Time Text
This is an iHeart podcast.
All right.
Thanks, Scott Shannon.
800-941-Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program, hour two, glad you're with us.
As we watch, we expect sometime probably during my hour tonight, Hannity, Fox News, the Senate vote on the one big, beautiful bill.
We have gone over this in great specificity and detail.
Is a perfect no.
Did Senator Lindsey Graham was he very adamant on this show that he wants to have a second, maybe even a third reconciliation bill?
Yeah.
Is this imperative for the economy that we get it passed?
Yeah, it's imperative.
I mean, otherwise we're looking at the largest tax increase in American history.
Every Democrat that votes against it knows that they're voting for the largest tax increase in American history.
They're not standing up for American, hardworking American men and women because this bill allows no tax on tips, no tax on overtime.
It will be the biggest tax cut in American history by far.
It will lower taxes for seniors and social security recipients.
The improvements, reforms to make Medicaid more efficient and work requirements to cut out waste, fraud, and abuse is critical.
I mean, this has been their backdoor way of basically, you know, funneling everybody into Obamacare.
I talked about that at the time, and I was not wrong.
I wish I was.
It will, you know, I mean, there's so much good in here, not the least of which is taking care of our border, helping to remove criminal illegals in this country, you know, also putting in money for the next generation of weaponry.
It expects and anticipates $1.6 trillion in savings and generates $4.1 trillion in economic growth.
And, you know, all these predictions of doom and gloom are just dead wrong.
Reagan cut taxes 70 to 28 percent.
Revenues to the government during his presidency doubled.
And the problem is, is Congress spends too much money.
Anyway, this is, you know, there's been some wrangling.
This is always the case where you have senators, then we'll see the same thing unfold throughout the week.
House members, you know, everyone has their agenda item or items.
Ron Johnson was fighting on a particular issue and then explain why he changed his vote from no to yes on the reconciliation bill.
My biggest problem is that we really weren't returning spending to a reasonable pre-pandemic level.
But through multiple meetings with president, his economic advisors, I'm convinced that they are committed to returning to a reasonable pre-pandemic level spending.
And I'll be highly involved in a process to achieve and maintain it.
So that's at the crux.
But specifically on Saturday night, Rick Scott, who is an expert at healthcare, I don't think anybody knows more about it than he, has an amendment that wasn't included in the base bill.
And we're fighting to get it in there to remove the most damaging part of Obamacare on a Medicaid.
Nobody in the Republican Party is trying to impact Medicaid for the disabled children.
We're concerned about the Obamacare addition to it.
It's called Medicaid expansion.
For every dollar the state spends on a disabled child, the federal government kicks in $1.33.
But for single, able-bodied, working-age, childless adults, for every dollar the states kick in for those folks, the federal government puts in $9.
That has led to provider fees, provider taxes.
That is in healthcare.
That's causing the federal government to pour billions, hundreds of billions of dollars into the states, putting at risk Medicaid for the vulnerable.
Great point.
Dr. Oz has been on this program numerous times talking about it.
Joining us now is Jason Chaffetz, author of a brand new book.
It's out today.
We have a link on Hannity.com.
It's on Amazon.com now and bookstores around the country.
Quote, they're coming for you, how deep state spies, NGOs, woke corporations plan to push you out of the economy, push you out of the economy and out today.
Anyway, we appreciate your book is out today.
We appreciate Jason being with us.
How are you, sir?
Hey, thanks, John.
Let's get your take.
Will this get done by Friday, the 4th of July?
I think it will.
There's nothing more compelling for a member of Congress, having been one, than a deadline where people want to go home and be with their families for 4th of July.
Otherwise, it would continue on in perpetuity.
Could it go past that?
Maybe, as Donald Trump said, you really have till the end of September, but you really want to get it done now.
And I think it will, because I think it's a good bill, and you got one or two holdouts, but they'll succumb to the pressure.
Yeah, I'm not really sure why the system works the way it does.
It's sort of like they game it out just like Chuck Schumer spent the 16 hours having the bill read.
Republicans, in fairness, have done that as well.
I actually think it's a healthy process.
I like to know what's in it before you sign on to it.
And I don't agree with every provision that I have seen.
I've not read the whole bill.
I've not even come close to reading it.
But the major takeaways from it are everything, the top agenda items of the president.
And that includes securing the border.
That includes the largest tax cuts in history.
That includes no tax on tips and overtime.
That means protecting Social Security.
There's reforms to Medicare.
That also gives money to deport illegal criminals.
It adds money to our much-needed next generation of weaponry.
We better stay current and ahead of our enemies on that front.
So I take away a net plus, plus, plus.
