Hannan is the Churchillian figure who rhetorically skewered British Prime Minister Gordon Brown last month in the European Parliament for his reckless economic policies. Brown, who leads Britain's Labour Party, is said by some to be the most unpopular prime minister since Neville Chamberlain.

Hannan told Sean Hannity he doesn't want to see the United States destroy its world-class healthcare system as the U.K. has done to its own system. "If you see a friend about to make a terrible mistake you try and warn him," he said.

"We spend a lot of money and we get very bad results," he said.
