	Day number 54.
	Day 54 Americans, their families, green card holders, their families, Afghan allies, their families abandoned by Joe Biden behind enemy lines, something we never thought we'd see in our lifetime.
	Joe hasn't mentioned it in what, 36 days or so now.
	Unbelievable.
	A lot to get to in the course of the program today.
	Senator Ted Cruz of Texas and Senator Lindsey Graham will be on together as it relates to, and I don't know why this happened.
	I really, it makes no sense at all, whatsoever.
	So Republicans, before yesterday, were all united.
	Republicans had been telling Democrats all summer long, you want to raise the debt ceiling.
	You know, you know when the debt ceiling is coming due, you raise it.
	Republicans have been totally isolated, pushed away from any of the negotiations as it relates to budgetary matters and the Democrats just you know going it alone, want to ram their new Green Deal radical socialism right down the throats of this country and destroy the greatest economic system ever designed by man,
	the greatest wealth-creating system ever designed by man and give us record tax increases, record spending, and no Republican that says they're a Republican that believes in any way in limited government should be a party to assisting in any capacity on all of this.
	We already had every Republican agreeing until yesterday.
	And Mitch McConnell, seemingly out of nowhere.
	He just caves and comes out with a statement that he's he's trying to make an agreement with Chuck Schumer to extend the debt ceiling.
	Now, Democrats can do this all on their own.
	They're doing their new Green Deal socialism on their own.
	They can raise the debt ceiling on their own.
	Well, this is to pay for our debts and our obligations and the full faith and credit of the United States government, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
	It would take them three days, if the entire process of Republicans made a made them go through the entire process to use the reconciliation process to get this done.
	The reason they now they probably would do that, except the reason they can't do that is because they're too busy fighting amongst themselves.
	And you've got some senators like Cinema and Mansion saying 3.5 trillion is too much.
	You know, Mansion goes from one point from zero dollars to 1.5 trillion dollars to 2.2 trillion dollars back down to 1.5 trillion dollars.
	I'm not exactly sure where where Senator Cinema is.
	I mean, what you have is the most radical socialist, you know, basically communist Bernie Manifesto radicals with new green dealism, and they're just a little bit less radical than them.
	But there are no moderates within the Democratic ranks anymore.
	They don't exist.
	Joe Lieberman, I mean, it was the canary in the coal mine.
	He, you know, when they they kicked him out of their party in 2000, he was their vice presidential candidate.
	This is how radical it's gotten.
	Now, why is Mitch McConnell doing this?
	I don't have an answer.
	But for Mitch McConnell to accomplish this, he's gonna need nine other Republican senators on board to get it done.
	Now, if I had to guess, if I was doing my own whip vote whipping, or as they call it, whip the votes, minority whip, majority whip.
	Um, I would say that you probably have Mitt Romney.
	I would assume Lisa Murkowski.
	I would assume you probably have Susan Collins of Maine.
	Although Susan Collins actually had a pretty fairly decent idea.
	We'll help you raise the debt ceiling, but you got to give up on the 3.5 trillion.
	Why she would deviate from what was a good idea on her part, even though whether they go along with it or not, she shouldn't capitulate to the spending.
	And they're gonna tell you this is no, we have to pay our bills.
	This is about no, this this is designed so they can spend the 3.5 trillion that they will ramp through the reconciliation process if it's not 3.5 trillion, however, many trillions they're gonna spend, because they're gonna spend the money.
	They're that committed to this radicalism.
	So, okay, so we got three.
	Um, you know, maybe Portman is friends.
	I don't know where Roy Blount stands, I don't know where John Thune stands.
	I don't know where I know Lindsey Graham is against it.
	I know Ted Cruz is against it.
	Uh most senators I know, Republican senators, they're not going to go for this.
	And I have no idea what Ben Sass ever is going to do, but I would assume even he is going to be against this.
	That would be my guess.
	So I'm not sure where Mitch McConnell's going to get these other nine people.
