Speaker 3

Stay right here for our final news roundup and information overload.

Speaker 2

All right, News Roundup and information Overload. Our toll free our number is eight hundred and nine four one Sean.

If you want to be a part of the program, We'll be joined at a minute by Senator Mike Lee of Utah has been laying it all out on his ex account every single day, putting up his efforts to push through legislation that support the president, teaming up with Congressman Comer, Chairman of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, to make that a reality on both sides of Congress,

especially now as they work through the reconciliation process. He's also working to end the Federal Reserve and calling out the nonsense of Democrats, which the entire country saw on display on Tuesday night. Let's go back, let's listen to Hakim Jeffrey. Publicans are playing partisan games with censure resolutions because they are crashing the economy in real time. Let me remind all of you before I play this, the Republicans.

Donald Trump's economic plan has not been implemented. We are currently living under the fiscal policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. In case you don't know, the fiscal year begins October one, and to try to stop the disastrous bleeding and record debt and deficits accumulated under Biden, which if you take out the COVID years twenty and twenty twenty one and the debt that we accumulated, those years

by a two to one margin. The debt and deficit under Joe Biden was double that of Donald Trump, and now Donald Trump, through DOGE and other measures, and as he said in the State of the Union, is now pushing to get us to a balanced budget. But if you listen to the radicalized Democrats, your Republicans playing partisan games with central resolutions. But what we're supposed to do with with Congressman Al Green just let them get up and start interrupting the State of the Union address was

bad enough. They all sat on their hands and couldn't stand for mothers that lost children, couldn't stand for cancer survivors, couldn't stand for women injured because of men playing women's sports. Couldn't stand for a young man that just found out the great news that, like his father and grandfather and other family members, that he got into West Point. They just sat on their hands the whole time and were performing nothing but antics, holding up their you know, their

bingo signs. Anyway, here's the keem Jefferies, frankly, just flat out lying.

Speaker 4

Republicans are playing political and partisan games with their censor resolutions because they are on the run. Republicans are on the run with respect to theonomy. Donald Trump consistently promised that grocery prices were going to be lowered on day one, but costs aren't going down, They're going up. The stock market isn't going up, it's going down. Inflation is up, and Donald Trump and House Republicans are crashing the American economy in real time. Republicans are on the run with

respect to the economy. Not a single bill, not a single executive order, and not a single administrative action has been put forth by Donald Trump or House Republicans to improve the economic circumstances of the American people. And folks are taking notice all across the country, which is why his approval ratings aren't going up staying the same, They're going down.

Speaker 2

Actually, the approval for his speech was a record numbers, not only specifically on the speech given itself and the American people in their reaction to it, but full agreement on the President's position on the economy, on Doze, on pretty much every issue that he mentioned. Then Jakeem Jefferies goes on and claims that Republicans are trying to cut Medicaid. In my interview with President Trump and Elon Musk, the President was clear he's not touching social security of Medicaid

now they will eliminate any waste, fraud, and abuse. And the President went into great specificity about how many people are on the social security roles that are even as old as three hundred and sixty years old. Now, as it relates to these town halls, what have we discovered. We've discovered that there are wealthy individuals in this country.

A couple of these groups, according to reports, may be linked to George Soros that have purposely been stacking town halls with as Rush used to call seminar attendees like seminar callers and people that are get been talking points for the very purpose of disrupting and trying to make Republicans look bad at the town halls. This is well funded, it is orchestrated. Scripts are given out, and all of

this has been determined and ascertained. Nobody's ducking or dodging their real constituents, And like usual, it's just smoking mirrors and it is an image play by the Democratic Party. Anyway, we welcome back to the program Senator Mike Lee of Utah. He's been laying a lot of this out on X welcome back, Senator, and it was good to see you. I had an opportunity to see Mike Lee recently and it was a pleasure to see you.

Speaker 3

Thanks so much, Jeohan, good to be with you as always.