And then I'd like to see them go back and cut more spending.
I think that Ron John and some of these other guys are not wrong.
Yeah, fiscal conservatives, of course, would love to see more, deeper cuts in spending.
But I'm exactly where you are on this, Sean.
I just think if the good far outweighs any sort of negative that's out there, you never get that perfect bill that everybody agrees to.
It's just not feasible.
That's not how the sausage is made.
And this is an opportunity.
And look, let's give some credit to President Trump.
Has he been wrong yet?
Because he really hasn't.
Everybody yelled and screamed and pulled their hair out about, oh, look at all these tariffs, and that's going to make the economy do this, that, and the other.
We're hitting record territory if you look at what's going on in the stock market.
And the world, the inflation, it's pretty much non-existent.
The price of gas keeps going down.
So if the President Trump, who has a mandate from the American people, says this is what we want, you got to come up with a darn good reason to vote no.
But at this point, I think they're all going to pretty much all going to line up.
But there's also the deal that has been made, and I literally checked moments before coming on the air today that the trade deal with China is real and signed, and that there's going to be an announcement of other big countries in just this week alone.
So those trade deals are happening quicker.
It's also resulted in a huge plus in terms of monies to our treasury.
He got NATO to go to 5%.
You see what he did with Iran.
I mean, this is becoming consequential and transformational far faster than I thought it would.
Yeah, if you look at what the president has done in the first six months of his new four-year term, I mean, most presidents don't get that done in four years.
This president is moving at breakneck speed.
And I do think we'll see more trade deals.
I think the tariffs policy will actually pay off in a big, big way.
And if he can get, I like what he did to Jerome Powell today by signing that personal note to him saying, hey, Mr. Chairman of the Federal Reserve, why are we lagging behind the entire country in having such high interest rates?
If the Fed would move those rates lower, the economy would go even faster.
Well, and the president did the handwritten note I talked about a little bit in the first hour.
It's pretty unconscionable to me, and it's stifling.
If there's one sector of our economy that is slow, it's the housing market.
And anyway, he said world central bank rates, and the United States is 35 in terms of having the lowest rate.
And all these other countries are doing much better.
He said, Jerome, you are, as usual, quote, too late.
You have cost the U.S. a fortune and continue to do so.
You should lower the rate, buy a lot, hundreds of billions of dollars being lost.
And literally says there's no explanation for this.
No, the chairman has said in the past, he's doing this with because the tariffs might be inflationary, but they haven't been.
That's the point.
They haven't been.
So, you know what?
It is time to unleash it because there's a lot of money sitting on the sidelines that wants to get involved in real estate, and they're just waiting for those rates to come down.
The Democratic Party is the party now woke elites that champion the rights of men to play women's sports, champion the rights of even criminal illegals over the safety of Americans.
And I'm trying, and that's supporting the likes of Momdani, which I'm going to go through in more detail.
We did some in the first hour.
Can you explain what is this party thinking?
And why is Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries afraid to condemn Momdani for the call for global antifata?
And he had three chances this weekend with Kristen Welker to back off it, and he wouldn't do it.
I wrote this book, they're coming for you, for precisely this reason.
The radical left has gone so far to the left that the only thing they have is this degree of socialism and control and outright communism, if you ask me.
And what Doge.
Well, I mean, this Momdani is a Marxist.
You heard his comments about billionaires.
You've heard his comments about free market capitalism.
You know, now he wants to, now he's adding an element of race to it.
He wants to, you know, tax the richer, whiter areas of whatever.
I don't even know what that means.
But, I mean, could you imagine any Republican saying they want to tax people of a certain race, color, or ethnicity?
Well, so what happened is, and again, the premise of they're coming for you is the idea that Doge and the Republicans and Donald Trump have highlighted hundreds of billions of dollars that are going to these woke corporations, these non-government organizations, and he's cut off that spigot.
But what I'm talking about in the book is all this data.
They have been collecting data and they're using this data to push you out of the economy.
They're doing it to manipulate elections, to go after their favored ones, to go after the woke elite that they like.
And they're attacking people through the banking system and giving a social credit score.
Everybody from Melania Trump to Baron Trump who were pushed out of the economy because they got rid of their banking relationships.
They've gone after the meat industry.
They've gone after religion.
They've gone after all sorts of things.
They've used the IRS to do this.
They've gone after gun manufacturers.
If you shop at Cabela's, for instance, you were on their target list to get rid of.
So you better pay attention of how much money, it's about a $400 billion a year industry.
These data brokers are buying and selling your data right out of the government.
And the government is using that, again, to manipulate elections.
