Sean Hannity dives into the Democratic Party's growing internal rift, with mounting calls to replace Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer over his handling of health care and government funding. Dr. Oz joins the show to dissect the legacy and failures of Obamacare, shining a light on soaring premiums, expanding subsidies, and how insurance companies have reaped massive profits while millions lost doctors and affordable coverage. Sean frames the discussion as proof that the Democratic approach has enriched corporate interests at the expense of working Americans, pointing out that COVID-era policies have fueled unprecedented spending and systemic abuse. Highlighting Dr. Oz's expertise and innovative ideas, the episode underscores why transparent, cost-effective health solutions matter now more than ever.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hour two Sean Hannity's show, Toll Free are numbers eight
hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program. So this Democratic Party
civil war, political civil wars broken out, Calls now for
Schumer's head getting louder and louder, as we've been discussing today.
And if you listen to Democrats, you know you would
think that this is all about the Affordable Care Act,
(00:23):
better known as Obamacare, as our friend Mark Simone so
so brilliantly categorized it yesterday. Well, if it's the Affordable
Care Act, how come you need subsidies to be able
to afford it? And remember the Democrats, they're the ones
that put together this bill during COVID. They're the ones
that designed these extra subsidies who expire to be temporary
(00:46):
just to get through the pandemic. They're the ones that
tried to die on this hill. But it was more
than that. It was, you know, hundreds of billions of
dollars for healthcare for illegals. It was funding MPR, it
was funding PBS, that was funding DEI programs abroad one
point five trillion dollars. Forty two days later, and they
(01:06):
have nothing to show for. But what they're trying to
now do is spin this into a narrative that is
frankly false.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
In a moment, we'll be joined.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
By doctor Oz and he's just going to lay out
the truth and the facts, something that just escapes this
radical democratic socialist Party and why they'd want to double
down on Obamacare. Millions lost their doctors, millions lost their plans.
Fully forty percent of the country has one Obamacare exchange option,
usually not very good if you look at the economics
(01:38):
of it. And I explained this in some detail in
the last hour. The reality is the people that got
got rich, you know, are the insurance company and just
Thenews dot Com at a big exposee on this, the
subsidies greatly expanded by the Biden administration. But the the
insurance companies, they're the ones that they've been four underd
(02:00):
billion dollars on the shutdown of Democrats. Their stock has
gone up one thousand percent plus since Obamacare has been
in place.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
They're the ones that have benefited.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Here's Hakim Jeffers talking about this issue because they want
to make a pivot to this as though this is
the defining issue of our time, and it is because
we could do so much better, which we'll get into
in a minute. Leader Jefferys just very quickly, yes or no?
Do you rule out supporting a bill that would include
a promise to vote on Obamacare subsidies?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Or no.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
I don't think that.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I don't think that the House Democratic Caucus is prepared
to support a promise, a wing and a prayer from
folks who have been devastating the healthcare of the American
people for years.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Now, what you just heard is an outright lie.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Republicans have better solutions, better ideas, innovative, creative ideas. We've
talked at length about them on the show. We'll get
into it with doctor Oz. Here's Chucky Schumer, same topic.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
If you put forward a proposal that we can read
that you reference in your speech which says a clean
continued resolution with the extension of the ACA, Biden COVID.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
Credits Yes, as we spoke yesterday, so there is I
will not be interrupted now.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
My question is there a proposal in writing that we
can read.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
There is a proposal that is very simple. First, you
haven't put your proposed AC your proposed fix to the ACA.
The new one, which Leader through is spoken about on
the floor, so we can't give you a counter in writing.
But it's very simple because we have two sentences. We
would add to any proposal which would extend the ACA
(03:40):
benefits for one year. That's all plain and simple, and
the Leader can put that in his proposal on opening
up the government, so it doesn't need a vote. It
can't be blocked by anybody. It's the right thing to do.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
It does still have no income caps, so people who
make a million to two three million dollars, as you said,
if you would.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Have listened to my speech yesterday, once we passed the
one year fix, so people right now aren't in difficulty,
we would sit and negotiate that the Leader has said
he won't negotiate before. We're willing to negotiate once the
credits are extended, plain and simple, and we made that
in our proposal yesterday.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
So for one year, people making millions of dollars would
still receive these covid ear subsidies.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
The bottom line is the senator from Ohio ignores that
ninety nine percent of people. You want to hurt people
making ten thousand, fifty ninety thousand, and hold this up.
We can fix what the gentleman said in a negotiation,
but don't have people who are every day being hurt,
(04:46):
hurt by paying thousands of dollars more that they can't afford.
I know that the senator from Ohio cares about the billionaires.
We care about average working people. I yield the floor.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
So just to be clear, just to be.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
All right, So, the nation's largest health care providers, they've
seen nothing but great business and great profits because of
all of the Democrats. When insurance companies found net earnings
ballooning over two hundred and sixteen percent, and Americans that
not only did the average family not save twenty five
(05:23):
hundred dollars on average per year as promised, they're paying
anywhere from two hundred and twenty five percent to three
hundred percent more, and their coverage is lousy. One study
found weighted average of health insurance stock prices has grown
a whopping one thoy thirty two percent four hundred and
forty eight percent from twenty thirteen, in a massive amount
(05:46):
of money.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Joining us now is our friend doctor Oz, seventeenth administrator
for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He has
been immersed in all of this for the longest time.
He belie leaves in healthcare innovation, he believes in modernization,
he believes in telemedicine, health savings accounts. He believes in
(06:08):
healthcare cooperatives. Doctor Oiz, welcome back.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Thank you for having me Sean. You know, just to
comment on Senator Schumer's oratory. You know what he's talking
about is not happening the marketplace. On average, the average
person's premiums next year, if nothing is done, is going
to be about fifty dollars on average for the original
Obamacare population. That's thirteen dollars more on average than this year.
(06:35):
So when he's insulting the senator for Ohio and saying
he only cares about millionaires, the reason the millionaire is
should comes up is because when thesessay for articles talk
about all these huge premium increases, they're often talking about
a sixty two year old with one hundred and twenty
five to thirty thousand dollars pension, and because of that
amount of money that's coming in passively, they don't get
to have free healthcare insurance in the original Obamacare. But
(06:57):
let's just take a step back for a second, because
this is really criticals. You laid it out brilliantly as always,
when Obamacare was passed, it was addressing people making one
and four times to poverty level. Let's just say a
property level sixteen thousand dollars, so people make it under
sixty sixty five thousand dollars. That's what was designed for
the COVID era additions the Democrats made added additional subsidies
(07:19):
beyond the eighty percent subsidy that already existed. So you're
already getting eight out of ten dollars paid for by
the government. Now you're getting the ninth dollar paid for
by the government, and they gave it to people who
were making more than four times property. In fact, there
was no cap. You can make as much money as
you want, as long as you meet their criteria, you
could get subsidies. So there's a lot of people who
are making pretty good money.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well by no cap, does that mean a wealthy person
could have gotten on if they didn't have insurance with
their retirement plan, they could have gotten on, and even
though they were worth millions, not.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Could have That's what's happening now. It's not common, but
it definitely happens and if you're making you know, one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, and again as
a pensioner, so your public pension pays for you, and
you're getting healthcare from that public union. Guess what the
public unions do. They say, you know what, get the
insurance from the government. We don't have to pay for it.
