SEAN HANNITY (HOST): As part of any negotiation, assuming that the White House at some point will have to negotiate if the Republicans stay united, can part of that negotiation be defunding the hiring of the 87,000 IRS agents? Can that happen? Can Republicans make that happen?

JIM JORDAN (GUEST): First bill we passed out of the Congress under Speaker McCarthy's leadership -- It still sits over there in the Senate. We should insist on that and some other good measures. But most importantly what I think we need is a No Shutdown Act so that when we get to September, Joe Biden can't say we're going to shut down the government unless you keep spending at these ridiculous levels that he and the Democrats want.