	Now, as of two days ago, this was not a problem.
	Republicans, they were firm.
	They were standing strong.
	They were standing united.
	No, if you're you're keeping us out of any negotiations on the budget.
	You have both houses of Congress and you have the White House, and you have the ability to raise the debt ceiling all on your own.
	Okay, you're axing us out.
	Don't ask us to raise the debt ceiling to pay for big government radical socialism that you support that we don't support.
	You cannot call yourself a conservative.
	Forget it.
	You can't even call yourself a Republican and support raising the debt ceiling because you know where the money is going.
	And that's the point.
	Now, for my message to Mitch McConnell is clear.
	If you don't believe in limited government, if you don't believe in conservative principles, then get out of the way and let somebody that does believe in them lead the Republicans in the Senate.
	Because there's no there's no rationale behind you caving at the last minute like this.
	There's no there is nothing you can say to me to convince me that you had any real reason to do this other than to throw a lifeline to Chuck Schumer.
	Chuck Schumer was in a box.
	I mean, he had problems with Mansion, problems with cinema, they had problems in the House with the squad, and now you're just gonna buy them time so they can fix their problem.
	This is their problem.
	This is their madness, it's not your problem.
	And Republicans should stand strong on the principles they say they believe in.
	And this is where I run into problems over the years.
	My criticism of the Republican Party has been consistent.
	Republicans are often weak and feckless and spineless, and they buckle and they cave and they're visionless, and it's frustrating.
	Conservatism is a very, very, very simple ideology.
	It's not complicated.
	It can get complicated, you can get into the weeds, but what we believe is conservatives, and it's why I'm not a registered Republican.
	I believe in liberty, freedom, our constitution, I believe in capitalism.
	We believe in lower taxes, limited government, less bureaucracy, limited government.
	We believe in law and order.
	We believe in school choice.
	You have to have law and order so people can be safe and secure to pursue happiness.
	I believe in health care for all, free market solutions to health care.
	That would protect people with pre-existing conditions.
	That's very doable.
	Health care cooperatives is one answer.
	Healthcare savings accounts is another answer.
	We believe in constitutionalists on the bench.
	You know, again, these are very simple principles.
	We believe in law and order at our border.
	We believe in in secure borders.
	Donald Trump Trump achieved energy independence for the first time in 75 years.
	That's good for our national security, and that's good for our economic security.
	Just reading today.
	Gas prices up 50% since January.
	People in California paying over five bucks a gallon in many places.
	And it's only going to get worse.
	Price of energy now at an all time high.
	Inflation is through the roof.
	We believe in that our allies need to pay their fair share, like NATO.
	Donald Trump accomplished that.
	Free and fair trade deals.
	He did it with our Western European allies.
	He did it with Canada.
	Did it with Mexico?
	He did it with China.
	He did it with Japan.
	He did it all over the world.
	And then there's principle known as peace through strength.
	And that pretty much sums it up.
	It's not complicated.
	Now, if Mitch McConnell doesn't believe in these principles, then he really is not in the position to be the leader of the Republicans in the Senate.
	It's that simple.
	Now we'll have Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz on together in the top of the next hour.
	We'll ask them where they stand.
	I know they're both, you know, they're both shocked by this.
	I had Ted Cruz on last night.
	I talked to Lindsey Graham today, put out a strong statement before the TV show last night.
	It is a complete capitulation.
	Now you're asking me, okay, Hannity, we thought Republicans that they were united.
	Now they're not.
	What do we do?
	The only thing I can advise you to do is to call Mitch McConnell's office and call your own senator's office.
	And I I always urge people to be respectful.
	And the simple message is stop capitulating.
	You know, stop caving to the pressure.
	Well, the the Democrats, they may not, they may use the nuclear option.
	Well, you you cannot allow them to use that as a threat because then otherwise the threat works.
	If they're going to use it, make them use it.
	If they want to go and use the nuclear option, and Joe Manchin said even today he wouldn't do it.
