LYNDA MCLAUGHLIN (PRODUCER): Sean, I just wanted to say one thing to you before -- it's actually perfectly with that last caller. We have been getting tons of phone calls about the no tax on tip, no tax on social security, no tax on overtime. And I just wanted to say, for all of you that are calling in and cursing out Katie because Sean didn't say it right, please talk to your tax, you know, person, your accountant, whoever you use to do your taxes.
SEAN HANNITY (HOST): What do you mean I didn't say it right?
MCLAUGHLIN: Well, what they're saying is it's not true, that there are taxes. And so up to a certain amount, it's tax free. There are still a percentage of social security that can be taxed based upon your current income if you have some sort of other income, if you have other things on your tax return. So, it's not a hard and fast rule across the board. There is fine print as there is with everything. The no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on --
HANNITY: That goes up to a certain amount. I think it's $12,000. But, I mean, I've gone into -- well, maybe I just haven't said it recently.
MCLAUGHLIN: We're saying the platitude. I'm just letting the audience know. Nobody's trying to lead you astray. You know? Talk to your tax, you know, person. Talk to your accountant.