We'll save our money and put it into pensions. Well,
(08:09):
you know, we'll give you money in other ways. You
just go ahead and move on to the government because
it's so lucrative and the government's paying for it. But
what that does is cheat the system. Here's what the
Republicans stand for. Because I don't think we should spend
our time talking about how crazy bad a system was
created by the Obamacare model that with the added COVID subsidies.
(08:30):
Let's talk about what the Republican Party can do if
we open government and we can bring back all the
actual areas and the insurance experts that work in government.
The people who know this business realized what was done
by the Democrats is bad policy. It stimulates fraud. And
I'll give you one bit of information if you remember
nothing else from this interview. For all the listeners, out there.
Remember this, If you had insurance, would you use it? Sean,
(08:52):
that's a question for you. If you had insurance what
you have now, if you went to a drug store
for medication or to a doctor for a procedure, would
you use Okay. So it turns out that of the
twenty four million people who are on the Obamacare role
right now, last year, twelve million people did not file
a claim. Is that a little surprising? And here's the
part that stuns me. Historically, historically there was always going
(09:16):
to be some people who didn't file claims, let's just say,
and the number happens to be around four million people
a year nine twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one,
twenty twenty two, it was, you know, four million. Roughly
last year eleven million people filed no claims. What happened,
Here's what happened. As part of the covid era subsidies.
The Democrats said, from now on, no premium. Forget about
(09:38):
a low premium or twenty five dollars premium, or have
been a five dollar premium, zero nada. You don't have
to pay anything. It's yours for free. When you do that,
people who don't realize they have insurance are getting signed up.
You literally have people who the first time they find
out they had insurance is the next year when their
tax bill comes due, because you know, these are subsidies
off your taxing because you're getting you getting taxed on,
(10:00):
you're on the money you're making because you're working. Theoretically,
they get a build the taxi iOS sends them, but
notes say hey, by the way, you had insurance last year.
We're going to charge you for that. And they said,
what are you talking about, I never had insurance. That
turns out, just that little phenomenon hundreds of thousands of
people in that group, but we think total four point
four million people were improperly enrolled, which means you, the
(10:21):
federal taxpayer, are paying full freight insurance top dollar to
all these insurance companies, which, as you point out, are
doing really well. Because if you give an insurance company
money for insurance and nobody picks up the phone and
calls to get the money because they're not they don't
know they have the insurance. Guess what happens to the money.
It goes to the bottom line of the insurance company,
and they're therefore worth more. And this is the hypocrisy
(10:42):
of the Democratic Party. They pretend day care. They their
instinctive have Lovan response to a problem is to throw
money at it. And so during COVID, the Democrats threw
money at a system that did not need more money,
or if it did need it, they needed it for
a year. Here we are three years later. They decided,
the Democrats decided this is not a good idea long term.
(11:04):
We're going to have it go away. They thought they
were going to win the election last year. They figured
they deal with it. No one can plain because, oh
my gosh, it's so lucrative. Now they're using it as
a weapon. They don't care at all about this ICA
issue aside from its political value. That's why when they
started barking up the tree of repealing the one Big
Beautiful Bill. And last week we identified that our claims
(11:26):
that illegal immigrants are pulling down federal tax dollars over
a billion dollars. We identified that we released last week.
As soon as we said that, they stopped talking about
that because he caught them, you know, they were lying
and saying, well, there's no illegal immigrants getting health care.
There's absolutely legal immigrants. A lot of them still pulling
down healthcare and they're not putting on any old healthcare.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Do we have the number of people and how much
did you say? They're getting one.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Point three billion dollars. There are six states were analyzing,
you know, California, Illinois, New York, Oregon, and Washington. They're
six states and we're just starting only over a couple
of months. But again, why does this have to be done?
We know what's happening. If you give people a governor
of money from the federal government and say, hey, you
know what, I don't know. I'm not going to check.
(12:11):
So if you happen to give it the illegal immigrants,
you know, we're not going to you know, make a
big deal about it. And you literally sort of telegraph that.
What happens it all of a sudden it finds its
way into the illegal immigrant healthcare and Sean, the problem is,
you know you live in Florida. Why are federal attached
payers in Florida who are not obliged in Florida to
pay for legal immigrants? Why is that money being shunted
to California so you can pick up illegal immigrant health
(12:33):
care costs. It's not right, It's it's not the law,
one big beautiful bill.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Stop that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
When the Democrats are realizing they're getting caught, they're just
jumping to the next told stool so they can just
keep me progging ahead of us. That's why as soon
as this shutdown is, I'm praying averted, and you know
we not averted ended tomorrow. Now we're going to get
ayone back to work again. We have tons of ideas.
Let's put them together. The President's been reviewing them. Let's
(12:59):
get the ones that make the most sense from a
business perspective and a society perspective. I want to help people.
I don't want to pretend that I'm helping people or
you're a pontificate about helping people. We want to create
programs that are viable. Otherwise Obamacare will implode under its
weight from poor policies.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Quick break more with our friend doctor oz. He is
the administrator for the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services. What
is the right healthcare plan? What should you be looking
at for you? You and your family will get to
that on the other side, and your calls coming up
eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn. As we continue,
we held over our friend, doctor oz He is now
(13:38):
the administrator for the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, and
you know, all of the lining that's gone on about healthcare,
he's basically set the record straight. So I think it's
a fair question that most people have on their mind
because a lot of people, you know, they're busy with
their day to day lives. They're not getting into the
weeds of reading about different healthcare options and plans. For example,
(14:01):
like young people, I would recommend, you know, they get,
you know, a plan that has included in it a
check up every year if God forbid they need stitches
or you know, they break a leg or have an accident.
You know, you can get catastrophic insurance with as high
deductible as you can afford. And guess what, You're going
to pay a lot less for insurance and you're going
(14:21):
to be fully covered, especially for somebody that you know
is generally in good health. But telemedicine is also the future.
It's happening now. Health care savings accounts. I always love
that idea, and you accumulate money throughout your young years
and you take it into your older years when most
people need the money for health care or you know,
(14:41):
if you die quickly, that money goes to your family.
