SEAN HANNITY (HOST): I don't care if the government shuts down. Our military will still be defending us, we'll still have Border Patrol working, we'll have law enforcement working. We will also have Social Security and Medicaid provided to the elderly in this country, those in need will get their checks, et cetera. Doesn't scare me, never has, never will.
But Schumer, the Democrats, they better be careful here. Shutting down the government means the White House and the Office of Management and Budget, OMB, they got a lot of control over what will stay open and what will be closed. Essential services, our military, again, they will continue. But for all those deep state bureaucrats in DC, many of which probably need to move to the public sector, you might actually be looking at the greatest, well, economic Washington bureaucracy jiu-jitsu in history and that would be DOGE 2.0. So good luck Chuck, good luck Hakeem, be careful what you wish for.
