SEAN HANNITY (HOST): Chuckie Schumer, Hakeem Jeffries, others claiming people will die if this "One Big Beautiful Bill" is in fact passed, when in reality, no such thing is true. If you look over ten years, for example, Medicaid spending will go up 78%. If you look at Medicare spending, it will go up 65%. If you look at Social Security, it will go up 73%. And if we don't get interest rates down, that's going to go up nearly 300%. So it is a real, clear, present danger, but that doesn't stop them and  won't stop them from lying and trying to scare seniors.
