Sean Hannity closes the show by focusing on the 2026 midterms and the Democratic Party’s leftward shift, highlighting Texas Senate candidate James Tallarico’s comments on gender dysphoria, transgender procedures for minors, DEI in schools, men in women’s sports, vegan campaigning in Texas, opposition to drilling, and his claim that God is non-binary. Texas Governor Greg Abbott joins to argue that Tallarico’s voting record puts him far outside Texas values and predicts he will perform worse than Beto O’Rourke did statewide. Abbott also discusses Texas’ business boom, Fortune 500 headquarters, the Texas Stock Exchange, and why companies continue moving from high-tax states to Texas. The hour also covers Democrats’ broader candidate problems with Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed, World Cup fans celebrating America, America’s 250th anniversary, the importance of reading the Declaration of Independence, and listener calls on Iran, New York City celebrations, and patriotism.

Sean Hannity is joined by Bill O’Reilly for the “Simple Man” segment to break down President Trump’s Iran framework and whether the memorandum of understanding should be taken seriously. O’Reilly argues the arrangement is a “seven-and-a-half out of ten” for the United States but raises concerns about Israel, inspections, and the Strait of Hormuz, while Hannity stresses that Trump’s own words matter most: if Iran cheats, he will resume bombing. The hour also covers Obama’s failed Iran deal, the possibility of sanctions relief only after performance, Trump’s comments on China and Xi, and why both Hannity and O’Reilly believe the midterms are tightening. Later, Hannity highlights polling showing many Democrats are no longer proud to display the American flag, discusses the radical direction of Democratic candidates like Graham Platner, Abdul El-Sayed, and James Talarico, and takes listener calls on Iran, the midterms, and whether Republicans can hold power.

Sean Hannity opens the show by explaining his ongoing laryngitis before turning to President Trump’s developing Iran negotiations. Hannity argues that the public “memorandum of understanding” is not the final deal, but rather a starting point for deeper negotiations after Trump’s strikes and threat to take Kharg Island forced Iran back to the table. He stresses that he does not trust Iran, but believes Trump has earned credibility through past actions including Soleimani, Baghdadi, Midnight Hammer, and Epic Fury. The hour focuses on Trump’s warning that “all hell will rain down” if Iran pursues a nuclear weapon, the need to verify any Iranian commitments, the collapse of Iran’s military and economy, falling oil prices, and the administration’s readiness to resume bombing if Iran cheats. Hannity also covers new details about the foiled terror plot targeting the White House UFC 250 event, including alleged drone and sniper plans, and credits law enforcement and a suspect’s mother for helping stop the attack.

Sean closes the show by arguing that President Trump has created a rare moment of leverage over Iran, with the regime weakened militarily, economically, and politically after U.S. strikes and the threat to take Kharg Island. Miranda Devine joins to discuss Trump’s negotiating style, the hardliners on both sides of the Iran debate, the role of the Gulf countries, the midterms, oil prices, and why Trump may give diplomacy space while keeping military options open. Hannity also reflects on Trump’s energy, work ethic, humor, and long-term place in history. The hour includes more discussion of the foiled White House UFC 250 terror plot, New York Knicks celebrations, Iran’s World Cup team restrictions, and a moving listener call from the father of Colin, a young Trump supporter with autism who is battling recurring tongue cancer.

Sean plays extended portions of his interview with Vice President J.D. Vance, focusing on what is and is not in the Iran framework. Vance denies reports that the U.S. is giving Iran money or approving a $300 billion Qatari payment, saying Iran would only receive economic benefits if it changes behavior, keeps the Strait of Hormuz open, gives up its nuclear ambitions, and complies with verification. He contrasts the Trump framework with Obama’s JCPOA, arguing that this deal starts from strength, has support from Gulf Arab nations, and would require a real inspections regime. Hannity and Vance also discuss destroying Iran’s enriched nuclear material, the need to verify every commitment, and why Trump’s willingness to use force brought Iran to the table. The hour also includes listener calls about Trump, globalism, NATO, national sovereignty, and why the 2026 midterms matter.

Sean Hannity opens the show by explaining his bout with laryngitis after a heavy travel, radio, podcast, and television schedule, then turns to his interview with Vice President J.D. Vance about the developing Iran agreement. Hannity says the administration is working from a memorandum of understanding that would require Iran to give up any path to nuclear weapons, hand over or destroy enriched material, accept verification, keep the Strait of Hormuz open, and stop funding terror. He stresses that the U.S. is not giving Iran taxpayer money and that any sanctions relief would depend on Iranian performance. The hour also covers President Trump’s warning that “all hell will rain down” if Iran cheats, falling oil prices, a foiled terror plot targeting the White House UFC 250 event, and the FBI’s recent success disrupting major threats.

In this episode, I had a lively discussion with my friend Eric Eggers. We started with some light-hearted talk about weekdays and school snacks, which quickly transitioned into more serious topics. We delved into the trial of Karmelo Anthony, exploring the public's reaction and the racial tensions it highlighted. The conversation touched on historical and current racial issues, crime, and societal double standards. We also discussed political dynamics and the rise of right-wing candidates. Throughout, we emphasized the importance of empathy and understanding in addressing these complex issues. It was a challenging but important conversation, and I hope it encourages listeners to reflect deeply.

Sean turns the final hour toward the 2026 midterms, arguing that Republicans must make the election a referendum on President Trump’s accomplishments while warning voters that a Democratic House would bring investigations, obstruction, and possible impeachment. Pollster Matt Towery joins to analyze the key Senate and House races, including Georgia, North Carolina, Maine, Michigan, and Texas, while stressing the importance of gas prices, economic momentum, candidate quality, and turnout. Hannity frames the Democratic Party as increasingly defined by Graham Platner, James Talarico, Abdul El-Sayed, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Mamdani, AOC, and the Squad. The hour also covers Robert De Niro’s anti-Trump comments, Hunter Biden defending Platner, Florida property taxes, New York’s possible wealth and exit taxes, and listener calls about retirement, purpose, and hard work.

Sean reflects on President Trump’s UFC event at the White House as part of America’s 250th celebration, contrasting it with what he describes as bizarre liberal counter-programming from figures like Jane Fonda, Bette Midler, and Joy Reid. Jim Gray joins the hour to discuss the White House UFC event, Dana White’s rise, Donald Trump’s love of sports, the Knicks’ first championship in 53 years, and what separates great athletes and coaches from everyone else. Hannity also discusses Bill Belichick, Tom Brady, Jalen Brunson’s selfless contract decision, the violent Knicks celebrations in New York, and why he believes sports, patriotism, and national pride are becoming major cultural dividing lines. The hour closes with listener calls on Iran, construction-style benchmark payments, the Trump doctrine, and retirement with purpose.