Speaker 2

Let's talk about what Hakim Jeffrey said.

Speaker 3

Yeah. Look, this is the Democratics party spiraling out of control. They've got no message, and what message they do have doesn't resonate with the people. This is the same party that voted unanimously in the Senate just Monday night to make sure that men can participate in women's sports. This is the party that the very next night, during President Trump's joint address to Congress, refused to stand in applaud not just for the First Lady of the United States.

Keep in mind, Republicans always showed respect for the family of the president, even the president himself when Joe Biden was in office, and Democrats they didn't do that. They refused, not just to do that. They wouldn't even applaud for the kid with cancer who was awarded the distinction of becoming an honorary Secret Service agent that night. They refused to plaud anything. They have no message other than trying to attack that which they don't like, which involves everything

the Republicans say and do. The American people are with us, they're against them. They know that, and they're spiraling out of control as a results.

Speaker 2

Now they really have become The only thing they applauded was more funding for Ukraine. We've spent hundreds of billions of dollars to bring it to a stalemate, and it has evolved basically into a proxy war between Russia and the United States, and and they want to continue spending massive amounts of money which we can really ill afford. They've become the party championing men and their rights to

play in women's sports. They have become the party that also champions the rights of the illegals over the safety of Americans. They have become the party that, even though we've identified hundreds of billions of dollars in waste, fraud, corruption and abuse, they want to be the party that is defending that recklessness. And I don't know how they

get themselves out of this radicalism. There seems to be no sensible Democrat, maybe with the exception the only one that I see that has ever that has since Tuesday's spoken out a little bit against it was John Fetterman, but he seems rather powerless in the Senate because his party is so far to the radical left. I didn't see John Fetterman standing up during these moments that you mentioned.

Speaker 3

It's pretty hard when you're out numbered. You know, Sean who woke mind virus as a name, and it's called Marxism. Once you're infected with Marxism, it's hard to shake it loose, especially when your radical base demands it, when your donor is expected and you can't get away with it. The only problem is you eventually run out of other people's money to spend. You eventually run out of the goodwill that you would otherwise have from the American people once

they've seen that. In the last year alone, the last year of Joe Biden's administration alone, he added one point five trillion dollars in compliance costs, just dead weight loss through the federal regulatory system, through laws written by unelected, on accountable bureaucrats foisted involuntarily on the American people, whose

elected lawmakers would never vote for such nonsense. So people get tired of that after a while, and that's part of what propelled Republicans to victory in the House, in the Senate, and ultimately Donald Trump into the White House. Which is why we've got to finish this. We've got to complete the Doge effort. To make the Doge effort stick, We've got to make statutory spending cuts through recisions packages

in other wors. We've also got to reform the regulatory system bypassing, among other things, the Rains Act, which we must attached to any pitsuing bill that comes before Congress this year.

Speaker 2

Let me ask about the efforts to actually get America out from underneath the Biden Harris economy and record debt and deficits that they've been creating. It's a process called reconciliation, and in the Senate, the body that you are in, there are very very specific rules and standards that must be met for it to be acceptable. You can't add to the debt or the deficit. That's one of them. And it's a little more complicated than what the household do.

There's been a lot of talk about one big, beautiful bill or whether or not there should be done in two bills. I would argue it just needs to be done sooner or later so that the president's economic plan is adopted. That would include his plan on energy, his plan on immigration, his plan on tax cuts, et cetera. Now, with all of that said, nobody in the House and nobody in the Senate that is a Republican is going to get everything that they want. It's just not going

to happen. But the only but there's got to be a way to thread the needle here and everybody hopefully will get on board and pass the president's agenda. You're working with the House, you're working with James Comer, you know, to help get this agenda passed. So I ask you, what's the status of it?

