Sean Hannity.
Next is our final news roundup and information overload hour.
All right, news roundup information overload hour.
Toll free.
Our number is 800-941 Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program.
So by my count, it's 77 days since uh Kevin McCarthy had an opportunity to speak to Joe Biden.
Remember, we have this debt ceiling that is looming.
Uh very soon you will be hearing about the full faith and credit of the United States government is hanging in the balance.
Uh Joe Biden initially said that he would not negotiate with the Republicans.
Now we did go back and find a tape from years ago, I think it was 2011, of Joe Biden say it can't be my way or the highway, you gotta, you know, give and take a little bit.
So it's a very different Joe Biden.
Anyway, so without any ability to talk to or negotiate a plan on the raising the debt ceiling, well, Kevin McCarthy and the Republican majority in the House have come together with a bill.
Uh and by the way, conservatives love it, and it's responsible.
They will allow raising the debt limit, uh the borrowing cap by 1.5 trillion or through March of 2024, whichever comes first.
In return, uh, they are demanding fiscal responsibility on the part of the government.
And it's and it's really simple.
4.5 trillion in cuts.
Well, well over $30 trillion in money that we are now putting as debt on our children.
Anyway, McCarthy's calling it Limit Save Grow Act, and it will literally return discretionary spending to fiscal year 2022 levels.
That's all it's doing.
It will limit the growth of spending to a maximum one percent a year.
It will reallocate unspent COVID funds and limit other government spending.
Uh and he's gonna stick up with the hardworking people in America that are suffering because of this these oppressive taxes that they're putting on.
Let me play for you.
Uh, you know, Joe Biden's trying to go out there and give a speech on the economy, you can barely understand a word he says.
Four hundred billion dollars.
Four hundred billion dollars.
It's not just because I grew up with y'all, it's because it's true.
You know, when I speak to the business round table and the mucket mucks are good, a lot a lot of decent people.
The very all the business enterprises, they look at me like, hey guys, don't jump, okay?
Well, growing up, I didn't see a whole hell of a trickle down in our three-bedroom house with four kids in my dad's kitchen table.
How'd that happen?
I'm I mean deadly earnest.
You have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.
How did that happen?
Okay, well, guess what?
You're not you're now paying 35 bucks and a five hundred bucks a month for that insulin.
God love you, man.
Eight EIGH percent.
And then Kevin McCarthy, who I interviewed earlier this week, he's been challenging Biden to negotiate.
Biden refuses to negotiate.
So if you're not gonna negotiate, here's our plan.
If you want to raise the debt limit, this is it.
Now the challenge for Republicans is they've got to stay united when it comes down to the full faith and credit of the United States is hanging in the balance.
Joe Biden won't meet with Kevin McCarthy.
He laid out his plan.
Biden just wants to raise the debt, raise the debt, spend, spend, spend, spend, spend, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax, tax.
And guess what?
They either solve this together, or there won't be a ro they won't be able to raise the debt ceiling.
And this is where Republicans' first test comes in.
They can't capitulate here.
Anyway, here's Kevin McCarthy.
Now that we've introduced a clear plan for a responsible debt limit increase.
They have no more excuse and refuse to negotiate.
I think the Senate can honor maple syrup and basketball teams and negotiate on a debt ceiling at the same time.
We owe it to the American people to use this moment in history to deliver the future they want, need, and deserve.
House Republicans have a plan.
The Senate does not.
And the President is ignoring the debt crisis.
President Biden has a choice.
Come to the table and stop playing partisan political games.
Or cover his ears, refuse to negotiate, and risk bumbling his way into the first default in our nation's history.
Then we have this, you know, pretty amazing story on the economy, which I frankly am I guess I shouldn't be stunned at any of this, but uh, you know, Biden is out there blaming Kevin McCarthy, giving in to the wacko demands from his party.
Okay.
Whatever you want to say, Joe.
Hope does that make you feel better?
Because that's not solving the debt crisis.
Sitting down negotiating.
If you can keep your focus for like 20 minutes, you might be able to actually hear what the plan is.
Uh now we have Joe Biden's new rule is going to deliver redistribute high risk loan costs to homeowners with good debt.
In other words, if you have good credit rating, well, guess what?
