Sean Hannity: "We don't want the extended unemployment benefits ... we're all designed to provide goods and services for our fellow human beings"

Hannity: End extended unemployment benefits, because "God created us to provide goods and services for others"

From the May 12, 2021, edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Sean Hannity Show

SEAN HANNITY (HOST): The answer is to do what states like South Carolina, Florida, now a bunch of others are doing, and that is we don't want the extended unemployment benefits. We want our states getting back to work, and normal life.

And if you're one of those people that thinks you're better off staying home, there's nothing worse than having nothing to do in your life every day.

And I can tell you, you need to -- we're all designed to provide goods and services for our fellow human beings. What does that do for your self confidence, your self-worth, if all of your friends are out working all day, and you're laying in bed, sleeping until noon, and watching soap operas all afternoon, or whatever the hell you're watching all day? Or binge-watching the latest Netflix or Prime videos, or whatever? 

God created us to provide goods and services for others, and in the meantime, it keeps you busy, keeps you out of trouble, and you begin to feel good about yourself.