Well, you say in this book that Trump may be in office, but Democrats have laid the groundwork for permanent power.
Do you not believe that that groundwork has been shattered?
Well, if you think that that deep state is just going to roll over and say, hey, Trump won and Trump got his way, there's no way.
They have so much data, information, they're still extracting it, and they're going to continue to use it in nefarious ways that they think you will never see or you will be oblivious to.
And they will do it by the billions of dollars, and they will be targeting you.
They are not just going to roll over, Sean.
They are going to come after you because they're just going to keep gathering that data, and that's the spigot that has to be cut off.
That's pretty scary.
All right, quick break more with Jason Chaffetz on the other side.
His new book out today, by the way, They Are Coming for You, How Deep State Spies, NGOs, Woke Corporations Plan to Push You Out of the Economy.
Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores all around the country.
All right, we continue now.
Jason Chaffetz is with us, my fellow Fox News host.
And anyway, he has a new book out today.
They are coming for you, how deep state spies, NGOs, woke corporations plan to push you out of the economy.
Amazon.com, Hannity.com, bookstores all around the country.
I do tell people, you know, Donald Trump is but one person and there's only one Donald Trump.
I mean, you only had one Ronald Reagan, and that's it.
And so this is our opportunity.
Now, the hope is that somebody gets elected after him that continues the policies and is strong enough to get it through.
Yes, Donald Trump has been absolutely the greatest president.
I think there really, I mean, he is one of the top three presidents in the history of our nation.
And what he's doing right now in record time, and he has been pointing this out and trying to get rid of what Obama and Biden had done in terms of Operation Chokepoint and trying to push these people out of the economy.
But that will come back as soon as they possibly can because Donald Trump can only do so much.
If people are just oblivious to how the government is using this data and manipulating you, think about when you drive in your car, or let's say you're talking to your friend about buying a new couch.
How many times have you had an ad pull up that says, oh, look, look at all these ads for couches?
It's much more nefarious than that because they're going to charge you higher rates based on what you do, who you interact with.
They can do simulated cell phone towers and find anybody who's been within 100 feet of a particular location over the course of time.
Government is buying and selling that data.
You go get a driver's license in Florida.
It used to be, think about it, name, address, telephone, everything is in there.
And then what do they do?
The state of Florida was selling that information.
You paid to get that driver's license, then they were selling it.
And there's a company out there called Clearview AI.
They have tons of billions of photos.
Guess what the Biden administration did in week one?
They spent $500,000 acquiring and doing a contract with Clearview AA.
I'm not saying they broke the law, but they went out there and got all this imagery so they can tell who's where, doing what, and then they're going to figure out who the conservatives are, who the Democrats are, and the Democrats are going to get all the favors.
Republicans are going to pushed out.
You're describing an Orwellian nightmare, and I don't doubt a word you're saying, unfortunately.
Anyway, the book is called The Coming for You, How Deep State Spies, NGOs, Woke Corporations Plan to Push You Out of the Economy.
It's on Hannity.com, Amazon.com, bookstores around the country.
Jason Chaffetz, we appreciate your time.
Thank you, sir, for being with us, and good luck with the book.
And we'll be talking soon.
Thanks, Sean.
Why didn't you show up?
We were in Clearwater on Saturday.
We missed you.
I think my invitation got lost in the mail.
I don't know.
Your invitation did not get lost in the mail.
Why are you lying to the audience?
You're lying to the audience.
I think the audience would agree that the stage belonged to Sean Hannity in Clearwater, Florida.
No, you said I shouldn't be surprised that you would probably show up.
That's what you said.
Thinking about it, you know, but it was sold out.
Backstage was full.
I heard even Eric Stanger had to break down a couple of doors just to get back there.
And I was like, poor Stanger.
Last minute.
They're not letting Stanger backstage.
I'm like, you're not letting Stanger backstage.
We got to fix this.
I handled it in 30 seconds.
He was back within 30 seconds of your note.
Listen, it was right before showtime.
Well, yeah.
And, you know, unfortunately, I mean, at this point in my life, I need more security than I've ever needed.
And I've had my fair share of it over the years, but it just makes it unfortunate.
So what was the highlight of the night?
Let's talk about that.
What do you think is funny?
I'm going to tell you what the highlight is.
And I say this honestly with gratitude.
And I am so grateful and so blessed.
And it's humbling to see just great Americans, wonderful people gather together.
And we're kind of, you know, in a celebratory mode because we won.
And we're in a celebratory mode because the left is imploding.
And a part of it is funny.
I mean, a big part of my routine was just talking things that I never thought I'd be talking about on the air.
