Fox News host Sean Hannity calls out House Republicans for a stopgap funding bill passed in an attempt to avoid a government shutdown in his Wednesday opening monologue about Hannity. As of Wednesday, the US national debt — a measure of what American taxpayers hold accountable to the country's creditors — exceeded $36 trillion, and showed no signs of slowing, with a projected deficit of $2 trillion for 2025.
Sean Hannity: Tonight, it looks like Donald Trump will face another Biden-era disaster when he takes office in January. This may include a government shutdown.