The other thing is healthcare cooperatives. Our friend, doctor Josh
Umber fifty bucks a month for adults unlimited care doctors
available twenty four to seven. He negotiated at Atlas MD
for health care prescriptions with directly with pharmaceutical companies ninety
percent discount. Leave the doctor's office with the medicine you need.
(15:06):
Where do you see healthcare going? And what should people
be looking for for their family's healthcare?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You need a coach the number one most important thing,
and we're trying to do this at CMS, which is
the centers for Medicare and Medicaid that I administered. Last week,
we put a rule out because is you know, when
you change policies, how you do it, And we said
we're going to take two and a half percent from
all the specialists like me, you know, my heart surgeon,
and give that two and a half percent salary to
all the primary care doctors, the general practitioners, the guys
(15:35):
who on the street corner who you can actually go
get advice from about day to day issues, including the
ones you mentioned, the ones Josh for example, takes care
of and so by getting a coach in your life
who's got enough expertise to help you in a bind
when you have a problem, it's not some abstract concept.
He can holistically begin to manage you. Hey, you know, Sean,
I know you like to work out every day, and
I think your back pay might be from the working out.
(15:57):
Maybe you can change that a little bit litt a
little less jujitsu, a little more on peloton. I mean,
whatever the advice is, it's customized to you. But you
said something really important that you can actually negotiate drug prices.
That's what we've been doing. I bet you when we
look forward to the biggest health issue in the next election,
it's going to be the fact that that Trump RX
is a transparent, easy way for every American, every American
(16:21):
to see the actual best price for the drugs you're taking.
The sticker shock that afflicts one in three people prescribe
the medication from a doctor like me, and they go
to the pharmacy and I don't know what it costs.
When I literally write the prescription, the patient doesn't find
out that they're trying to pay and pick it up,
and all of a sudden they think, oh my gosh,
a thousand bucks. I can't afford that. And they run
away and they can't tell anybody because they're embarrassed right
(16:42):
now in Shawn in America. And the President goes crazy
with this, and he is a fantastic leader, I mean
just spectacular with this kind of stuff. He sees a
problem as a businessman, he says, you got to negotiate
to fix it. So he says, every American on average,
is paying three times more for the exact same drug
and the same bottle made the same fact actually as
they pay in Europe. Wrong should not happen. Global freeloading
(17:04):
has to stop. So he charged us. And as you know,
because he does this to you, he calls you, calls you,
called you because you've got ideas and concepts. He wants
to check in so with me, Secretary Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
He calls all right, all hours of the day and night.
You never know when that call is coming.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
In when the odd hour call comes, it's from him. Anyway,
So the President, you know, I've got on this. And
as you know, last week we did the fourth of
these big announcements that with the leading US company, leading
European company, the all the fertility drugs. And now last week,
all the weight loss drugs will be sold at a
price that is dramatically lower. It's probably one fifth price
(17:39):
the actual list price of these drugs, and that's the
price they sold for in Europe. So now, and I'll
tell you that that announcement is really important for two reasons.
It takes care of a moral hazard. Now poor people
who are gaining weight and having problems have the opportunity
if they wish to get this drug. The number one place,
number one zip code for these drugs being used as
the upper East side of Manhattan. Not where the obesity
(18:01):
epidemic is crushing us. It's crushing us an Appalachia, Mississippian
rural parts of the country. So now we have a
pathway to giving medications to all those folks. And this
is a really good part. It saves us so much
by reducing diabetes and high pertension and all the downstream
problems gidney failure, heart attacks, throw a kidney, the liver problems.
They all get better, or at least they don't get worse.
(18:23):
And that actually will save us so much money that
we're actually the federal taxpayer is going to save money
with this deal within the next two years and over time,
it's going to be a massive benefit. So when you
look at the overall architecture of the healthcare landscape, the
most important thing we need to do as your guardians
of the taxpayer dollar and you need to do as
an individual is negotiate, ask, and we're insisting on transparency
(18:45):
now and within the next six to eight months, you'll
have tools that will give you complete transparency and the
cost of drugs, the cost of hospital, the hospital, your
doctors bill everything, so you don't get surprised, and then
you should be a smart user of the system. You know,
I'm not going to pay you XYZ for an set
scan when it's half the price across town. I'm not
going to pay three times more than the Europeace run
(19:06):
weight loss drug Trump all x has it for the
actual price that they negotiated for me. And this is
something that we've really struggled with in this country. We've
not had business people running these agencies. And now because
of the President attracting in top kit talent, you have
folks who made a lot of money negotiating because that's
what you do when you're making money. Now using that
(19:26):
same insight those same talents to protect the American taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay, now let me ask you if you've brought up
weight loss drugs. I guess that's o Zepic and Manchuro
and I don't know the names of all of them.
Zep Bound is that one of them? And I know
a number of people that have gotten on these medications.
I can name three of them that lost over one
hundred pounds. You know, I'm not a doctor, but everything
(19:54):
I read about him is it's heart healthy.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
To me, it's common sense.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
One of the best things you can do for your
health is have a healthy weight. Are they how do
you feel about them as a medical doctor.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Well, I want.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
To emphasize that obesity is not a deficiency of JLP
one drugs in your bloodstream, So medications are not essential.
Like you're very fit person, you work out all the time,
you watch what you eat, and so those are the
main ways that you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Bi the way.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I hate that part of my life watching what I eat.
I hate the fact that I can't eat everything that
I want. I hate it. I want to eat everything.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Well, in your case, is you know what's the last
thing you eat before you fall sep at two in
the morning. That's the one that gets you. But for
a lot of people, they know where their weaknesses are
and they have to work every day to guard against it,
and that's how they stay fit. But there are some
people shown, for whatever reason, are hardwired to keep going,
keep eating when they shouldn't, and they put on a
lot of weight and their body gets inflamed, as you know,
(20:54):
and they paid the price for those people. These drugs
are spectacularly effective, as you point out, twenty weight loss
on average on average, so people lose more than that.
You have to keep working out. But I think of
them as a crutch. They are a way to get
you back to your fighting weight. It gets you gets
you to a place where you have a better chance,
because you know, when you're two hundred and seventy five pounds,
(21:14):
losing the seventy five pounds is really hard, but once
you're down to two hundred, the staying there is a
lot easier. All of a sudden, you can walk, you
sleep better, you know, a lot of things start to
shape up in your life. You're not depressed about the
weight you put on. So I see these a huge
win and at the price we were able to negotiate, which
was not easy. And you've got people at Chris Klomp
and John Brooks and THENDEZ, you know, Steph Carlton are
(21:36):
re top talent people fighting this battle. We were able
to get prices that the President insisted on and.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Those are the most he called the most favored nation
pricing because all these countries that have socialized medicine were
insisting on getting him for next to nothing or else
they they wouldn't get them.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
And at the same time he did what he did
with NATO. He said, we're not going to bankrupt these
form of companies. We need them to be innovation, so
we don't want to destroy American innovation. So we have
to pay fair price, which means the Europeans have to
pay more, and we got to pay less than in NATO.