Speaker 3

All right? So the status of it is, we've got a fairly five majority in the Senate with fifty three votes. Oddly enough, even though it's a much bigger chamber, more than four times the size, they've got a much dinner margin in the House. The House informally has the ball at this moment when it comes to reconciliation. We started with one approach that would have turned into either a

two or a three bill strategy. Ron Johnson, my friend colleg from Wisconsin, actually make a compelling case for why a three bill strategy might well be the best. But given that the House has the tightest margin. The House has got the ball. We're going to see what they can pass in the House. If they can do it one big beautiful bill, so be it, we'll move forward. But you're right, reconciliation is something that is very tricky in the sense there are a lot of complicated rules.

Bottom line is it has to be budgetary in nature, has to affect mandatory outlays or revenues incoming, and those things can get through on a reconciliation bill with only a simple majority of fifty one votes. We look forward to getting that done. There is a lot of good that we can accomplish in there, as far as reforming government in a way that no Democrat would likely go along with, or at least not enough Democrats to get us past the critical threshold of sixty votes to bring

debate to a close outside the reconciliation framework. So we are seeing a lot of effort expended on the House side and on the Senate side. But the next movie is likely for the House to make here and look forward to seeing whatever they can get through.

Speaker 2

Right quick break, right back, and we'll continue. Senator Mike Lee of Utah is with US eight hundred nine to four one, Shawn us on number. If you want to be a part of the program, all right, we continue now. Senator Mike Lee of Utah is with us discussing now a number of things how to get the President's economic plan passed and get this legislation and the agenda on the role and also of his work to end the Federal Reserve. We'll get to your calls coming up. Eight

hundred and ninety four one Shawn. In a minute, let's talk a little bit about your working to end the Federal Reserve and how would you do that and why would that be important?

Speaker 3

Well, look, if we ended the federals are put it on a delayed implementation schedule, then we can figure out what combas next or will be in much better shape. And what I mean by that is we have a system in place that was created rather deliberately, I believe, in order to facilitate the inexorable growth of government in order to provide a privileged status for a private or profit business enterprise that we call the Federal Reserve Bank.

That entity notwithstanding effect that it exercises a significant amount of government authority invested with a lot of discretion discretionary authority when it comes to monetary policy, bank oversight, and so forth. Is itself ultimately a private, for profit business enterprise. And it's neither fish nor foul, It neither man nor horse. But it bears in many respects the least desirable qualities

of both. So if we ended that and we instead put it in charge of actual government officials, people who are elected by the American people, accountable to them, we'd be in better shape. Instead, what we'd have is a federal reserve bank that has the so called dual mandate. Their job is to manage inflation, keep inflation and check but also maintain full levels of employment. These are kind of at odds with each other, and the way it often ends up working is they just facilitate inflation and

thereby facilitate the exponential growth of government. This has been a raw deal for the American people. If anyone looks at what their dollar buys today as compared to what it bought five years ago, ten years ago, twenty years ago, thirty years ago, it is stunning.

Speaker 1

What happens.

Speaker 3

This is theft. It's reverse robin hood. It steals from the poor and gives to the rich end of the powerful, and that's wrong. That's why on my social media accounts, particularly on at Base Mike Lee account on X I rail on this a lot. We've got to get rid of the Federal Reserve and we've got to restore power to the people by doing that and passing the Rains Act to put lawmakers elected lawmakers rather than unelected bureaucrats in charge of our government.

Speaker 2

We really appreciate your time set it at Mike Lea, Utah. And I'm very jealous because you have Crown Burger in Salt Lake City, and when you're on recess, you're going to be a Crown Burger. I just want you to think of me while you're there, because I wish I was there with you Crown.

Speaker 3

Burger non stop, just eating as many Hamburgers every time I go there. I eat one for me and.

Speaker 1

One for you.

Speaker 2

I really appreciate that those kind words, Senator, I really do, thank you very much, as I can only crave one anyway. Senator Mike Lee, Utah, eight hundred nine four one. Shawn is on number. If you want to be a part of the program.