	Then make the Democrats do it.
	Stand strong on the principles of fiscal responsibility, limited government, low taxes, more freedom, secure borders, energy independence, less bureaucracy, constitutionalists on the bench, free and fair trade, school choice, law and order, peace through strength.
	Just stick to the basics.
	Now, if you want to call Mitch McConnell's office, I'd be respectful, but I'd also call your senator's office.
	If you think your senator might be on the fence and might join Mitch McConnell in this great cave he's about to engage in, urge your senator not to do it.
	That's the only option I can give you today.
	Two days ago this was not a problem.
	Now it's a problem.
	It's a big problem.
	Anyway, the number's 202-224-3121.
	We'll put it up on Hannity.com.
	And we'll mention it a few times throughout the program today.
	I'll say it again.
	202-224-3121.
	Now if I'm counting votes, all right, Romney, Kowski, let's see.
	Call me out here, Linda.
	Susan Collins.
	I'm just assuming.
	Rob Portman, before.
	Who else might give in on this?
	I can't.
	I can't get to 10 in my head.
	Can't we just call them Rhinos number one, two, three, four?
	Do we have to call them by name?
	I mean, yeah.
	If you know that your senators are rhino, then call them.
	Yeah, call for Senator Rhino.
	Don't capitulate.
	How does Mint Romney based on the principles he ran on in 2012?
	How does he support this?
	How do you call yourself a conservative support this?
	No, he tried to say he was a conservative.
	And you know what?
	The saddest part is people like Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, the media mob, they're all writing the story.
	Mitch Caves.
	The headline on Drudge, Mitch Caves.
	And you know what, Mitch?
	You caved.
	In the final hour, your knees buckled.
	Just like Republicans, 65 votes to repeal and replace Obamacare.
	Then when they in 2017, when they had a Republican president ready to sign the bill, they didn't even have a plan.
	They weren't ready.
	Those were show votes.
	202, 224, 3121.
	Stand for fiscal responsibilities.
	Stop robbing our children, our Grandchildren and great grandchildren.
	Stop throwing a lifeline to people that hate you like Chuck Schumer.
	Schumer's mocking you.
	Democrats are mocking you.
	And if you don't have the ability to lead, get out of the way and let a real conservative lead in the Senate.
	800, 941 Sean is our number.
	Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz coming up.
	Music.
	I rolling along Sean Hannity show.
	There are a lot of Republicans that are unhappy with this.
	There was no issue here.
	Now, if you take out your calculator, the average, you know, you want to talk about the inflation, or you can call it the Biden inflation tax.
	Because it's a lot of money.
	And that is, all right, if you take a $175 times $12, what does that show up on your calculator?
	It's $2,100 a year.
	And that's what Biden's inflation is costing us.
	You know, that means extra for food, fuel, housing, etc., according to Mark Zandy, chief economist of Moody's.
	The government officials have said, well, inflation is uh transitory.
	It's running at a 30-year high.
	It has been now for months.
	The number of households that report it's very difficult to pay their usual expenses is up nearly 10% since early August to 26.5.
	Thank you, Joe.
	Price increases will continue until the middle of next year, predicted Gordon Hasick.
	Now, why now what do you think is going to happen with this new Green Deal madness?
	We're going to be paying more for energy.
	That's more inflation.
	Why did why is is Mitch McConnell caving and capitulating to Chuck Schumer and the radical socialist Democrats when we know this is the predictable result?
	Call your senator, call Mitch McConnell's office.
	2022 3121.
	There's no reason he needed to do this.
	None whatsoever.
	Straight ahead.
	All right, 25 to the top of the hour.
	800-941 Sean.
	You want to be a part of the program?
	We didn't have this problem two days ago until Mitch McConnell got cold feet.
	Republicans were united.
	They were not going to raise the debt ceiling.
	Democrats, they want to spend all these trillions.
	And to do it, they need to raise the debt ceiling.