You know, you have an external threat Russia. We're going
to go. We'll help. We'll pay extra, but not a
lot extra. You got got to put in five percent
(22:14):
of your GDP. You've got to contribute fair amounts of
money so that we'll match you. And that's what we're
doing with the drug companies. We're helping them overseas make
sure they're fairly paid so they can stay innovative. American
workers get well paid. The scientists can keep you know,
finding new solutions to cancer cures and autoimmune catastrophes and
all kinds of challenges that our nation and our people face.
(22:35):
But other countries also benefit from US funding a lot
of the research. They have to pay their fair share.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Doctor Olisad. Now, we took a lot of extra time,
but I think it's very helpful. It's everybody cares about it,
everybody's impacted by it, and we appreciate your time, your
hard work. I wish people would listen a little bit
more to facts and truth than the lies and hyperbole
of the left, because they just you know, they scare
people just for the sake of of advancing a political agenda. Uh,
(23:02):
doctor Oz, appreciate it. Thanks for the good work you're doing.
Eight hundred nine one. Shawn is on number if you
want to be a part of the program, My Free
State of Florida. Pat next on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Hi, Yes, Sean. The reason I'm calling is that I
remember years ago that you were you were discussing the
ATA program, the Obamacare, and you articulated it so well
it was. It was ridiculous. It was absolutely no brainer.
Seventy percent of the country didn't want it, but we
got it anyway. Okay, I just I really wanted you
(23:34):
to really re reignite the conversation you obviously did. You
were like sixteen steps ahead of me, like always. But
I'm happy that you're you're doing so. And and the
points that you made over the years about the program itself.
People gotta really you got to you got to reignite
those those those facts about the programs itself. And again
(23:57):
it should be a no brainer considering we have a
win at this point, we have like eight Democrats that
are crossing the line now not looking for reelection, and
I think we can we can manage something. Just get
the government out of it, total repeal of the ACA.
Every time the government touches something. You look at the
post Office, they haven't made a penny profit in over
(24:20):
fifty years. And you look at Amtrak, government subsidized in it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
There's nothing that government does efficiently. This is what I
don't understand why the left, you know, clings to the
notion of the idea. You know that that of of
you know, government schools are horrible. Government health care. They
not only broke every promise, they they've made healthcare dramatically worse,
fewer options, paying more money than anyone ever dreamed. And
(24:48):
then they want to blame Republicans and throw more money
at what is a failed system. And you know, we
have something now called artificial intelligence. You know, for example,
radiologists are not going to exist in the future in
the sense that you know, there will be some but fewer,
but you're going to take scans and you're going to
give a hand them over to artificial intelligence. And I've
(25:09):
talked to radiologists that say, you know, they can pick
up things that no human eye can pick up in
terms of early detection of disease. I means that's the
longevity question, right, you know, health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, all
those things. I don't want to sound preachy or proselytizing,
but man, I mean the world's changing, Yes.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Indeed it is, and the government cannot well. The way
the government keeps up with the change rate is probably
twenty years behind time. If you go to free markets,
free markets are fluid. Free markets will will will resonate
with people because it would be able to produce success
so much faster, and that in itself will convince the
(25:55):
people at Bay that are against that, meaning the government.
Some of the government. They want to have control, Okay,
and I understand that, and that's that's basically why there
there's professional politicians. They want control, They enrich.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Themselves, they want the power that comes along with you
being dependent. Anyway, Pat, good call, my friend, God bless you.
All right, quick break, one more quick call on the
other side than We've got to honor our vets. This
is Veterans Day today. The President was at Arlington earlier.
Eight nine one, Shawn is a number if you want
to be on the show and be a part of
this program.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Unmasking the left and holding the right accountable for their promises.
America needs Hannity now more than ever. This is a
Sean Hannity show.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I'll get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred and
nine one. Steven Manhattan will get you in quick. We
have about a minute of twenty. It's all yours, gho, sir.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
As it going, Sean. And I'll tell you something. If
Papuchana would have became president, Midandi would be in Uganda
selling cheeseburgers today. Look, the left wing Democrats wanted to
basically make people get disturbed or the shutdown and really
went after everybody with this. They wanted to rev up
support for the election. But people should know the illegals
(27:49):
get healthcare through our emergencies rooms. They get it for
free and they also use nine to one.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
One as a cost service.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
So this is basically a scam that's done by the
Marxist Democrats now who are taking power. I mean listen,
Omar and all of them, and to lead and Alice
Cortez over in New York.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
These people are.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
Taking power in the Democratic Party. Does not spell good
for America. We have a healthcare system that was never fixed.
They kept throwing money at Medicare and Medicaid. They inflated
the system, and they kept adding more people through immigration,
and that's what caused it.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Americans.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Coverage went down and the quality of medical services went
down for a lot of Americans. We got to get
rid of the nineteen sixty five Immigration Act. Sean and
great talking to.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You, all right, my friend, God bless you. Listen.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
We just need to vet people. I don't care where
you come from. We need to do a background check.
No radical associations, A health check and you can't be
a financial burden on the American people. Go through that,
pay your way in and then welcome to our country.
Don't care where you come from. Don't there's not an
issue for me. Eight hundred and nine point one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program,
(28:58):
you know, through the Tunnel to Foundation, you can honor
the courage as sacrifices of our great heroes in this country,
first responders, military heroes, heroes like US Army Lieutenant Colonel
Christie Raebitz. Now Christie served our country with unwavering dedication
for twenty years. As a combat nurse. She provided life
(29:19):
saving care to wounded soldiers, including at Walter Reed National
Military Medical Center during the height of the Global War
on Terrorism. Now Christy was also a devoted wife, a mother,
a mentor whose life was rooted in compassion and love
and integrity. After six years of courageously battling service related cancer, sadly,
(29:40):
Christie's life was tragically cut short, leaving behind her husband
and their two children. Now, Tunnel to Towers, because of
your thoughtfulness and generosity, was able to honor Christie's service
and sacrifice by paying off the mortgage on her family's home.
Now you can help more families like Christie's. Please join

Hour two Sean Hannity's show, Toll Free are numbers eight
hundred and ninety four one, Sean, if you want to
be a part of the program. So this Democratic Party
civil war, political civil wars broken out, Calls now for
Schumer's head getting louder and louder, as we've been discussing today.