I never thought, like last week, we reported about Planned Parenthood that they're urging men to get cervical exams for men's health month.
I never thought I'd ever talk about something like that.
Never thought I'd talk about taxpayer-funded sex change operations for illegal immigrants or tampons being put by Tampon Tim in boys' bathrooms in grammar school.
These are not topics I expected to talk about when I started my radio career in 1987 or when I started my career on Fox.
It's going to be 30 years in October that I've been on the air.
Never thought these were topics I'd discuss.
I never thought, you know, look at all the nuttiness with Mom Donnie.
We'll talk to our, you know, our good friend Mark Simone about that in the next hour, too, but it's crazy.
And part of it's funny, but part of it's scary.
Did you think like when you were up there that it was going to be you more serious, Jimmy more funny?
Or do you feel like it was even?
You know, Jimmy's a professional.
Listen, he's out on the road and has been out on the road for a couple of decades now doing stand-up comedy.
And I do something different, but I added a lot of humor to political commentaries, what I did, because you can also be more irreverent.
I told everybody it was an R-rated show.
I mean, I don't have to say shif.
I can actually say the word.
And I turned that into a bit, you know, a shift show.
You know, he's a shif head.
And I go, so I could actually say it.
And, you know, that's, um, I like that I didn't have to get dressed up and put a jacket on.
I would dress as I always do.
I was actually, was I going to wear my Nike shirt or a button-down shirt?
But you went with the button-down.
I saw one photo and you went with the button down.
Yeah, I went with the untuck it button down.
Nice.
Jimmy was in pain.
I saw.
What the hell was that?
I have no idea.
I was joking with him on stage about it.
It's like, oh, you know, I did not expect, you know, I did a run through and it went this amount of time.
And it ended up going almost twice the amount because you add libs so much around your material because three hours of extemporaneous radio every day.
You're also looking at your audience.
You know, you're seeing what's connecting and what's not and what they care about.
What do you think the audience loved the best?
What was the best topic?
I don't want to do it because I'm going to do it on the next, we're going to do another event.
Just give like a genre.
Was it like cultural or political?
It was all of it, but everything had a lot of politics behind it and mocking the left, but also the, you know, while doing so, just showing how obscene they are.
I mean, Mom Donnie is a Marxist.
You know, it's directly added to each according to their need from each according to their ability.
And he was so in the news, I just started going through everything that he stands for.
And that's before all the crazy stuff he said this weekend, which we'll go over again with Mark Simone.
Yeah, I mean, there's really no denying it.
But yeah, I mean, that's super, I think it's super cool.
I think it's nice that you did it.
I think it's good to always get out and get in touch with the audience and get to kind of like talk to them and all the things.
I think that that's actually the best thing to do because, first of all, they give me this microphone every day.
I'm grateful.
They give me that TV camera every night.
I'm grateful.
And I honestly, it just, it's like real people.
And you just look out and you can kind of, this is my read, the people that make the country great.
The people that get up every day, work hard, play by the rules, raise their kids, you know, pay their taxes, and go to church on Sunday.
Just salt of the earth Americans.
And I just enjoy being around them.
And I heard you had your drink in your namesake.
Did you have the drink or did you just see it?
No, I drank half.
I didn't drink it all.
Well, I think I did drink it all, actually.
I had an Oceanity.
So everybody, Sean went to The Outpost, our caller, Wendy.
It's Outpost 611.
And they have a drink there for those of you who don't know called The Oceanity.
And my friends, they were there and they were so nice.
I got the ribeye when I went to eat.
It was out of this world.
Their menu is.
Yeah, they have five stars everywhere.
Like it's a little tiny joint, but they do good food.
It was awesome.
And so.
Did you have chocolate?
They have Belden chocolate there.
Did you have some?
No, they did offer the chocolate.
You know, I don't eat carbs.
I stay away from that.
So good, dude.
Sometimes you got to cheat.
If you're going to cheat, well, if you would have come, you could have had the chocolate.
No, I'm not going to choose between steak and chocolate.
I'm not eating chocolate.
I don't have a bite, but I don't eat chocolate.
I don't want a bite.
I have no taste for chocolate.
Oh, my God.
Long gone.
No, none.
Well, I think it was nice you got there.
I know she was excited.
She sent me a bunch of pictures of you and Eansley, so it was really cute.
And my friends that own chicken salad chick, which I said you couldn't open in New York because it would be considered sexist.
Or serious.
It's a little funny.
You can't say you're.
I want to say it to all the hot chicks out there.
How you doing?
Well, it's weird if you say it like that.
I mean, you know, but chicken salad chick would be fine.