You're gonna pay more so that people with bad credit ratings can get loans.
Oh, just like out in California, they now have an income determinative factor in terms of what you pay for utilities.
Now, Steve Moore, who will join us in a second.
I mean, he really nailed this uh in a in a press conference he gave.
Hi, Steve Moore here.
I'm here at the Patriotic Millionaires press conference where a bunch of millionaires said they want to pay higher taxes and they're advocating for it, but they won't sign a pledge saying they're willing to pay the taxes that they endorse.
In fact, not one of these patriotic millionaires raised their hand and said, I'm willing to pay more taxes voluntarily.
Hi, um, thank you, by the way, for doing this, and it's incredibly patriotic what you're talking about in terms of being willing to pay more taxes.
I think Myron, you started out this press conference by saying you want to pay more taxes.
And so uh I represent a group called the Committee on Leech Prosperity, and we have these pledges.
How many of you are millionaires here?
I know you are a number of you.
We're hoping that each one of you will sign this pledge, which says that you will pay a ninety percent tax just as you're endorsing today, because you say it's in your patriotic duty to do so.
And so I'm hoping that each one of you will sign this uh pledge that says I'm willing to pay a 90% tax because it's your as you said, it's your patriotic.
Let me understand you want me to do it in the yeah, let's get people, I've got pens.
Let's sign these, you know, what they're doing.
So we can solve the problem.
No, we want you all said that you wanted to pay, um, you said you wanted to pay more taxes.
No, no, no.
You said you want to pay more taxes.
So don't you think it's your duty.
Let me keep this depression.
I'm sorry, don't you think it's your patriotic duty to pay more taxes if you're saying that's the same.
But you all are millionaires.
We got another question.
Okay, I'm just because you guys are millionaires, and you're saying you don't want to pay more taxes.
Well, you do or you don't want to pay more taxes.
Yes, it's disingenuous to say voluntary change the law is going to make a structural difference.
But you can make you all can make a huge difference.
There's a little bit of hypocrisy when a bunch of millionaires get together and say raise taxes, but they're not willing to pay them themselves.
Out of the 20 millionaires here, not one of them was willing to pay more taxes.
All right, joining us now is Steve Moore, uh, author of the Trumponomics Inside the America First Plan to Revive the Economy and Adam Brandon, president of Freedom Works GOP debt limit proposal.
Uh welcome both of you uh to the program.
I don't know how the Democrats are gonna pin this on the Republicans that the full faith and credit of the U.S. government is hanging in the balance when they Joe Biden won't meet with McCarthy, Steve Moore for seventy seven days.
Sean, good to be with you at Just a couple of points, and I think you've summarized the situation quite well.
Uh, my only beef with what Kevin McCarthy has proposed.
I think you said that he wants to, you know, use the 2022 baseline for spending.
I'm with Rand Paul, Sean.
I'd rather go back to the 2019 pre-COVID baseline before we spent these trillions and trillions of dollars.
But look, uh Kevin McCarthy has exactly, and I I'm not always the biggest Kevin McCarthy fan, but he's done an amazing job here.
I think this package he's put together uh of demands are very reasonable, and those include things you mentioned some of them, Sean, but I want to point out it also includes no forty billion dollars for eighty thousand, seven thousand, you know, new IRS agents.
That's crazy.
That that's gonna be money used to weaponize the IRS against Republicans and conservatives.
He also wants to save three hundred billion dollars, Sean, by uh not spending unspent uh COVID money.
I mean, why should they use that as a piggy bank to spend on other programs?
Yeah, by the way, now that the pandemic is over, remember he used the emergency authorization uh he was gonna use that to fund his student loan forgiveness program.
Uh, but that's not constitutional, is it, Steve?
No, it isn't.
And by the that's another provision of of uh the McCarthy uh plan, which is no, we're not gonna bail out people who are not pay paying back their student loans.
The only thing I would say, Sean, about McCarthy's strategy is I think he's straight on, but I'm tired of him saying, oh, you know, Joe Biden won't negotiate.
There's an old thing, you know, if a if a girl says to you three times she doesn't want to go out with you, she doesn't want to go out with you.
So if if if Biden doesn't want to negotiate, what should that might have happened to me like, you know, five hundred times in my life, but go ahead.