And if you listen to Democrats, you know you would
think that this is all about the Affordable Care Act,
(00:23):
better known as Obamacare, as our friend Mark Simone so
so brilliantly categorized it yesterday. Well, if it's the Affordable
Care Act, how come you need subsidies to be able
to afford it? And remember the Democrats, they're the ones
that put together this bill during COVID. They're the ones
that designed these extra subsidies who expire to be temporary
(00:46):
just to get through the pandemic. They're the ones that
tried to die on this hill. But it was more
than that. It was, you know, hundreds of billions of
dollars for healthcare for illegals. It was funding MPR, it
was funding PBS, that was funding DEI programs abroad one
point five trillion dollars. Forty two days later, and they
(01:06):
have nothing to show for. But what they're trying to
now do is spin this into a narrative that is
frankly false.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
In a moment, we'll be joined.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
By doctor Oz and he's just going to lay out
the truth and the facts, something that just escapes this
radical democratic socialist Party and why they'd want to double
down on Obamacare. Millions lost their doctors, millions lost their plans.
Fully forty percent of the country has one Obamacare exchange option,
usually not very good if you look at the economics
(01:38):
of it. And I explained this in some detail in
the last hour. The reality is the people that got
got rich, you know, are the insurance company and just
Thenews dot Com at a big exposee on this, the
subsidies greatly expanded by the Biden administration. But the the
insurance companies, they're the ones that they've been four underd
(02:00):
billion dollars on the shutdown of Democrats. Their stock has
gone up one thousand percent plus since Obamacare has been
in place.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
They're the ones that have benefited.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Here's Hakim Jeffers talking about this issue because they want
to make a pivot to this as though this is
the defining issue of our time, and it is because
we could do so much better, which we'll get into
in a minute. Leader Jefferys just very quickly, yes or no?
Do you rule out supporting a bill that would include
a promise to vote on Obamacare subsidies?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Or no.
Speaker 5 (02:33):
I don't think that.
Speaker 6 (02:34):
I don't think that the House Democratic Caucus is prepared
to support a promise, a wing and a prayer from
folks who have been devastating the healthcare of the American
people for years.
Speaker 2 (02:46):
Now, what you just heard is an outright lie.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Republicans have better solutions, better ideas, innovative, creative ideas. We've
talked at length about them on the show. We'll get
into it with doctor Oz. Here's Chucky Schumer, same topic.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
If you put forward a proposal that we can read
that you reference in your speech which says a clean
continued resolution with the extension of the ACA, Biden COVID.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
Credits Yes, as we spoke yesterday, so there is I
will not be interrupted now.
Speaker 7 (03:15):
My question is there a proposal in writing that we
can read.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
There is a proposal that is very simple. First, you
haven't put your proposed AC your proposed fix to the ACA.
The new one, which Leader through is spoken about on
the floor, so we can't give you a counter in writing.
But it's very simple because we have two sentences. We
would add to any proposal which would extend the ACA
(03:40):
benefits for one year. That's all plain and simple, and
the Leader can put that in his proposal on opening
up the government, so it doesn't need a vote. It
can't be blocked by anybody. It's the right thing to do.
Speaker 7 (03:56):
It does still have no income caps, so people who
make a million to two three million dollars, as you said,
if you would.
Speaker 8 (04:01):
Have listened to my speech yesterday, once we passed the
one year fix, so people right now aren't in difficulty,
we would sit and negotiate that the Leader has said
he won't negotiate before. We're willing to negotiate once the
credits are extended, plain and simple, and we made that
in our proposal yesterday.
Speaker 7 (04:20):
So for one year, people making millions of dollars would
still receive these covid ear subsidies.
Speaker 8 (04:26):
The bottom line is the senator from Ohio ignores that
ninety nine percent of people. You want to hurt people
making ten thousand, fifty ninety thousand, and hold this up.
We can fix what the gentleman said in a negotiation,
but don't have people who are every day being hurt,
(04:46):
hurt by paying thousands of dollars more that they can't afford.
I know that the senator from Ohio cares about the billionaires.
We care about average working people. I yield the floor.
Speaker 7 (04:58):
So just to be clear, just to be.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
All right, So, the nation's largest health care providers, they've
seen nothing but great business and great profits because of
all of the Democrats. When insurance companies found net earnings
ballooning over two hundred and sixteen percent, and Americans that
not only did the average family not save twenty five
(05:23):
hundred dollars on average per year as promised, they're paying
anywhere from two hundred and twenty five percent to three
hundred percent more, and their coverage is lousy. One study
found weighted average of health insurance stock prices has grown
a whopping one thoy thirty two percent four hundred and
forty eight percent from twenty thirteen, in a massive amount
(05:46):
of money.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
All right.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Joining us now is our friend doctor Oz, seventeenth administrator
for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. He has
been immersed in all of this for the longest time.
He belie leaves in healthcare innovation, he believes in modernization,
he believes in telemedicine, health savings accounts. He believes in
(06:08):
healthcare cooperatives. Doctor Oiz, welcome back.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Thank you for having me Sean. You know, just to
comment on Senator Schumer's oratory. You know what he's talking
about is not happening the marketplace. On average, the average
person's premiums next year, if nothing is done, is going
to be about fifty dollars on average for the original
Obamacare population. That's thirteen dollars more on average than this year.
(06:35):
So when he's insulting the senator for Ohio and saying
he only cares about millionaires, the reason the millionaire is
should comes up is because when thesessay for articles talk
about all these huge premium increases, they're often talking about
a sixty two year old with one hundred and twenty
five to thirty thousand dollars pension, and because of that
amount of money that's coming in passively, they don't get
to have free healthcare insurance in the original Obamacare. But
(06:57):
let's just take a step back for a second, because
this is really criticals. You laid it out brilliantly as always,
when Obamacare was passed, it was addressing people making one
and four times to poverty level. Let's just say a
property level sixteen thousand dollars, so people make it under
sixty sixty five thousand dollars. That's what was designed for
the COVID era additions the Democrats made added additional subsidies
(07:19):
beyond the eighty percent subsidy that already existed. So you're
already getting eight out of ten dollars paid for by
the government. Now you're getting the ninth dollar paid for
by the government, and they gave it to people who
were making more than four times property. In fact, there
was no cap. You can make as much money as
you want, as long as you meet their criteria, you
could get subsidies. So there's a lot of people who
are making pretty good money.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Well by no cap, does that mean a wealthy person
could have gotten on if they didn't have insurance with
their retirement plan, they could have gotten on, and even
though they were worth millions, not.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
Could have That's what's happening now. It's not common, but
it definitely happens and if you're making you know, one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year, and again as
a pensioner, so your public pension pays for you, and
you're getting healthcare from that public union. Guess what the
public unions do. They say, you know what, get the
insurance from the government. We don't have to pay for it.