Oh, I think the woke left would be triggered by the name Chick.
Listen, they still go to Chile, and that's a Christian organization.
I'm just saying, you never know.
And Mondami wants to, you know, decriminalize prostitution.
Next thing, it's going to be taxpayer-funded hookers.
He's gross.
He's just gross.
He's so gross.
All right, let's get to our busy phones.
Jim in Tennessee.
What's up, Jim?
How are you?
Glad you called.
Hi, Sean.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
I had a couple things I wanted to touch on.
Yes, sir.
The big, beautiful bill.
Yes, sir.
And I think the president has an option he can use to continue cutting wherever he wants by using rescission packages.
And I haven't heard anybody on any of the news shows discuss the efficacy of him, you know, going to that after the bill is passed to eliminate parts of the budget that he doesn't support.
And that would align with the Doge cuts that have been discussed for the last several months.
And the other item I wanted to touch on was the bunker buster.
I was fortunate enough to be a young Air Force officer at Eglin Air Force Base in the early 1980s and 1990s when the basic technology that supported that program was being developed.
The scientists there had to understand how materials reacted to being impacted.
We had to build electronics and develop technology to be able to even figure out how the process would work to be able to give the United States the capability that was so soundly world-changing last week.
The same people that said that Joe Biden was cognitively strong and ignored his cognitive decline and said the borders were closed and inflation was transitory.
They want to try and make the case that 14 bunker buster bombs, 30,000-pound bombs that all hit their target, their GPS guided bombs, just pinpoint accuracy, and 30 Tomahawk missiles fired from submarines 400 miles away, all hitting their target.
And they want to turn that into somehow turn that into a failure.
I mean, that's how sick the left has become.
And it's gotten sicker with Mamdani and AOC and Jasmine and the squad and Grandpa, Bernie, and Pocahontas and the rest of them.
It's a party of extremists.
And they're out of touch with working men and women.
Now they want to vote for the biggest tax increase in history.
They won't stand up for working men and women in the service industry, no tax on tips or other working men and women that, you know, no tax on overtime.
I mean, they're not even going to vote for any of it.
Unbelievable.
No, America to succeed.
Well, I mean, but in the process, they're basically saying our military failed.
They did not.
It could not have been more successful than what they did.
And it took a lot of guts, a lot of heroism, and a lot of courage.
And it was an extraordinarily dangerous mission.
Quick break, right back.
More of your calls.
Straight ahead, 800-941.
Sean, if you want to be a part of the program, then we'll have the latest on Zoran Mamdani.
Come on up with Mark Simone and more.
Straight ahead.
Hannity Watch.
Keeping an eye on Chuck and Nancy and their minions.
Sean Hannity.
All right, back to our busy phones.
Jay in New Jersey.
Thank you, Jim.
Jay, how are you?
Yeah.
Hey, Sean.
About Mamdani, I believe that this is what happens when we have unfettered legal immigration.
You know, people make a big deal about illegal immigration, which they should, but our citizens in this country have to share our values.
And I think that if we have somebody from Africa come here and seven years later wants to run the biggest city in America, I don't believe that's good.
I believe that we should have people that share our capitalist love for American values.
And the Democrat Party now is a perfect place for someone like that because they do not love America.
I just saw a Gallup poll that had 92% of Republicans say they love America and only 36% of Democrats say they love America.
Now, that's an all-time low from 2000.
And, you know, the Democrat Party now is the place for these people.
And that's why Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have to go and cover for him because they're scared of what their party has become and they want to stay in power.
If you look at these large population areas in these blue states and blue cities, just if you look at Los Angeles and Karen Bass, and if, you know, who praised Castro upon his death, or Democratic mayor Brandon Johnson with a 6% approval rating in Chicago,
and you look at now this Marxist, radical communist Zoron Mamdani, I guess the betting odds have him at a like 76% chance of becoming the next mayor.
That's scary.
That's one in 25 Americans now, you know, are going to be governed and ruled by these three mayors.
That's a big number.
And the Democratic, this is where the Democratic Party in the past, they have tried to hide their real values.
This is where the party's going.
And their leadership now is feckless and immobilized.
And they have absolutely no earthly idea how they're going to deal with this insanity.
None.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, you know, the Democrat Party was like this for a long time, and now they can't hide it anymore.
The cat's out of the bag.
And these people that they created, the Zora Mamdani's, Brandon Johnsons, and Karen Bass people, they love communism.
They hate America.
And they are going to start taking over our cities.
And we have to stop it.
And New Yorkers have to stop it in particular because this will be a travesty.
If this guy wins, I don't see how New York has a chance.
Yeah, appreciate the call.
