and the importance of public vigilance, preventive law enforcement tactics, and enhanced security technology in keeping people safe. Then, we revisit one of our most impactful interviews from the past year, when former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant joined Lisa Brady to discuss the “Mississippi Miracle," how The Magnolia State turned their schools around and how their plan could be a blueprint for improving students’ test scores nationwide. Plus, commentary by Jimmy Failla, FOX News Saturday Night host and FOX Across America host on FOX News Radio Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