I I doubt that.
But anyway, the point is what I'd like to see Oh, this is when I was dirt poor, don't worry, very big difference.
So what uh what what McCarthy should do is stop whining that he's he's not uh gonna negotiate and simply pass this bill through the House, pass it on to Chucky Schumer and say we've done our job, we've we're willing to extend the debt ceiling with these conditions, and then let Schumer and let uh Biden deal with it.
Uh let me give you your take, Adam, on this.
Well, the thanks very much.
I agree with everything that Steve said, but there's another number that just scares me that we're at 31 trillion right now.
In ten years, the Congressional Budget Office projects we will be over fifty trillion dollars in debt.
So thirty trillion right now is uncomfortable.
Imagine the conversation when we hit fifty.
Imagine when we start seeing news about China rattling its sword in a few years, probably five years, we will be paying more on interest, interest than we can on national defense.
So this isn't just a numbers issue.
This is about the security of you and your family.
This is a massive and and anyone who doesn't see this as a crisis, yes, it is time to come to the table.
And I actually I applaud McCarthy.
I when I would my expectations were low.
My I initially thought, hey, just get a cup of coffee out of this negotiation.
Let me let me tell you, let me take it a step further.
Here's a problem we have as a country.
There are too many people that like the idea of their government empowering uh being empowered to take one group of people's money and giving it to them for nothing.
There's too many people that have bought that socialist redistribution uh trickle down uh empowering your government to steal money from people and give it to you.
That's what they're doing.
Well, I just look everyone who's listening to this show, everyone who's in your audience right now, they actually take the time this week, today, call your congressman, whether they're Republican or Democrat, whether they're in the House or the Senate, and tell them I want to see some action on the what Republicans are moving right here.
We have to let the people who are being polled know we have their backs, and we have to let people know who are just trying to sit on the sidelines here that no, we demand action, and that's how eventually you're gonna move Biden.
When Biden sees that the suburbs and some of these other swing voters are like, you know what, this is reasonable.
It's time to come together as a country and negotiate.
That's what's ultimately gonna force Biden to negotiate.
Quick break.
We'll come back more about the economy with Steve Moore and Adam Brandon, and we'll get to your calls 800, 941 Sean, if you want to be a part of the program.
All right, we continue more of our discussion about the pending debt ceiling and Joe Biden's unwillingness to negotiate with Kevin McCarthy.
And I think Kevin McCarthy put forward a really good plan to get this country back to fiscal responsibility.
I mean, just going back to the twenty twenty-two budget.
Does that sound so outrageous?
You know, so extreme.
I don't think so.
Anyway, we continue with Steve and Adam.
Steve Moore, I don't know.
Well uh I don't think Biden has any choice as long as, and this is why the calls to Republicans are key.
If we lose four Republicans, we're in trouble.
You need a minimum of two hundred and eighteen that are willing to hold the line, Steve.
Yes.
And you're exactly right.
And I've been telling my friends in the Freedom Caucus, and they're friends of Adams as well.
Hey, you know, is this perfect?
No.
I as I said I'd rather go back to the 2019 baseline.
But would I vote for this?
Sure I would.
I think this is a a very good bill.
I think it puts the onus on the Democrats to move.
And by the way, I want to make one of the quick points, Sean.
Let's not forget Joe Biden came in.
This is on them.
They're the ones who spent six trillion dollars.
It was Joe Biden.
It was Chuck Schumer.
It was Nancy Pelosi who passed this massive debt.
Now they want the Republicans to pass a debt ceiling bill to accommodate all their spending?
Hell no.
I mean, I uh I I agree with you.
I think most people in this audience agree with you.
Uh the debt that Adam is talking about is very real.
Uh let me ask you this.
Adam, do you think that China is actively now along with their new allies, Russia, Iran, the Saudis, the UAE, Egypt, uh, and North Korea.
Do you think that they are trying actively hard trying uh to to make sure that the dollar is is not the world's currency anymore any longer?
Of course they are.
Absolutely, of course they are.
We have four percent of the world's population, but forty percent of the world's global capital.
Think about that.
And that's because of the strength of our system, strength of the dollar.
You erode that system.