We'll save our money and put it into pensions. Well,
(08:09):
you know, we'll give you money in other ways. You
just go ahead and move on to the government because
it's so lucrative and the government's paying for it. But
what that does is cheat the system. Here's what the
Republicans stand for. Because I don't think we should spend
our time talking about how crazy bad a system was
created by the Obamacare model that with the added COVID subsidies.
(08:30):
Let's talk about what the Republican Party can do if
we open government and we can bring back all the
actual areas and the insurance experts that work in government.
The people who know this business realized what was done
by the Democrats is bad policy. It stimulates fraud. And
I'll give you one bit of information if you remember
nothing else from this interview. For all the listeners, out there.
Remember this, If you had insurance, would you use it? Sean,
(08:52):
that's a question for you. If you had insurance what
you have now, if you went to a drug store
for medication or to a doctor for a procedure, would
you use Okay. So it turns out that of the
twenty four million people who are on the Obamacare role
right now, last year, twelve million people did not file
a claim. Is that a little surprising? And here's the
part that stuns me. Historically, historically there was always going
(09:16):
to be some people who didn't file claims, let's just say,
and the number happens to be around four million people
a year nine twenty nineteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty one,
twenty twenty two, it was, you know, four million. Roughly
last year eleven million people filed no claims. What happened,
Here's what happened. As part of the covid era subsidies.
The Democrats said, from now on, no premium. Forget about
(09:38):
a low premium or twenty five dollars premium, or have
been a five dollar premium, zero nada. You don't have
to pay anything. It's yours for free. When you do that,
people who don't realize they have insurance are getting signed up.
You literally have people who the first time they find
out they had insurance is the next year when their
tax bill comes due, because you know, these are subsidies
off your taxing because you're getting you getting taxed on,
(10:00):
you're on the money you're making because you're working. Theoretically,
they get a build the taxi iOS sends them, but
notes say hey, by the way, you had insurance last year.
We're going to charge you for that. And they said,
what are you talking about, I never had insurance. That
turns out, just that little phenomenon hundreds of thousands of
people in that group, but we think total four point
four million people were improperly enrolled, which means you, the
(10:21):
federal taxpayer, are paying full freight insurance top dollar to
all these insurance companies, which, as you point out, are
doing really well. Because if you give an insurance company
money for insurance and nobody picks up the phone and
calls to get the money because they're not they don't
know they have the insurance. Guess what happens to the money.
It goes to the bottom line of the insurance company,
and they're therefore worth more. And this is the hypocrisy
(10:42):
of the Democratic Party. They pretend day care. They their
instinctive have Lovan response to a problem is to throw
money at it. And so during COVID, the Democrats threw
money at a system that did not need more money,
or if it did need it, they needed it for
a year. Here we are three years later. They decided,
the Democrats decided this is not a good idea long term.
(11:04):
We're going to have it go away. They thought they
were going to win the election last year. They figured
they deal with it. No one can plain because, oh
my gosh, it's so lucrative. Now they're using it as
a weapon. They don't care at all about this ICA
issue aside from its political value. That's why when they
started barking up the tree of repealing the one Big
Beautiful Bill. And last week we identified that our claims
(11:26):
that illegal immigrants are pulling down federal tax dollars over
a billion dollars. We identified that we released last week.
As soon as we said that, they stopped talking about
that because he caught them, you know, they were lying
and saying, well, there's no illegal immigrants getting health care.
There's absolutely legal immigrants. A lot of them still pulling
down healthcare and they're not putting on any old healthcare.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
Do we have the number of people and how much
did you say? They're getting one.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Point three billion dollars. There are six states were analyzing,
you know, California, Illinois, New York, Oregon, and Washington. They're
six states and we're just starting only over a couple
of months. But again, why does this have to be done?
We know what's happening. If you give people a governor
of money from the federal government and say, hey, you
know what, I don't know. I'm not going to check.
(12:11):
So if you happen to give it the illegal immigrants,
you know, we're not going to you know, make a
big deal about it. And you literally sort of telegraph that.
What happens it all of a sudden it finds its
way into the illegal immigrant healthcare and Sean, the problem is,
you know you live in Florida. Why are federal attached
payers in Florida who are not obliged in Florida to
pay for legal immigrants? Why is that money being shunted
to California so you can pick up illegal immigrant health
(12:33):
care costs. It's not right, It's it's not the law,
one big beautiful bill.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Stop that.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
When the Democrats are realizing they're getting caught, they're just
jumping to the next told stool so they can just
keep me progging ahead of us. That's why as soon
as this shutdown is, I'm praying averted, and you know
we not averted ended tomorrow. Now we're going to get
ayone back to work again. We have tons of ideas.
Let's put them together. The President's been reviewing them. Let's
(12:59):
get the ones that make the most sense from a
business perspective and a society perspective. I want to help people.
I don't want to pretend that I'm helping people or
you're a pontificate about helping people. We want to create
programs that are viable. Otherwise Obamacare will implode under its
weight from poor policies.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Quick break more with our friend doctor oz. He is
the administrator for the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services. What
is the right healthcare plan? What should you be looking
at for you? You and your family will get to
that on the other side, and your calls coming up
eight hundred and nine to four one, Shawn. As we continue,
we held over our friend, doctor oz He is now
(13:38):
the administrator for the Centers for Medicare Medicaid Services, and
you know, all of the lining that's gone on about healthcare,
he's basically set the record straight. So I think it's
a fair question that most people have on their mind
because a lot of people, you know, they're busy with
their day to day lives. They're not getting into the
weeds of reading about different healthcare options and plans. For example,
(14:01):
like young people, I would recommend, you know, they get,
you know, a plan that has included in it a
check up every year if God forbid they need stitches
or you know, they break a leg or have an accident.
You know, you can get catastrophic insurance with as high
deductible as you can afford. And guess what, You're going
to pay a lot less for insurance and you're going
(14:21):
to be fully covered, especially for somebody that you know
is generally in good health. But telemedicine is also the future.
It's happening now. Health care savings accounts. I always love
that idea, and you accumulate money throughout your young years
and you take it into your older years when most
people need the money for health care or you know,
(14:41):
if you die quickly, that money goes to your family.
The other thing is healthcare cooperatives. Our friend, doctor Josh
Umber fifty bucks a month for adults unlimited care doctors
available twenty four to seven. He negotiated at Atlas MD
for health care prescriptions with directly with pharmaceutical companies ninety
percent discount. Leave the doctor's office with the medicine you need.
