Sean Hannity opens the show by celebrating the return of his voice after a sinus infection and laryngitis, then shifts quickly into the 2026 midterm landscape. He focuses on Graham Platner’s latest controversies, including comments about the Virgin Mary, Jesus, women, sexual assault victims, suicide, and Maine voters, arguing that Democrats are refusing to condemn him because they fear their radical base. Hannity broadens the critique to James Tallarico, Abdul El-Sayed, Mamdani, AOC, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and the Squad, saying this midterm cycle is unlike any in modern history. The hour also covers Iran’s worsening economic crisis, Trump’s leverage after Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury, the need for nuclear inspections, the Strait of Hormuz, Israel’s right to defend itself, Hezbollah, and the argument that Iran’s people may eventually rise up as food prices and unemployment worsen.
