SEAN HANNITY, HOST: And welcome to this special edition of "Hannity." And with the debt limit debate raging on Capitol Hill, Americans are getting more and more frustrated with our elected leaders in Washington. So for the next hour, Frank Luntz, our very own pollster, author of the book "Win" will once again be in Washington, D.C. bringing the voters together with America's leaders.

Frank.

FRANK LUNTZ, POLLSTER: Over the next hour, you're going to learn more about the deficit, the debts, Medicare, spending, all the issues that are affecting Washington today. And you are going to learn it from the American people.

Now, we are going to be using these patented dials. The higher that they react, the more favorable they feel about what they hear but if they dial it down, you know that they don't agree with their elected official. What is unique about this is, not only you are going to hear from the people making the policy, but you are going to hear from the American people who have to live with that policy.

And I'm proud to begin with one of the leaders with the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy. You are the whip, you're the one responsible for getting this legislation through. My question to you is, you know how divided we are. You know that there are challenges between the House and the Senate, the White House, and Congress. And even between politicians and the American people. How do we get it done? Everybody react, please?

REP. KEVIN MCCARTHY, R-CALIF., HOUSE MAJORITY WHIP: The only way we get it done, this is an opportunity. It's no more budget tricks, no more accounting gimmicks. No more broken promises. I think the American people deserve the right to know the truth. I believe when you give them the truth, they will make the right answer. No more of this negative that you demonize the other person. Let's go for the solution.

You know, Winston Churchill -- there's a painting of him in the back -- he once said that you could always count on Americans to do what is right after they've exhausted every other option. This is our opportunity. And we need to rise to the occasion just as we've done every time before.

My wife and I Judy have two kids, Connor 17 and Meghan who is 14. My wife and I no longer worry about what we become, we are worried about what our children become. And this is the moment that America grows back.

LUNTZ: Is that the right approach? Yes or no?

FOCUS GROUP: Yes!

Is that an approach that you can identify with?

FELICIA: As a parents who's concerned about the budget, the future even college education costs and taxes. I can definitely agree with that.

LUNTZ: You are one of the youngest people here, your reaction?

MATTHEW: As a young person, you know, I can see down-the- road, Social Security and Medicare and spending is out of control. We have to take control of it now or there won't be any of that for me.

LUNTZ: Your reaction.

UNIDENTIFIED MAN: My reaction of the issue is, what are we doing about it? What is your idea of the solution?

LUNTZ: OK. Let's do that. Everybody at 50, please, specific solution.

MCCARTHY: Specific solution. Take away all the partisanship. Sit down and work directly with the numbers. Don't play the games that everything is negative with it. Show what the numbers are. I will tell you, we have a $3.5 trillion budget, 1.5 of it is borrowed. You can't continue to live that way.

LUNTZ: You guys agree with that?

FOCUS GROUP: Yes!

MCCARTHY: So, this is what you do. If you just thought you could get out of this mess just by cutting -- I mean, government is growing too large, 82 percent in the last three years in discretionary spending.

LUNTZ: Do you guys agree with that?

FOCUS GROUP: Yes.

MCCARTHY: No household has done that. So, let's look at this just like a normal household. First, what we have to do, curb our spending where we can. Do we have some assets we can sell? And grow this economy. Let's make this economy with more jobs. What happens, you get more taxes.

JOHN: Specifically Congressman, what techniques are you using to eliminate the partisanship? Because most people are quite upset with it in America.

LUNTZ: Great question.

MCCARTHY: You know, when I came in, in 2006.

LUNTZ: React please.

MCCARTHY: Democrats became the majority. I sat down with this other congressman who came with me, Ed Perlmutter, he's a Democrat. We were here for about seven months. And I said Ed, why don't we put a dinner together? Let's not have anybody that is not a freshman. And let's do this.

So, we both paid for it. We go to a restaurant. And I start out saying, nobody can talk politics. Why? No one talk politics. We went around the room. You know, what we talked about? Our challenges because we're away from our family. Our families. At the end of the night what we found out, we have a lot of in common. A lot of the same challenges as an American. Then our next dinner, the next month, then let's talk politics. Because what happens, you start talking solutions. Because you take the demonizing of one another away. And you realize, we are in the same country where Americans first.

LUNTZ: Is this the right approach?

FOCUS GROUP: Yes.

LUNTZ: You are one of the toughest people on politicians, what is your reaction so far?

BOBBY: Well, my reaction so far is that there's a lot of words that are there. And the action from D.C. doesn't seem to be there. I mean.

LUNTZ: So, what do you want from D.C.?

BOBBY: I want them to stop!

LUNTZ: Stop what?

BOBBY: I want them to stop abusing us.