	They have the power to do it.
	They can do it through the reconciliation process.
	We keep hearing, well, we might go to the nuclear option.
	What are you going to be held hostage to the nuclear threat option threat all the time?
	It's nuts.
	If you go shopping, $2,100 a year in inflation costs alone, that's a lot of money.
	It's only going to get worse.
	Biden inflation is now driven gas prices to a seven-year high.
	Meanwhile, he's only given waivers to build pipelines to Vladimir Putin.
	Unbelievable.
	What does he said about, you know, the geopolitical, you know, the those saber rattling of China over Taiwan?
	I wonder if the Biden's a compromised.
	Because if Donald Trump and his sons were making money, a billion five deal with the Bank of China, $100,000 shopping spree, and Donald Trump didn't do anything when China was being aggressive with Taiwan.
	People would say he's compromised.
	With zero experience, Hunter, $3.5 million from the Russian oligarch, former first lady of Moscow.
	Is he compromised?
	You know, same thing with Barisma, Ukraine, Kazakhstan.
	Look at how Libya, you know, he tried to, you know, work with the Libyans.
	I want a $2 million retainer.
	Good.
	It's unbelievable.
	Anyway, gas prices now.
	We're paying an average dollar fifty a gallon.
	California, you have uh the average price more than a is now over $4.42 in some counties over $5 a gallon.
	As pump prices skyrocket, what is Biden doing?
	Now that he gave up the energy independence he inherited from Trump, he's begging OPEC, and they're saying no.
	We're now going to head to what, a hundred dollars for a barrel of oil?
	Gas prices at an all-time high.
	Gen Saki says, well, Biden believes the crime climate crisis is more important than skyrocketing gas prices.
	Well, he doesn't have to fill the his gas tank.
	Plus Hunter gives him all that money, all the money that's set aside for the big guy.
	Bernie Sanderson.
	Anyway, on this issue, we we have an opportunity to stop this.
	Two days ago, this was not a problem.
	Mitch McConnell got cold feet.
	You cannot call yourself a conservative or even a Republican.
	I'm a conservative.
	They all were united.
	They weren't going to give in on the debt ceiling.
	Now, the Democrats could have done it all summer long.
	They waited.
	That's their problem now.
	They have all the power, all the control to raise the debt ceiling.
	They can do it through the reconciliation process.
	And if they want to keep threatening the nuclear option, dare them to do it.
	But don't involve yourself in this.
	We have Senator Mike Lee on the line.
	Senator, am I wrong two days ago?
	Wasn't it months now?
	Republicans were united.
	They were not going to help the Democrats on this.
	Yes, until about 24 hours ago.
	We've been united.
	We've been united for two solid months.
	Okay.
	What happened?
	It's been a long time since I've seen us that united on something this big for that much time.
	I don't know what happened, but yesterday there was a decision made.
	A decision made to the effect that Senators Manchin and Cinema were so likely to invoke the nuclear option to break the rules of the Senate.
	Joe Manchin said today he wouldn't do it.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	He said it today.
	He said it yesterday.
	He said specifically that he would not nuke the filibuster, even to raise the debt ceiling.
	He wouldn't do it.
	And yet this was the argument that we were presented with because they were supposedly going to do that and do that imminently.
	Okay.
	Now, help me.
	Tell me if I'm wrong on this.
	To make this happen, Mitch needs nine other Republican senators to go along with him.
	Is that correct?
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Let's assume Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins.
	You know, walk me through.
	Uh my understanding is Richard Burr's out of town.
	So that would be one less vote available.
	Walk me through the other six people that he might be appealing to.
	Is it John Cornyn?
	Is it John Thune?
	Is it Roy Blunt?
	I don't know who might be thinking of doing it.
	I'm always reluctant to name names when I I don't know which people are uh w would join him.
	What I'm trying to convince my colleagues of is that this is not right.
	This isn't a wise decision.
	This isn't a prudent decision.