Speaker 3

Check out in the show twenty four to seven. Download it to your iPod via Hannity Insider at Hannity dot com.

Speaker 2

All right, twenty five now till the top of the hour, eight hundred and nine one Shawn is a number you want to be a part of the program. And if you're like me of getting more and more and more into health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, and mostly my diet consists of meat and eggs. And one of the things I missed the most is cereal. I've always loved cereal and I use organic and no fat, fat free milk. And finally I found a cereal that actually works within the

guidelines of my diet and I love it. And it's called Grainberry Cereals. And I met with Peter Harris. Was he and his father that created Grainberry Cereals and the purpose was to bring the healthiest, most natural choice to the cereal aisle. And you're gonna love it. And unlike most cereals that are high in sugar have corn syrup chemical additives, Grainberry is focused on controlling sugar levels and being hard healthy and Grainberry rather uses natural plant based fiber.

They have a ton of antioxidants. Grainberry cereal is healthy, it tastes great, which I love and is an all around healthy food choice. They have seven grainberry cereals like multi brand Flakes, honey nut, Original, toasted oats, apple, cinnamon. Linda loves the grainberry Raisin brand. Now, when you go to your grocery store, you might look in the cereal aisle and there's so many choices you're gonna have to you probably have to work hard to find it a

little bit. And maybe it's in the health food aisle, which tells you a lot about the cereal versus other cereals anyway, or maybe they don't have it in your local grocery store, although they're in a ton of big chains around the country. But when you go there, look for grain berry cereals and just try which one you think will be your favorite. Just try one and make you'll make the switch, and you'll know you made a

healthier switch. I mean, it's insane that the fruit loops they sell in Canada and Europe is so different than what we sell here because they don't have all the colorings and additives that the American version has. And I'm like, why wouldn't you make the healthy version in America. It's infuriating in some ways anyway, go to your local grocery store look for grainberry cereals today and if they don't

have it, ask your local grocer to get it. Anyway, It's the official a cereal of the Sean Hannity Show, and you're going to love it all right. Eight hundred ninety four one. Shawn is on number if you want

to be a part of the program. We played earlier House Democrats singing we Shall overcome after Al Green got censured for his little you know display the other night during the Joint Session, and the Left again angry, bitter, lashing out, no vision, defeated and now being reduced to this nineteen sixties reducts of chanting and singing, and absolutely out of touch with where the American people are as they continue to cling to being the champions of men's

rights to play women's sports, the rights of illegals, over the safety of Americans, endless wars. The only thing they cheered at the State of the Union the other night. And the party that puts the rights of you know, that is supportive of reckless spending for the radical Green new Deal abroad in foreign countries, transgender mice investigations that was a new one for me, didn't know about that one.

But DEI programs WOKESM, New Green Day, Transgenderism, LGB two, e Q plus ism, and they're spending hundreds of billions of dollars. I meanwhile, the country's going broke. Melanie. Congresswoman Melanie Stransbury, you know, yells, it's total BS towards Republicans during a sanctuary city hearing. Uh, listen to this. It's total.

Speaker 5

Absolute They are not making America safer again. And what they are doing is terrorizing immigrant families. That is what they are doing. Parents who are afraid to send their kids to school, parents who are afraid that they won't come home again, kids who are afraid to leave their houses, refugees who have waited for years to come into this country. And our mayors are sitting here and during this ridiculous, ridiculous hearing.

Speaker 2

All right, let's get to our phones. Jerry is in Missouri. Jerry are on the Sean Hannity Show.

Speaker 1

Hi, afternoon, chant I'll make this fast. I don't agree with a lot of what you say, but I got an education and political science from you and John Spicer, and you're mentioning the New Green Deal. I am so tired of people like AOC that want to inflict this on us. But based on her behavior the met Galla several years ago, she wants rules to apply to the rest of us but not to her. And the last thing that Miss Okazio Court has has a right to

lecture any of us about is ethics. I know you have other callers, hope you have a good Well.