(15:06):
Where do you see healthcare going? And what should people
be looking for for their family's healthcare?
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You need a coach the number one most important thing,
and we're trying to do this at CMS, which is
the centers for Medicare and Medicaid that I administered. Last week,
we put a rule out because is you know, when
you change policies, how you do it, And we said
we're going to take two and a half percent from
all the specialists like me, you know, my heart surgeon,
and give that two and a half percent salary to
all the primary care doctors, the general practitioners, the guys
(15:35):
who on the street corner who you can actually go
get advice from about day to day issues, including the
ones you mentioned, the ones Josh for example, takes care
of and so by getting a coach in your life
who's got enough expertise to help you in a bind
when you have a problem, it's not some abstract concept.
He can holistically begin to manage you. Hey, you know, Sean,
I know you like to work out every day, and
I think your back pay might be from the working out.
(15:57):
Maybe you can change that a little bit litt a
little less jujitsu, a little more on peloton. I mean,
whatever the advice is, it's customized to you. But you
said something really important that you can actually negotiate drug prices.
That's what we've been doing. I bet you when we
look forward to the biggest health issue in the next election,
it's going to be the fact that that Trump RX
is a transparent, easy way for every American, every American
(16:21):
to see the actual best price for the drugs you're taking.
The sticker shock that afflicts one in three people prescribe
the medication from a doctor like me, and they go
to the pharmacy and I don't know what it costs.
When I literally write the prescription, the patient doesn't find
out that they're trying to pay and pick it up,
and all of a sudden they think, oh my gosh,
a thousand bucks. I can't afford that. And they run
away and they can't tell anybody because they're embarrassed right
(16:42):
now in Shawn in America. And the President goes crazy
with this, and he is a fantastic leader, I mean
just spectacular with this kind of stuff. He sees a
problem as a businessman, he says, you got to negotiate
to fix it. So he says, every American on average,
is paying three times more for the exact same drug
and the same bottle made the same fact actually as
they pay in Europe. Wrong should not happen. Global freeloading
(17:04):
has to stop. So he charged us. And as you know,
because he does this to you, he calls you, calls you,
called you because you've got ideas and concepts. He wants
to check in so with me, Secretary Kennedy.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
He calls all right, all hours of the day and night.
You never know when that call is coming.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
In when the odd hour call comes, it's from him. Anyway,
So the President, you know, I've got on this. And
as you know, last week we did the fourth of
these big announcements that with the leading US company, leading
European company, the all the fertility drugs. And now last week,
all the weight loss drugs will be sold at a
price that is dramatically lower. It's probably one fifth price
(17:39):
the actual list price of these drugs, and that's the
price they sold for in Europe. So now, and I'll
tell you that that announcement is really important for two reasons.
It takes care of a moral hazard. Now poor people
who are gaining weight and having problems have the opportunity
if they wish to get this drug. The number one place,
number one zip code for these drugs being used as
the upper East side of Manhattan. Not where the obesity
(18:01):
epidemic is crushing us. It's crushing us an Appalachia, Mississippian
rural parts of the country. So now we have a
pathway to giving medications to all those folks. And this
is a really good part. It saves us so much
by reducing diabetes and high pertension and all the downstream
problems gidney failure, heart attacks, throw a kidney, the liver problems.
They all get better, or at least they don't get worse.
(18:23):
And that actually will save us so much money that
we're actually the federal taxpayer is going to save money
with this deal within the next two years and over time,
it's going to be a massive benefit. So when you
look at the overall architecture of the healthcare landscape, the
most important thing we need to do as your guardians
of the taxpayer dollar and you need to do as
an individual is negotiate, ask, and we're insisting on transparency
(18:45):
now and within the next six to eight months, you'll
have tools that will give you complete transparency and the
cost of drugs, the cost of hospital, the hospital, your
doctors bill everything, so you don't get surprised, and then
you should be a smart user of the system. You know,
I'm not going to pay you XYZ for an set
scan when it's half the price across town. I'm not
going to pay three times more than the Europeace run
(19:06):
weight loss drug Trump all x has it for the
actual price that they negotiated for me. And this is
something that we've really struggled with in this country. We've
not had business people running these agencies. And now because
of the President attracting in top kit talent, you have
folks who made a lot of money negotiating because that's
what you do when you're making money. Now using that
(19:26):
same insight those same talents to protect the American taxpayer dollars.
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Okay, now let me ask you if you've brought up
weight loss drugs. I guess that's o Zepic and Manchuro
and I don't know the names of all of them.
Zep Bound is that one of them? And I know
a number of people that have gotten on these medications.
I can name three of them that lost over one
hundred pounds. You know, I'm not a doctor, but everything
(19:54):
I read about him is it's heart healthy.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
To me, it's common sense.
Speaker 1 (19:59):
One of the best things you can do for your
health is have a healthy weight. Are they how do
you feel about them as a medical doctor.
Speaker 5 (20:09):
Well, I want.
Speaker 3 (20:10):
To emphasize that obesity is not a deficiency of JLP
one drugs in your bloodstream, So medications are not essential.
Like you're very fit person, you work out all the time,
you watch what you eat, and so those are the
main ways that you.
Speaker 2 (20:25):
Bi the way.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
I hate that part of my life watching what I eat.
I hate the fact that I can't eat everything that
I want. I hate it. I want to eat everything.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Well, in your case, is you know what's the last
thing you eat before you fall sep at two in
the morning. That's the one that gets you. But for
a lot of people, they know where their weaknesses are
and they have to work every day to guard against it,
and that's how they stay fit. But there are some
people shown, for whatever reason, are hardwired to keep going,
keep eating when they shouldn't, and they put on a
lot of weight and their body gets inflamed, as you know,
(20:54):
and they paid the price for those people. These drugs
are spectacularly effective, as you point out, twenty weight loss
on average on average, so people lose more than that.
You have to keep working out. But I think of
them as a crutch. They are a way to get
you back to your fighting weight. It gets you gets
you to a place where you have a better chance,
because you know, when you're two hundred and seventy five pounds,
(21:14):
losing the seventy five pounds is really hard, but once
you're down to two hundred, the staying there is a
lot easier. All of a sudden, you can walk, you
sleep better, you know, a lot of things start to
shape up in your life. You're not depressed about the
weight you put on. So I see these a huge
win and at the price we were able to negotiate, which
was not easy. And you've got people at Chris Klomp
and John Brooks and THENDEZ, you know, Steph Carlton are
(21:36):
re top talent people fighting this battle. We were able
to get prices that the President insisted on and.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Those are the most he called the most favored nation
pricing because all these countries that have socialized medicine were
insisting on getting him for next to nothing or else
they they wouldn't get them.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
And at the same time he did what he did
with NATO. He said, we're not going to bankrupt these
form of companies. We need them to be innovation, so
we don't want to destroy American innovation. So we have
to pay fair price, which means the Europeans have to
pay more, and we got to pay less than in NATO.