Our way of life, we start resembling Brazil or Argentina very quickly.
And uh, but the good news is is the only way that we're gonna lose that is if we lose our basic moral values and what underpins this society, our commitment to free markets, all the rest of it, our our commitment to cheap energy.
So we so if we solve it at home, we don't have to worry about it.
We'll continue to attract global capital.
But yes, they are looking for any sign of weakness from this country to displace us.
All right.
Adam uh Brandon, thank you.
Steve Moore, thank you.
800-941 Sean on number.

Uh that we're now unpeeling the onion here, layer by layer by layer, and there is now a a there is a definite movement in the direction that the Biden family syndicate is getting exposed.
And this is all huge news.
And this IRS whistleblower, I can't wait till we actually hear from this person, this individual, hopefully soon.
I and I know all you Democrats agree, because I know you love whistleblowers because you love the hearsay whistleblower against Trump, you're gonna love the real whistleblower.
And uh, I think America has a right to know, and I want to know how much money the Biden family did in business with countries like China and Russia, how much did they profit?
Who profited, and did Joe Biden lie to us on all these occasions?
And I think the answer we already know is he lied repeatedly.
I want to remind you that our friends at MyPillow.com, they're having a massive closeout sale on their all season my slippers.

All right, let's get to our busy telephones here, shall we?
Uh let's say hi to Serena is in Kentucky.
Hey Serena, hi, how are you?
Glad you called.
Hey, Sean.
Thanks for taking my call.
Um I'm digressing a bit, but I w I I hear you talking about China all the time, and I appreciate that.
I appreciate your wealth and knowledge.
I listen to you.
Everyone's driving home after school.
Anyway, um, my daughter is planning on all this name for Shanghai, Disney.
Um performer.
She's worked in Saudi Arabia before.
But what would you say to her?
What kind of advice would you offer um if she were to be offered a contract?
Uming the tensions that are going on in the behind the scenes preparation, would you advise her not to take it if she were to be offered a job?
Uh what's the specific role?
Um, it's a Disney performer, character performer, one of the one of the apprentices.
Look, um, I don't think it's good for any company to get involved in politics, okay?
That's my my view.
I don't think it's good for business.
You know, I took a position um on the issue of Budweiser and Anheuser Bush and Bud Light and the controversy when they were paying money to this quote influencer.
And and I know a lot of people said, All right, I'm no longer drinking Bud Light.
I'm done with them, I'm finished with them.
Uh because they got themselves involved in politics.
They shouldn't have done it.
And they think, you know, running the Clydesdale ad around, you know, American symbols, etc.
is is gonna is gonna end the controversy involved.
Anyway, so long story short is that I think your daughter's gotta follow her own conscience.
However, you talked about this is Disney in Shanghai, correct?
It is.
It's Shanghai or Hong Kong.
It could be either or.
Not for sure which one.
I'm I'm worried about Hong Kong like I'm worried about Taiwan.
There's been a crackdown by the communist Chinese in Hong Kong.
And they are less free today, although they're certainly more hands-off Hong Kong than they are uh China itself.
Um and I will just tell you that I I do not trust the communist Chinese.
They are actively now taking advantage of a president that is weak, frail, and a cognitive mess, and it's very clear that they are working hard uh to create a new axis of evil with them, Iran and Russia, and they're still literally peeling away one of our allies a day, it seems, uh, because Joe Biden has abdicated his role.
And he's ignored these relationships.
The Saudis have chosen the communist Chinese.
The Saudis even allowed the Chinese to broker a deal with them and Iran, and they've always hated each other.
And now they're doing the same thing with Syria.
And I guarantee you, Kim Jong-un is gonna get in the mix soon.
I would not recommend any American go to China.
I would not recommend any American go to Russia.
Uh obviously you can't get into North Korea.
I doubt you'd be able to get in N North Korea unless your name is Dennis Rodman.
Uh, but short of that, um, I would stay away.
Now, as it relates to Disney as a company, uh, I think they are hurting their business on a ma in a major way.
And number one, they the cost is astronomical now, and there are too many competitors out there.
If you want to take your kids to an amusement park, I can I can promise you six flags, they're gonna have the time of their life.
And they have characters there too.
Maybe that not Disney characters, but they have other characters there.