Speaker 2

Why don't we have a conversation until you instead of just rushing off the phone. Okay, so you're a Democrat? Okay, okay, all right, So tell me what part of did you like any anything about how your party behaved at the State of the Union of the night? Do you think it was appropriate for them not to stand for the president, the first lady, or a thirteen year old boy that survived cancer, for the parents, for the mothers that lost

their children, who unvetted Biden Harris illegals. Do you think they should have stood for this thirteen year old cancer survivor should they have stood or Jason Hartley who was informed he's going to West Point? Do you think do you think that's appropriate behavior? Did you like them holding up their bingo signed cards? Did you like Al Green interrupting the joint session.

Speaker 1

No, it was wrong, and it reminded me more of dancing with the stars than anything else. No, some of those people I do like people that my wife stems the day and he's been a preschool teacher.

Speaker 2

For Okay, but this is your party. These are the people that you tend to agree with in support. So let me ask you. The Senate Democrats just this week on the issue of fight for men's rights to play in women's sports, do you agree with that?

Speaker 1

Not at all? Lea Thomas shouldn't have happened, and I hope it doesn't pass. Yeah, and he could.

Speaker 2

I appreciate your honesty, but they're the ones that prevented that bill from becoming law. Next question. The Democrats now are and you just you just heard one of the Melanie Stansbury, are fighting for the rights of illegal immigrants. We have chronicle that we have known terrorists, murderers, rapists, other violent criminals, cartel members and gang members and drug dealers that were allowed some fourteen million of them into

our country illegally. Doesn't it make sense to secure our border and to deport those people that didn't respect our laws, our borders, and our sovereignty.

Speaker 1

Very much so. My wife and I were briefly Mexico for a while about twenty years ago, and it will still happen. We shouldn't be naive about that.

Speaker 2

But we're now at a fifteen year low in terms of illegal crossings thanks to Donald Trump becoming the president and Joe Biden kept saying he needed Congress's help.

Speaker 1

He did not.

Speaker 2

All right, next question, So far you're passing the test with flying colors. You're doing very well. I'm very proud of you. Now the Democratic Party also is screaming bloody murder as Elon Musk and Doge have discovered what is tens and tens and tens of billions of dollars, he thinks that the number will be higher than a trillion when all's said and done, of money spent abroad, meaning in other countries, on programs like DEI and the New Green Deal, and transgenderism and woke ism and lgbtq ism.

Do you think American taxpayer dollars when we have a nearly forty trillion dollar deficit, when the average American only makes sixty six grand a year, do you think they're harder and money should be wasted this way because I do.

Speaker 1

Not, and neither do I and the Democrats a better wake up because I'm not sure it happened. I talked to the other Sean. I share a birth date with him, and know if the twenty second Amendment get to get overturned, and it may happen if the Democrats keep acting this way. Mister Trump is not perfect, but he's a heck of a lot better than what the Democrats are offering us.

And the Republicans sort of shop themselves in the foot back around the time I was born by having that enacted, because the only people that could have won a third term didnt the enactment were Republicans. Mister, let me.

Speaker 2

Ask this question. Do you want do you believe in no bad laws, defund dismantle the police?

Speaker 1

No, it'd be I guess my best interest. I have a nephew that is working in law enforcement.

Speaker 2

No, okay, you sound very reasonable. Do you do you do you support the idea that America balances its budget?

Speaker 1

Yeah, it's going to be difficult, but yeah, Well then.

Speaker 2

I'm trying to understand you because you sound like a very nice man. I can tell by the sound of your voice and you're intellectually honest. Why do you consider yourself a Democrat? Because it's not one issue I've brought up here that your party now represents that you support. Why do you why do you? Why do you identify as a Democrat? Did you vote for Kamala Harris?

Speaker 1

Well, here in Missouri, it didn't matter because mister Trump carried.

Speaker 2

It doesn't matter. I'm asking who you voted for.

