SEAN HANNITY (HOST): So, we now have a whopping, oh, 20-some-odd -- I don't know what the final tally is at this moment -- Democratic senators uploading videos of themselves reading the same identical cringey script bashing Trump and Musk. The same thing. I don't know if they didn't think they'd get caught. I have no idea. I mean -- but they're all reading the same script as if this is an organic moment by each and every one. It's not. 

Now, Rush used to talk about seminar callers to talk radio shows. We have seen an uptick in callers that I promise you are scripted and on-message. "What about DOGE and what about my friend, the veteran, who lost their job?" Which, by the way, there are people losing their jobs, and my heart does go out to them, but these are jobs that nobody should have been hired for in the first place. I have a bigger problem with that. 

But, the good news is is there will be huge opportunities. We have this Taiwan chip company now is going to spend 100 billion dollars, 500 billion by Apple, Nissan, Honda, plans to build plants in Mexico have now decided to move them to the US, thanks to Donald Trump. You know, I know the stock market is skittish as it is, which is fine with me, and I've always said the stock market's not my barometer of the economy. We have other economic news indicating that just Trump's presence, it's not his economy yet, is causing inflation to be driven down, but it's going to take time. And that's why Republicans need to get moving on that. But there are over 20 senators, you know, 20-some-odd senators now. It's cringey, it's bizarre, and it's weird.
