About this episode
In this BONUS hour of The Sean Hannity Show , Sean sits down with Kurt Couchman , Senior Fellow in Fiscal Policy at Americans for Prosperity, to dismantle three persistent myths about the “One Big Beautiful Bill.” With facts and fiscal clarity, Couchman sets the record straight: Myth #1 : “Only the wealthy benefited from the Trump tax cuts.” FACT: The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered across-the-board tax relief—from doubling the standard deduction to lowering rates at every income level. Myth #2 : “The bill cuts Medicaid for those who depend on it.” FACT: Reforms focus on efficiency and restoring Medicaid’s intended mission—not slashing support for vulnerable populations. Myth #3: “This bill explodes the deficit.” FACT: The real culprit is out-of-control spending—not tax cuts. Federal spending has tripled since 2001, while the 2017 cuts spurred growth, boosted incomes, and actually helped revenue. Growth, Couchman argues, is the antidote to deficits. A must-listen for anyone debating tax policy, entitlement reform, and fiscal responsibility. Please follow The Sean Hannity Show wherever you get your podcasts.