	These guys want to continue spending ad infinitum.
	We're almost three trillion dollars in debt to the point where Americans are starting to feel the inflationary effects of this much money essentially just being printed.
	They don't even want or need our votes to spend three and a half trillion dollars, which is more like five trillion dollars on this reconciliation bill they want to pass.
	We should have nothing to do with giving them a blank check on on suspending the debt ceiling so they can do whatever the heck they want.
	And they can all of this can they can do on their own.
	Am I correct?
	They can do all of this on their own.
	They just have to follow the right set of procedures.
	They have to follow the reconciliation process under the budget act of nineteen.
	But the reason they can't do it, and they needed the lifeline from Mitch is because they're in disarray and there's there's this, you know, battle within democratic ranks.
	That's their problem.
	Yes, that is in fact their problem.
	And I'll tell you what, it's not our problem.
	It's not our problem that they messed all this up.
	Nor is it true that Manchin and Cinema were on the verge of nuking to filibuster Over this.
	That is a pretty bold assumption to ask members to make when he's asking us to assume facts not in evidence and facts and facts that are contrary to public statements made in the city.
	Let me ask you this question by Joe Manchester.
	Is this a fate accomplished?
	Or is it wise for my audience to call their senator, call Mitch McConnell's office and say stop caving?
	Because the number in Washington is 202-224-3121.
	Because Mitch McConnell to do this would need nine nine other Republicans to make this happen.
	And I'm hoping that he doesn't get nine other senators to capitulate and cave like he's caved.
	Sean, it is not a done deal.
	It is not a done deal until this vote happens.
	We're at least a few hours away from where that vote could even occur.
	So until it's done, I assume people could remain open to changing their minds.
	And I hope that they will reconsider.
	This is bad for the Republican Party.
	It's bad for the Republic.
	It is especially bad for hardworking Americans.
	Who are living paycheck to paycheck and finding that everything they buy from gas to groceries from housing to health care is more expensive because the federal government's printing money, and this is wrong.
	Well, you know, Senator Lindsey Graham is just called hang on one second, Senator Graham.
	He just called me on my cell phone.
	He's going to be with us at the at the top of the hour with Senator Ted Cruz.
	I asked him the same question.
	I said, Is it a done deal?
	He said, No, it's not.
	And Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham are on your side.
	You know, we we have an opportunity here where we could stop all of this, and all we need is for Americans now to get on the phone and say, Don't give in to the cave of the of Mitch McConnell.
	I don't know what happened here.
	You know, Democrats, this will tank our economy.
	This is socialism we can't afford.
	This is robbing future generations.
	The numbers 202-224-3121.
	We'll give you the last word, Senator.
	What concerns me most about this is that we're not even getting anything in return.
	Look, we made a commitment, a commitment about what we were going to do.
	We should have stuck to that plan.
	But if we were going to do this, if we were in a cave, we should have at least gotten something out of it.
	We should have at least gotten structural spending reports, some commitment to what they could do with reconciliation.
	Instead, we got nothing.
	We're giving them everything, and that's wrong.
	And anyone who wants to learn more about this can go to LeaferSenate.com and would love to have you.
	Thank you for standing strong on it.
	We really appreciate it.
	And uh we're gonna follow this closely, but it seems like time is urgent right now.
	Two days ago, we did not have this issue as a problem.
	Senator Mike Lee of Utah, thank you, Senator.
	And by the way, next time we're in town, I want a crown burger on you.
	Um forward to it.
	It'll be on me, Sean.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	He uh Senator Lee was in Crown Burger one day, and I said, please just send me a picture.
	And he sends me a picture.
	I'm like, oh, I wanted this thing so bad.
	Anyway, 202-224-3121.
	Uh new morning console poll asking voters what they think of the child tax credit and all the spending.
	Americans now, the more they learn about this, they don't want this spending.
	This is not what conservatives believe in.
	This is the this is the antithesis of being a conservative.
	This is now aiding and abetting new Green Deal socialism.