So personally, I'm not a big boycott, cancel person.
I've never done it.
Fire person, I've never asked for anyone to be fired.
Um, would I be interested in working for a woke company?
No, I would not.
Okay.
Does that answer your question?
You've helped.
Thank you so much.
I appreciate taking call.
All right.
Thank you.
You're a good mom.
You're looking out for your daughter.
That's awesome.
Uh Danny is in Florida.
What's up, Danny?
How are you?
And the man, the free state of Florida.
Yes, sir.
Um I am the Southern Sean Hannity.
Oh, Lord.
I hear you talk about uh all the odd jobs you had growing up.
Well, I was the same way here in Florida.
Anyway.
I love but now people say, well, Hannity, what do you know?
You're rich, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Let me uh you know what's b bothers me about that.
Respect for you, you came up doing that stuff.
Listen, you know what bothers me about it.
It's uh listen, I struggled to pay my rent for really a lot of years of my early adulthood.
I had to drop out of college because I didn't have any more money to pay for it, and I had to pay my rent.
And I did all these we're talking about two decades of my life.
You know, almost ten years in the restaurant business and ten years as a uh contractor, painting contractor, doing all that stuff.
And you know, and then people you you're rich, Hannity.
I'm like, no, my mindset is still like it was back then.
I still dress like a slob like I did back then.
Uh I can't stand wearing a tie, by the way.
If you noticed I'm getting away with not wearing a tie a lot now on TV, but don't tell anybody.
Um anyway, and I I don't know.
I mean, I'll tell you what I do like to do with money.
I like to do nice things for people.
I like to donate it when I can.
I'd like to be able to take care of my family when I can and help them, and uh that's what I do.
And uh when I started in radio, I did it for free.
I did it for free for a long time.
My first paid job in radio was nineteen grand a year in Huntsville, Alabama, and I was happy as a clam.
My next paid job in radio was in Atlanta.
I got paid forty-eight thousand dollars a year, and I thought, hey, I might actually make money in this doing what I love.
That I ever think all these great things would ever happen to me.
No.
Is it undeserved?
Do I I I look at my life as an undeserved life and that God has blessed me, and that I think he you know, I don't know why.
I I wanna sh I want to share those blessings with other people.
But uh my motivation stayed the same all throughout.
I want to talk about saving our country and having the best America we can be.
Well, I can tell you, I I I'm a diehard conservative.
I've uh before Trump went in office.
I I told everybody, you know, this is gonna be our next president.
No, he's not.
Yeah, he is.
Yeah, he is.
And then now now it's coming down to we have I have the best governor out of all fifty states, bar none.
And uh now I think they're gonna go out.
I'm a big fan of Duranda Santis, and he's done a great job as governor, and I think I know where you're going with this, and I believe Donald Trump did a great job as president, especially under the circumstances of being attacked every second minute hour of every day, um, and still being attacked every second minute hour of every day.
Um, I think he did a great job as president also.
I I like both of them.
Yes, he did.
I he other than Ronald Reagan, and I think he kind of maybe surpassed Ronald Reagan with what he did.
Amazing accomplishments, and look at what has happened in two years and four months, a disaster.
Right.
I'm paying over over three sixty a gallon of gas, you know.
Oh, by the way, it's gonna go up uh we're gonna be back four or five dollar range coming soon.
OPEC, after they aligned after the Saudis aligned with with China, they immediately immediately cut back on the production of crude uh one point three uh million barrels of oil they cut from production to raise prices.
That's that's just uh I I don't get it.
And then when Trump was on your show, President Trump was on your show.
Uh I remember him saying that he could handle Ukraine in twenty-four hours, it'd be done.
I think I know what he's saying, but I I don't want to speculate, but I had a pretty good idea what he was saying.
Could have done it.
Look, I think he's what he's realizing is whether Ukraine wants to admit it or not.
The Donbass region of Ukraine is heavily Russian and it's Russian dominated, and I think that he would probably say, All right, they're getting this part, they'll keep Crimea, you get the rest of the country, and Vladimir, if you move one inch further, I will obliterate you.
That's what my guess is.
Yes, sir.
I I firmly believe that too, but uh he would handle it, unlike uh what we have in there now.