You know, you have an external threat Russia. We're going
to go. We'll help. We'll pay extra, but not a
lot extra. You got got to put in five percent
(22:14):
of your GDP. You've got to contribute fair amounts of
money so that we'll match you. And that's what we're
doing with the drug companies. We're helping them overseas make
sure they're fairly paid so they can stay innovative. American
workers get well paid. The scientists can keep you know,
finding new solutions to cancer cures and autoimmune catastrophes and
all kinds of challenges that our nation and our people face.
(22:35):
But other countries also benefit from US funding a lot
of the research. They have to pay their fair share.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Doctor Olisad. Now, we took a lot of extra time,
but I think it's very helpful. It's everybody cares about it,
everybody's impacted by it, and we appreciate your time, your
hard work. I wish people would listen a little bit
more to facts and truth than the lies and hyperbole
of the left, because they just you know, they scare
people just for the sake of of advancing a political agenda. Uh,
(23:02):
doctor Oz, appreciate it. Thanks for the good work you're doing.
Eight hundred nine one. Shawn is on number if you
want to be a part of the program, My Free
State of Florida. Pat next on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Hi, Yes, Sean. The reason I'm calling is that I
remember years ago that you were you were discussing the
ATA program, the Obamacare, and you articulated it so well
it was. It was ridiculous. It was absolutely no brainer.
Seventy percent of the country didn't want it, but we
got it anyway. Okay, I just I really wanted you
(23:34):
to really re reignite the conversation you obviously did. You
were like sixteen steps ahead of me, like always. But
I'm happy that you're you're doing so. And and the
points that you made over the years about the program itself.
People gotta really you got to you got to reignite
those those those facts about the programs itself. And again
(23:57):
it should be a no brainer considering we have a
win at this point, we have like eight Democrats that
are crossing the line now not looking for reelection, and
I think we can we can manage something. Just get
the government out of it, total repeal of the ACA.
Every time the government touches something. You look at the
post Office, they haven't made a penny profit in over
(24:20):
fifty years. And you look at Amtrak, government subsidized in it.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
There's nothing that government does efficiently. This is what I
don't understand why the left, you know, clings to the
notion of the idea. You know that that of of
you know, government schools are horrible. Government health care. They
not only broke every promise, they they've made healthcare dramatically worse,
fewer options, paying more money than anyone ever dreamed. And
(24:48):
then they want to blame Republicans and throw more money
at what is a failed system. And you know, we
have something now called artificial intelligence. You know, for example,
radiologists are not going to exist in the future in
the sense that you know, there will be some but fewer,
but you're going to take scans and you're going to
give a hand them over to artificial intelligence. And I've
(25:09):
talked to radiologists that say, you know, they can pick
up things that no human eye can pick up in
terms of early detection of disease. I means that's the
longevity question, right, you know, health, wellness, fitness, nutrition, all
those things. I don't want to sound preachy or proselytizing,
but man, I mean the world's changing, Yes.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
Indeed it is, and the government cannot well. The way
the government keeps up with the change rate is probably
twenty years behind time. If you go to free markets,
free markets are fluid. Free markets will will will resonate
with people because it would be able to produce success
so much faster, and that in itself will convince the
(25:55):
people at Bay that are against that, meaning the government.
Some of the government. They want to have control, Okay,
and I understand that, and that's that's basically why there
there's professional politicians. They want control, They enrich.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
Themselves, they want the power that comes along with you
being dependent. Anyway, Pat, good call, my friend, God bless you.
All right, quick break, one more quick call on the
other side than We've got to honor our vets. This
is Veterans Day today. The President was at Arlington earlier.
Eight nine one, Shawn is a number if you want
to be on the show and be a part of
this program.
Speaker 4 (26:36):
Unmasking the left and holding the right accountable for their promises.
America needs Hannity now more than ever. This is a
Sean Hannity show.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
I'll get back to our busy phones. Eight hundred and
nine one. Steven Manhattan will get you in quick. We
have about a minute of twenty. It's all yours, gho, sir.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
As it going, Sean. And I'll tell you something. If
Papuchana would have became president, Midandi would be in Uganda
selling cheeseburgers today. Look, the left wing Democrats wanted to
basically make people get disturbed or the shutdown and really
went after everybody with this. They wanted to rev up
support for the election. But people should know the illegals
(27:49):
get healthcare through our emergencies rooms. They get it for
free and they also use nine to one.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
One as a cost service.
Speaker 9 (27:56):
So this is basically a scam that's done by the
Marxist Democrats now who are taking power. I mean listen,
Omar and all of them, and to lead and Alice
Cortez over in New York.
Speaker 5 (28:07):
These people are.
Speaker 9 (28:08):
Taking power in the Democratic Party. Does not spell good
for America. We have a healthcare system that was never fixed.
They kept throwing money at Medicare and Medicaid. They inflated
the system, and they kept adding more people through immigration,
and that's what caused it.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Americans.
Speaker 9 (28:24):
Coverage went down and the quality of medical services went
down for a lot of Americans. We got to get
rid of the nineteen sixty five Immigration Act. Sean and
great talking to.
Speaker 2 (28:33):
You, all right, my friend, God bless you. Listen.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
We just need to vet people. I don't care where
you come from. We need to do a background check.
No radical associations, A health check and you can't be
a financial burden on the American people. Go through that,
pay your way in and then welcome to our country.
Don't care where you come from. Don't there's not an
issue for me. Eight hundred and nine point one Sean.
If you want to be a part of the program,
(28:58):
you know, through the Tunnel to Foundation, you can honor
the courage as sacrifices of our great heroes in this country,
first responders, military heroes, heroes like US Army Lieutenant Colonel
Christie Raebitz. Now Christie served our country with unwavering dedication
for twenty years. As a combat nurse. She provided life
(29:19):
saving care to wounded soldiers, including at Walter Reed National
Military Medical Center during the height of the Global War
on Terrorism. Now Christy was also a devoted wife, a mother,
a mentor whose life was rooted in compassion and love
and integrity. After six years of courageously battling service related cancer, sadly,
(29:40):
Christie's life was tragically cut short, leaving behind her husband
and their two children. Now, Tunnel to Towers, because of
your thoughtfulness and generosity, was able to honor Christie's service
and sacrifice by paying off the mortgage on her family's home.
Now you can help more families like Christie's. Please join
us support the Tunnel to Tower Foundation. Go to their website.