	And if the Republican Party I'll tell you one thing, you might not like Donald Trump's style.
	He cut taxes, cut the bureaucracy, he he gave us the from the list he promised before the election, judges recommended as constitutionalists.
	He built the border wall, stay in Mexico, ending catch and release, gave us energy independence for the first time in 75 years, all these trade deals around the world.
	He got it done.
	He tried hard to work on he got rid of some parts of Obamacare.
	John McCain didn't help him out when we needed him, even though he promised the people of Arizona.
	You know, the world believed that he would do it, and that's why he beat the caliphate, Solomonni, Baghdadian associates, and and look how the media reacted.
	And I don't think there never would have been any situation he'd abandon Americans the way that Joe Biden has behind enemy lines and now held hostage of the Taliban.
	Look at these times we live in.
	We now have the Biden administration literally ramping up efforts, now uh politicizing the DOJ further.
	They did this with the you know, by going after uh the the state of Georgia.
	Why did they go after the state of Delaware?
	Why do they go after the state of Delaware where there's no early in-person voting?
	There's no drop boxes.
	You need an excuse to vote absentee in Delaware.
	None of which you need.
	You have 17 days in person early voting in Georgia, drop boxes in every precinct, no excuse mail in balloting and voting.
	And you have the most restrictive laws in Delaware.
	Joe Biden never lifts a finger, but the T but the AG Merrick Garland goes after Georgia.
	Not Joe's state, where he never lifted a finger to create more accessibility for voting.
	Now we've got literally for the Biden administration ramping up efforts.
	What they want to come down on parents that are upset over CRT or the curriculum in their kids' schools or draconian COVID measures in their kids' schools and they dare to speak out.
	And now we're going to go after them to investigate these parents and refer to them as domestic terrorists and use the Patriot Act.
	And now even worse than that, we find out that Merrick Garland's son-in-law is a founding partner, what's called Panorama, a multi-million dollar that has multimillion dollar contracts with school districts pushing this CRT agenda, you know, in 25% of our schools so far, all around the country.
	Merrick Garland's family is making millions on this.
	This is outrageous.
	Mitch, you know, we take in $320 billion a month in this country.
	Levin was talking about it last night on Hannity, made some really good points.
	Taxes are paid whether the governments are open or closed.
	You pay your payroll taxes, whether the government's open or closed.
	$320 billion a month, the debt service every month is $44 billion.
	That leaves $280 billion left to pay for everything else.
	The government never shuts down.
	Essential employees keep working.
	And what usually ends up happening is people get a paid vacation.
	That's what usually ends up happening.
	You know, the the fact you cannot let Mansion and Cinema hold you hostage over the threat of the nuclear option.
	If they're going to use the nuclear option, let them use the nuclear option.
	Let this be on them.
	Because this is going to fail.
	Why?
	Because socialism always fails.
	But we're going to get free daycare and free early child education and free college, and we're going to get a government guaranteed wage and job and government healthy food and got more Obamacare.
	How did that the same people that screwed up your school system, can't maintain law and order, the same people that raided the lock boxes of Social Security and Medicare and squandered it into insolvency.
	You know, the same people keep your doctor care, keep your doctor plan and save money, lies.
	Now we're going to trust them with 3.5 trillion with all these other new promises.
	Socialism, whatever name, manifestation, whatever form, always ends the same way.
	False promises of security.
	It's never fulfilled.
	There's more poverty in the end, and you give up your freedom in the process in the name of false security.
	And Republicans are going to help them.
	If you're going to call, now's the time.
	202-224-3121.
	I don't want to be a broken record here.
	But now's key.
	Anyway, Ted Cruz and Lindsey Graham at the top of the hour.
	They're opposing this, trying to get answers from other senators.
	Did you get an answer from that senator I asked you to call, Linda?
	I did call them, yes.
	Yeah, you did call them, but they didn't answer, did they?
	They said they're going to get back to me.