Um listen, he also says if he was president it never would have happened.
And by the way, look, Crimea was annexed when Biden was vice president and Obama was president.
And the four years Donald Trump was president, Russia didn't make a move.
They didn't budge.
He did wipe out the caliphate, took out Salomani, uh, the world's biggest terrorists, responsible for killing Americans in Iraq.
He took out uh Baghdadian associates, he took out the Al Qaeda leader in Yemen.
But you know, the caliphate grew under Obama and Biden.
This guy spoke tough, and and you know what?
Here's the difference.
He was strong, and President Chi and Putin, they absolutely had respect for that strength, and they believed he would go there.
They believed he was capable of doing anything.
And that kept them in check.
That check is now gone.
Because they know that your president today is checked out.
Doesn't know what day of the week it is.
Today's Thursday, Joe, if you're listening.
Well um Listen, uh, it's the nature of uh at some point during a primary.
Let me because a lot of people ask me about this.
At some point in a primary, it's gonna get ugly.
It always does.
I wish it weren't happening now.
Um I know that uh I like I really believe that one day Ron DeSantis has all the capabilities to be president.
I really do.
And I know that people are torn, they don't like, you know, it you know, some people like Donald Trump, some people say, Well, wait a minute, you wouldn't be there but for Donald Trump.
That was the answer he gave me.
Um, but he hasn't announced that he's getting in yet.
So let's see what happens.
Let's see how this unfolds.
We don't know how deep and bad Donald Trump's legal troubles are gonna get.
They're trying to get him in an orange jumpsuit, that I can tell you.
Yeah, that's a shame.
All of her a misdemeanor, and it probably wasn't even in the and the um statute of limitations is well gone.
Well, that's a different case.
I don't know what's happening in Georgia.
I don't know what's happening with the special counsel.
You know, the things that I hear, my sources give me information, what I put together, I don't like what I'm hearing.
I'm hearing that it's all bad.
There's nothing that I'm hearing that I say, oh, that's good.
Not one thing.
Well, they're they they are going full throttle to destroy him.
And they might be successful.
I don't know.
Let's hope not.
I hope not.
Not good for the country.
But I'll tell you what, right.
Now that they set the precedent, Joe Biden, uh, pay close attention because your family is up next.
800, 941 Sean on numbered.
Thank you, Danny.
Appreciate the call.
Uh let's say hi to Robert in Georgia.
What's up, Robert?
How are you?
Doing just great, Sean.
Thank you for taking my call.
Thank you, sir.
What's going on?
Oh, well, I just thought that you would get a kick out of this.
My wife and I were in Savannah, Georgia this uh past Saturday night.
We dropped our daughters off for their senior prom.
We went to eat at our favorite restaurant and had to wait a little while, so we just walked down to the next bar.
And there was a uh wonderful bart bartender from Bulgaria.
And we got to talking to her, and I asked her, you know, you know, what she likes about Georgia, what and then I asked her what does she miss the most about Bulgaria and what she said astonished me.
She said, I miss free speech.
Uh well, you know, people that seem to come from countries that are oppressive.
Like, for example, every Cuban American I've ever met loves freedom a little bit more than we do because they know know what life was like without it.
Every person from the former Soviet Union or Russia that comes to America, they seem to appreciate freedom more than we do.
And maybe it's because we take it for granted.
But we ought to remember at all times the admonition of Ronald Reagan that freedom is but one generation away from extinction.
That should be something in the back of our minds at all times.
Um anyway, good call, my friend.
Uh, I appreciate you being with us.
Thank you.
How many times have you ever spoken to your son about his overseas business dealings?
I've never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings.
I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else.
Anything having to do with their business, period.
And what I will do is the same thing we did in our administration.
There'll be an absolute wall between personal and private uh and and the government.
Do you stand by your statement that you did not discuss any of your son's overseas business?
Yes, sir.
I stand by that statement.
He's been working diligently on a high profile case, and I can't even talk to what case that is, and for others to put that together.
Um but um he was concerned that um that uh things that he he would attend meetings um in this investigation, and he was concerned about uh some statements by a senior political appointee from the Department of Justice Um that contradicted what He knew uh to be the facts of the case.
All right, that's gonna wrap things up for today.