Speaker 1

I voted for, and I'll be frank, I held my nose. I think I would have been more enthusiastic and would probably disagree on this. I would have been more enthused to vote for Biden, and I think the Democrats were wrong to throw him under the bus.

Speaker 2

Okay, but you voted for Kamala.

Speaker 1

Reluctantly.

Speaker 2

Reluctantly, Let me ask you. Kamala wanted to be a taxpayer funded sex change operations for illegals. Kamala Harris, after the five hundred and seventy four riots, said on National TV that the rioters shouldn't stop, wouldn't stop, and that she's not going to stop supporting them. That sounds like supportive insurrection to me, which seemed to be the biggest deal to Democrats about one riot, and these were five hundred and seventy four that killed dozens and injured thousands

of cops and caused billions in property damage. I'm just can you tell me one party? Is there one thing that you agree with the Democrats on? Tell me what you you think they're doing.

Speaker 1

Well, we'll be changed by registration eventually. I just haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm a house husband on social Security, and.

Speaker 2

What does that? What does a house husband? I don't even know what that means.

Speaker 1

That means I stay home and the wife works. She's a preschool teacher.

Speaker 2

I'm okay, but you're you're but you're a retirement age. You're just a retiree. I think, didn't you work for the rest of you most of your life? Uh?

Speaker 1

Yeah, starting in journalism, Uh work most of my life and food service if I was still working in food service. I like mister Trump's idea of no tax on tips or overtime for that matter. He might be playing to a crowd sometimes, but so.

Speaker 2

Do the I don't think he's playing to a crowd because he's pushing hard to implement promise. I don't think that's playing to a crowd. I think that's a promise made that he intends on keeping. You know, you just you sound like a very very nice man, you really do. And it sounds like you're waking up to how intellectually void the Democratic Party has become.

Speaker 1

And that's why that's why they're scared. Even with his imperfections, mister Trump is better than anything the Democratic Party is offering us now. And going back to Miss Harris for a second, I don't think any of those riots, or many of those riots happened in California. I think a couple happened up.

Speaker 2

No, she was talking in general. There were five hundred and seventy four of them, and she went on TV in the middle of it and said that they're not going to stop. They shouldn't stop, and we're not going to stop supporting them. And they were pelting bricks, rocks, bottles, Bolotov cocktails at Copsy. We had two dozen dead Americans, we had billions in property damage, and no Democrats seem to care about that quote Rioter and sorit. Those riots

are insurrection. But listen, I got to run. I spent a lot of time, and I think it was just worthwhile. But Jerry and Missouri. I think I changed that that registration suit of them later. I don't think this party is your party anymore. This party does not represent one thing that you support. But I do appreciate your call. I'm glad you're listening and you are a retiree. You're not a house husband, even though your wife is still working, and God bless you, and I wish you and your

family the best. Eight hundred nine four one, Shawn is a number if you want to be a part of the program. Why does he identify as a Democrat? I didn't get that. Well, he lives in California. It's just, you know, par for the course. I'm just saying it's he lives in Missouri, he said, Or did he say he moved to California.

Speaker 1

Oh?

Speaker 6

I thought he said he was in California. Well, regardless, I just feel like there's a lot of group think, and I also think that people of a certain age are kind of like those Reagan Democrats and Kennedy Republicans. It was a time when people were a little bit more to the center on both sides of the aisle. Now we have ticks on both sides and just a bunch of people trying to run the country in the middle.

Speaker 2

In my opinion, that's why I thought it would be worthwhile to go through the exercise of finding out where he stands on these issues. All Right, that's going to wrap things up at today Hannity Tonight, nine Eastern on the Fox News Channel. Loaded up, We'll check in with Rick Ronell, Tom Holman Tonight, Stephen Miller Tonight, Clay Travis, Horace, Cooper, Sergio Gore. It's that you DVR nine eastern Hannity on Fox News.
