SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Now on the economy, we got a lot of news in today. And if you listen to the mainstream media, the doom and gloom, even they had predicted that the sky would be falling. And the GDP report this morning showed very slight negative economic growth, three tenths of 1% in the first quarter, which had the Democratic media pretending that, "Oh, the economy is collapsing." Well, it's anything but, especially when you look at the -- deeper into the numbers. In fact, the Democrats and their experts were actually predicting -- frankly, hoping for -- a much bigger decline based on the doom and gloom predictions from Jerome Powell's Federal Reserve. But just last week, the Atlanta Fed was even telling us that the first quarter GDP would go off the cliff with a whopping 2.7% decline. That would be a full nine times worse than today's actual number. The GDP drop was actually supposed to be much worse.
