From the May 15, 2020, edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show:
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): On the coronavirus politics, I mean, do we really need to dissect anymore of Nancy Pelosi's 3 trillion dollar socialist dream, bailout blue states that have bloated budgets, waste, fraud and abuse bill, marijuana shops, et cetera?
...
I don't like the talk of any money going to blue states like -- even, to my own detriment, like New York. Why? Because New York has -- is responsible for more waste, more fraud, more abuse, just like California, just like Illinois, just like New Jersey and other blue states.
...
Why should citizens in red states be burdened with the waste, fraud, abuse of all these blue states that waste all this money? If they want to pay, if their policy in their state -- and I believe in the states rights, if they want to elect governors that create a socialist hell for the people in their state, that's their business, but if they don't fund their pensions and they don't make smart decisions in terms of how the state should be making money, and they tax their citizens out of the state which is why you see a mass exodus from these blue states, you can't ask people that elect responsible government officials, governors, state representatives, senators, that don't -- that aren't involved in waste, fraud and abuse, that don't tax the citizens of their state to death, that fund their pensions as they go along.
